DEMOCRATIC ARTIFICE,

The unsuccessful Democratic artifce
practiced ever since the congressional
work of reconstruction commenced in tie
South, namely-the cry for white man S
government, and the denunciation of
negro governments-having but little
foundation in fact, is again attracting a
good deal of attention for the reason that
White Leagues are being organized in
this State with view of electing none
but Democrats to Office this fall. To do
this the White League proposes to in
augurate reign of terror through re-
peated acts of violence, and thus keep the
great mass Of Republican voters from
casting their votes. But the White
Leaguers know this can not be done unless
they bring some influence to bear upon
the President that will induce him not to
aid in the enforcement of the laws; and
for that purpose their Democratic friends
in the North are now endeavoring,
by misrepresentation, to create a
public opinion that will induce the
President to keep his hands off
while they go in, and by killing few
hundred negroes, carry the election trium-
phantly for the Democratic party, by re-
turning six Democratic members of Con-
gress and electing Democratic Legisla-
ture for Louisiana. The Democrats un-
doubtedly think this could be done Just
as easy as falling off log if the President
would only let them alone while playing
their game, and they are now as busy as
bees manufacturing just such plausible
items as the following taken from a New
York letter published in the Chicago
Evening Journal:
The negro governments in the recon
structed States are becoming source of no
little solicitude to those hereabOuts who
have been the fast friends of the colored
race in years gone by. A change Of public
sentiment is rapidly going on IN this section
of the North, which bodies mo good to
''colored gentlemen" who now hold the
reins of authority in South Carolina and
come other Southern Statee. People are
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-08-04

Times as malignant and abominable
will at least have sympathy for these re-
fugees from intolerant violence. These
Northern men may say, "We sent to
Shreveport last year aid in her calamity.
We have sent to overfowed Louisiana this
year hundreds of thousands Of dollars,
with our sincere sympathy. Do these
people pretend friendship when in want,
and visit upon all who will not obey them
exile and death ?"
The reliance upon the extra-judicial
opinion of Justice Bradley will mislead
those who may trust in its virtue. 1t is
entirely inapplicable to protect the peo-
pie of State in the violation of law, as
we shall show.
There is a clause in the constitution
which makes it the duty of the federal
government to protect the States against
domestic violence" We do not doubt
that the law made or laid down by the
Shreveport Times is paramount within
the jurisdiction of those who believe in
that journal, but this circumference is
very small, and the popula ton within this
charmed circle very sparse. What the
Times or even Justice Bradley may call
righteous combination to prevent men
from voting because they are, in the esti-
nation of the Times, ''rasca Is, the Gov
ernor of the State may choose TO consider
domestic violence" so, that, while
under the extra-judicial ruling OF
Justice Bradley, this conspiracy and
massacre is mere offense against State
laws that can not be executed, a federal
army may, if necessary, put down this
domestic violence" with very strong
hand. 1t may be very well for the small
portion Of the people Of Shreveport who
propose to carry the election by force of
arms, to obtain some more impartial ex-
position of the law than that which we
have noticed.
This avowed purpose Of carrying the
election by force, is an additional evil
dence of domestic violence, and the
peace of this country will be preserved
according to law and rega rdless Of ccnse-
uuancac
