FOR FREEDOM AND OUR HOMES.


The battle for Liberty against Des-
potism has begun III the Northern
country, and the Democratic lines con-
tending for the government created
by the men of l776, have been repuls-
ed as far as the boundaries Of the
glorious Empire State. Though the
Democracy was divided between
Kelly and Robinson, Clarkson Potter
and the rest of the ticket are elected
by q handsome majority, and New
York has breasted the radical wave.
That noble State proclaims that her
thirty-ive electoral votes will he given
to Hancock, Bayard, or any other
patriotic Democratic candidate for
President in 1880.
With Indiana for the Democracy,
acting in unison with the solid South,
the Centalizcrs or 1mpcrialists must
90 the wall, and the men who have
"struck oil' in Pennsylvania, or have
grown rich through monopolies will
not become Slloddy Dukes, and Prin-
ces of the Empire Of Columbia \ The
Republic end the Union Of our fathers
will be maintained, and the humble
citizen will be "a man for a. that"
We are no longer the aristocratic
South. Our people have become the
sons of toll. Though poor the men
who, for seven days bore the brpnt Of
battle before Richmond, and on five
hundred other fields, will merer recog
nize that they have sunk so low rs to,
need what the shoddies are pleased to
call a "strong government"
And the South ,ciV stand solidly for,
the Constitution and the Union, and
nothing else. The Demagogucs may
wave the bloody shirt as long az
they please, but we will never finch
and desert New York, Indiana, and
such other States as may stand bes
side them. !.
The hour is a trying one, and whel'
the skulkers are going to the reall
then is the time when meu stand by
their colOrs. 1
The New York Times and the Tri-
bune, are urging the radical leaders
to come to Louisiana, there to break
the Southern Phalanx. Kellogg the
infamous usurper is calling for their
assistance.
Shall we cover before them and
allow our heroic State to be the first
in Dixie's land to abandon her gallant
sisters9
We cannot believe for an instant
that our people will be SO recreant to
their past history as to permit our
escutcheOn to be thus furnished.
Men of East Baton Rouge, yours is
the Capital parish, and heavy thrust
will he aimed at you. Will you parry
the blow and strike down your an
tagonists
We are proud to see that political
battle is to be fought here, because
we know that we have the men who
will meet the foe successfully.
The enemy has not dared to con
front you with vizor raised. He has
sought to obtain allies in your midst
The mask is now off and your indie.
pendents have joined hands with tho
remnants of the carpet bag maraudcrs
Will you not rout this unholy ant
unjustifable alliance

THAT RADICAL RESOLUTION.

In another column we publish, q
resolution passed at the Beattie Radi-
cal meeting, over which presided the
notorious Carpet Dagger, ''long John"
Chapman, which states that the Re-
publicans of this parish will give
their support to the Independent can
lidates, who IN return have promised
to ensure a free election and fair
count at the polls, Of all votes cast for
their State ticket.
We are the last to deny any citizen
the privilege Of seeking official posi-
ton independent Of party nomina-
tons, but when men, claiming to be
Democrats, pledge themselves to
sustain in the manner desclib-
ed above the Radical State ticket,
they ought not to expect their Demo
cratic friends to give them the slight
est support.
The agreement itself constitutes,
first, an accusation that the Demo-
cratic party intends to conduct the
election in u fraudulent manner; and
worse than this, that these indepen-
dents have it in their power, and
mean to use it, to prevent such a
cOnsummatiOn.
Why this accusation, accompanied
by this implied threat9
There are to he no United States
troops at the polls, as in former days,
to bolster up the Radical henchmen
DO the Independents mean to sup
ply their placer
We hope that they don't intend tt
pursue the policy ofintimidating Their
former Democratic allies, whose right
to stand by their party nominees is
one that they certainly will exercise
as they have in the past, under any
and all circumstances.
There is no occasion for such "bloo0
and thunder" menaces, as the election
will be held fairly and sqnarely, ant
in strict accord with the law. The
Democratic party has no need and
will not resort to illegitinate means
to carry their ticket VIGOROUSLY
Least of all will they use force Or in.
timidation but we caland do assure
all whom it may concern, that the
Democrats will not allow themselves
to be bulldozed by anybody, and vii
cast their ballots like men who, know.
ing their rights as freemen, dare
maintain them!
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-11-08

forth now to our homes with n0ught
but the kindliest feelings, to work for
the material advancement Of our
State"
You are called upon, colored men
Of East Baton Rouge, to give your
approval to the acts Of your Demo-
cratic representatives in tho Conyen-
ton while you cast your votes at the
approaching election.
Of course you will vote for the
Constitution, because it contains
everything that you can wish for, be-
sides re-establislling the Capital
in your midst-at Baton Rouge!
We appeal to you us one Of those
who, on the floor of the Convention,
stood up in advocacy Of your rights,
to give your votes to the nominees of
the Democratic party, rather than to
others whose only claim is their ina
bility to obtain the nomination Of the
self-same party, and in consequence
have styled themselves Independents.
If you are to chose between regular
Democrats whose brethren have shown
that their party would stand by their
pledges, and Independents who still
claim to be Democrats, but who will
represent nothing but themselves in
the positions they seek and be power
less to assist you in any way in return,
is it not the part of wisdom to give the
regular ticket your undivided support.

HEROIC DEFENCE OF THE IRON
CLAD HUASOAR.

PANAMA, Oct. Gj.-Furthcr lnfOr-
nation of the cruise of the Huascar
and Union, South, and Of their meet
ing with two divisions Of the CHILEAN
navy, is derived from the official re-
port of Capt. Aurelio Garcialy Gar
cia, comnlandant of the Union. The
two vessels called at Iquique, then
stood South, arriving off Sarco, a
CHILEAN port, OIL the fourth instant,
where they captured the CHILEAN
schooner Coquimbo. On the morn
ing of the fifth they entered the har-
Dor Of Tanquey, when we learned
that an attempt would be made to
land a strong CHILEAN force at Iqui-
que or some other point OH the coast
of Peru. Admiral Gau then determ-
ined to return to africa.
Proceeding north the two Peruvian
steamers, on the eighth, sighted the
first division of the Chilian feet,
which was looking for them. The
Huascar..and Union at once put about
and made off as fast as possible to
the southwest. They had drawn
well away from land, the CHILEAN
feet following them, When Grau re-
solved to steer north aud endeavor to
run between the CHILEAN feet and the
shore. In this manGuvre he sue
ceeded and swept by the enenw's
first division without firing a gun.
The superior speed of the Puruvian
ships was manifest as they rapidly
steamed away from their enemies
the Blanco, Encalada and three wood
en- steamers they thought to es-
cape, when suddenly they sighted the
second Gillian division, composed
of the Almirante Cochrane and sever
al smaller vessels, coming down upon
them.
In q few minutes Grau saw he
could not escape from this ironclad,
whose speed was equal to his own.
He accordingly steered for shoal
water where, on account of his light
ness of draft, he might lead his huge
enemies on the rocks or he able to
Out-manGuvre them. The Union
here deserted her consort and escaped
to the westward, closely followed by
several smaller vessels Of the enemy.
These could not come up with her,
and she proceeded north to africa
without having fired a shot. The
fight was begun by the Huascar dis
charging hertwo three-hundred poun-
ders at close range at the Almirante
Cochrane, which Grau followed up by
an attempt to ram his antagonist.
This was unsuccessful, as the CHILEAN
irOn-clads are double screws and can
present any front they choose to an
attack by ramming.
As the Huascar swept by at such
close range she received broadside
from the Coclrane, and before she
had proceeded far the other battery
was poured into her. At the same
time the other CHILEAN ironclad came
down upon her and Grau, undismay-
ed by the odds against him, boldly
placed himself between the two ships,
which were thusprevented from firing
so rapidly, on account of the danger
of hitting each other. This, no doubt,
prolonged the fight, which lasted two
hours before the Peruvian flag was
hauled down.
For about an hour the officers Of
the Union were able to observe the
deadly combat and speak favorably
of the manner in which all three iron
clads were handled. 1t is not known
whether the Huascar was taken by
boarding, or whether after the death
of Grau, which is said to have &C.

TO OUR O0L0RED VOTERS.

November, 1876, found our parish,
aye, the State itself, in turmoil and
anarchy. The people overbur(ened
by taxation whose proceeds were dis
appearing in the pockets of an un-
scrupulous and Unsuitable set of Off
Gals, who in return dared not and
could not maintain the law, were
driven to the widest desperation.
The most intense hatred existed be-
tween the two races, and bloody con-
tlicts were almost of weekly occur
renee.
The Kellogg government, composed
Of men who, dragging the State deep
er and deeper into the abyss of ruin
and bankruptcy, were powerless to
bring any remedy for this extraordi-
nary condition Of affairs. The in
cursions of his metropolitans, backed
by federal troopers, served only to
intensity the fires of hatred that
rcigned in the breast of every man.
Federal bayonets, led by U. s. Mar
shals cleaned around every polling
place. Men were abandoning their
Louisiana homes to seek peace and
an honest living iii Texas and else
where.
1t was at this dark period that
large numbers of your race yielded to
the repeated appeals of your white
fellow citizens, and your votes were
cast for Nichols and Witt and the
Democratic ticket.
What has been the result?
Since then race animosities have
disappeared. Every man, white or
black, feels to day that he is q free
man, and so long as he pursues his
avocations as law-abiding citizen,
he goes forth .unmolested from one
end Of the State to the other. You
no longer need your revolvers or
shot-guns. Peace and good feeling
hold supreme sway over us all. Con-
tidence has been restored everywhere;
agriculture and other industries are
reviving; capital is beginning to seek
investment in our midst. Soon our
parishes will be traversed by railways
going in every direction, and a better
day is clearly dawng in the near flu
ture.
You placed your trust in the hands
of Democratic representatives to the
Convention lately held in New Or
leans. Have you any reason to say
that you were deceived by them'
They were in overwhelming major
lty in that body, and had it in their
power to throw many obstacles in
the way Of the enjoyment of your
rights as citizens. Have they done so
BY the acknowledgement Of the
representative men of your race,
Messrs. Pinchback, Allan, Landry,
Demas, and others, the new constitu-
ton is pronounced to be one that is
unsurpassed by that of any other
State in the Union. "Any man, white
or black" said Mr.. Pinchback, team
live under its liberal provisions" and
addressing himself to the Democratic
majority OF the Convention, he added:
"You have done all and more than
l had reason to expect for my race,
and my heart is filed with gratitude
at the liberality You have displayed
in framing this Constitution. cannot
part with you except as friends, and
l thank you all, whatever you be
