Arming-WhO to Strike.

The New Orleans Bulletin has sew.
eral times recently warned the people
of the country that the negroes were
being furnished with arms from New
Orleans. We do not know that there
is any direct testimony to prove the
truth Of these assertions, and, indeed
there is little probability of any. s"ct
evidence leaking out for IL !. - Tue
nurnoso of the carPet-baggers and seal
uars % resort to the desperate means
of arms to maintain their doomed
power, their aim will be to conduct
their operations in secrecy, and per-
petrate massacre rather than engage
in fight. 1t behooves the white
people therefore to be on the watch
to notice closely all the movements Of
the negroes and the white rascals that
are leading them. The political situ-
alton gives us good basis for suspi-
cion, and the threatened consequences
are of too grave nature to be lightly
thought of. The carpet-baggers and
scallawags see that their long reign
of rascality and plumber is likely to
terminate, and they are 10th to
abandon their prey. They have so
long reveled aud rioted upon the sub
stance of Louisiana, that they have
come to feel that the property and the
fruits of the Industry OF our citizens
are theirs by some diabolical right and
they arc incensed at the spectacle Of
the white people organizing all over
the State toprOteci themselves. They
have come also to count upon the ne
groes to support them in all their
schemes of robbery, and in their out
RACES upon public decency, and to
raise riots and provoke bloodshed
whenever it suited their purposes.
Consequently they will make a des.
perate effort to hold on to their pow
er, and are cxerting all their devilish
ingenuity to combine more closely
and compactIy the negro elements, and
to fire their hearts with a still more
brutal hatred Of the whites. These
things we know they are doing they
are organizing negro clubs all over
the State; they are promising the nc
groes the contscated property of.the
whites in the event ofsuccess, and arc
making them believe that if the whites
get possession of the government, they
will be deprived,if not of their person.

racy but ali the signs admonish US
to be on our guard.
The white people of this State have
no desire to engage in a conflict with
the negroes their earnest desire is to
cultivate feelings of reciprocal kind
ness with them the white people have
property, commercial, agricultural
and other Industrial interests at stake,
all OF whic.i must be injured by civil
war, or rio;ug and bloodshed. But,
they can and will no longer permit
the banded negroes OF the State, led
on by a set of white scouadrels. to
rob, and plumber, and outrage them,
and they have determined to establish
IN Louisiana a government of law
and order, administered by honest
and competent men. If the negroes
think proper to oppose this resolution
by arms, then, in that event, the issue
they make will be squarcly met by
the whites, and all the conliscated
land they are likely to get will be a
ditch long and deep enough to con-
tain their bloody carcasses. Then
lie: the negroes Of Louisiana beware.
Whensver the Anglo-Saxon and Afri-
can have met in arms, the result has
not Lcen q battle but q butchcrv-it
has been as in Bossicr in 1868, and at
Cclfax in 1873. We desire the ne
groes to understand that, while we
are resolved to elect only white men
to Office, and to establish a white mans
government, our purpose is not to
make war upon their rights, but to
protect our own. Nay, to state the
case more broadly, to protect the in
tercsts of the people of Louisiana
without distinction of race tut il
they will have blood the respons rility
will be upon their own heads.
And now word to our own peo-
pie. BE prepared for any emergen-
cy BE calm, but be resolute and
myelding; let the negro understand
that our purpose is not to deprive
him o. his rights; but let him know
also that We are Independent Of him,
and that we solicit neither his aid nor
his appreciation and, finally if a fight
is forced upon us, let us be sure that
the carpet-baggers and scalawags dc
not escape let US see that the dogs
do not scamper off before the fight, as
they did at Colfax.
There has been enough of the blood
of white citisens and negro fools shed
in this State through the Vaccinations
of these white radical villains; il
must be stopped, and the whites are
determined that if the Colfax issue
is again forced upon them, there will
be a day in the history of Louisiana
that will startle the world. &recc

An immense meeting of the White League

read by Mr. Laurent Dupre, and the meeting
was addressed by the gallant Col. Deblanc, of
st. MartinsviIle, and several other gentlemen.
Mr.. Robert $. Perry, of Iberia, in his speech
said: "He was a delegate TO the first Demo

a question as 10 whether negro delegates
should be admi, ID to seats on the floor which
was opposed. The matter being referred to
a commute, Judge Laws, the chairman of
that Commute, reported in favor of admitting
negro delegates 10 seats, upon an equality
with other members of the convention. a

the result ofattcmpted compromise with an
