THE CoLORED MANS OPPORTUNITY.

Even thus early in the campaign In
this State for next year two points are
very clearly developed, to-wit:
l. a determination on the part OF the
whites, driven to the last ditch by ex-
orbitant taxes and corrupt Radical
rule, to make supreme effort to re-
deem the State;
| ,. a want Of harmony and decided
distrust between the white and colored
elements Of the Republican party which
has eliminated in divisions In that
party calling for colored conventions,
clubs of Southern white Republicans,
and rings formed of carpet baggers.
The disastrous policy Of. the Republi-
can leaders for seven years has brought,
therefore, not only determined DEM
ocratic opposition, but has worked
dissatisfaction OF u serious character in
the ranks of their party.
The colOred men of Louisiana are
party as the result of their bad treat
nent by their white leaders. Such an
organization will meet with certain
defeat. But to the negro, perhaps,
defeat by himself is no worse than
defeat ut the hands of his white conf
n,niOi,s. ..
II tho colurcd people of this State
really desire it's prosperity and really
desire peace, there Is q way to
accomplish these ends by cooperating
heartily with the National democrats,
rs they did in 1868 and AS the colored
people of Mississippi did only n few
weeks ago. Let the coloresi people
abandon their corrupt white leaders
who have kept their noses to the grind
stone, abandon the idea that the whites
are not their friends, and come forward
with II hearty support of the National
Democracy, and their professions IA
good citizens will bic put into practice
and all will be benefited.
