politics. We cannot meet Radicalism
on tho halfway ground. We cannot
parley with usurpers and thieves. We
cannot abandon principle. Nay. more
there Ia no way OF successfully meeting
Radicalsm except that Of strictly ad-
herring to principle and opposing the
common enemy actively and unoeas-
ingly.
And this Is all that the "rabid" last
ditohers have done. They have stood
by principle. they have grounded their
faith in the Constitution and the laws
they have insisted that an honest man
cannot serve two masters. that between
the rights Of the people and tho unbri-
died. fiagitious lawlessness of Radical
usurpation there can be no neutral
ground. that he who is not for the poo
pie. openly. actively. INCREASINGLY. ia an
ally of KadicaIism. and time and re-
suits have indicated tho truth Of their
position. Look Mt their conduct on the
lath Of September. 1874. when in full
possession Of everything. Not hair Of
tho head Of any Radical or oolored man
was touched the rights Of all olpsses
aud colors were respected. and there
was no prescription. no wrong to any
one.
We say the record of these gentlemen
In u proud one and IL i'll becomes Jour
nails that claim TO DO Conservative to be
attempting thus to injure them in the
4
become them to be fomepting dissen-
sions and attempting u third party
among the people Of this State. We
say. lot the past be forgotten, and lot all
be united in one supreme effort for the
redemption of our State. Tue PEOPLE
ARE UNITED. and In vain will the trick
sters and malcontents seek to divide
them.
Those who want u third party either
have personal schemes to promote or
they are duped by designing men. or
they arc fearfully ignorant Of the mo-
mentous issues that are to be settled by
tho election this year.
We say. let us be united. We urge
our business men to attend the ward |
and the election for delegates.
II they will do SO. all will result well
II they fail in this patriotic duty and
disaster results. let them hold their
peace forever: and palsied be the arm
that shall fling Mt the brave and the
true who have stood firmly by the rights
IF the State and tho liberties of the
people. and who still stand untlinching-

One Of the most recherche entertain

the young ladies OF st. Joseph Par

CONSTITUTIONAL right were tfampled In
the dust, and by bare majority Of the
Democratic Conservative Legislative
caucus, the adjustment was consumma-
ted.
McEnery, Mari. Wilt, Ellis.
Booth, Bruins, Ogden, and hosts of the
rdbid leaders, held up the constitutional
rights Of the people, argued. entreated,
resisted, struggled and labored to defeat
the deep laid scheme that had been
made by the snarer, but in vain. 1t was
consummated. Mutually the press and
people OF the Union turned from Lou
isiana in disgust. By compromise, by
conservatism, hated usurpation, which
was la drticulo morris. was made a
living entity. What has followed?
Not single reform measure worth
speaking of. The Returning Board and
election law are still on the statute
book. and not one single chain or fetter
by which usurping Radicalism binds
the liberties Of the people has been
broken. These truths we all know.
We do not speak of them to revive
buried animosities. We respect the pa
triotism and moral worth of the gentle
men whose views prevailed in the fusion
Of 1872 and in the Wheeler Compromise
Of 1875; but We do assert that, without
these political mistakes, our condition
would have been Infinitely better than
it is. We say, furthermore, that there
is no room for compromise in Louisiana
