THE HILLS AND THE LEVEE IN.
TERESTS.

Before the Democratic mass meeting
Of Jackson parish, held some weeks
ago, the Hon. Il. E. Kidd made very
eloquent speech, some extracts from
which have been furnished US, and are
appended in order to show that the
people in the hills arc not only not in
imical to the rebuilding OF the levees,
but favor the measure with as much
zeal as could be desired:
1t has been said to me that if I spoke
here to-day in favor of constitutional
convention my chances for nomination
to Congress would be considerably di-
minished. Gentlemen, have never
been wild on this subject of a congress
sional nomination, and if to secure it
I shall have to close my mouth upon
this, Louisiana's greatest political
question, then it will not be secured.
But, feilow-citizens, I had thought
that an individual might have his own
opinions on this question of State pol
icy and at the same time be eligible to
seat In Congress. had thought that
my ideas on the matter of Il new con-
stitution would not prevent me from
endeavoring in Congress to nationalist

ruinous financial policy and unjust

and pledges tile Democratic party to
reform these wrongs on its ascendancy

mocracy demand that the National
banking system should be abolished,
and National bank notes retired, and
In lieu thereof, that tho Government
Of the United States should issue an
equal amount of Treasury notes, COM
monty known as greenbacks and we
also demand the unconditional repeal
Of laws imposing a tax on circulation
of State banks. We demand, also, the
immediate and unconditional repeal
OF the Resumption Act, and are
unalterably opposed to tho ruinous
policy pursued by the Republican
party, whereby the volume Of currency
has been contracted far below the
business requirements Of the country,
and failures, depression of business,

have been entailed that it Is the sense
of this Convention that all bonds and
obligations of the National Govern

In the original law under which they
were issued. We further demand the
repeal of all laws subsequent to the

hold my opinions ON this subject and

Texas Pacific, until the iron horse,
gathering up his burthen on the West

until painting and throbbing he would
lay it down on the banks of the Missis-
sippi. I had thought, too, that I could
favor q constitutional convention and
at tho same time be prepared to strike
down the mastery of the bondholder
and the Wall street king and bid it
pale before the financial interests of
fifty millions of people. 1t is new to
me that opinion on one great subject
would prevent exertion on others of q
widely divergent nature. In any
event, I am willing for it to be known

only in this district but throughout the
State, that am uncompromisingly in
favor of the calling of a constitutional
convention in the early days of the
next Legislature of the State.
