New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-30

speech or short address Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dunn which he made to the Senate
on taking his oath Of office gives universal
satisfaction; and even the violent and win
dictive Copperhead does not fail TO Gem
mend the views and sentiments expressed
The impression made upon the minds Of
great numbers Of people here and in the
country by the earnest appeal which Gov
ernor Warmoth made to the President for
military aid in suppressing crime and law
lessness is deep, and its effect will be that
very many who were wavering in regard to
the Presidential canvass will now give their
earnest support in favor of Grent and
Colfax, as the only means of securing
protection to the loyal Union men Of the
South, against the rebels and their allies.
1t is beginning to be understood among the
people in the country, that unless Grant
and ColfaX are elected that Union men Of
the Republican party will not be allowed
to remain in the Southern States without
danger to life and property, and that the
Southern leaders of the so-called Demo
cracy are only using that party as tool by
which they can come back to power to be
welded for the same end, by legislation, as
was attempted by the late rebellion by
force.
The presidential campaign in this State
will begin in earnest next week, and the
canvass will be the most thorough and
complete of any that has ever been made.
Able and eloquent speakers will be sent to
every place of importance for the purpose
Of informing the people upon the issues in
volved in the contest. The boys in blue
are engaging in the work of organization
with the same zeal and energy which they
displayed when they served in the late war
in putting down the rebellion, and they
feel assured of the success of their great
leader, General Grant. The rebel-oopper-
heads are also putting forth all their
strength and have the assurance to think
that they are going to win, but when the
time approaches for the election, about
the first Of November next, they will find
that the people of the North will maintain
their loyalty and endorse the we'll settled
issues OF the war as adopted by the Re-
publican party Let the rebel copper
heads of the South take note of this, and
govern themselves accordingly.
AT last, Brick Pomeroy has ushered his
paper, called The Democrat, among Sey-
mour's Pat-rioters of this city, and such
scurrilous and blasphemous sheet as it is
deserves the execration of all good citizens.
1t appears to be rehash of
his La Crosse garbage cart, and
the blasphemy uttered in its columns is
meeting with Just and spirited condemna.

mails of this city. Even the World can not
stomach the vile and foul language with

and large numbers Of worthy and excel
lent Democrats of the old school have be-
come so disguised with the character Of
POmerey and his paper that they ale
resolved to have nothing to do with the
party that telerates such a mendacious
blackguard. He is impudent and saucy to
an eminent degree, and deGes Northern
public sentiment lauds the rebellion and
the friends of the Lost Cause, and pours
ont his abuse and billingsgate without
measure upon all the loyal masses of the
country. He may succeed with his enter
prise here, but there are so very many of
his party who are unable to read, that
either the World or the Democrat. must 90

in the other as the organ of the rebel COP

Let me suggest a subject that ought to
be considered by the Legislature of your
State while it is in session, and it is the
enactment of a statute for the protection
of game. On an examination of the laws
of the several States Of this Union in rela-
ton to game, it will be found that there
are two of those States which have no laws
upon that subject, viz, Texas and Louisi-
ana, and it ought not to be neglected any
longer. By the enactment of proper
statute for the protection of the birds In
and around New Orleans, if nothing more,
your Legislature would be doing an act
which would meet the appreciation of all
good citizens.
This State has the most humane and COM
prebensive statute for the preservation of
game, which was framed at the instance of
the Sportsmen's Club of this city, and was
enacted by the late Legislature in March
last, and it is well worthy the perusal of
all who are interested in the esprit du corps
OF the sportsmen of our country. Let Lou
isiana go and do likewise.
The school question in your State is ex-
citing considerable interest here and In the |
country, of which shall have something
to say in my next. S.
