| A CHANGE OF TACTICS.
Our comments upon the lame duck cir
culation of the White League press, in
companion with the diffusion of facts
through the Republican press, appears to
have impressed the Democratic me ma
gers. Perhaps it might have been better
to have left the Shreveport plan of OBJ
loquy and assassination in full force, that
the Southern people might see on what
principle of violence the campaign is con-
Quoted. But our hint has possibly been
confirmed by the re-array of States '.north
of Mason and Dixon's line," and SO We
see an entire and instantaneous change of
White League tactics. The organ of the
| Central Democratic Committee says
! The idea is peace at all hazards, and per-
feet, thorough, universal organization in
every neiehborho0d, for the purpose of pre-.
serving the peace. In organization there
is security for the rights of all, and perfect
assurance Of Immunity frem danger, because
vigilance will detect it, and concert of &C.
ton avert it, or control it.
Peace is preached; peace through perfect
organization in every neighborhood; peace
through that ''perfect assurance of immu-
nifty from danger" which means organiza-
ton, and more especially an organization
if armed, drilled and mounted, in its ad-
vance upon the polls. At the same time
that this exhortation to peace is uttered
in form so impressive, the manifesto of
the Democratic party teens with imputa-
tons upon the Republican party so
violent and so offensive as to teach it as
the duty of all people to rise and drive
the Republican party out of the State.
What do we read in that manifesto?
1t is we'll known that the Republican
party of Louisiana is q mere league, with
out political principles.
Installed in power by Presidential edict
and the army of our common country, un-
der the superintendence of the United
States marshal.
It is, in fact, Q taxing and filching ma
chine, manipulated and run by the Custom.
house, with military aid, and know to the
people of Louisiana by it's outrages against
law and constitutional government, BY it's
tvranaical Oppressions and its hideous cor
ruption.
s. B. Packard, the United States mar
shall himself, the most colossal figure of in
fanny that stands out in the revolving his
tory of Southern oppression and misrule,
steps forth ~ the candidate for the Cover
norship against you.
To this category Of charges the Repub-
lican party is not permitted to reply in
joint discussion before the people. This
manifesto is but one example of the cal
jimmy applied to the Republican party,
and the personal obloquy thrown upon
each of the candidates for any Office.
This policy is obviously intended for
use at the North. 1t is very ingenious,
but not at all original. The purpose is,
under pretense of order, to counsel party |
organization-under an affected love of |
peace is concealed the most malignant |
enmity toward political opponents. 1t |
