SHOULDER TO SHOULDER.

Eternal vigilance is nearly always
necessary to success. Over conn
dence accompanied by indifference
is sure forerunner OF defeat. These
truths should be borne in mind con-
stantly between now and the day OF
election by the Democracy OF the
Fifth Congressional district.
Our candidate is beyond question
sans peur ct sans reproche, and
the peer of the brightest and best
Statesmen in the land. But this
should not tempt us to relax orr
efforts in the least to make the VIC
tory as complete and far reaching as
possible.
The Populite movement is a new
departure, and to considerable ex-
tent an hidden danger. Not because
Of its own immediate numerical force,
but the possibility, and indeed, from
what we learn, the probability OF a
fusion between the Republicans and
Populites in the district. The Re-
publicans are willing to do anything
and everything in their power to
down the Democracy. Therefore
every Democrat in the district
should be constantly on the alert,
watching every move of the enemy
and using all the means within theii
power to counteract all the tricks
and schemes the enemy are guilty OF
dong. This done, the victory viii
be doubly assured beyond any doub'
or question, for with the Hon. Chas
]. Boatner as a leader, there can be
no such word as fail. His name
alone is tower of strength, carry
ing with it prestige that inspires
the members of the party with
|
fervid zeal and an eager determine
ton to do their whole duty IN tn
present contest. Let every Demo
| crat determine in his own mind tina
there shall be no let up until tn
| fight is over, for,
Well nail our standard to the mast,
, Democracy is right;
Forgetting all the errors past,
: We're eager for the light:
With Charley Boatner firm and free,
Well march right on to victory.
) Our candidate Is true as steel.
His courage often tried,
Has proved him loyal, staunch aud leai,
Demoeracy's just pride.
With such Democrat as he.
+ We're bound to march to victory.
5 So let the Populites proclaim,
Their piney woods detection,
: THEY'LL surely find their gang behiad,
. November next's election.
SO march along with heartfelt giee,
Aud Boatner's name to victory.

Purdy. Mrs. Purdy presided and Miss
Mary Motgomerv acted as secretary.

cided that at the next meeting sub
committees would be appointed for
various purposes, among which TO col
Ilect statistics Of the parish, which
should include irs wood, cotton. hay,
cereals; etc. It was also resolved that

fquested to furnish pencil Sketches of

Ice. &c. A committee on needle
work will also be appointed. It was
the sense OF this meeting that some OF
our enterprising planters would sup
ply the committee with sufficient cot
ton in the seed to make merchant
able bale for exhibition, and on that
subject the conclusion was apparently
reached that instead of passing the
cotton through gin, it should be
picked from the seed by hand, the
ladies to perform the labor Of picking
with the aid Of the young gentlemen OF
the parish, aud that cotton picking

GET DOWN TO YOUR WORK.

Twenty-four days from date the
Presidential election will be on and
off. Yet thus far, there has been
little or nothing done for the DEM
ocracy in Louisiana from National
stand point. Why is this thus /?
Where are the great guns of the par
ty? Have they been spiked?
Where is Gibson? Where is Whites
Why thus sinking from the fight!
Their stolid silence seems TO say,
They are not eager for the fray.
Come to the front where duty lies,
Or Popufites will snatch the prize;
Come help, with burning words OF mouth
To hold intact the solid South.
Men of we'll known ability and es-
tablished eIoquence, whom the Dem
ocracy have time and again honored
should not be found idling in the
back ground when their services are
so much needed in the front ranks,
unless they are DESTROYS OF acquiring
the title of ingrates towards the par
ty.
The fact that Louisiana has an es-
tablished Democratic majority is no
excuse whatever for evading the
plain line of duty ; besides, many
changes have taken place OF late, and
4
the recognized leaders cannot but be
fully aware of the detection from the
Democratic ranks during the past
year.
We earnestly urge upon the strong
and talented members of the party t.
come to the front and arouse Will
their eloquence the energy and en-
thusiasm of the party from one enc
Of the State to the other.
! There is plenty of work mucl
| needed, and it must be done, ant
| when 'twere done, 'twere well 'twer
done quickly. Democracy expect
every member to do his duty.

A prominent correspondent of the
New York Sun, plainly and pointed
ly put it down as follows:
My Interpretation of the so-called
Force bill is this:
/. That the Republicans are to
make the bill law.
2. That Republican President
is to appoint Republican Super
visors.
8. That these Republican Super
visors are to appoint Republican In
spectors.
A. That the Republican Super
visors and Inspectors shall have full
power to determine who shall vote
and who shall not vote.
8. That their decisions shall be
enforced, if necessary, by the army
and navy.
If the above is correct, then fail
election is to rest entirely with one
party.
If fair election is to rest entirely
with one party, it would be more
direct to let that party do the voting
and prohibit all other parties from
voting.
