Copying that part ofour article, the
Bulletin proceeds to assert its claim
to 0eing "the very first to put for
ward the proposition Which. has
been so generally accepted through
out the; SRte,n preceding which it
declares that 'sbefore the Cawcasiam

tie White Mans Party 1t then
proceeds to reason with us thusly:
But whils ne are favorable to the or.
ganization Of Che White League, we are at
the same tip,e an advocate Of the organi.
cation Of the Democratic party. The lat
ter will embrace certainly nothing bnt
white men, and will in itself form u por.
ton of the White League. We can see
nothing Inconsistent or rfwise In this
proposition. If the UsMocra TIC pArts is
aTrayed against the negro and the Repull-
licans, it becomes White League. and no
one can object to its efficient organization
with q view. of securing those advantages
which will nasura1ly and necessarily ac-
crue from. the success of the Democratic
party throughout the different States aud

Congress of tho Lower House, and in 1874

upon Saturday, the 2Sth day Of
March, and. if our recollections is
correct, We saw Volume l., Mum
Der ], Of the Bulletin on the follow
ing Monday. Looking over our
files we find our first notice of the
Bulletin in our number of April
18th. Our opinion is that the APP
pcarancc Of the two papers was al
most simultaneous. Atany rate, if
we were not ''born" when the Bulle
tin first made its appearance, it had
not got off it's swaddling clothes.
We have read it's editorials with
attention and have "closely observ-
ell the course Of the paper ever
since its first number, it having
kindly exchanged with us both its
daily and weekly for oar weekly.
and our error if one at all, does not
arise from negligence, but from our
inability to comprehend just
how the Bulletin does stand upon
the question of the "White Mans
Party" That all its efforts are de-
voted to the good of the white PEG
Eple, that all it's sympathies are with
the white people and that it is a
bold and fearless advocate of the
rights of the white people, we
I6lnow, as every body knows and
we give it full credit for its manly
and outspoken course generally.
We, however, mildly intimate to
our gallant contemporary that we
are rather inclined to think that it
has not been altogether consistent
upon this question.
However, we proceed to answer
the question it propounds to us, to
which the Louisiana Democrat says.
amen. In the first place, we are the
ayowcd and sworn champion of the
cause q the White MAINS Party
and have been so,- long before
either it or the Democrat, were out
in favor of the organization of the
Democratic partys while we were
at sea, and before any line OF poll
cy had been sforshadowed for this
campaign, and we will not desert
our standard until the people Of this
State have Snn1,n, their mind n
they speak in favor of Democracy,
We Will fall into ranks chccffully
and work zealously for their sue

assured that that party could poll
the full white vote of the State, by
compromise with past prejudiccs,
we would lie in favor of making the
fight under the banner Of that par
