life blood from her veins. The most
felcitous reflection which accompanies
the disenthrallment of South Carolina
is, the almost absolute certainty that
it but preccdes and prepares the way
for the redemption and restoration OF
the state we allude to, Louisiana, 1t

rctard the day of her restoration to that
prosperity which marked all the pre-
yious years of her history.
Louisiana must be redeemed, and the
redemption Of South Carolina is but
the harbinger of this, Let Mr.. Hayes
Withdraw the soldiers from the capitol
of Louisiana and at once the govern
ment of Packard will show how utterly
foreign it is to the genius and hopes of
the people Of that state. In twelve
hours after that event, if it does take
place, peace and quiet will reign
throughout the borders of the state,
and the entire south will feel again
that she has common interest with the
north, in perpetuating the government
planted here one hundred years since
by our common ancestors. Every con.
sideration of sound policy, right, truth
and justice, as we'll as expediency, de-
mands this recognition by the president.
Call off the troops, and the south will
be responsible for the behavior of the
Nichols government.
