New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-26

The Times sees in the Electoral College
bill, which recently became law in spite
Of the Presidents veto another measure
calculated to initiate against the interests
of the Democratic party. That of itself is
enough to condemn it in the Judgment Of
our Camp street neighbor. The interests of
the country, the perpetuity Of the Union,
the preservation of peace, the integrity of
the Constitution and laws of the natien, are
as nothing compared to the welfare Of its
party. The rebellion was faultless because
it was waged in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party by Democrats, The defense of
the Union by the loyal people Of the North
was iagitious wrong, because it involved
The overthrow of the corrupt party, and
ousted the unworthy leaders from place aud
power.
1t is a remarkable fact that nearly every
great measure that has been enacted for
the public good for the past quarter of a
century has conhicted with the interests of
the Democratic party. We need not par
tieulaFize, for the list would include all the
laws of a political character that have been
passed. The inference then is Irresistible
that the Democratic party is composed of
and controlled by men whose private in
terests conflict with those principles which
are necessary for the well being of the
country. So notorious is this fact that the
people have become tired and disguised
with the unprincipled schemers, and have
repeatedly refused to follow them. And
although the most persistent attempts have
been made since 1860 to regain their lost
power in the affairs Of the nation they have
been uniformly and emphatically defeated
by indignant freenen.
The Republican party stands like wall
OF iron between the Democratic harpies
and the national capital. renewed at
tempt is about to be made to force the way
through the well filed ranks of the nations
defenders. November will witness proba-
bly, the final struggle, the result of which
we can not regard as even doubtful. Yet
the opposition will Of course try every
trick known to their experienced leaders
to secure success.
After hearty arraignment of the Re
publican loyal Congress of the United
States upon the most high-sounding charges,
which are quite baseless, the Times con-
cludes with the following indignant out
bHrst:
snaar - (, -
Democracy of the North will submit to this
audacious assumption, and merit the eter.
nal disgrace and ignOminy of surrender of
rights, to secure which they and their ances.
tors emigrated 70 this Western wilderness,
1--we may be permitted to interpret the
intentionsof the {" great" Democracy, we
say that they certainly will submit to
nothing, not even the lawsof their country,
unless they are compelled to do so. And
that the "audaeious assumption " Of the
people Of the United States to make their
own laws, win not be permitted Il the
Democracy become great enough to
prevent IT, The history of the past shows
that the Democratic party has submitted 10
many humiliations, merely because thew
could not prevail upon the honest masses
Of the people to vote themsinto positions
where they could prevent them. They
have suffered rebuhs and encouragement
enough TO justify them in packing up their
little bundles Of duds and leaving g shis
Western Wilderness and returning to the
palatial mansions Of their ancestors.
