The White Race Dominant

week it will be seen that even
thus early docs Blunt muster his
clans. The pulpit brrathrs forth
hisdangcr and calls upon the faith
fu| to protect him at all hazards.
This is what we expected; ana
startling as this news is to all
lovers Of peace, we NUT confess
a certain pride in the correctness
of our knowledge of the character,
and prophecy OF the motives and
actions Of B!uyt in the future, as
judged by his past conduct.
The negro in Louisiana has but
to understand one thing thorough
" to be for all time contcntcd and
happy. That experience. bc II
ever so bitter, will be required, to
teach him this one thing, our
knowledge Of his character gives
us the right to believe.
That one thing is, the DoNINAN-
Cl OF THE WHITE RACE.
1t is utterly impossible for
dreamers or theorists to contend
that Louisiana, or any other State
for that matter, can bc ruled ny
u mixture of races, when those
races represent the extremes III
character, class and cast, as Ill
the white and black races. The
bitter experience of ten years Is
al irrpfutable answer to the milk
SOD who would argue for any
other conclusion than the COM
plcte dominance Of the white race.
All white men are q unit, how
ever, on that point, and the black
man must learn it sooner or later
the sooner the better for HIM
and his. Blunt and his crowd
must know, and know from this
on, that the intelligent white man
intends TO rule Louisiana in Camp
and Court, and that the last YES
tise of negro dominance must be
stamped out. No white man in
tends to deprive or cYrtail the ne
groes rights. lie is n citizen be,
fore the law, and will be held and
esteemed as such by the white
race. But there are privileges
which the white race will never
accord an inferior race, and that
is the privilege to rule them.
The negro (of course we speak OF
the masscs) is not fitted by cdu.
cation to rule himself, much less
us, and he has given ample and
sorrowful example Of the utmost
of human depravity by ~ short
reign of ten years.
That ten years must rot be re
pcatcA, nor will it be, unless n
the end OF a very wocfu} struggle
We propose to minister to thu
wants Of the negro, and we know
bis wants, in onr own way. W.
understand the relation he bear;
to us, and We know full we'll wha
orr duty TO him is. He must bt
educated mentally and morally
in fact, he must be trained as on
own children, in order to fit hin
tor The 0nties Of our citizenship
and our civilization.
The first step in this advance o
the negro to the higher plan'
must be his complete severance
from such human scOnrges Al
Blunt. lie has lived his day, ant
it has been a sad day for the blacl
man, as time will yet demonstrate
to his OWN satisfaction. Blum
has placed himself outside til,
pale of mercy by line of condnc
brutally outrageous toward thu
whites, and rlAnous to the blacks
lilo has no power now. That 1t
has been completely shorn of b.
the inexosable logic Of events, AM
that power the whites are deter
mined he shall never again exe1
efse.
When the black men, and pat
ticularly the black preachers ant
the hays that hang around Blunt
and like the women of the days 0
Terror in France, cry for blood
learn this, as they will be mad
to learn it, then we will hear n
more of this idiotic bombast Q
''motecting Blunt at all hazards.
