Louisians's white men must work to effec
the overthrow in 1876 of the Radical dynas
ty. There must not be Radical Republican
President installed on the 4th March, 1877
The welfare of the Republic demands 8
change of dynasty. The welfare Of Louisiana
demands that change still more imperatively.
If Grant should be re-nominated, reelected
and re-installed, the infection would be no
more than a nuisance, q burden, an incubus
and a damage to the Northern States, but to
Louisiana it would be nothing less than a
reduDlicated curse. Grant hates and has
long hated Louisiana, and on the other hand
Louisiana loathes despises and detests Grant
beyond description. The hate, the con-
tempt, the loathing and the disgust of our
titled savage can be expressed in no formula
of words. Louis;anians would not hate
Grants successor to the same degree, but
they do not want any one in his chair who
had any regard for him, or who might be
likely to follow in his footsteps, or to initiate
his usurpations, or to copy his violations of
the fundamental law. Louisianians want a
change of dynasty; they want a change of
governing ideas. They want retrenchment
They want a reduced tariff. They want a
cessation of Government intermeddling
with the currency. They want the |
rights of States protected. They want home

their weight, their help, their voice. and their
influence in opposition to the continuance of
the Radical sway. They want all past bicker-
ings to be forgotten in pursuit of this grand
paramount purpose. They want to stand on

but in such way as to exclude none who
wish to join them in the campaign against
Radio al villainy. They want the restoration
Of Jeffersonian purity, simplicity, integrity
and economy. They want to join their whole
strength with the patriotic D Democrats Of the

glorious victory, and to share in its most
glorious and beneficial fruits ,
