lot lib say TO these crazy people III Louisiana
that, should this plan Of peaceful settlement
be rejected, which gives tho Democrats con-
troll Of tho Legislature. which is Of necessity
tho real governing power Of tho State antl
merely permits KELLoaa to servo AZ de ,fs1cto
Governor until tho next election, there will
not bc "patriot of the North Z" Of any po-
litical party who will !" ar1n himself or con-
vert himself into n soldier, or tnko the lcast
paina or trouble to defend tho itlotio crea-
tures in Louisiana or elsewhere who want to
keep up tho dcplorablo md sickening contro-
versy in that State. We my to these reckless
demngogues In Louisiana TINT tho best,
nblost, and most sincere friends they hnre
Ind III their rcal trouble aro tho conservative
Republicans, who have stood by them firmly
md rcsolutcly i'll insisting TINT tho
election frauds Of 1879 md of 1874
shall be ren,cdicd. The intenperanco
mud fauaticsm of these Now Orleans zeaIots
hive stood III tho why Of any fair settlement
heretofore, and, II tho same intenperance
and fanaticsm ahall now defeat this amicablo,
md under NIL the circumstances Of doubt and
fraud nost equitable, adjustment Of the wholo
Al1se4ispAe coAsto'els3t tl4tlI tAo NbItA Will bo
again q unit in demanding that peace bo
maintained ut whatevor cost and at all
hazards. Tho people Of the North arc a
rcading md thinking people. They insist on
fnir elections. They denounce fraud and
will not countenanco it, and, he'd tho Demo-
cratic party in Louisiana in 1872 hal clean
hands aud unpolluted ballot-bo1es, they would
tnr.a hnot, otno.1 hsr h. 1,-1n
people. But when the question Of tho cleo
ton Of 1872 turns On tho point rs to which
party Ind resorted to tho grosser frauds,
which had lied, cheated, forged, and fabri-
Gated tho most, tho Northern sentiment rn-
volted against nny recognition Of other class
Of criminal demagogues. 10 them it WIS an
eyen thing between WAnMoru aud KELLooo,
DunEL1 anl MoESERY.
Tho Dul!etin may rest assured that the
Northern people will take caro- Of "thcir
country, their threatened liberties, and the
palpablo encroachmenta and plnin Intentions
of their enemies" and at tie same timo keep
the peace in Louisiana,
Tho resolutions OF tho fanatical lenders at
the Saturday night meeting disclosed that tho
purpose was net to restore peace, but to keep
tho angry controversy open NJ political cap-
ital for the elections of next yenr. After re-
citing what they hGve endured, they add:
ave are ndmouisled by The graves of our
fathers, and by tho memories Of their suffer-
ing in tie cnuso Of liberty (rebellion aud at~
tcmpts to destroy the Union). That IL is our
duty to suffer- in Tie sumo ho|y cause." This is
the wall of the self-mado martyr. Tho coun-
try has heard TINT kind of stuff before.
1t is, under tho circumstances, dis
gusting, nauseating twadllo. It is
tho cry Of tile sick man who
refuses to 10 cured, and who prefers to ex-
hibit his wounds aud sores to laying them
healed. It is stalo logic in these days of
practical sonse. The man who rcfugcs food
that lie mny cry out that ho is starving, fails
to elicit any sympathy save for bis stupidity.
These Louisiana mountebnnka who proclaim
their duty to be to suffer, will, at tho North,
evoke more contempt for their knavcry than
sympathy for their sef-imposed suffering.
We have fifth, however, in tho calmer
judgment Of the conservative people, whose
suffering trado and commerce demand poacs
and order. We hayo faith that these people
will set aside the lunatic vaporings Of those
cheap Johns, and will sustain this settlement,
and thus ro.cstablish civil government, peace,
and order in tho now unhappy State Of
