the standard bearer Of the remnants

cheater Of the Returning Board. In

LET Us REASON TOGETHER

a lew SNORT weeks, anu election
day will be at hand. It will then be
the duty of every true-hearted citi-
zen of Rapides, to exercise his right
of suffrage. But then, his duty does
not stop here. He should exert his
influence, be it much or little, to get
bis neighbor or bis friend, to vote
for the cause Of right, truth and jus
tice-the cause of law and order.
There are but two tickets presented
to the people Of this Parish for their
support, as there are 10 fact, but two
parties here-one, the Democratic
Conservative, the other, the Radical
Republican. Between the two par.
ties We can not draw parallel.
Their lines do not run that way, and
in this particular, comparisons are
odious In the superlative degree. The
trick has been exposed by US, where
the opposition, led by the most
artful Of evil designers, have endeav-
orsd to spring mp another party in
our midst, or rather q side issue,
with clap.trap name, in order to
get Democratic votes. The object
was not to get Radical votes, they
had them already. But, alas! for the
best laid plans of mice and men! they
sometimes 60 astray. The cloven
foot of the great II would be" was
there, and the people mistrusted and
took counsel together. The result
has been most salutary. Our PEG
pie are not divided; our party is
compact.
After years Of misrule, which our
people have endured with a patience
and forbearance almost God-like,
looking steadfastly and hopefully for.
ward to the time, when a change
would come for the better, we are
at last beginning to emerge into the
light of another and brighter day
Shall we continue on our course, on
ward and upward, battling for the
right9 or become lukewarm in the
cause, and thereby endanger all our
bright prospects of liberty, peace
aud happiness? But one response
swells up from the bosom of every
true man Of grand old Rapides:--
"Never give up the shipw Stick to
it, and victory Is ours. We cannot
be outwitted BY demagogues and pc.
litical tricksters, neither can We be
dismayed by all the cohorts of Rad
icalism. "a long pull, strong pull,
and q pull all together" and the ides
of November will dawn upon US a
free, united and prosperous people {!

this despotic power is now we'll

and in future number We may show
how knowledge Of it was developed,
and its development necessarily de-
monstrates its effects, but our space
forbids that we should enter upon it
at the present time. For tho pres

power Of contraction was well known
to the bankers and capitalists OF
New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and the leaders of the Republican
party, and the widespread ruin Of
contraction has not been uuwfttingly
inflicted upon the country.
Its object was three fold: to enrich
the capitalist by doubling the value
Of money; to insure the rule and su-
premacy oil the East over the West
and South; to subdue the turbulent
labor unions which, In their conscious
might, threatened contest danger
Gus to capital. It is interesting to
mark the skill With which the con.
test was avoided aud the patient
ability which humbled the power OF
labor In the dust. The labor unions
were conscious of their power va.

their foe. They could not see that

Orleans county, NewIork, Tribune, OF April
Il, IS62, and is criticism Of an agricultu-
raj address delivered at that place short
time before, by George 7. Anthony, now
Governor OF Kansas. The speech was
carefully prepared and written out by the
speaker, and the paragraphs criticized
we're pot hasty, thoughtless u,teranles, but
expressed the speakers judgment, and were
defended by him in the discussion which
naturally followed his somewhat eItraortl-
nary address. The files of the BuL'esin OF
this city, during the time he was in our en-
ploy, as editor of that paper, will show fr.=

ing to show that the estr,cis here given do
not misrepresent him, but do fairly reflect
the opinions entertained by him Of the
character and position of the man who
earns his living by honest labor.
