rested on no law Or reason. end tha committee

Years, hE3 been that tho cOored man voted con-
t7arY to his and our own good, now of all times

Two hundred colored mon nobly supported our

would lead one to suppose them in
favor of independents such how
ever, is not the case. Their we'll
known patriotism and popularity
makes "a know that none will battle
harder than they for the success of
the Democratic ticket.
The Democracy of Natcbitoches ia

Convention. We have nominated
for the Legislature two Of the hest
men in the parish, and every effort
must and will be strained to secure
their election. All other offices and
officers are insignificant, and the pa
