solemn protest against the proposition of
certain hAlf-hearted and trimming Repub-
licans to trade off the Republican State of
Louisiana and the interests and rights of
the cOlOred people to the Democratic party
for any consideration whatever. We deny
the legal and moral right of any small
cabal of politicians to do anything of the
kind.
We are perfectly aware of the immense
debt of gratitude which the eOlored people
rest under to the Republican party. We
have given abundant evidence of that
gratitude since our enfranchisenent by a
steady and undertaking support of the par
ty, and not a few of our race have sealed
with their blood their devotion to Repub-
ican principles.
We do not believe that the great Repub-
lican party in the North will sanction any
such trade of our rights as is now sought to
be made, and for our part we Indignantly
deny that any man of our race has been
authorized by us or by any considerable
number of the colored people of the State
to enter into any such nefarious negotia-
ton.
