Mr. C. F. adams, Jr.'s Plan of
.S07rufiOu,

Mr. c. F. adams, Jr.'s Plan of
!Sa1raffOn.
Mr. G. F. Adams Mr., writes to the
-Fa'jon in suggestion of GA Policy for
Louisiana" His plan is simply for the
Conservative Legislature to give SOL
umn notice to the world 'that they
are subjected by force to usurpation
every act of which Is null and void,
and shall be SO treated hereafter. -
This one solemn notice given, let the
Conservative Legislature hold up its
hands in submission and disperse the
rest may be safely left to the people
OF the whole country. Two years is
short time when at the expiration of
it relief is sure. During that brief
| time let no Conservative of Louisiana
go TO the polls or enter legislative
hall tile acOrse the oppression, the better.
| Let them simply submit"
Undoubtedly the worse the oppres-
| sion of Louisiana the better for the
| conservative cause elsewhere :. but
| there seems another side to this ques-
| ton besides the intensely selfish one
| above so coolly explained. Louisiana
| mas submitted for over two years, and
| the oppression, instead of being light
encd, has been intensified What will
be the condition two years hence of
| that proud and sensitive people, not
the least cause of whose agony is that
they are capable of feeling 'oppres-
sion's lightest finger as a mountain
weight ?" Complete submission, with
kellogg's hounds to lay on the taxes
and the United States army and navy
to assist in collecting them, and how
much will remain of Louisiana for
"the people of the whole country" to
concern themselves about
"lfow proud we can press to the funeral
array
OF him whom we Stunned in his sick
ness and sorrow:
And bailiffs may seize his last blanket
to-day
Whose pail shall be borne up by horoes
tomorrow
| With all due Difference to Mr.. Ad
ans, we submit that the question be-
fore the country is how to save Louisi-
lana from her oppressors to-day, and
how we may punish her destroyers to-
morrow. And it is practical ques.
tion, not mere speculative one. 1t is
lall very wise and handsome to write
scathing rebukes of Tweed and the
"Ring" in the NORTH american Regieao
but if Mr.. Tilden had contented him
lself with that sort of action Tweed
would probably have been Boss up to
: the present moment. How fine and
easy it is for Mr.. Adams, luxuriatine

cratic Massachusetts, to call out witt
