Some Of the RisaRp0inteds

In the local history Of Democratic politics
this days proceedings will add several in
terest,ng pages. The ward clubs viii elect
delegates 20 the nominating convention,
and il seems as If there is quite As much
honor ior pelfl in the position Of delegate
as there is in genuine office. Before the
witching hour Of this night there will be
some very sore heads and several men who
must conclude tha. mans inhumanity %
man make. countless politicians bleed pro
fusely. Men who to-day think they will
surely be nominated tor tat offices, will
retire 70 restiye eouches iuU OF bitterness
and repentance. dec laring that they can no
longer place confidence in .heir fellow men.

We the People,

Mr.. w. N. Levy, candidate of the White
Leaguers. ETC.. for Congress in the fourth
congressional district Of the State. with
some sixteen others. who sign themselves
the people OF Natchitoches, have issued an
address to their "fellOw.citizens of the State
and Union," which concludes as follows:
Expressions Of loyalty to the federal
government are SO common that they have
become tame and trite. The people OF this
parish do not deem it necessary to indulge
in;lOud protestations of their loyalty. Ever
since the surrender at AppomatOx they
have demonstrated by their acts their allie.
glance to the constitution and their ODE.
dience to the laws Of the United States, and
they have manifested none other than loyal
feelings. They certainly have no desire to
array themselves against the Union or to
wage war against it; but they possess. un.
der the constitution and laws. equal rights
with the citizens OF Maine, Ohio. or any
other State.
In the exercise of these rights they deny
the legal power of tho President of the
United States to interfere by military force
rightful government or deny the right Of
self government, and should he, in plain
violation of, or Indifference to fundamental
law, interfere by such military power, the
question becomes no longer local, but of
national importance, as being subyersive Of
the principles contained in the great decla-
ration of rights which nearly century
since gave birth to this nation, and this
people will only yield to overwhelming fed.
eral force. and they appeal 70 their coun.
trymen throughout the whole Union. in the
name Of their virtue and intelligence. Of
their veneration Of that declaration of
American independence whose centennial
anniversary they are preparing to celebrate
with imperial splendor. Of their memory of
those grand men who pledged ''their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honors' to
give them the right of seIfgovernment. to
aid US in vindicating the purity Of the bal.
lot, the sanctity OF the judiciary. aud the
cause Of honesty and Justice.

During his speech he said that the Con:

agitation Of negro questions, and members
Of that party were seeking 20 sustain and

Referring to Maynard's accusation Of his
connection with the sale Of the CONTROLLERS
office, he said it was willfuI and malicious
slander. and said that Maynard exhibited
the most objectionable ignorapce with re.

Brown proved a great reduction OF the
debt since the Conservative party got con-
troll Of :he State.

ORLEANS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1874.


street Talk 0n0 tue MOO0 OI tue teOpIes
Neither potentia! nor subjunctiye, bu,
slightly indicative, seems now the mood OF
the populace OF this city. The election
among the faithful that takes place absorb.
al! iuinor topics. and the strife for office,
patent now and present, has scattered the
ashes Of an Issue that is dead and gone.
The clerical force 10 out in full strength,
and the boys of the quill, ledger and bill
of lading book are being maneuvred in a
masterly manner. By the way. is it no:
worthy of remark that mechanics and work
men look with etoical disgust upon the
turmoil, struggle and warfare Of the pas,
three weeks. The Scribes and Pharisees
have it all to themselves. The lawyers. the
doctors and the preachers urged on and
have melted this aew rebellion.
They have sedulously striven to teach .he
multitude a political faith that was demol.
ished by tho great civil war. Under new
names the same old doctrines have been
preached; in reyamped phrases the lawyers
have argued the same old questions. These
men have set themselves up as leaders.
Acting Oh their superior knowledge, and,
in some cases. pre- suming upon their supe'
rior wealth and posit ior. they have com'
PEELED the youth Of this city and State to
deeds Of violence and outlawry. Under
the leadership of men in whom they had
been taught to believe. many Of our citi'
zens have brought themselves liable to
prosecution and made themselves liable
even 70 punishments as felons.
The men Of toil-thoso who build, those
who plant and gather tho harvest. the me.
chanic and the agricul turist. have taken
no part in the fight. Having everything to
lose and nothing to gain from condition
of anarchy. they stand sloof and await
theie opportunity.
The bankers and capitalists, who on the
sixteenth and seventeenth Of last month
rushed 80 anx,ously TO tho telegraph Office
and flashed to Washing ton City the intelli-
gence that all was peace and that business
was being carried on with removed conf
dence, find their stocks quoted lower in the
market and look scared, now that in their
own ranks new party Of reputation has
been formed. It is well enough to abuse
and shoot Republicans, but the bonds held
by the oldest and bes: are sacred property.
The people generally. the working people.
are tired Of this constant revival of the old
war cry. Tho turbulent spirits who in
their mad struggle for place and political
power, can awaken no enthusiasm among
the great masses. No oligarchy can rule in
q country where all are free and equal.
