If its evil efforts, is an unthankfnI 7
task, and would have none of it in
,urs did We not think that society
demanded of US the duty. We have
"talked" some very solid wisdom to
our colored friends, and we are proud
to say that the v1ND1cAroR has many
of them, within the past two years.
We have assisted in exposing the ras-
cality of nearly every Radical lead
er in our midst; we have shown to
them the degraded private character
(and man with q bad private char
acter will be q worse public servant)
Of all those whom they have by their
votes foisted upon the taxpayers OF
the parish Of Natchitoch"s--"f their
robbery Of the people in eight per
cent taxes-of tho plundering Of the
school treasury by a Myers, with the
consent and assistance Of a Blunt the
negro apostle the monies wrung from
the poverty stricken farmer and plan
ter, to educate his children aud the
colored mans. And We are very much
pleased to say, that our words aud
| the fruits of our labors have convinc.
ed many, very many, Of the virtue OF
our intentions.
There are In our parish great
many sound, sterling Democratic ne
groes; they have become so for the
reason that it is the only patty of
honesty and responsibility in the
State; the only party that affords d
guarantee to. the colorcd man Of all
his rights under the lao, and the only
party that can elevate him in the po'
litical scale, educate his children t"
become useful law abiding and patr''
otto citizens. These Democratic COL
ored men have never regretted tor
, one moment their action in linking
fate with us they have, on the con-
trary, been more than proud of their
conduct, they can look any man it
the face and say, ~ am an honest
man and Democrat am a either
in the true sense Of the word; l snip
port none for Office but those who ar
interested in the country, and know
that those who were born and raise'
/, with me are the only people who ar
interested, are my friends in want ant
trouble, and intend to stand by then
to the last"
