Committee of Seventy without re.

to have and we stand fair and
square with ths Committee of sew.

the middle is over and all will be
plain sailing. If they do not we
shall oppose the present call for the

gentleman are poor and want to

it to them upon proper security
or it will take stock, but the poo

money away.
If they arc unwilling to accept
some such proposition, and are de.
termined to have just what they
want, then let the Police Jury treat
them as they deserve and refuse to
have anything to do with them.
They can't force the Jury nor will
they try it. The beggar who says
he will only take a ten dollar gold
piece and won't have greenbacks,
would be treated with scorn and
contempt. That is just the attitude
of these gentlemen. Let them study
the wisdom Of the old saying:

against New Orleans, as the place
of meeting for the Democratic

only a confession OF weakness on
the part of The country parishes,
but the act does New Orleans a
great injustice. There are many

A CONVENTION OF REPRESENTA-
TlVES OF THE PEOPLE
ASKED FOR. o
MONROE, La, July q, 1874.

MONROE, La, July 81, 1874.
The action Of the Democratic
Central Committee, calling q con-
vention to assemble at New Orleans
on the 4th Monday in August next
has certainly been unfavorably re.
ccived 10y the people Of the country
parishes. Several papers published
at different points have repudiated
that action and called for a comven.
ton to be held out of New Orleans.
1t seems probable that dissension
will arise, unless steps are immedi.
ately taken to prevent it, which
may prove fatal TO the hopes of
those who desire to see the State
Of Louisiana redeemed. We think,
however, that all the differences
can lie reconciled,. and NIL those
who wish to ri'l the State Of the in
cubus of radical usurpation can he
united and their combined efforts
made irresistible if those who differ
only as to tho means by which to
attain that result will make some
mutual immatcrial concessions.
In our Judgment convention of
the people composed Of delegates
chosen by all persons in the State
who are opposed to carpet-bag gov
eminent should he assembled Mt
some place in the country, say b.
ton Rouge, on LIST of September
next. That convention should be
limited in it's numbers, it's members
carefully selected and to it should
lie RENTED the organization of the
people, and the adoption Of a poll
cy for the present campaign.
We believe that the action that
may be taken by convention no
selected and so held will Ike mani
mously endorsed by the white peo-
pie Of the State, and that unless
such convention is held, they
cannot be 50 united.
Satisfied that the views herein
announced are those entertained
by large majority Of the white
people Of Louisiana, we deem it our
duty to request the Democratic
Central Committee to withdraw
their call for u convention ut New
Orleans and suggest that they join
in a call for convention such as
We have herein indicated, aud it
this request Is complied Nth, we
request all papers throughout the
State which have published calls
for Il convention to join also in the
call which may be 50 made.
