LAW1RASON, GEORGE K. AVROT, J. M. THOMPSON. Vote next Tuesday. Next Tuesday, the 11th, election day. Vote the Democratic ticket next Tuesday, January 11th. It s the white man's ticket. The election for delegates to the constitutional convention is next Tuesday, the 11th. Let every good citizen vote. Populists, how do you like your political bed-fellow, "Hon." Henry Demas, as black as soot and as oderous as a gourd vine? Before the Populists pay their respects to their leader, "Hon." Henry Demas, it would not be a bad idea for them to take along a bottle of the very loudest cologne procurable. The names of the thirty-six dele gates at large to the constitutional convention appear at our mast head., 1.et every Democratic voter famitflittie himself with the names so that he can vote intelligently. The election for members of the constitutional convention comes off next Tuesday. It is the duty of every citizen to vote. Don't stay at home thinking that the election is won. That is the precise way tat--many elections are lost. It takes voes to win. Come out and vote. Says the Baton Rouge Advocate, the puny effort of the Populists to oppose the universal demand of the Caucasian race for the control of sairs by the white men of the State ij more ludicrous than the spectacle of old Dame Partington trying to keep back the Atlantic ocean with a broom. Te adoption of a new constita tios is not calculated to, enthuse voters beeauae they don't.stopand w1eg it. .ieipptaues.

A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held in New Orleans last Monday night to endorse the call for a Constitutional Conven tion and ratify the Democratic nominees selected at Baton Rouge to represent 'the State at large. Speaking of this meeting, the New Orleans States says: Gov. Foster's review of the his tory of negro suffrage was admira ble, and to those ignorant of the facts will be startling. Men will wonder that Louisiana has existed and prospered under a villainous system that has elsewhere pro-. duced such terrible results, for more than twenty years. As a matter of fact she did not prosper under that system. Her people were ruined and robbed in ten years of more than one hundred millions of dollars. It was under the rule of the shotgun, the bdl whip, the midnight riders, and, finally, the ballot-box stuffer, that she secured exemption from the despotism of, negro ~suffrages and throkjth the energy, resolution and patriotism of her people that she developed her resources and is again upon a high plane of civili zation anI prosperity. To show the fierce, cowardly and malignant spirit that animated the men who forced the bayonet amendments upon the South, Gov. Foster pointed out the fact that after negro suffrage had been adop ted in the District of Columbia by the sentimental fools of the aboli tion party, the debt of the district had increased in ten years from twenty millions to eighty millions of dollars, and the elections had become orgies of the vilest corrup tion. Disgusted, the people of the' District appealed to Congress for relief and surrendered their repres entation in Congress and other civil rights as a bribe for its repeal. The repeal bill passed Congress. But a few years subsequently, with full knowledge of all the facts of the terrible abuses to which negro suffrage had led in the Dis trict of Columbia, passed the Four. teenth and Fifteenth amendments, imposing negro suffrage upon the South. This surely was not an act of wisdom or of consideration for the negroes. It was an act to scourge and destroy the prosperity of the South and to forever hold political power I n the Un on by a Solid South secured through lg norant negro suffrage. What were the financial results ? We dare not venture to estimate thenmoral results. Louisiana was pleadered to the extent of one han dred millions of dollars from 1868 to 1878. From ten cents on the hun dred dollars, to $1.40 on the hun dred, and an enormous debt was created. The effect was even worse in South Carolina; but we have not time to hunt the authorities. The same process of extravagance, profligacy, corruption and scoun drelism equally characterized the legislation of every one of the re constructed States in the Union. Governor Foster, while speaking plainly and without the least equi vocation, yet spoke in the kindest manner of the negroes. He fully interpreted, on this head, the feel lagshaend sentiments of every in tel tgeut and humane man raised in the~mith. No waris to be made on themagro; he is to be fully pro tected In his liberty, in his prop erty, in his right to work and to fully enjoy his earnings. No hos tile hand shall be laid upon his head. There is to be but one thing done, and that is to deprive him of a privilege which he is unfit to ex eie and that hbe has se grosnly assed in every land and in every period of time in which he has possessed it. In this respect it is assumaed,and white men, meaner and lower than the humblest negro, have sought to represent the Democrat Lou isiana as his enemies: ab opapre sors. The truth is that the Dome crats of Louisiana have had too much consideration for the negro to seek to deceive them la this matter. The negro never has lid a more terrible enemy than the abolitionists of the North In the early years of the tepublie there was a widespread opinion in the slave States that the lastitation f slavery - was a aniand political evil, and that there should be a system of gradual and well-ordered emancipatona, Theme views were first expressed by Oglethorpe, cso nlal Governor of Georgia; they were entertained by Washinl w, Jefferson, both large savoe-b bde John Randolph on his dt -pd provided for the gradual emanci- I pation of his numerous slaves;and, though not yet an old man, we dis tinctly remember that the same views were held by very many of the slave-holders and public men of Louisiana and Mississippi. If the pestiferous abolitionists had let well enough alone this policy would have been pursued through out the South,emancipation would have come long before it did, and with emancipation would have come a thorough system of educa tion and a higher moral life. But this did not suit the communists of the abolitionists, and they began a system of agitation that menaced not only the property but the lives of the white planters and their families; they loaded the mails with incendiary appeals to the-ne groes to inaugurate a servile war and advised them to poison the wells on the plantations. , If the whites of theSouth had stood pass ive, horrible massacres would have prevailed in every neighbor hood-4n the South. The whites hadto act in self-defence. In self-defence they imposed hairsh and apparent ly cruel laws; they mnde it a feloni. to teach a negro to read; it was death to strike a white man, and all the rules of slavery were drawn taut. For whatever was cruel. in slavery during the thirty years preceding the secession, the aboli tionists, the Beechers, the Garri sons, the Stowes and the whole herd of Black Republican scoun drels were directly and alone res ponsible. Yet all this time these fellows were claiming to. be the friends of the poor negro. If there is a material hell, all of these bogus philanthropists who are dead-.and most of them are--they are roast ing in inextinguishable fires. Yet the negroes are told that the white people of the South are their enemies because the white people tell them the truth, and they be lieve the abolitionists were their - friends because they lied to them and in pursuit of their own selfish ends and ambitions brought upon them all the calamities that bcfel them during a haltB century of agitation. . SSenator McEnery made a noble speech; he spoke as he spoke when we loved to follow his banner. THE ELECTION. Democrats of St. Landry; the peace and quiet, the destiny and future, of your State is at stake. If the Democratic ticket is elected at next Tuesday's election, just and equitable laws will be enacted for your State, and, what is better, the venal negro will be eliminated from our politics. On the other hand, if the Republican-Populist ticket should be .eleoed, what can you expect from such men as Dar rail, Wimberly and other relies of reconstruction days? Are they not the men who robbed the taxpayers and sunk the State almost irre trievably in debt?. Are they not the men who stifled the will of the white people of Louisiana by smeads of Federal bayonets and fraud? Are they note the same set from whose hands the government -of Louisiana was wrenched by force of arms? How can a white Louis iana,. remembering this starless night, vote for anything that smacks of the same set? The essue is plain: White Su premsey and negro. domination; aye, peace and quiet, andtraad .tid strife. St. Landrians, on which sider This is no mere battle of fci tions. It is a struggle between the honest whiteyeomanry and a gang of .1oital fe are en. deavoring to return.. topower, on the backs of an oganization ofde Iuded Poptulists, sold out and rar gained by their .eaders. · The Clarion dbes not wish to be understood as fearing the result. It has too mueh coafldence in the integrity and stalwartness of tie people of Louisiana. When they owe in their might and routed the robbers with shotguns they showed that they were not to bl_ trifed with any lebooe, sad there %I ano eiiou t1betlieve that now, when st at the + fdietabh'eat tha~ t ,U0 eteteot R epublican n le have: bee.h 5.11 aw4amy, they ofloeaomraactdares leaute - But Itis thbedat1 bV: ,rtat to'iule., A~iptq ut oa evW bmeat Dulit to g.pa. diate the disreputable de that th eiIorn.drs made, and voto the is th De i te, t be Proceedings of The Sc.aool "D- i rectora of St. Landry.
