THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

ana, as illustrated by this, their l,test public
exhibition.
II was claimed Ivy Packard, the President d
t at SCALED convention. that Il embraced al
the intelligence and virtue of the plrty in
Louisiana; that it was most emphatically and
truly representative body of the class OF
men whose political course it undertook to
shape. We religious'y believe that Packard
told the truth, and the averment coming from
such Q source, is not without d certain kind OF
grim humOr. The rowdies who got drunk
drew pistols against each other, threw chairs
and ether furniture belonging to the State
at each others heads, and made the assemblage
to which they belonged look more like a
meeting Of jabbering monkeys and drunken
maniaos than 3 congregat on of rational
human beings, are indeed fair samples of the
men who make laws for the civilized Cauca-
slams who have the misfortune to live in
Louisiana Their venality cropped out just

bought his nomination, and broadly hints
that he should and can be defeated at the
polls
We do not suppose that the editor of the
Times is verdant enough to assume that his
readers will take it for granted that all the
bribery was on Dusuclets side, and tn It the
Kellogg Clnton-Morey combination looked
on with virtuous and patriotic indignation
whilst their sapping and mining operations
were being set at naught by the potent appli-
anoes Of greenbacks and "rot-gut.' Either
Dubuclet spent more money, or invested it bet

as likely as not the delegates who shouted

In few weeks another convention will meet
at Baton Rouge for the purpose of uniting into
one compact body, all those who wish we'll te
Louisiana, and Of .esising the best means to
wrest the control Of the State Government
from the hands of the ignorant savag and
shameless rascals who have brought our State

just As the black-and-tan horde who detiled
the old st. Louis Hotel with their drunken
capers were fair specimen Of tie party they
represented, SO will the disnifed assembl sse
which is to meet in Baton r ,uge, be an aeon
rate picture Of the intelligence, the property,
and the responsibility of Louisiana.
Knowing that every interest entitled to be
heard will be given fair chance, and that
the reOomms end .tion, Of the Convention Will
only be made after full dsliber.tion and ma
ture reelection, by their decision all conserva-
tive citizens, by whatever name they prefer to
call them Selves will Gu eerfully abide, sinking
all minor differences in order TO achieve the
one grand result, paramount to any aud every
other political questlon-the rede upton Of
from the ignom NOUS thrald I'M Of
ignorant negroes and thievish white men.
