GOVERNOR WELLS.


The governor of a State is presumed to rep
resent the opinions, wishes, aspirations, and
sentiments of the people of the State In the
absence of such unison, or at least harmony
Of views and intentions, it is natural to sup
pose that he would not have been chosen
governor This is, certainly, general rule
but it is, lie other general rules, subject to
exceptions more or less marked in their char
acter. Presumed expediency may cause its
modification in some cases; or erroneous
impressions of the character of candi-
date may produce seeming violation in
other cases. 1t likewise happens, frequently,
that party revolutions change the harmonious
relations which may have existed between
"a governor and the majority of the people
whom he is supposed to represent but in
such case an anticipation of recurring cleo
tons is very apt to calm the public impa-
tience. On the other hand when governor
persistently and wilfully sets himself in op-
position to the people who elected him-when
not only he ceases to represent them in any
manner whatever, but assumes towards them
an attitude Of defiant and vindictive hos
tility when, in other words he betrays them,
instead of serving them maligns them,
instead Of representing them-assails them,
instead of defending them-a prompt and
speedy severance of his relations with them
would seem to be extremely desirable. But
II, IN addition to this general antagonisn, an
elected governor deliberately allies himself
with q revolutionary faction, and plots with
them the overthrow of the very government
of which he is the chosen head, the BETRAYAL
Of public confidence is 80 conspicuous that Il
would seem to demand cessation Of al, offi-
cial connection between himself and the State
Such is the unenviable position in which
Governor Wells has placed himself towards
the people of Louisiana. 1t Is true that, when
he was elected governor, he did not represent
the general current of public sentiment in this
State; but policy recommended him to our
people. He was in office, in this portion of
Louisiana, when hostilities ceased. He be
came, de fdcio, governor of the whole State
when the Confederate armies surrendered.
He was supposed to be on good terms
with the President. It was popularity re-
ported that he had promised to do his
pest 70 restore harmony and to aid the
reconstruction policy of Mr.. johnson.
1t was urged upon our people that they
should set an example of Cancellation and for
giveness by choosing for their governor a
man who had been prominent on the Union
side. They yielded to these arguments and
these influences. They nominated Governor
Wells, and elected him. They had right to
suppose that, at least he would keep his part
Of the compact They knew that he did not
love them but they thought that he would
not betray them. In this they formed an
erroneous estimate of his character No
sooner did he become governor by the voice
of the people than he commenced those efforts
to thwart the popular will which have Gull
minated in the greatest social disaster that

still, SO long as the lamp holds out to burn,

to be informed, however, why Secretary Stan

sacrificing for it not only his avowed political
opinions, but his self-respect. What is there

ever befell New Orleans He quarreled with
the legislature He refused his assent to
measures which were absolutely necessary
for the restoration Of popular local govern
ment, and of the old municipal and parochial
machinery. Before the end of the session he
had thoroughly aienated himself from the
people of the State. For any harmony of
action that existed between Governor Wells
and our people, he might as well have been
the chief magistrate of Vermont as of Louisi-
ana. With all this, however, we could have
borne We could have lived out the four
years of his administration without COM
plant, and, perhaps satisfied with the lesson
which we had learned But the governors
last step is too much-it places him at once in
the ranks of our bitter enemies-it makes him
not only the secret abettor, but the avowed
chieftain of the most unprineipled and vindic-
tive faction that ever appeared in Louisi-
ana. When Governor Wells affixed his
signature to that fatal proclamation by which
he attempted to infuse vitality into the
defunet convention of 1854, he attested and
sealed the evidence of his betrayal of the peo-
pie OF Louisiana VINO hao honored hlm ABOVE
his merits, and trusted him beyond his deserts.
He knew then that he was declaring war
against his own people; but did he know too,
that he was making himself responsible for
the terrible scenes of Monday last, for the
blood of scores of deiuted and infatuated per-
sons, and for the establishment of martial law
in the city of New Orleans?
We trust not we hope that he did not
have sufficient sagacity to foresee those Ia
mentable consequences which were clear to
everybody else.
