Drift of Radlcalisr1.

We wish it borne in mind, this time,
at least, that the Radicals Of Natchi-
toches parish have drawn, and that
too with no kind hand, the COLOR
LINE. The burden of the speeches
made upon Saturday last by Blunt,
Lewis, Raby, to say nothing OF the
white Ciceroes, ~ Breda, Tunnard
and Van Dazen, were Of the clash
and slavery"
The appeal to the passions of the
ignorant negro was indu'sed in to an
extent bordering on frenzy, and if
persisted in can only lead to unhap-
py results. Lewis, born and educa.
ted (!) in the village Of Sandwich,
the northern terminus Of the ante bel.
lum under. ground railway, and a veri-
table negro carpet-Lagger was particn.
larly "stir,ied up" on the point "f the
wrongs of his race. He appealed to
them by the memory Of FLASHED
backs" in the dim past, by the horrors
of slavery in the future should the
Democrats succeed, to stand by the
Republican party. TO fight tho white
Leagues, and die for their principles,
whatever they may he. Raby and
Blunt's effasions were of the same
order, and we submit, Thus early in
the day, that the radical negro lead.
ers of Natclitoches were the first to
draw the color line in the campaign
of 1876, as they have been in all no.
litical campaigns. Sothat there will
be no mistake in knowing how the
color lipe contest in Natchitoches par
isl' had u beginning, and 'cho began 1t.
Far be it from US to dictate tn the Rad
icals line Of policy, that we are as.
sured would be impossible, but we
beg, in all candor to say, that this is
not u contest of our seeking, which,
however, since they are 30 bent upon
it, We will accept.
Fair warning is fair play, and t.
that end We now say, that If the
thing your radical leaders have inau'
gurated 10 our midst should grow to-
hot in course of time to be borne, il
will be no fault of ours at such 8
moment We beg all those who now
embrace the cause of the Radica

Business, we may say, has en-
tirely suspended, and it is truly
distressing to see the destruction
Of cloth, in pants, made by the
long rests of the merchants and
their clerks. The arrival of a
stranger with Is cents cash, would,
We fear, produce a serious riot
among the hotel proprietors.
Speaking of hotels, reminds us
that we have now two first-class
houses, and kept in fine style, de.
voted to the entertainment Of the
public.
