Some Of Their Own D0ings.

The Northern people complain Bit
terIy of Kearneyism, at least that's
the talk of the aristocratic portion of
cur loyal fellow citizens. Their de-
nunciation of the very idea of "stu-
pid, ignorant, propertyless whites"
daring to rule a country, is )augha-
bic to US. When scamps from the
North headed the poor, ignorant, pre-.
JUDGED negro, and plundered our
Southern people of millions, while
they murdered, raped and burned,
these soft skinned, army contract,
"bjg bngs" didn't see any great wrong
in it. Because the starving whites of
the North, brought to poverty by
their greed and vicious legislation,
dare rise and assert white manhood,
these same think it prepcsterous
outrage.
The Northern people are but reap
ing the whirlwind Of their own SOW.
ing. In their blind hatred, malevo-
lence and fary, they destroyed all We
possessed, and the means they en-.
ployed to wreck rs returns to plun.
der and demolish them.
Unlike "A, they have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that they sre to be
despoiled BY their own race =; a race
subject to reason and imbned with
mercy. The vandels they poured
down 90 our fair land were of an
alien blood, and degraded Us while
plundering.

The Amendments.

Some journals are anxious to know
why the Convention at Baton Rouge
failed to mention the Amendments
by the last Legislature. The
Convention recognized the fact, that
the con test all along was between the
Attachments, which had their birth in
corruption and major support from
corrupt men, on the one side and the
call for q Convention to frame q new
and honest Constitution on tho other.
They declared for the Convention,
and BY that declaration more en-
phaticalIy denounced the Amend.
ments than if they had deluged Lou.
isiana with q sea of words.

State Printer and Grand Jury.

The candid minded citizen Of this
section thinks great injustice has been
done Mr.. Dupre, State Printer, oy
the Grand Jury of New Orleans.
If he over charged the State for
work ; if he performed services not
allo we'd by law aud drew pay there
for, he was indictable for perjury and
malfeasance in Office, and the Grand
jury deserves the severest censnre
tor not performing their duty. The
conclusion that Mr.. Dupre did not
oyerstep his lawful duty is irresista-
bic, from the fact that he was not in
dicted.
What then are fair-minded men t'
think of the whole matter9 Sin'V
that the Grand Jury lent the'ee' "

ID since Governor Nichols, who
gave the subject thought, declares he
sees no way in which be can interfere,
it being matter solely within judi
cial Jurisdiction, all men must see to
what situation the Grand Jury by
their report has reduced Mr.. Dnpre.
No honorable man in the State en-
tertains the idea for single moment,
that Mr.. Dupre has ever charged one
cent more for his work than the law
allowed, all sympathise with him,
while they denounce the Grand Jury
for lending their aid to the propoga
ton of a SANDER which must wound
deeply 90 honorable a gentleman as
Mr.. Dupre, while he is rendered pow

That Convention.

The Point C"npee Record thinks the
Democratic party Of this State will
mt call Constitutional Convention.
W. can't see what has got into the
Anti-Coustituional Convention peo'
pie. They made their fight inside
the party and the decision has been
as follows:
That it is the sense and judgement
of this convention that the Legisla-
ture Of this State at its next session
shonld provide for the calling and
assembling Of convention at tho
earliest practicable time thereafter,
to frame and to establish a new con
stitution of the State of Louisiana.
That is now Democratic doctrine
Az much as any dogma enunciation at
Baton Rouge, and th"se who desire to
further oppose Constitutional Con.
vention can do so only in one way
outside the Democratic party.

shreveport Times, 9TH.
We observed yesterday that the ex-
citcmcnt over the d.fra, of Mayor Mon
cure for the nomination for State
Treasurer had considerably abated.
The sober SECOND thought will
prompt the reflection that local pre-
ferences cannot always be gratitied.
and 40 long as there are parties par
ty discipline should be voluntarily
maintained. There is vast deal OF
bosh about the ''party LASH and
kindred terms. For onrsr)f We a."
not propose to attempt its nSe. Every
intelligent voter has his opinion OF the
government policy that will'beSt sub:
serve the inttrSts of the country. and
he is morally bound to vote in accor-
dance with his convictions. The pro-
vince of party paper is t" ende'"r
to confirm it's friends in the faith aud
and to gain as many converts as pos:
sible from the other side. We hold
that tho principles IF the Democrattc
party arc the best for the South. and
that her only friends at the North
are in that party. Firmly believing
this We must warn our friends against
the evil Of deserving the ticket tor
light and trivial causes.
Individuals may entertain pre-.
judicc against Mr.. Burke, bnI we
doubt if they arc we'll founded. We
confess to have entertained the feel
ing ourself, though also confess it was
based on an unfonnded opinion. But
during two months stay in New
Orleans pending the contest between
the Nichols and Packard Govern
ments We witnessed some and heard a
great deal Of his untircd efforts 10 be-
half of the former. When We saw
the implicit trust imposed in his
Judgment and integrity by the lead
ing men of the party and by Gov.
Nichols himself, we were forced to
the conviction that We had been un'
Just in our estimate of the man.
In manner he is courteous, quite
and unpretending, while his energy is
simply wonderful. His administrative
ability is probably superior to that of
any man in the State. His head is az
clear as a bell, and his Judgment is
rarely at fault. lie did more to orga.
nize the Democratic party in New
Orleans ia the elections of ~ "a and
&c than any one else, and his intlo.
ence there to day is so great that he
can carry probably 20n0 more votes
than any other candidate could. He
certainly deserves we'll Of the people
of Louisiana, and We feel confident
will he elected by an overwhelming
majority, even if he has any opposi-
ton.

Mat Wells.

This foselited old thief has the
hrazeu affrontry to declare himself a
candidate for Congress from this (4th)
District, on the "lndepende"t" ticket
The ipdecency Of this will strike
most honorable men as marvellous 10
the extreme. The "virtue" OF the
wudependcnt" has bee" P'e"c"e'
| throuehout this State with vi"

t the shape q Mat Wells, to whom
honor, vine and decency are stran'
aoro : oxcites nought bnt supreme
d;eust.
! The letter which this fraud indites
and publishes in We the People, n
journal of doubtful repnte published
in Alexandria, La, is an appeal to
Radicals, old line Wings, and the flag
ends Of all political organizations to
rally to the standard of Mat Wells!
Should they do so, which we serious
ly doubt, consistency would for once
be marked. After stuffiug ballot
boxes aud committing the high and
objectionable crime of raping the
electoral rights Of free people, for
which lie escaped punishment only
through the mistaken or idiotic mag
nanimity Of the peoples representa-
tives, Mat Wells has the solemn as
surance to appeal for the snffrages of
the honest white and colored men Of
the 4th Congressional District.
Well, we'll I've hope now that, af-
ter Yarmouth aud Wharton, Pinch
back and Anderson, and last, but by
no means least, Mat Wells, bound to
the front as Republican nti-Demo.

Jealous friends throught Louisiana
will acknowledge that the VlNDICA.
TORS political sagacity is entitled to
some credit. When We differed from
the policy of Governor Nichols, we
did so honestly. We insisted that il
tended to gelvanize dead enemy
who was entitled to no sympathy, no
mercy, and our words are now full
filled prophesies. Radicalism in
Louisiana has, thanks to that mista.
ken policy, not been killed, only
scotched. Happily that line is now
abandoned, and our people, thorough
ly united, will show Mat Wells and his
crew what Democrats unawed by
federal bayopets, and not dishearten"
ed by the fear of ballot box suffers
and returning boards, can accomplish.
Democracy, clad in her panoply Of
eternal justice and truth; the cham
pion Of the wronged aud oppressed,
will crush Radicalism in Louisiana 90
deep in oblivion that Daught shall
remain of it save tue remembrance OF
its crimes.
