On motion, the following resolutions were
adopted
Whereas, in order to assure the return of good
government in Louisiana, it il absolutely neces-
sary to put end to the official rascalities inau
gurated in 1865 by Warmoth and his miniOns
and now 80 outrageously continued by the has
tard and fraudulent administration Of Kellogg
and his ignorant negro Legislature;
Whereas, it is the duty of every admirer Of
decency to battle against the existence of all in
fiuences injurious to good morals and dangerous
to society;
Whereas, Radcalism has not only robbed the
inhabitants of our commonwealth by taxation
almost equivalent to confscaton, but has insti-
tuted fraud everywhere, and accords its protec
ton not to the true friends and honest citizens OF
our State, but to vile adyenturers, low-lived and
degraded politicians, and TO the uncultivateG
dupes composing the negro race
Whereas, it is fully time for the white men Of
Louisiana not false to race or to color, to unite
in order to destroy all evil influences, and tA
place the negro where nature has ordered thx1
they should be; and whereas, also, nothing Less
than the triumph Of the White Mans Party will
cause the return of confidence, Of general pros
perty and OF Individual happiness,
Whereas it is well established fact thzc
wherever the negro race has obtained supremacy
debauchery and corruption follow witness Hay6,
South Carolina, Louisiana, etc. while, ON tbe
contrary, wherever power returns to the whdt6
man society breathes the beneficial air of pres
perity. Georgia, Virginia. Texas etc, illustrate
this.
Resolved, That We, the white voters of the Fifth
Ward, do constitute ourselves political organ
cation, for the purpose Of opposing Radicaism,
and, >cT1a 70 40 kct La -

zaton shall be The Fifth Ward White League"

managers and editors, we express our sentiments
of gratitude for their lebOrs in favor Of cur
cherished cause.

forts of our brothers throughout the State, who
have already SO admirably organized in order 70
oppose solid front to tho wOrshipers of corrnp-

When your liver becomes sluggish in ito
functions, and the impulse TO quarrel is strong
upon you. don't be SO ;ndiscreet as to pick uE
a clergyman to practice on, but avoid him az

breaker, are some of the miider projectiles
And the clergyman isn't angry either, but his
sensibihties are little touched.
