vania. For this alone | think we owe a
debt of gratitude, which we may endeav-
or to pay by coming down to encourage
you i'll your good work.
We shall not speak at length Of events
long past. but rather gather from them
what best for us to do. We know the
effects OF the late war, and the pledges
and promises made 10y the party in pow
er since its clos =; and if they have been
unfaithful to these pledges, we may ask
all thinking citizens TO come and try as
rulers men no in the past have never
forfeited their word and honor. Men
who, prior to 1860 welded the destinies
OF our country, and who took it at its in
fancy and conducted it To the very acme
of National power. ! claim we have a
right to ask the people to try some other
party rulers.
The party in power promised us peace
to-day all over the land ? Are men Sc
cure in their rights of person and prop
erty Do the people Of Louisiana, Flor
ida. Alabama and South Carolina enjoy
these rights and pursue their usual avo-
cations protected by the laws L. it
true that everywhere law has been SUI
preme and property safe ?
II not true. then who is responsible ?
Who have had the power for the last
fourteen years Is the Democratic party
responsible or the party in power
Why are these things so !? 1t il be-
cause the Republican party of the North
vomited out its worst elements TO prey
upon the very vitals of the Southern
| communities. They are the worst en-
| gines of fraud, outrage, anarchy and OPP
preston that ever cuised any conimuni-
| ty. and are fast reducing the South to a
| condition of despotism worse than death h.
II is this condition of affairs which made
blood flow like water, in New Orleans, a
few weeks ago,-which has rendered
property valuelcss and life insecure. =
| The South Will become very wilderness
unless soon released, and to that appeal
for relief. you in part must answer.
| The President has stood like man OF
iron, giving no assistance, to suffelingpco-
pie of the South and supporting the OPP
pressors and despoilers, in order that hi,
party may be successful and be continued
in power. Therefore, the President an,
the party in power are responsible for tn,
condition of affairs i'll the South. They
have the power to end these affairs but
they wont do it.
They know they can have no power un
less supported by federal soldiers. Why
the governments of Kellogg and Nose
would not stand twenty four hours wer,
it not for federal bayonets. This is til,
worst form of government because it is in
fiicted under the shadow of law.
But all these englnts OF fraudc and tyran
ny have failed, aud their power is slipping
) away. They have determined to ing L
their aid n measure to secure the united ans
continued support oi a race but recent,
seryile slaves.-AThis measure is the Civ
