A CARD.

To the Poop of West Feliciana.
As there seems to be some mis-
apprehension among my fellow-cit-
liens in regard to my present dis
position and future conduct as far
as they relate to political affairs,
I deem it but proper that I should
address to them this avowal Of my
sentiments and purposes. I deem
it but a compliance with requir-
ement which the people have right
to ask and also as a matter of simple
justice to myself.
1t is true that at the recent ell
cotton I was fairly beaten. The
will Of the people as expressed at
the ballot-box was averse to my
representing them in the councils of
the State Legislature. 1t is true
that I acknowledged this fact be-
fore going to New Orleans to take
my seat in the Packard rump.
And in this act I find sufficient
reason to justify the prejudice in
the minds of my fellow-citizens
against me. I acknowledge most
candidly that it. was wrong but all
lu1ed as I was, by the promises of
q dishonest and INSCRIPTIONS set of
partisan advisers, my weakness was
such as to permit me to assume
false position rather than to follow
tie dictates of my own conscience
and the real impulses of my heart.
feel and fully acknowledge my
error, and ask Of the people to be-
West Feliciana sentinel. (St. Francisville, La.) 1876-1877, 1877-07-21

lieve that it is one that animated
from a desire for my Individual
gain rather than a disposition to
thwart their interests, and that it
is q dereliction Of duty that can
mover occur to me again.
L would beg however, my fellow"
citizens to remember that in the
past, even duriog the highest pol
iticat excitement. my course has
never been marked by any of those
violent acts 20 peculiar to many Of
the allies of the Weber party, nor
have I ever been of that type of men
who generally represented that inter
est. I have never induced or encour-
aged enmity between the races, but
it has been my desire at all times,
that they should live in peace aud
concord. This I say, as earnestly
and sincerely as l admit that my
action in the Packard Legislature
was founded upon an i'll advised
policy.
In the future, I can safely promise
that shall never be found allied with
any party such as the Weber ring
which for years insultcd the people
and robbed the public treasury.
The objective principle of my life
hereafter will he to live by the
fruits of honest labor alone; to lend
nv humble assistance in fostering a
spirit of accord and good feeling
between the races, and to assist in so
| far as my abilities lie, 10 promoting
and securing the interests of the
| whole people, of my Parish and
State.
Asking of tho people, indulgent
forgetfulness of my past errors, and
the acceptance of my promises for
the future as given in good faith,
l am very respectfully,
LUCIUS EARLY.
