people themselves, who are always in advanc

Several Democratic clubs have already beer
formed in different wards in this city prepar
atory for the mighty campaign in 1876. Thil
is spontaneous utterancs of the people il
acts, not in words, ere any prompting voice il
heard from any parish or State Central Com
mittee. 1t signifies that the people are awake
to the momentous issues that involve theil
all, and that they are determined to prepare
betimes to grapple with the Radical monster
that has devoured their substance, insulted
their misfortunes, derided their manhood,
trampled upon their liberties and treated them
as if they we're aliens in their native land.
This spontaneous movement, not moment
too soon for the primary organization
of the party, should be received
as rebuke by the gentlemen, who, claiming
to be popular leaders, have yet taken no steps
to effect thorough organization of the party
for the State. Know ye not, o, ye sluggards!

dupes into secret "Union Leagues" and
binding them by the only oath these ignorant
creatures hold sacred, to follow blindly the
dictates of their leaders.
The Attakapas parishes are now swarming
with those midnight providers, telling lies to
their poor ignorant dupes that would shame
anything that ever bore the human form but
a carpet-bagger. Their footprints are every

meet and defeat those secret Vaccinations of
their enemies, because, forsooth, it would be
injurious to the commercial and planting
interests of the State, to commence
any political agitation so long before

Let the good work of organization go on
Let Democratic clubs be formed in every
yard in the city, and in every parish in the
tate, to the end that the people may be
rought together in close communion to take

ave been deprived by fraud and violence.
