here in this back woods place believe
they got up with fees on them, incud-
ing the New Orleans Democrats, The
time has passed when the widespread
dissatisfaction of the people at the Dem
ocratic party's having been captured by
lot of political huNters is t" be dismiss
ed by the little witty man of the Demo
crat Tho great body Of the peoHle are
the accusers: the bill, the complaint is,
that the pledges and promises of the
Democratic party are unfulfilied, not
only so, bnt that corruption in Office,
bribery, and political demas ognery Of an
! open and shameless character threatens
to enrnlf the State. We eXpected-and
| we demand better things. What does
capital say? With all the New Orleans
papers boistering up State securities and
even after the State Treasurers notlhca-
ton to the Governor, that he has the
finds with which to pay the interest on
| the State bonds-they are CONSTANT de-
clining. The same may be said OF New
| Orleans bonds. All this means some
thing; and it is that beggars are on
horseback, and that they are riding us t."
| the devil. If the promised reform ha"
! been instituted, there wonln have been a
| ready and cheerful approval of the Gov
| ernmpnt. The Democrats elected the
| Government and they were loyal to 1t,
! and hc ped to he able 70 point with prlde
| to its good results. There was person
al attachment to Louis Alfred Witt. He
| was the native Louisianan who 1csente"
! the insult to the sovereignty of our State,
aud led her Legislators out of % desc
Grated Hall. Aud a jealons and enthusi-
asst ic people We're anNiens to approve.
! This temper has been triiied with, an"
, .rafficked away. Who is above or be-
| ynnd the reach Of public resentment! I!
| We will not stop or stoop to caution so
| low or mean thing as Il BIlgad'er CEN
| crai OF Militia, or IL mere Circuit HiSc-
nor a public printer-tleasurer-b Will
suggest that it may be equal to the sac
rlice even of a Governor.
The Democrat would impose upon us
| that Governor Wilt is above reproot ana
condemnation. Never was greater mis-
take made; we will teach him and the
| Democrat that he is Governor by our al
| lowance: we demand economy and re-
! form instead of reckless eNtraVa-
| yance and corruption. and promise that
the unseemly bIackguardisn: of gentle
| men who condemn his administration py
his partner's of the Democrat shall not
save him from overwhelming denuncla-
| tion. which will inevitably result from
the rainf,,l disappointment of our just ex-
prctations. Quartcrnlaster Burke OF the
! Democrat, will yet be taught that MS
blackyuarl clown, who puhs his cheek
| at $40 per month, is not sufficient Tor the
extin"uishment of that gallant true SOL
Iier and Senator b. w. Marston. The
best blood in the land flows in his veins.
! As soldier or S natOr, he is without re-
pronch. Asa soldier he was always at
tho front repelling the enemy, and as Il
Senator, he stood faithful guard over the
,reas,,ry of the State and corrected the
scandaiens overcharges OF CosSr"'e
and tj,e Democrat. Nothing but "the
pure and impartial administration o'
| Government will ever win the approval
of Ii spirite'' people," JuNlC0'
