THE INAUGURATION.

II the democracy really and truly
believe that Mr. Hayes election to the
Presidency is the result Of fraud and
crime. they cannot more readily prove
their belief 10 their professions, and at
the same time more emphatically
stamp their disapprOvai upon such pro-
ceediDgs, than by utterly refusing to
attend, officially or inOficially, the GER
emonies Of the Inauguration. Every
Democrat who believes that Mr. Tilden
was elected, who is present at the in
auguration Of Mr.. Hayes on Monday
next, thereby either gives the lie to bis
asserted belief, or confesses himself a
conuiver at the fraud whereby Mr.
Hayes is alleged TO have been elected.
Men who, by their presence as spec
tators, countenance illegal and disre-
putable acts, are guilty Of encouraging
and abstting them, and men who stand
by and witness the commission Of .
crime are regarded as accessories to
that crime. Therefore all Democrats
who truly and honestly believe that the
Electoral vote of Louisiana rightly be-
Ionged to Mr.. Tilden, and that be was
deprived Of it by the action of the Re-
turning Board of that State, sanctioned
by the Electoral Commission, should
carefully abstain from any participation
in bis inaugural and neither BY bis
presence or otherwise. give the least
sanction to this unjust proceeding -
And this should be the method of pro-
cedure Of the Democrats in their treat
meut Of Mr.. Hayes during all bis Pres
idsncy acknowledging him as de factc
but not de jure President they should
pay only such Difference to him and bis
official acts as the good Of the country
shall require.
