pfoOeedings wefe stopped, and If there -
punishnent in the law, these regulators
should have the full benefit Of its penalties.
We think il very rough On the wives who
have colorsd husbands low down enough to
turn Democrats. We think the churches
and benevolent societies are right 10 ex-
pelling such fellows before their altar orna-
ments and lodge jewels mysteriously dissp-
pear. We think, further, that tho Cata-
houla colored people are making IN exact
copy Of the conduct of their white Demo
cratic iellov-oitizens toward white Repub-
licaDs; and that ON the whole these retalia-
tions in kind are likely to open the eyes Of
the purblind Democracy to the folly Of
their past course. Az for the law in such
cases, our outraged Democratic friend will
find it - impotsnt for Democrats as for
Republicans.
From Ill parts Of North Lsuisisna, and
from the Florida parishes to lees degree,

thorities here. Absolute fairness ON the
part of the Republican registration authori-

among Republicans; apathy and indiffer-
ence in the Democratic ranks. That

for q man with liberal and noble sentiments
to bo Q Democrat, but our club, and its
chiva1rous president, have gone into this
campaign with the avOWed purpose of carry
ing ort our principles in Q gentlemsnly and
dignified manner, and with Q liberality to-
ward 10thers who merely differ Wisi us in
opinion, not to be excelled, if it is even
equaled, by that of any other organiza-
tion. The high tone and position
the REPUBLICAN has constantly as
sumed in its editorials While discussing
ures, is fully appreciated by our party, and
we are only panied that We have not more
Of such papers with rs. We have some ex-
ceilent Democratic papers, none better,
but We have others which do rs more harm
by their coarse, vulgar tone and vitupera-
ton than they do 10 good. Some of your
wavering Republicans, whom We could
have secured for our ticket have been
criven from US by such papers, and many
noble and independent Democratic will
leave ne if such miserable counsels still
continue. No voter ever changed from one
party to another which heaped oppr0brium
and epithets upon Lion and his associates.
The Rousseau Guards intend to carry on
their canvass in different epirit, and We
hope other parties will do the same.
