PARTY NAMES.

h onr views and aims in the ap-
oroaching canvass, and with 1ervof
exnresses the wish, that the Demo
Graf will be found making this cam
noion with them, with all its energy
and ability. The writer, whom we
esteem and whose strength and con-
sistency as pure and orthodox dem
ocrat, we are convinced of and truly
esteem, need have no fears, nor one
single doubt as to our position and
future course. We are vain enough
in our devotion to principles, ma
tured and sanctifed by years of prac-
tical and hard earned experience, to
honestly believe we are right in wan
TING to start, for the redemption OF
prostrate Louisiana, under the hal
lowed and time honored banner OF
Democracy, State rights Democracy
And in this conviction and with this
honest and determined will, we made
our move from the best and most pru-
Dental motives, and motives of po-
litical gratitude, consistency and fair
dealing. For one we are not IN the
yard business, do not desire 10
cast obloquy, nor turn cold should
er on men, who have been true to
principle, under all circumstances
and have never ceased to fight oul
battles, even with bayonets at thell
throats, and on a party, a nationa
nartv. who have clutched the tori
and tattered banner Of Democracy
from a hundred fields Of defeat, anc
has erased those blots Of defeat from
it's sacred folds and now holds i
high and proudly triumphant in tn
victorious air of pure, unsullied ant
