The colored people Of this State
have had a fair trial Of Democrat;
during the past year or more. That
party has redeemed fully and with
out reservation, ever promise made
to them.
Their property, lives and liberty
have been fully protected. No effort
has been made to put them back in
slavery" No violence has been Of
fered them in person or property.
Every facility tor the education of
their children which the whites enjoy
have been given them, aud if they
are not satisfied with the universal
peace and contentment which they
DOW enj"y, then we eau never satisfy
them. If they are not pleased with
the protection afforded the stern and
majestic vindication of law vouch-
safed and the full rights guaranteed
them under Democratic government,
then they must desire strife, anarchy
and turmoil.
Let the thinking colored man re-
fleet well on bis condition DOW aud
two years ago, aud let him candidly
jndge which government 10 Louisiana
had condaced most Of his happiness
and prosperity that Of Radicalism or
Democracy.

Bnrkr's dispatches his evidence and

Burke stona Nichols, behind Nichols
stood the armed White League Of New

that's the sum total ot the "po''cy.

The Business Men of New Ori"au>.


above named class of our populations,
it has long been our purpose t" at
dress Il few words of advice.
Those of us who ,'>idc III the
country parishes have been for Il long
time nuder the impression that a
large number of tho "bnsineSs n'n
of the City had a direct interest IN
bad government. We have been
strengthened in this opinion by their
action on every occasion where d.
rect issue has been made between
principle and corruption. Tho mass
of the "Business Interest," has been
found arrayed on the side of the bad
They hoated Warmouth's and ke]-
logg's government by readily dis
counting their Bonds and Scrip.
They broke down John McEnery,
the honest peoples Governor, under
the plea that strife would ruin their
interests.
They threatened Gen. Ogden at the
moment of his collision in September
1874, which collision did result
10 the fatal blow to Radicalism
in Louisiana, with dire vengeance il
he did not Immediately retire with
his White League.
They petitioued thousands strong
against Kellogg's impeachment for
crimes and misdemeanots, by the
House of Representatives in 1876,
and gave him and his crew moral
support in the fight which resulted in
our defeat.
That same year they furnished
Packard, before the Gibson Commit
tee, with certificates of character,
when his hands were red with the
blood of our heroes, aud rendered it
of the utmost difficulty for us to de-
feat his election.
These are the mercst shadow OF
their sins before Radicalism went
down. Since they have been equally
as guilty Of gross crimes against the
people and good government.
They began theil efforts early in
the administration of Governor Mich
oils. Beginning with the selection of
Tax Collectors for the country par
ishes, III defiance of their will and
petition, these Cuisines men of New
Orleans ended by signing, in large
numbers and at the insti CATION of the
Lottery and other monorolies, re-
monstrance to the legislature against
an honest Constitution.
These are sins enough, and they do
not INCLUDE near all that could he
enumerated, to awake 10 the "coun-
try people" a lively if not bitter op-
position to those peculiar "business
interests" which seem to flourish 81
we'll in corrupt times and through
corrupt agencies.
The great majority of New Orleans
is patriotic and loyal to honor aud
pure rule. They must, however, teach
those business men, who are ever
ready to back any species of lascaIity
and submit to any amount Of bad
government 90 their opportunity to
gather in the cent per cent is not in.
terrupted, a lasting lesson.
The country people are at thai
point where they are determined tc
resist these gentry in future, and we
warn them to confine themselves to 8
study of the interest Of the wholt
people of this State, and to at once
divest their minds of the fallacy thai
| they are Louisiana.
The people of the country have in
terests which they propose to main
tain at all hazards.
