but little difference in sentiment or opinion
respecting the Radical dynasty of usurpation
and corruption. In spite OF laborlous, ex-
pensive and insidious efforts made by Radical
leaders to win the favor and cooperation OF
respectable men, those who belonged to the
Wing or American party, or those who are
unwilling to be called Democrats, the solid
ebony of the Radical party is only family
streaked with white men who hold office, or
who speculate and plumber in "cahoot with
Office holders. Having the whole indivisible
negro VOTE they need but small recruit from
anti. Radical white men to insure victory
next year. They are willing to pay any price
in money or material aid for every vote OF a
white man, but there are so few who are base
enough to sell themselves to the enemies of
the State that we have little to fear from such
efforts.
II is so entirely obvious that to succeed in
shaking off the foul and destructive Radical
dynasty with which this State has been sorely
afflicted for many dismal years, the sufferers
from tyranny must be united in action that
there is no reason to fear the organization OF
a third party. There are men in anti-Radical
ranks who would not vote with Democrats If
they could have respectable opposition with
which they could unite, with any reasonable
hope of success, but they detest the Radical
party as thoroughly as do their Democratic
neighbors
For the sake of success and that concord
which is absolutely necessary to win it, no
disturbing issues should be introduced, nor
anything insisted on, respecting which there
can be serious difference Of opinion. The
sooner old subjects Of disputation are laid
aside and forgotten, the better will it be for
the opponents of the usurpation. 1t is to be
hoped that those gentlemen who are charged
with tbs duty of experimenting party matters
will be extremely cautious and forbearlng.
Public opinion is we'll settled as to the object
to be accomplished, and all the honest white
men in the State know very well that they
can not succeed without acting in concert
and hearty union.
campaign of eight weeks duration in Sep
TENDER and October of next year will be long
enough, and to prepare for it nothing more
is necessary than the nomination of the
worthiest and most capable men as our can
didates. White Louisianians need no admo-
nitions as to their duly, no arguments to
prove that the Radical usurpers are their
enemies, no stirring appeals to their patriot
ism. They will all vote right, if our nomina-
tons are wisely and fairly made, and they
will all try to get the more intelligent me-
groes to vote with them. There was never q
palmer or more simple single issue placed
before body of voters. 1t is the overthrow
of misrule and that only.
The duty is SO obvious, and the purpose so
distinctly understood that our white people
need no platform or formal addresses. They
are agreed as to the object, and they know
that unity of action is the only means of OBJ
tanning it. Lst US keep that object wholly
free from complications, and promote that
unity in every honorable way and at all times.
Let there be no countenance given to the
crotchets of extremists, and let all entange-
ments be rejected.
