New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-03-10
TRTBUNE AND TIMES.

Judge Taliaferro, and for those members OF
thu convention who oppose the consutu-
tiol!? If there is one who is SO blind, De Is
unworthy of the party to which he claims
to belong. Both of these papers habitnally
and basely denounce the good and true
men of our party who came here IN the
armies of freedom, bringing liberty and
equality to all men; and sympathize with
the cold citizens" who were born and
reared in the school of slavery, and bought
and sold their fellow men of Afri-
can descent Both deprecate the i'm
mediate election of loyal men
to fill the places OF the rebel oficeholders
of Louisiana: both praise men in the Con-
stitutiOnal Convention who have voted
against and refused to sign the new Con-
stitution which secures freedom and en-
reimbursement to the freedmen; and both
oppose by falsehood and misrepresentation
the ticket nominated by the State Noml-
mating convention of the Republican party.
No Republican paper indorSes the Jdct'ons
course fHte Tribune; but the New Orleans
Times commends it in nearly every issue.
In an editorial of the Times Of the fourth
instant, it says: "Dr. Rouddnes has been
steadily sinking" money, etc., 'to support
an honest organ IN this CITY," ave hare no
doubt the doctor has rendered a just account
Of his sacrifices" etc. CATER such mag
Di6cent proofs of devotion to so noble
cause, to be now told by a political col
perteur like Conway that he never gave
pioayune to help the Radical party" ETC.,
sis certainly one of the most stupendous
exhibitions of party ingratitude," etc.
Let our readers mark the language used;
Honest organ, $50 noble a cause Is
there one man in the Republican party of
Louisiana so stupid as to believe that the
New Orleans Times would call any news
paper which really and truly advocates the
principles and policy of our party an 'hon-
est organ ~ or that it would commend the
course of any newspaper as devotion to
so noble cause" if that cause was really
and truly the equality of all men without re-
gard to race or color? From the same
page of the same issue of the Times we
make one more quotation
"The Bones and Banjo convention, now
lingering through the last stages of dis
honorable existence, yesterday exhibited a
stroke of the most commendable wisdom
in voting giitfrom the plundered treasury
Of the state to the reporters who had the
exceedingly unpleasant and ill-odored task
of recording their proceedings" etc.
e Conventions all to plumber run, from plumber to
And Wickiiffs's shame shall spread abroad, the
Judas Of his race"
The New Orleans Tribune on the sixth
instant said
We can not but indorse Judge Cooley's
elaborate and well explained views on so in
teresting and well-psOvided for speech. He
gees on and says that loyal mems acts and |
meaning gono further than to have our be-
loved Louisiana restored in the Union.
We proclaim him true son and friend of |
The sunny South;" and yet Judge Cooley !
has voted against and refused TO sign the
new constitution, and there are fifty good |
and true members Of the convention, |
neither of whom has consumed One-tenth
IS much of its time rs Judge William 81.
Cooley has wasted in windy speeches and
Useless harangues. The Times and Tri5-
ne are crowded with articles similar to
,ur extracts, and with abuse of the leading
men of the Republican party. The
Times habitually, but untrpthfully, speaks
If the Tribune as the "organ' Of our colored
,itizens. 1t is the "organ" only Of its "edi-
ors and proprietors Y not even Of the men
whom ithas nominated" for office. Every
organization which has taken
my action on the subject, and all in the
ity, and nearly all in the country have
one SO, has denounced its course by reso-
ltions which we have published, and in
early every instance these resolutions
ave been passed unanimously. Probably
here are not fifty persons in this city OF
ne huAdred in the state who have hereto
IRE claimed to belong to the Republican
arty who approve of the TFi6une's course
Let the Free South, paper lately
tarted in this city, but which has already
vice the circulation of the Tribune, and
'hich is owned and edited exclusively by
olored men, speak on this subject:
GAN UNHoLY ALLIANCE New Or
'ans Tribune and the New Orleans Times
ave seemingly formed an alliance for the
nhOly purpose Of abusing, Vilifying and
srsecuting Northern men. Nothing better
build have been expected of the Times,
scause that sheet is professedly Che chief
lunderer Of the rebel cause in Louisiana.
ut better things should be expected of
aper edited by colored men from whose !
eeks the Northern men, whom it now G
buses, and those who were their comrades
The grand army Of libeSty, removed the !
iains Of slavery
