cy of intelligence and the security of
those who ate to live after us.
Possibly our words are not plain
enoush. If 80, let us explain.
There has not been an issue OF this
paper since its establishment-more
than 10 years ago-in which the supre-
macy OF the white race was not upheld,
and the dominion of the negro was not
condemned. We have not stopped at
contingencies, probabilities, or lent an
ear to the Establishments of cowardly,
corrupt politicians. It has been, with
US, fight for principle. Fortunately
we might say purposely-the TELE-
GRAPH Is In position now to speak
very plain. This State must be rescued.
It is In miserable bad condition, and
We are bound to say that the men in
power are unequal to the task before
them. They are either weak, or dread
the consequences, in q hurdle race for
future promotion. They are either
nerveless, or are catering to false ideas
OF local selfgovernment. OF this we
are sick, and here uplift both of our
hands against this monstrous lack of
manhood. 1t ought to be understood
that this death struggle-the first and
last chance Of the people of Louisiana
to establish genuine home govern
ment. The election of 1880 will not
answer for this purpose: Speaking
reverentially, "Now is tho accepted
time"
What care the oppressed people of
this State for their oppressors? What
care they, now, for National politics
It is their business and to their inter-
ests to redeem Louisiana, and make q
government for themselves under
which they can live and prosper, no
matter who becomes Presidept of the
United States. And we tell them
plainly-as the TELEGRAPH has a
right to do-that they will be fools II
they do not seize this opportunity to
make this State free and Independent.
Cause ?'' Shall we recall the struggles
gone through since that Cause was
lost? Need we set up before them in
s<characters of living light" the men
who have misruled this State? Or
shall we take them along, step by step,
over the road they have travelled
foOt-sore and weary? This would DO q
tiresome task-and I'VE hope, needless
one. If the scars reinain-if the race
OF patriots is not extinct-if memory
survives, the people of Louisiana will
redeem themselves, and there will be
f" no moro stormy Clouds"
