says ssthst the Now Orleans Bee,
Alexandria Caucasian snd Shreve:
port Times, the Representatives OF
. new party, have sounded the key
note for the coming campaign, and
unfurling the party banner, expect
to march to victory.under the high
sounding and distinctive title ofthe
White Maas Party" The name To-
not particularly "hfgh sounding"
but after six years Of oppression
and misrule, subject to the govern
ment of the very worst class Of
knaves and fools, forced to submit
to the domination of an ignorant
ana inferior race, whose impudence
and vaulting ambition knows no
bounds, the name of White Mans
Party, is however, euphonious and
conveys an idea, that creates a
pleasant emotion, in the bosom Of
every wliite man, who signs for the
supremacy Of his race, and the res
toration of an honest and good gov.
er,ment.
The Telegram says: ''The name
is good, and it's glittering sheen will
probably attract the influence OF
many who do not understand that
it is intended as an array of race
against race.n We do not suppose
that there is a white man in Louis
lana, whose powers of perception
are so obtuse, as not to understand
that the. very object of the White
Mans Party, is to array the white
race into a political organization in
direct antagonism to the domina'
ton of the negro race; to wage in
cessant warfare tor it's supremacy,
and right of dominion in all things
pertaining to our local and State
governments. rs there anye one IN
this State that does not know that
the negroes have, from the date oil
their reimbursement, been held
together, and blindly led by a di'
rect appeal to their prejudiccs OF
race, and at every election, have
demonstrated this fact, by meeting
us at the polls with an unbroken
front, voting directly in opposition
to the white race and it's interests
The White Mans Party makes no
new issues, it is merely accepting
those that are forced upon it, and
T those that have existed in reality
tor the last six years, although the
party has been called by differ.
ent name. We, therefore, have nc
fears for the predictions of the Tel.
egram, that many will be at first
attl acted, and then desert, when
they find out, what they of necessi'
ty know now, that 1t is intended Gas
an array of race against race"
But, says the Telegram: ''the
Democratic party or whatever name
. the opponents to. Republication
may assume, can no more do with
out the colored vote than capital
can exist without labor, or labor
succeed without capital"
| Such has not been the history Of
the past. The Democratic party,
succeeded in. 1868, in electing their
Presidential Electors, by largo
majority and we were told by the
Republicans that it was a fraud be-
cause the negro element refused to
vote the Democratic ticket through.
