Men Of Louisiana, choose ye this day in
this supreme hour of your fate, which
policy you will hereafter pursue. On the
one side there is lasting solution Of this
vexed race ques ion. On the other nothing
bot postponement at most, with constant
and destruc i've agitation and strife. On

H.ct and bloodshed, with still further Ct
preston of all business, and the decline of
all values. Under one policy Louisiana ill
sink down into comatose State OF chronic
disorder and anarchy. Under the other,

liberal minded statesmen who stands op.

ashes of despair, relearn ITO keep step to
the music Of the Uuion," and set her face
forward in the line OF American destiny.
