IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.

AN ONAON AAAL0 IN ~ 4b0NA AAAs
Cheering news comes to us from ever,
quarter Of the State. The people everywhere
fully realize the importance of the impending
political issue, and are anxious to do whateve
is best to insure success. True minor differ
ences may exist as to the exact line of polio,
to be followed, but these will readily yieli
when the hour for action arrives
Not the least significant indication of the
temper of the people, and their deep concern
in the great cause of the redemption of the
State, is their apparent Indifference as to can
setting forward their claims. The question
now is too momentous, and the interests al
stake too large to be jeopardized by any dis
sentions over the personal or political merits
Of mere individuals.
If there ever was time for people to be
united and to act with perfect harmony,
it is the present Arrayed against them is a
bold, INSCRIPTIONS and well organized foe
bent on retaining possession Of the Govern
ment Of the State. Regardless of the rights
Of Southern white people, bold and open in
their defiance Of law, of justice and of every
principle Of honor, they will stop at nothing
short of the accomplishment of their nefari-
GUS purposes.
Already Louisiana is impoverished, her
industries paralyzed, her commerce custailed,
her credit destroyed, and her people bank
rupt. This train of evils has followed in the
wake of negro Republican rule and the
administration Of the Government by cor
rupt and ignorant creatures, whom ''twere
base tlattery to call them villains and yet
their demand is still for more plumber, more
outrage, more license and more power. Their
they seek new lease of the domain of the
State, that they may leave it at last barren
and desolated waste.
To avert SO dire a calamity and to rescue
from ultimate ruin ell that a brave people
hold dear and cherish with the deepest affec-
ton, our forces must not be divided, our at
tack must be concentrated, and our objective
point must be unanimously agreed upon and
explicitly demonstrated.
The justice of our cause, the bravery of our
people, and the determination to rid ourselves
Of the incubus that has weighed upon us so
heavily, are sufficient to g i've us victory over
4 horde Of debased white men and semi-bar-
Darous negroes.
Let us then again adjure the white people
If Louisiana, in the name of their love for
heir State, their yearning for good govern
nent, and their hope of future prosperity, to
'ome together one man in the coming cam
'aign, and labor with the single object in
Jew of retaining their country from the
possession Of the vandals and highway rob-
'ers who have long since justly earned the
ppellation of hostes hunnni.
This good work once achieved and the des-
my of Louisiana will be established Once
aore will peace, prosperity and happiness
eign among the people. Once more can we
eel that We breathe the atmosphere of coun-
ry purified by the expulsion of the foul and
elements that generated corruption
nd misery in every quarter. Again will vir-
ne and intelligence rule the land. Oppressive
Tvs and burdensome taxation will give place
, wise legislation, and judicious and equi-
able administration of the Government
Capital will seek investment here COM
lerce, manufactures and trade will flourish, |
thermal improvements will be fostered, and,
! fine, the lost glories of the State will be re-
overed, and a new impetus will be given to Z
lie rapid development of all the great re- r
,urces of glorious Louisiana This is but
int picture Of the happy future in store for :
II people if they but only prove true to
lemselves and Danish from their midst the
I'll spirit Discord, that breathes death on
that is wholesome and good that snaps
under the golden chords of affection; that
wells in the battle field and loves to hail from
ar the coming of the strife. Remember that =
e hand of concord builds up the humblest
'wer, whilst the highest crumbles into dust
the touch of discord. Our salvation is in
II own hands, let us be wise and successful
