tryi auu VINO nave oDtalneu tne support OF |
the leading politicians OF the Tammany |
school bya q promise OF dividing the spois. |
Without exception they are the bigots whose |
bitterness has been evinced for the past |
twenty years in the defamation of their OPP |
ponents. They are the men who have utter |
ed the most unchristian, the most ferocous,
the most villianous sentiments about and
against the Southern people, women and
children as well as men, during the war, and
who have done most to develop and pass
that legislation since the war, which true
Democrats denounce as against the liberty
and against the spirit of our institutions.
They are the men who have riveted the South
In its chains, and burdened 1t with its in
creased debt, the proceeds of which have
gone into the pockets OF the select
few, who have fattened upon the
misfortunes of the people, and
who turn to the new ring and Tammany
allegiance in order to still further enrich and
ennoble themselves. Yarmouth, who has
increased the debt of Louisiana $45 900, 600
in three years, whose fraudulent acts and
villainous State legislation have been de.
nounced in Democratic papers from Maine
to Texas, is the leader par ercellence OF the
chivary Of the South His influence at Gin.
cinnati and the sixteen votes of his delega-
| tion insured the nomination of Greeley, and
| yet we are coolly informed that the people
| done 1t with enthusiasm. Yarmouth can
control the registry in Louisiana and can
elect by fraud such candidates as he pleases,
| just as the Mayor of New York has the de
cided in appointing all the return officers;
| or Mr.. Greeley, who can If not checked, carry
out the open assertion of $4,000 majority in
| November. And Augustus Schell and others
have written urgent letters for the good of
the cause that Louisiana Democrats should
work in harmony with Yarmouth, and II is
| boldly proposed to put him in the United
states Senate as reward for his infamy.
Can 1T be that the people are so degraded
| as thus to sanction premium for their own
dishonor? Is our body polite to .be innocu-
lated with the base poison of fraud9
Is this a better method of securing our
liberties than the partisan use of those laws
which were originated by prominent leaders
of Mr.. Greeley's party, and placed among
our statutes to be enforced by the boyonets
of the present Administration? Shall we
suffer our liberties to perish either by slow
poison or by the sword, or, preferring rather
to maintain them and ensure q free express
sion of popular will, shall we not make war
| against all parties who attempt to pervert
the Constitution? Can the people of the
south clasp hands with those men who have
wronged them from the termination of the
war? Can northern men condone such of
| fences by placing them in power? In Texas

ry course was so nobly rebuked and thwart-

with honors B. Gratz Brown, who in August,
1868, out Heroded Herod for disenfran-
chisement and prosecution and recanted 1t
only when office was to be obtained, and
: future plunder was in view; Blair, who came
into the party to destroy it, and nobly has
fulfilled his mission; Schurz, who was loud
est of all, would sweep the south with the
/ besom of destruction, and viewed the cleo

tested OF all its citizens. In Georgia, Brown,
