A FRIGHTENED MAN.

JUNE ~, 1876.
Editor Democrat---If my writing Is In
distinct this morning you must excuse
it, on the ground Of my being very
badly scared. For several days past
have been greatly disturbed In mind,
and my nerves have been quite un-
strung by the knowledge that we had
all been again put under the command
OF the bold Piegan murderer and ban
ditti smasher, Phil. Sheridan. Quiet
sleep has deserted my eyes. and my
Imagination has been filled with horrid
visions Of pale, bloody bandits, skewer-
ed on bayonets, and OF others hanging
promiscuous from lamp posts ana pal
comics, and with the sight OF the mighty
Phil, eating three or four bandits ior
sabre for q knife and a bayonet for q
fork. and with gunpowder as condi-
ment. l had in measure recovered
from the first shock, when here this
morning am all thrown into SYM
pathetic heat by the Republicans ar
ticle upon Lieut.. Col. Brooke, and the
cold pfooded congratulations 1t extends
to our neighbors in Baton Rouge and
the Felicianas. am somewhat assured,
however, by the Republicans assertion
that sCol. Brooks is a soldier, and knows
that his highest duty is to preserve
peace" fear, however, that the Re
publican is only lying again. and that
Col. Brooke has been sent up there only
to give the Webers, Lanes and such
gentry the assurance that they may &c
II d little blind. so far as he Is con-
cerned. in raising Cain in their section.
hone however. that Col. Brooke doc

4 FINE SPECTACLE.

We wish that every man In the coun-
try could realize the spectacle 70 be
aecn to-day In the Mechanics Institute
il this city. There Is assembled there
: gang OF bummers, negroes and rascals,
once seekers and henchmen OF rascally
rings and rascally politicians. The pur-
nose Of this disreputable assembly Is to
nominate O candidate for Governor
of Louisiana, who Is to be elected by
Federal bayonets and Returning Boards.
The aspirants for this nomination are
al pretty we'll known In this State.
They are all men who have risen into
snotoriety and become influential. in our
politics through processes which, in a
well governed country, would have con-
signed them to the State Prison.
rs there any man in the Penitentiary
ri Baton Rouge who has stolen so many
thousands OF dollars and robbed SO
many thousands Of people as II. G.
Warmoth? Was there ever a man upon
the bench who so prostituted his high
of1ce. and in violation Of his honor and
his oath misinterpreted the laws for in
famous party purposes, as Jno. I. Lude-
ling? Was there ever q man hung Tor
rroeser outrages upon the liberties Of
the people, or sentenced to the State
prison for more fragrant perjuries than
those perpetrated by s. B. Packard
Did ever public man incur the con-
fAmpt and hatred Of all honest men by
rrosser, meaner and more insolent
violations OF his oath and OF the law
than Tom Anderson?
And vet these are the luminaries Of
Radicalism around which the assembly

LETTER FROM MINDEN.
rhe Campaign In the Country.

M1spEN, La, June %, 1876
Editor Dem0cyat--W When we read the
Of the suspension of the
DEMOCRAT, there was general express
sion of sorrow and regret throughout
this community; and we were delighted,
indeed, when we heard OF its early re-
sumption. Your paper supplies the
need that has long been felt OF an hon.
est. outspoken, n-purchasable Dem
ocratic journal In New Orleans. We
have been surfeited with neutral, inde-
pendent papers papers that are neither
fish. flesh nor fowl" We now sim
cerely hope your paper 10 so firmly es-
tablished that 1t will be enabled to go
heartily into the campaign, dealing
telling blows against all rings and cor
ruption wherever found, without being
hampered by financial pressure.
/ notice correspondents from various
parts Of the State are putting forward
their favorftes for the nomination by
the Democratic Conservative party at
Baton Rouge. think speak the sen.
timepts OF the people OF Webster, and
indeed OF North Louisiana, when | say
we advocate the claims OF no particular
man. We want the strongest man who
can be found. The people OF North
Louisiana will vote solidly for any man
who may be nominated, and 1 believe
he who can command the largest vote
who can arouse the highest pitch OF en-.
thusiasm who can rally 10 his standard
ali classes in New Orleans. should be
+ our standard-bearer. 1t is now evident
that the National campaign Is to be
fought on the old issues, sectional hate.
Southern outrages, the bloody shirt,
and that, it Seems to me, does away
with the last chance OF a third party Ia
| this State, We are to have the old fight
again. honesty against raseality, reform
aaainst corruption, and the indications
are that We will have II hotly-contested
canvass, and we want man TO lead us
who will not blench from the helm
when the wind blows hardest.
Should the convention decide to give
the nomination to North Louisiana. nc
one Is more worthy Of it than our own
talented Senator. A. j.. George, who In
capacity, unflinching integrity and un.
swerving patriotism is second to none
| in the State; and no one is more highly
esteemed in this portion OF the country
But. as I said before, 1 believe the man
should come from New Orleans. One
who can unite in his support oil classes
OF conservative voters OF the city. Anc
while / believe there are number @
gentlemen in New Orleans who woulo
give entire satisfaction, and any one O
whom would be glad to support, on
of the opinion, from my reading ant
observation, that the strongest name
that can be presented to the people fo1
their suffrages Is that OF l.. A. Wiltz
With Wilt for Governor and some goot
man from North Louisiana for Lieuten
ant Governor, we would achieve bril-
liant victory in the fall, and bring peace
and quietude to our unhappy State.
