immigration into Louisiana to foster

where. TO accomplish these ends Tho
purpose is In nominate tor the State

Sad experience has taught us that
tbs cannot ho done by alliances with

These oSprtIrnts have been tried time
and ngain. and in every instance the
tcan't has been disaster and s,ninc.
Driven no" by necessity, aye by deR-
reratinn, IN rely upon themselves, it
IL proposed by tho white people to
make he urxt fight upon the high,

have mentioned. 1t il y. opposed tn

II this is tho tIuc theory Of the white
mars party, il is sound democracy or
cons"a ai!sm, and we shall civo il our
cordial support. We hnve long since
arrived at the conclusion, that moth
ing could be accomplished by alliances
with carpet bagcetl and negroes, be-

H"cond, guided entirely by their preiu-

The wIGdon OF the new policy pro-
posed brremes more evident every day.
The republican party is breaking mp;
lis chiefs are rcbclling aud setting up
their independent standards; and.
strange as II may eeen the Indications
nro that liberal party ia organizing

Grant will br united IN favor Of u truer
policy toward the South aud which

interests, rather thdn foster its negro
aud cnrrtt.bag governments and polIt
zeal theories. Tho bayonct game has
been played aGnIust us for tho Inst

and he played it IN Arkansas in the in
tcr"sts Of tho people Of the State
against the carpet bag thieves and
their negro allies; and now. from every
quarter Of The North. we hear mnttcr
inss of wrath over the outragcs that
have been perpetratcd, and the ruin
that has been wrought by negro and
carpet-bag government in the South
ern STATES.
The negroes made themselves valu
able ia the radical party in it's day Of
hate, Ivy banding themselves into Il sol

teicsts ot the white people. The day
when those foolish creatures gould be
thus usnin! to the radical politicians is
past, or.ls rapidly passing away, and "A
new era is upon us. Now, then, let
the white people. III the interests of
the whole people of LoUsIana, com
bine III II solid body and cooperate
with any national party that iasnres
the full coming Of the new era. Let
the white people, indeed, Of the whole
South comhine and offer such alliance.
Throughout the South The whites out
number the pfcroes three to one, and
II the united negro hordes were talua-
ble enough to the. Republican party to
induce that party, for their support, to
aevastata half dozen empires. tie
united whites of the South can WELD Il |

may well be the restoration of the pros
perltv and wealth Of those empires.
