the ratification Of the consultation, the
election of the officers under it, and Of rep
resentatives to the congress of the United
States, he who is not for us is against US.
Party discipline has its uses, and only by
that discipline has the great Republican
party of the United States maintained its
supremacy. In the older states, where the
Republican party is composed of men who
have been accustomed to party discipline
and party usages, that man claiming to be
Republican who bolts the ticket because
he or his bosom friend fails to get a
particular nomination is counted among
the opponents of the party. He who bolts
the nomination OF particular man on the
ticket because he may happen to express
an opinion at variance with the individual
notions OF the bolter, is not regarded as
member of the Republican party who can
be relied on when the hour comes requiring
every vote.
The new constitution of Louisiana must
be ratified, or we must live longer under
the rule OF bayonets. And the Republican
Candidates must be elected, or the hostile
and disloyal element will prevail, and
loyal men be subjected to unmitigated and
unmiXed rebel rule.

an AWPnL PLOT.

The New York Express has discovered
mares nest of immense proportions, and If
the equine eggs were filed with nitro
glycerine they could not be more formida-
BILE. The enlightened journalists " author
lied to allude to the dreadful plot, and
impressiveiy assures US that 4" it illustrates
the depth Of mOrlland political degrade
ton which has been reached by the dom
inant party in congress- :" An entire and
total stranger, " not comparative stranger
OF portion of a stranger, but stranger OF
strange completeness, both entire " and
{" total - called at the room of the Honorable
Willard Salisbury, the senator from Della
ware, and after stating that he had very
superior article of brandy, begged to be
allowed the honor OF presenting that senator
with case of it, The infamous movement
was at once perceived by Mr.. Salisbury,
who promptly ordered the wretched tool of
the impeachers out of his presence. The
unfortunate weakness Of this senator
was attempted to be used to deprive
the senate of vote known to be against
the Jacobins, and this creature had no
doubt been employed 20 tempt his we'll
known appetite for intoxicating drinks, and
by placing him under the influence OF
brandy, probably dragged, to keep him
from his seat in the senate
There is something exhilarating in this
style of statement aud of logic. The de-
auctions are SO Delightfully."- reasonable, the
sequences are so seductively sensible.
The mysterious man who called was total
and entire stranger to Salisbury, and
therefore he was "tool of the impeach
ers.' He begged to present the senator
with a case Of superior brandy, and there
fore the liberal proposition was an ''infa-
nous movement. The senator is known
to be addicted to toddies, and therefore he
is sure to vote against impeachment, He
has well-known appetite fer cocktails,
and therefore the brandy in question was
probably drugged.' We pause in admira-
SAOh Vi HuSA SoSSuSJ VI lSh9VhluSs ailu Will
merely add that the Camp street journals
who have published with approval this
story under the title Of "a Radical plot"
deserve a need of praise equal to that
which is due to its author.
But another idea suggests itself, which
with great humility we beg to offer. Is
Mr.. James Brooks, member OF congress and
part proprietor of the Express, satirist in
dark disguise; and was the paragraph we
have quoted meant to be sly stab at his
ancient enemies Does he mean to in
sinuate that a senator Of Saulsbury's habits
will, by mere force of sympathy, vote early
and often for Mr.. Johnson? And does he
also mean to convey the idea that good
old fashioned Democrat like the senator
from Delaware, if presented with "a case of
brandy" would, as a matter of course,
drink it all at once, and lie drunk for forty
days and forty nights We trust that no
such malevolent sting is concealed in this
interesting tale.

NO IL Dryades street, New Orleans, March 3. 1853
The Campaign Committee of the Repub
lican party Of Louisiana deem it proper to
lay before the party the accompanying cir
cular, signed by the Republican members of
the constitutional convention, with the res
olutions Of the Republican nominating con-
vention, together with those of the Central
Executive committee, unanimously ratifying
the nominations of the state ticket, and ex-
polling certain boilers from the committee.
With the exception of few disappointed
ofhce-seekers, mostly new in the ranks of
the party, who having failed to rule are now
determined to ruin it, and who have been
found out and expelled from all committees
and clubs to which they belonged, the party
is unanimously III favor of the regularly
nominated ticket, headed by the Honorable
H. G. Warmoth.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted by the Radical Republican state
nominating convention, January Is, 1868.
just previous to its adjournment:
Resolued, That we hereby pledge our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the
success of the Radical Republican party, and

OF this gentleman, who is the Radical
Republican candidate for superintendent
of public education, the New Orleans
Tribune Of October %, 1865, very properly
and truthfully says;
Our readers were informed by posters
scattered through the city, and notices pub
lished in our paper, that meeting was to
take place last night at the Orleans theatre
to give our colored population and the
white friends of the latter's cause chance
TO hear once more that stanch advocate of
equal rights, Nj. Conway, the ex-assistant
commissary OF the freedmen's bureau,
previous to his departure for the Northern
states.
But he can leave Louisiana with the sat-
isfaetion that the good work is progressing,
and the. remembrance of his work can
never be wiped out The colored children
sent to the schools, the soldiers drilled
with the Norlherners, and the freedmen
at large have learnt something which they
will never forget They may be robbed
again of their properly and their wages /;
but they can not be robbed of their
thoughts. II would be just as futile to en-
deavor to force the Mississippi back on its
way as to attempt to turn the stream Of the
mental revolution which is going on.
After addressing a few feeling words of
adieu to the friends who surrounded him,
and giving his last advice to those who
faced him, Mr.. Conway went back to his
seat amid deafening thunder of applause.
Mr.. Fernandez rose to read the follow
ing resolutions, which were enthusiastically
applauded:

perintendent Of the freedmen bureau and
abandoned lands, fer the state Of Loulsan a,

NEW ORLEANS, March 3D. 1865.
To the Editor of the New Orleans Tribune:
DEAR SIR: Upon my return to the city on
Sunday evening, was surprised and PANIED
to learn OF certain rumors aioat throughout
the city relative to myself, which rumors ]
learned were occasiOned by editorial re
marks in your issues of Saturday aud Sun,
day last, relative TO report of my speech
in Plaquemines on the sixteenth OF Feb.
ruary last.
Having carefully read the report referred
to in your editorials, l find it a most
untruthtul effort in every particular,
and | am surprised that any one claiming
to be an honorable man should have so
grossly misrepresented me. A candid eX.
animation Of the report referred to, as
found in the columns of the COiored Citizen,
published in Cincinnati, Ohio, will, / feel
confident, satisfy every one that the author
of that report successfully attempted to put
his own sentiments III my mouth. A com
parison of that speech, said to have been
delivered by me Oh the 10th of February;
with his own views rs expressed in his clos
ing remarks Of that report, will but too
plainly demonstrate this fact.
While, therefore, Mr.. Editor, deeply re-
greet that you should have allowed your
usually excellent Judgment to be biased by
such an attempt on the part of unprincipled
parties, | feel confident that you will hasten
TO undo the injury you have, Unjust believe,
Internationally done me us well as the Re
publican party.
Appealing to every gentleman who was
present on that occasion and heard what
did say, in a very few brief remarks, for
am no speech maker, to testify to the truth
OF my assertions, and appealing TO the can
dor Of every intelligent, rght-minded per-
son who knows me, for Il full vindication of
my well known and long cherished senti-

WHO COMMANDS us2

When General Hancock was called &c
Washington by President johnson be is
sued an order that the command of the
fifth military district devolyed upon the
senior officer, and he designated Brevet
Major General Reynolds as the officer
holding the seniority of rank.
In the meantime Colonel Robert G. Blu
chanan, Of the first United States infantry
was on duty in this district as commander
ofthe sub-district of Louisiana; it is our i'm
preston that he exercised hi spowers by vir-
tue of his brevet rank of brigadier general,
although be was at the same time major
general by brevet, but not having been as.
signed to duty under that rank. he was.
under the then existing orders, the junior
of General Reynolds.
Army regulations and the acts of con-
gress confer upon the president the sole
power to assign an officer of the army to
duty under his brevet rank. General
Buchaual's order assuming command of
the fifth military district announces that
the president has taken sueh action in his
case, but at the same time it lacks, what in
the present case is all important, the ad-
ditional fact that the president has directed
him to assume the command of this dis
trict. And here army regulations fail to
sustain General Buchanan in the step he
has taken, as they specifically provide that
Z" no officer shall assume to exercise com
mand by virtue of his commission This
is the generals order:
HEADo5ARrERs FIPrH MILITARY DISTRICT,
New Orleans. La, March Is 1863
General Orders No. i6.
The undersigned, having been assigned to
duty with his DreYet rank OF major general,
by the president of the United States, be-
comes the senior officer, and therefore as

Brevet Major General, U. s. Army.
NATHANIEL BURBANK,
Second Lieut., Thirty.seventh Inf7y, Brevet
First Lieutenant D. 5. A., Acting Assist
ant Adiutaut General.
It is possible that General Buchanan is
10 possession of all the requisite authority,
but his failure to announce the fact is de-
parture from the custom usual in such
cases, and at least leaves room for connect
urs as to whether he is really authorized
to assume the command which his order
claims.
Were Lieutenant General Sherman, or
General Grant himself, to visit this district,
he could not assume command Of it by vir-
tue Of his Commission It requires the
order Of the president Of the United States.
issued through the general Of the army. or
Of the general Of the army himself to
enable any officer, Of whatever rank, to dis
place General Reynolds.
We are confident however, that Il there
has been any departure from established
usages by General Buchanan, he win soon
roctify such mistakes. At all events, It is
not likely that any conflict Of authority will
result here. The matter will be decided at
Washington.
