New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-11-23
THE NEW ORLEANS TRIBUNE.

We beg to extend cordial welcome to
our confrere in the Republican cause, the
New Orleans Tribune, which appeared on
Sunday morning, after a six months sus-
pension. The general ends, which il
pledges itselfto promote are those to which
we shall address ourselves at all times, and
we trust this common aspiration of the two
journals may serve to awaken that genial
fraternal feeling, which, it is to be deplored,
has not always been shared by many OF
those in our midst, who are persuaded by
the same general political faith. Louisi-
ana demands great fservice at Republican
hands, for her needs are stringent. She
must be re-established in fact as well as in
name.
The national government has done much
in her behalf to bring her out of the slough
in which faetious hands left her upon the
surrender; and it behooves us all as good
citizens to exhibit grateful sense of this
succor whatever, our political sympathies.
1t is especially incumbent upon those who
announce themselves as Republicans with
in the borders OF our State to discomfort
ance all vicious dissensions in their own
ranks, and thus disparage the credit of the
party. We confidently rely upon the
Tribune to assist this object. The partisan
who embarrasses the purposes of hrs ranks
by ungenerous cavils and personal stric-
lures and ignores the importance of align
ing himself squarely with those ranks
in accomplishing the greatest possible good
for the whole people, is practically enlisted
with the adverse party, and to it alone
affords aid and comfort. In our conduct of
this paper, we shall forbear to indulge
mere personal prejudiees, and remember
that brotherhood which common political
ambition for the welfare OF Louisiana SEALS
We shall not arraign the Democrat, but
what We conceive to be the heresies of the
Democrat. We shall assail no Republican
upon a personal basis, but simply upon
grounds-sbould such be exhibited of dis
affection to the platform he assumes to pro-
fess with ourselves. Where we may err
ourselves, we shall recognize no less LA
bility to rebuke. ---.....
We shall direct our unremitting efforts to
the welcome of enterprise and capital to
our sluggish State-to the cultivation Of
those political amenities which may assare
sterling quiet through the State, and to the
advancement of sound Republican tenets.
This we conceive to be our immediate mis-
sion, and we shall scrupulously observe it.
We congratulate the Republicans of Loui-
siana that the Tribune proposes to labor
with us TO this end. Let us, as a people,
deserve the cheer and promise which the
scheme Of reconstruction has so fully in
vited

Hon. George NJ. Wicklife, State Auditor
addressed the Third Ward Club on Satur-
day evening. He was very severe on the
men who obtained Office by negro votes,
and then went back on the negro. He
said that many of the negroes themselves
were engaged in the plot, to sell out the
black man, and he was only awaiting the
development of further action on their part
to decide whether they were possessed of
the manhood necessary to give them success
in political life. He claimed to be one of
the very few white men they could trust,and
therefore took the liberty of talking plain
TO them.
He was listened to with attention
throughout speech of an hours duration,
and was frequently applauded during its
delivery.
