The Ohio Campaign.
From the Sunday Delta.
The people are turning with
confidence as the exponent and
advocate of their political princi
ples and interests, for it is unfor
tunately true that, in this crisis of
onr affairs, as a State, there is no
outspoken daily jonrnal in onr
metropolis. The Bulletin, with a
record so glorions, up to the mid
dle of last wintel, seems to have
fallen by the wayside. Those who
love liberty and resist usurpation,
search its columns in vain for
those bold, and spirit-stirring calls,
which roused the energies and re
vived the hopes of our oppressed
people in 1874, and read with dis
gust the platitudes aud criticisms
which it seems to delight in
launching against the platform of
the Ohio democracy. Not that the
views of the Bulletin upon the
question of national finance are
erroneous, for the democrats gen
erally approve them, but because
the question of finance, as an issue
in a State election, or even in a
national election, sinks into otter
insignificance in view of the mighty
issues involved, which are no less
than the liberty of the citizen and
the existence of our system of gov
ernment.
Suppose that the financial plank
of the Ohio platform is not sonnd.
does the Bulletin not know that
the radical platform is equally so?
Does it not know that national
finances have no rightful place in
State platforms ? Above all, does
it Dot kuow that, theoretically and
practically, the republican party
is the author and advocate of onr
greenback and national bauk sys
tem, and that the democratic par
ty has ever been the champion of
a hard money system ?
Bat strange, that while assailing
the deq|ocraey of Ohio on this is
sue, the Bulletin is silent as to alt
the other questions iuvolved, nei
ther commending what is unexcep
tionable in tbe democratic plat
form or attacking the imperfec
tions and heresy of the radical
platform. Does it not know that,
on the vital issue of States rigtns,
as opposed to force bills, Kellogg's
usurpation, tbe attempts against
Arkansas, and the general inter
ference of Grant and Williams,
with tbe afiairs of the States, that
the Ohio democracy are sound to
the core, and that the Ohio rad
icalism is rotten to tbe core ? The
Bolietin and Picayune have joined
hands on the Ohio platform, for
the latter published, with infinite
gusto, the slanderous statement
that Governor Allen had offered
troops in September, 1874, to aid
Grant iu crushing the people of
Lotfisiaua, thus seekiug to injure
Allen as the democratic nominee,
while the former, seeing nothing
to commend in the action or prin
ciples of the Ohio democracy,
seems bent ou defeating their nom
inees by railing at the financial
feature of the platform.
This is beautiful work for jour
nals which boast of their devotion
to Louisiana. In Ohio the rad
icals iudorse Grant's administra
tion, which iucludes the Kellogg
usurpation, the Arkansas infamy
and the force bill. In Ohio, Mor
ton, the aroh enemy of Louisiana
aud the South, is par excellence
the expounder aud advocate of
radicalism. In Ohio radicalism at
tacks freedom of conscience and of
religious opinion, for in portions
of the State " anti-Catholicism "
and " no Popery " are its rallying
cries.
On all of these issues, so fear
fully momentous to the State and
the citizen, the Ohio democracy,
led by Allen and Thurman, aud
Pendleton, take high ground for
the civil and political and religious
rights of the citizen, aud the rights
of the States. They strike not only
for Ohio, but for Louisiana. They
strike not only for the native but
for the adopted citizen. They
strike for freedom of oouscienee,
aud demand it for the Protestant
and the Catholic, the Jew and the
Christian—and, notwithstanding
all this, and that the people of
Louisiana have a deeper interest
in tbe result than any other com
munity in the Union, we find pub
lic journals that have been sup
ported by Louisiana patronage,
and that claim to represent the
people of Louisiana, who, instead
of sending words of encourage
ment and sympathy to our friends
in Ohio are using their great in
fluence in a direction that serves«
hut to embarrass, impede and de
feat them.
In the name of the people of
Louisiana we protest against this
misrepresentation. In the name
of the people, we bid the heroic
Ohio democracy God speed. In
the name of the people of Louis-
iana, we assure them that the ef-
forts of Thnrman in tbe Senate in
their behalf, and the action of
Governor Allen and of the Ohio
democratic Legislature in de-
nouncing the Kellogg usurpation,
and in claiming for Louisiana all
the guarantees of the Constitution,
have not been forgotten, but that
onr sympathies and our prayers
are with them, and our hopes, as a
people who claim the right to be
free, and who deserve to be free,
are centered in them and in the
democracy of the Union.

Andrew Jonsou's Widow.
Mrs. Johnson, wife of tbe lake
ex-President, is reported to be so
greatly shocked by ber husband's
death as to be in great danger of
ber own life. She has been long
an iuvalid, and it is bat meet that
she should follow the man she
loved so devotedly into the spir
it nal world.
When Andrew Johnson's life
shall lie written his wife will be
truly pictured as his guardian an
gel. She taught him how to read,
sustained him in his bitter strug
gles, and never asked to share the
laurels he won, although they
were more than half bei own. No
nobler woman has ever adorned
American history, and the hearts
of all générons persons will deeply
sympathize with her in the hoar of
affliction.—[Augusta Oonsiitntion.
Mr. Zepbirin Hebert, a native of
Breaux's Bridge, in the parish of
St. Martin, left his native town al
the age of 15, lived ten years in
New Orleans, and then left for
California in 1850, with about $800
in his pocket, where he became
engaged in raising stock and
speculating iu land. He now owns
a farm of 2000 acres in Monterey
coauty, valued at $90,000, and
about $15,000 worth of property in
San Francisco. He recently vis
ited hia relatives in Breaux's
Bridge, to whom he made munifi
cent gifts, and took back with him
to California a nephew ot his and
two or three other young men of
that locality. We gather these
I facts from a late article in the
j Attakapas Sentiuel, of St Martinz
ville.— [Opelousas Courier.
