And Has it Come to Thi.s
Lass night, when it became known that
some forty-ive of the Conservatives had. under
the influence Of the Washington dispatches,
slgnod the Wheeler compromise. the feeling
on the streets was very strong against such
action.
All tina. We have suffered and endured for
the sake Of preserving the honor and dignity
Of our State, by means of this act is thrown
away, and the proud record of our citizens
torn to tatters and thrown to the winds.
How and by what process of reasoning
members of a Conservative House could
find it within themselves to sacrifice those
principles for which they battled 80 long, and
it was thought successfully, for the Dead Sea
fruit offered, we are at loss to know.
Standing as firmly as ever we have stood by
the people and their rights we reiterate our
warnings and say that Louisiana can not now
nor will she ever be saved by treating with
fraud. Sink every sentiment of patriotism,
blot out every emotion of love and respect
for home and people, and in the garb of sack
cloth and ashes, let us penitently crawl to the
feet of our ruler and cry out eve have
sinned, forgive u.s. and, deaf to the proud
and patriotic calls of the daughters of our
State, let us kiss the hand of our King and
plead for pardon. For three years whole
people have said to the world that such |
man was usurper, but now we are asked to |
give the lie to our action and proclaim him |
the Govarnor.
