Martinet, does not extend much encouragement to its new allies, the planters. Martinet is a Republican because he believes that party offers more • protection, to his race, and he is too smart not to know how much love the sugar-teats have for the negro—and Martinet knows also that should a Republican president be elected, the planter, in his usual fondness for good things, will come in for the biggest share of the offices. The Crusader is happy over the election in other States, but listen to what it says about Louisiana: But how about Louisiana? What shall wc call it? We know frauds Have been committed; but have the **saccharine Republicans kept their word and have they seen that three, two or even one Republican was elected to Congress? Have they clone their duty, their whole duty?Emphatically we ray, noJ If not a single Republican is returned elected from this State, the “Lily Whites cannot shake off from their sholders all responsibility.Their mistakes, their shortcomings hare been many, but we cannot go into the subject today. When all the returns are in and wc have heard from our correspondents in the parishes, we shall make an analysis of the votes cast and of the causes that led to the discomfiture of our “New Republicans.To the following taken from the same paper we would call tlic attention of some of our white Republican friends, who hope to see the Republican Congress unseat Mr. Price, who was beyond all doubt, fairly elected;As the Daily Crusader predicted yeiter-scupilwtltlBhtitcfchbg'terday, the great Republican victory is moreIESitiV\aTththan the defeat of the Democracy simply; it is the beginnig of a Republican era that will eventually destroy its twin monster, “white supremacy.The handwriting on the wall is plain.The House of the next Congress will thoroughly investigate lynching rtnd its causes in !
