Gov. John McEnery.

other pursuits to attain one sole object, an
tenaciously adheres to that through disaste
ord reject, some may call him fanatic Q
fool, but none can doubt his honesty of in
tentions.
Gov. John McEnery has for some time pas
occupied such a position. He mas BEEF
abused and maligned for giving mp his prac
tice as a lawyer, devoting all his energie
and abilities to the single purpose of repre-
senting as the elected Executive and Gov
ernor of this State the party and principles
of the majority of the voters Of this State
nefariously defrauded Of their rights by thu
illegal actions Of wicked judge and hi,
subservient tools.
How this battle has been waged, and how
bitter the contest between the Governor
who is in Office, and his party and the people
of this State, we need not relate Since that
hour when the bayonets OF United States
troops were thrust through the Constitution,
and horde Of ignorant blacks hoisted into
the Legislature, there has been one incessant
protest on the part of the people of this State
made through Gov. McEnery, and that same
contest now, at this hour, yet continues in
Washington and this city.
In freedoms batI e once begun
Belueathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though batiied oft, is ever won
We are prompted to these remarks from
noticing disposition with some who ere
while were valiant with tongue and pen in
the assault on Gov. Kellogg's measures, to
.'hush up" and cry out, 'Alls well that
ends WE'LL" pitching overheard from the
ship Of State McEnery and all like him, as
Jonahs, who are only fit to be swallowed
up. For what Gov. Kellogg has done or
may do, "may the Lord make us thankful
We can join in that blessing over the tax
table, but we no more believe that Gov. K,
the Republican party in this State, or
single man of them, would have done what
they have done, without the stress Of the
party upon them and the revolt of
honest men, North and West-than we be-
lieve black to be white. When the Devil
was sick, the Devil Monk would be- and
that is the matter at present. We are
asked to shout hosannah over Gov. KS
exertions, to be thankful that having strip
ped us to the last vestment, he and his |
did not pull off that, and leave us with the |
bare skin, and for this blessing we are to
abandon the man and his friends who have
,tubbornly # ught through the year, and by
heir exposures fixed public attention on the
wrongs Of Louisiana, and if they have not
gained the fight at least have made it a
lrawn battle Besides, who desires Gov.
(. to control the next election! Do
eople trust reformed drunkards in wine
ellars! Is Gov. X. on a pinch, expected to
cunt himself out and declare somebody else
lected, or to arrange the machinery of vot-
lg to give both sides an equal chance! We
ave sample of what we may expect in the
District bill just signed and
ublished, and with this before us we posi-
vely decline any Kellogg in the coming ar
lngements. If we cannot have what we ,
