Meeting Of Ward No. 4, at Alto.

At a meeting of the white men OF
Ward No. 4, held in Alto, on July
llth, 1874, the following Platform
of Principles was adopted:
lat. White men shall rule our
Parish and State.
2nd. Intelligence and honesty
combined shall be sought for in the
candidate for Office
Ord The Office shall seek the man,
and We will ignore the man who is
an Office seeker.
4th. just and equal legislation for
the repeal of all those unwholesome
and obnoxious laws passed by a cor
rupt Legislature for the oppression of
the people, and in lieu thereof the
passage of such laws as will bear
alike on all, protecting equally capital
and labor.
9Th. We look with detestation and
disgust upon the civil rights bill, it
being destructive Of the best interest
of the two races, having q tendency
to gender hatred and strife and finally
bring war-Of races.
9th. We look upon Office seeking
carpet-baggers as the worst enemies
Of mankind, their object is to plumber
the people, and in order to do this
they practice deception and fraud on
the ignorant colored man, excite the
worst Of passions and hatred towards
their employers and friends.
7lh. We propose the regeneration
OF our State from her present thrall-
dom and bankruptcy, and cordially
urge unitica:ion of the white people
Of the State.
Sth. We desire to cultivate friend
ly relations with the colored people
OF the State and cordially invite them
to assist Us in consumatlng the ends
proposed by the white mans party;
which is the elevation of the two
races to the sphere to which they
properly belong.
We propose regular system OF
public education for the mutual bene-
lit OF both races we offer no COM
promise; nor promise to the colored
man to elevate him to Office, as the
experience of the past shows his in
capacity to rule, but pledge him full
and equal protection under the laws.
10th. That we regard it the sacred
and political duty Of every member
of this club to discountenance and
socially prescribe all white men who
unite themselves with the Radical
party ; and to supplant every political
opponent in all his vocations by the
employment and support of those who
ally themselves with the White Mans
Party; and we pledge ourselves 10
exert our energies and use our means
to the consumatinS oe this end.
llth. That We plegde our solemn
donors not to supply or aid any COM
bined body of men who persistently
vote against the interest of the White
Mans Party, which pledge shall take
effect after the first day of January
next, 1875.

With the anticipated coming O

aud appointments-o of equity off
Gers, and delegates to the State and
District Conventions might b..
made at one County Convention
Ut would certainly work savin.
in time and expense. if i, would be
otherwise feasible ana satisfactory.
We trust that every detail Of
preparation for the campaign will
lie carefully considered by those
having tho matter in charge. An
essential point in the consideration
of the chances for success, is to
maintain unity in party ranks. So
far as the election Of county ffice,s
Is concerned, We are satisfied that
with q united front o. the Rerubli
cans presented in the field, victory
is certain to he won. In the sclcc
ton Of delegates 10 Conventions,
aud in the nominations, individual
interests and preferences should
never be made paramount to the
viii and desires of the majority.
What tho people desire, and vii,
have, unless defeated by fraud OF
imposition, is honest, capable men
ih PAGES Of trust and honor; men of
known ability and integrity: VIII"
will not suerve, FIR any considcra-
ton, to the right nor left, from the
path Of duty. 1t is necessary that
such men bo chosen, not only TO az.
ford safety and security to the peo
pile OF the county in their internal
relations; bnt, also. to give them.
collectively, as county, credit and
influence among those outside, with
whom they, of necessity, have to
deal. We have more men If in
tegrity and ability than is ncccssa-
ry to fill acccptably every office in
tho gift of the people. S.me Of
those men already hold positions OF
trust, and fshe people see fit to
reins'ate them in Office. we will he
the last to say nay. We do MT
cay that wa anticipate any division
among Republicans, caused bv per
S"nal spites and animosiilcs, if any
sncli exist. We merely caution
against the possible occurrence of

ELSEWHERE may bo found the
call for the Republican State Con
ven'ion. From the manner IN
which it reads, some might perhaps
infer that the intention was to ap
point two delegates from each
county, and four at large from eacl,
Represe ta'ivc District. The fonr
delegates are to be chosen, evident
ly, from each county where the
number Of electors entities it to ore
or more Representatives.
