ver. II il certainly evident that tho Dem
ocracv cannot carry this State under theil
nre,ent organizations and with their pres
ent num Ell. Tits ,v.ay plain enough il
The last campaign, and it is also pl"ir
euoue,, that something desperate must o<
done il they e1pectto be successful in tn
coming contest Whist TO do and how &c
do it? The attempt must be made ''
drive the colored voters into the formation
Of a Black Mans party BY organizing q
nartv that Acknowledges tho fitness OF the
xb;te man alone 10 hold Office. This is
m.ate,y what they want, and their howl
.ahout negroes controlling the State here's
.r.r and IT. dire consequence, is the meres'
..bosh.-done to scare old women and
children and horriffy their Bourbon friends
~ the North. Now, it is we'll known that
thane are from eight to ten thousand white
voters in the Republican party Of this
state, and these votes TIE Democracy
6oyHet,. BECAUSE with. them there is a fair
chance Of success. To get them, driven
but of the Republican ranks is the game,
how playing by the shrewd Democratic
leaders, and once out, they must, perforce,
be Democrats OF passive spectators Of the
political contest now rapidly approaching;
Either way would suit the opposition and
either WY would be a source Of great joy
10 them. But it is quite IS evident that
the game is fully understood and the col;
vred Republicans have the, Intelligence to
Gee and understand it; consequently, they
will fight the harder to maintain harmony
In the party and a stronger reliance upon
the good faith and sound judgement Of
their white co-laborers. We hope the
game playing by the Democracy will be
fully exposed by every Republican paper
In Louisiana and that every Republican
orator will not fail to denounce the trick
from every stand and stump in the
State"
What the country Democracy think
Of the State Democratic Central Com
mittees' call for q party Convention
In New Orleans on the 9th proximo,
Is gathered from the ~utterances of the
Shreveport Times and other interior
journals. The Times says of the call :
I'VE emphaticaAy and promptly re-
pa1iate the action Of the committee and
appeal to our constituencies, embracing
the white people of o majority of the
parishes of North Louisiana, to repu-
date ito appoint no delegates to tho
Convention called by it to assemble in
NewO Orleans"
It then continues its reasons fol-. it's
position by the bold assertion: 'that
the leaders of the New Orleans Demo-
cracy are little less corrupt than the |
radicals officials !; that between the two
it is simply a contest for the spoils of
Office; that the Democrats have an eye
single to tho possession OF the New
Orleans Offices and are ready to sell
their cause and the whole State for
them at any time For these and
other eason it calls upon its COL
leagues in all the country ranishes to
the New Orleans coll, repu-
diate Democracy and organize a
,chM Convention for the election of
State Treasurer and candidatesto Con-
gress at Alexandria in Rapides parish,
on the first of September 1aest. After
this pronunciamento it is not surpris-
Ing that the Shreveport Times is now
called by its party leaders an4enemy, J
used by Republicans to effect (
the dismemberment Of the "grand old !
