New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-03-01

Letter of Hon. Il. w. Conway.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
l repeat my expression of regret at the
necessity Of replying to the proprietor OF
the New Orleans Tribune in such way as to
add whit to misfortunes and sorrows
already too numerous to be comfortable
but the attack made on me by him in his
paper of the 26th instant, added to that OF
to-day, renders it necessary that should do
so. If his paper suffers from my exposition
of his infdelity and duplicity, he must
blame himself for having provoked it.
He admits, in his paper of yesterday, that
he ought to have published my letter on the
day of his first article on the subject Of dis
pute between us.
Reduced to plain English, this means that
he thinks it perfectly right to violate obi
cations of confidence which gentlemen
everywhere recognize as binding. My let
ter, which l have at last forced him to pub
Hsh, and which he falsely said contained an
offer 70 betra3 my friends into his hands,
shows thatitHas confidential. His treat
mentof Il she that he cared nothing for
that
q not this Earning to those who now
trus him With any confidential verbal or
WritS Communications? 1t would seem
SO. In does MOI deny any ofmy statements
regardi the usiness obligations which
bound mutt ally, and which he violated
as palpab as + did his obligations of con-
fdenee.
Here is II key to another door. Within
ninety days has stated that he regretted
having declped my proposition; within
NINETY days he said that if the partyto
which he claims % belong did not nominate
his Candidates for Office he would break
that party to pieces with his money, if he
could not do it with his political influence;
within ninety days he has said that if War
moth was nominated by the party for the
Office of governor, he would run Tor
that Office himself and that ne
would beat Warmoth if he had to Join
hands with the conservatives. Within
ninety days he has said that she would
rather join hands with the old white citizens
of New Orleans than with the Republicans
headed by Judge Warmsth.n Within nine
ty days he has said that che did not like
this country; that he preferred France, and
that when he succeeded (succeeded in max
ing fortune) he would leave this horrible
country, and go to France, where he would
educate his children as he was edu-
cateda Within ninety days he said
she preferred monarehical to q repub-
lican government" Within ninety days he
said The had no confidence in white men
coming from the North" By this, it is fair
to presume, he intended to convey the I'M
preston that he had confidence in white
men of the South. Is this man to be trusted
as a Republican? Is he to be considered
true to the interests of the Radical party in
louisiana Is he not working merely to
make a fortune and then leave the republic
in disgust to secure residence under
the greatest enemy of liberty on the face of
the earth? Has he ever done a single gen
erous act, unmixed with greed for gain,
which aimed at the success of any good
causeg Has he ever printed line for any
Republican club or any other party organ
ization for which he has not exacted pay in
adYanoe2
And this man talks of others loving
money "ThOse who live in glass houses
should not throw stOnes.n
The creole population, and the entire Re-
publican family of Louisiana have at last
found him out, and have resolved to avoid
the yoke with which he would bind them.
He says that Certain men would never
have been in the ranks Of the Radical party
were it not for the money" That's 50. And
say, Certain men mean to 60 to France
when they get money enough" That's SO
too. He intimates that certain mem
mean to get money ''by riding over the
cOlored mans back" He Judges others by
himself.
Tins far, since the colored men have par
ticipated in political organizations and
! movements, he has taken care to
secure ali tue EaoHeJ tilsy could
raise for political purposes. Has he ever
given picayune to aid them in their stu
pendous struggle against oppression and op-
pressorsg Never. He acts on the old
adage, eGet what you can, and keep what
you get.s
Lest some of the Republicans of Louisiana
should not know the name Of the gentleman
to whom I allnde, who is the editor
and proprietor of the 7Fsbaine, I win
mention his name; it is DR.. L. O. Rouds-
nez. THOMAS W. CONWAY. I
