; II is with deep regret. that I take
issue with my old friend General
Campbell. He has bcen M orna-
{; ment to the Republican party ol
Louisiana, and to his great talents
we owe ihuch, md Z have told him
that to his talents we looked for
much moro good services to the Re-
publican party. I opposed his
course and pleaded with him not to
follow it farther, as it put weapon
in the hands of oar enemies, who
would say, look At those negroes
how they drive i Write man out Of
their party, Or on the other hand,
that the carpet-bdggger finding he
could no longer ralewas determined
to ruin US. Estate now, gentlemen,

that for nearly five years the black
men have stood q solid unit under General
Campbell and bin class, and if; at,
this time our friend General Camp
bell should see ft to differ with us,

Of this convention. I tell him as. I

coniilan6dn whatever: from the
nstive-born Louiaianians, he owes
that consideration 10 the very. fact
that hsshase been put into position
by the black men. And while his
idea may be q correct. one, while
his theory may besthe true theory,
I say at the aaana time that the very
same motive which, mikes me waiye
ny judgment, onght to appeal to
him in tones Of thunder to do the
sa,ne.:: Side by side he has risen
With me in this State. We were on
the some ticket, and he got. even a
higher yQte than. ! did, and that,
from. the colored msa. In the sub
election /. alse, the people
rallied as one 3msa to his support
and again PLACED him in. position.
And Sir. I appeal to you by every
sense Of nght,aad justice to recant.
I say to you now in public that the
Republican party needs and hopes
10 have you in II. You may, pos
sibly for the present, sir, have the
New Orleans Times, tho Picayune
