PACKARD'S PROPOSITION,

Much interest is expressed in the
probable reply OF Gen. Nichols to Boss
Packard's proposition that they can
vass the State together. We have
heard no expression OF his purpose from
Gen. Nichols nor from any OF his per
sonal friends. We assume, however,
that Gen. Nichols will decline Mr..
Packard's proposition. We do not
we'll see how he can accept 1t. The
people whom Gen. Nichols represents
In this canvass do not regard Mr.. Pack
ard as an honorable political opponent.
The very existence Of the Radical party
is an insult to Louisiana. It has been
always led by dishonest and disreputa-
bic men; it's record in this State is a
record OF plunder, oppression and out
rage. Packard himself, be he honest
or dishonest. has more previously in
suited and dishonored our people
through his deputies, illegal arrests and
prosecutions than have the veriest
thieves, the drtiest raseals in his in
famous party.
Our people all feel this. Gen. Nichols
knows and feels IT.. We look upon
Packard not as an honorable political
opponent, but as the insoIent enemy
and dragoonader OF eur people. We do
not regard the combination he repre-
sents as legitimate political party,
presenting its principles and policies to
the voters of the State upon their
merits. but as band OF plunderers,
public enemies and meroiiess aliens,
who have organized against our
society, our interests and our liberties.
through the most Infamous means,
the ignorant and vicious elements Of
the population, and are seeking to So
cure the dominance OF those elements
through the illegal inferposition OF the
Federal Govern ment Indeed, we re-
gard that party as o power which "has
dwelt like a famine, or the plague, or
aught more fell among our homes"
Mr.. Packard Understands this; his
followers understand it, Ispd his invita-
ton, therefore, looks TO IN more like an
insult which Gen. Nichols sheuld treat
with contempt than courteous invita-
ton he should answer.
We wish tn be distinctly understood
that .this expression OF exiefon is our
own, that it has been inspired neither
by Gen Nichols, nor By any OF his per-
sonal friends, nor by any authority in
the party. We think the acceptance OF
Packard's invitation by Gen. Nicholls
would be recognition Of the honorable
character and eandidacy os~that in
dividual, and we are uaalteaably OPP.
posed to any such recognition.
La our opinion. Gen. Nichols, Mr..
Witt, and the other Democratic Con
servative candidates and canvassers
should make their appointments to suit
themselves, leaving Packard or any
other Radical who chooses to meet
them at those appointments to do so,
and take the castigation their careers
Of violence, pIunder and iBsolence In
this State have deserved. .~

The Most Unktndest Cut Of All.

A few nights ago Mr.. John Duffy, re-
siding at the corner OF Camp and Orange
streets, gave shelter to colored boy
about is years OF age, named Stamps.
r. appears that Stamps did not appre-
ciate the kindness, and last night. while
the family were asleep, he entered the
sleeping apartment OF Mr.. Duffy and
succeeded in stealing 800 In currency
and coin. After securing his booty he
made good his escape.

THE SEVENTH WARD CONTROVERSY.

Editor Democrat-Tn your edition of
Wednesday. Aug. "a, q communication

candidacy of Mr.. Elwards. TO- says :

OCR INDIAN POLICY.

That our entire Indian policy il mis-
erably conceived and more missrably
executed. has long been apparent 10 all
rejecting men. The Indiana are the
wards Of the nation. and their welfare
should have been carefully protsetsd.
Our action toward them should have
been dictated by q spirit Of kindness
tempered with Grmnsss. Their savage
nature should have kept us on the watch
for ontbreaks. and made Ms extremely
careful Of entrusting them with arms
and ammunition to use against US.
Their natural treschsry Of disposition
should have warned US against placing
il in their power To make wal success
fully for any length OF time against US.
All these things should have been
thought Of when We were arranging our
Indian policy. AMI those are precisely
the things which were not thought 81 al
all.
Il has been urged that the Indian
gains his living by hunting. and that II
We take away his guns and cartridges.
We deprive him Of the means Of procur-
ing Subsistence. This kind Of argument
Is the v~srisst nonsense. Before the
white man cam to America the Indians
hal no guns; and yet they did their
hunting, and gained their living by u.
Al that time they were able to kill al
the game they needed With their own
rude weapons. II they could do II
then. they can do il now. Il is NO BE-
eanss We believe the indisps need arms
that We furnish them. II is because the
scoundrslly agents who are the principal
element in our government Of the saw
ages can make money by the sale OF
arms to them. The trouble lies in ouI
system. not in the natural needs Of the
Indian.
