BATON ROUGE CONVENTION.

Avoid misconstyuction and loss Of influence
and sympathy at home and abroad, by using
plain Mnqunqe and acting in the canvass up to IT.
The Radio Il press of the North are already
busy charging US with waging war against
the negroes.
The charges are false but will do us untold
harm, if we give the semblance of an excuse
for them. As understand it, the effort to
unite the whites in this campaign is simply an
effort to rescue the State from its present
desperate strait and does not look to any
subtraction from or adridgement Of the colored
man 8 acquired rights, directly or indirectly.
Any attempt in that direction would meet
the scorn Of the whites in this as in all the
States throughout The Union. We would not,
if we could, and could not if we would, move
an inch in that direction, because the General
Government would ssinstanter" trample us out
of existence.
ANY honest man, Northern or Southern, oc-
cupying the executive chair OF tie Union,
would throttle such a movement IN Its IN
fancy. and condemn is authors to just intamy
if not to chains.
Some brave Caesar may say, "Who is
afraid" As Nathan said to David, "Thou
art the man." and belong to YOUR egiment,
and so do all sensible men in Louisiana.
We cannot whip Uncle Sam; we tried it
with better backing than all the politicians
and voters, white and black, in Louisiana
can give us, and knocked off Without doing 1t,
and We don't mean to be dragooned into any
silly threats by anybody.
We oppose the negro only because he is the
party that gives the Radicals in this State any
bower to harm us. He has by his vote in the
past helped to rob and beggar US. We want
to change this state Of things; we want te
give him ana ourselves better Government t.
live under.
We make small calculations upon his aid
because we know no wy Of Judging OF thu
future but by the past We shall hail will
Joy, as a good omen for the future, every col
ored vote cast for our candidates.
Unless we produce for him AS well as TO
ourselves, better government than that W
live under we should forfeit his confidence
and the res~ect of the civilized world. LIE
the Convention be explicit on this point.
Our case has gained great sympathy IN tn
North from all parties; it can all De lost ~ j,
dan by any such folly as assuming an attitud
of hostility to the colored vote.
No such folly can find codntenance anon

Editor N. O. Bulletin /:

Editor n. o. Bulletin:
Being Of an inquiring turn of mind; desir-
GUS of obtaining information from all sources;
I would, through your columns, ask few
questions, which hope you. or some OF your
well informed correspondents, will answer:
Did Mr.. Turnbull use his influence In the
Kellogg Legislature to have the free market
bill passed.
If so, why? And was it not passed after the
markets had been leased?
r. not presumed that at least nineteen
twentieths of Mr.. Turnbulps constituents,
and indeed people of all classes, white and
black, are in favor Of free markets, as great
cOnvenlences!
Is it not Mr.. Turnbull's duty as public
servant to exercise the authority delegated to
HIM, in the interests of the citizen!
Why has Mr.. Turnbull exhibited such ex-
traordinary and unwonted zeal in this matter!
Has Mr. Turnbull, since his election on any
occasion exhibited any zeal whatever towards
ameliorating the condition Of the people,
whose servant he is supposed to be?
Is it not universally understood that the
sanitary preamble to this bill is one OF the
thinnest pretexts; of piece, and corresponding
with, nearly every bill passed to Cypress the
people for the last five years? Was not Mr.
| t. elected as Democrat, pledged to political
hostility to the Radical party, and to make
every effort to do way with monopOlles, TO
reduce taxation and to ameliorate the condi-
ton of the people who elected him?
Has Mr.. Turnbull, on any occasion, made
any effort to accomplish the end of his cleo
ton? If so, when, where, and under what
circumstances.
Had not the City Council power and au.
thority to control and regulate the markets,
without appealing to the Legislal ure to enact
a law for the purpose? Is not this law one
Of those obnoxious interterences with loca
self-goyernment, the great bar to betterine
the condition of the people of New Orleans
How is it that Hawkins issued an injunction
against Mr.. Turnbull to stay his proceedings
against free markets? Had he legal jurisdlc
ton over the case? Or can the opinion on {
point of law of the Attorney General set AIDE
a jud cial decree? Or can any Judicial de
cision be set aside and ov-rridden by the die
tum OF the At orney General?
How is it that the Butchers Association
since the free markets were closed, C IN ahor'
to sell meat cheaper, as they advertise VIVA
: enables them to do so? The relation OF caus
| and effect fails to explain the mystery. hop
some one will rise aud eS )laln. INQUIRER
