The quotations from his remarks and
others are made solely to show that such

10 true, and so- terrible the work Of In
6nidation, that the Democratic party
thought it wise to put the story Of the
wronged and disfranchised into its legis-
lative history:

and Infatuated clamer, shouting, "Hurrah

These quotations might be extended;
but enough is reproduced to establish the
truth that few hundred white men hnve
terrorized over, not negroes only, but
prominent Democrats" SO as to compel
the party to abandon elections and dis
franchise three thousand white American
citizens absolutely by fear, and that in .
great city, under the government of
Democratic Mayor and . Democratic Gov
ernor. And if their present leaders and
newspaper editors are not quite entirely
satisfied their party was put in such .
state of fear and terror in 1867, and
that bulidozers re-enacted the same ter
Tible scenes in Ouaehita, Feliciana, and
other parishes in this State in 1876, let
them call the worthy Ex-Governor Of
1856 40 q witness, and he will surely be
able to state how comparatively few
armed ':ruffians" bulldozed five thousand
Democrats in this city in 1867 under
the cry Of "Hurrah for Sam and REFORM"
and, perhaps, state how it ,oos done 1t
this election for Tilden and reform!

A TRUE DEMOCRACY.

In former times history makes it evi.
dent there were two distinct and oppo-
site doctrines in the Democratic party.
The one, represented by Thomas a. BEN
ton, was almost identical with that of the
Republican party to-day. The other,
headed by j. c. Calhoun, who had in,
deed obtruded notification and secession
upon the party as Democratic doctrine.
The politics Of the past are replete with
the consequences of conflict between
these two statesmen, with their antagon-
istic and irreconcilable conflict of doctrine
between the national and confederate
principles. represented by these chiefs
respectively. In no respect did this con-
trast and conflict of principle manifest
itself more than in the advocacy of the
Electoral Colleges Of States by Mr.. Cal
houn and his party, and the defense of
popular suffrage as made by Mr.. Benton
during bis whole term of public service.
It is very proper to show that the Re-
publican party at present stands exactly
where the popular branch of the Demo
cratic party did before the war of seces-
sion. Thomas II. Benton laid down the
principle for which o. P. Morton con-
tends to-day, that the election of Presi-
dent by the present mode
Il unjust to the people; it g dangerous: it
presents the greatest temptation for cor.
ruption that can possibly be presented.
Such are his own words. We will com.
,asre u.ssea; no. those which Thomas II.

Perhaps to the people Of Ohio or Mas
sachusetts this fact may be very remarka-
BILE. But when the Democratic newspa.
pers and the leaders Of the Democratic
party in New Orleans repeat this state
ment and express their disbelief either in
its truth or Of the possibility of such oc-
currence, large number of the very best
citizens of the city must realize the iusin-
cerity-not to use harsher term-of DO
litical newspapers and political leaders.
In this city few hundred well-organ-
lied men not only can, but did in 1856,
terrorize over many fold their number,
and rendered the period just preceding
and on days of election, historical for
deeds Of blood, murder, intimidation
Democrats being not only the victims but
the witnesses of the painful truth of the
above quotation.
The Democratic party in 1854, 1856 and
1857, in New Orleans, were not only
driven from the polls, but they openly
and publicly declared that their party
were, by the thousands, disfranchised by
''rufians" (bulldozers) who infested this
city. In the language Of one of its lead
ing orators, "driven like sheep" from the
polls.
These ''ruf1iane, !" numbering about 300,
were called "Red Warriors" who, acting
in concert with, if not under the direc-
ton Of, the Know-Nothing party, SO COM
pletely put the members Of the Democra-
tic party Of this city in fear and terror at
the election for mayor in 1857, that the
election by that party was virtually aban-
doned.
