New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-22
WON'T MENTION 1T.

All the Seymour papers of New Orleans
published, with a great flourish of trum-
pets, the canard about Mr.. o. L. Grants
support of Seymour. General Grants
brother refuses to support him they all
exclaimed in full chorus. He has given a
thousand dollars to the Democracy of
Chicago. The brethren here were in &c
stasies. o. L. Grant must be a patriot of
the first water.
Well, o. L. Grant promptly branded the
story as a silly rOorback, destitute Of every
semblance of truth. ...
Ordinary decency would require that
these organs should inform their readers
that they had been imposed upon, and that
Mr.. o, L. Grant is an enthusiastic sup
porter of Grant and Colfax.
Have they done SO? Not one Of tten,
except the Crescent, and such of their
readers as do not see The REPUBLICAN, of
course still think that General Grants
brother is opposed to his election!
This is a fine specimen Of Democratic
fairness. The organs let their friends
know only what they wish them to be-
lieVe. Every fact that initiates against
their cause they carefully exclude from
their columns. These organs are wonder
fully astute, and evidently think that the
people will not know what is going on if
they-the organs-only keep silent

acts Of violence and outrage. One of these
"scallawags" it is thus proposed to drive
out is Senator Harris, who has invested in
the State more than three hundred thousand
dollars. Yet the Seymour Democracy are
extremely anxious to induce capitalists
from abroad to invest their money in
Louisiana, and to contribute their energy
and skill to develop its resources.
The Seymour Democracy hold out re-
markably encouraging prospects for rich
Northern carpet-baggers TO settle in the
South They are sagacious friends Of her
material interests. They will fill her with
an interpreting and intelligent population.
They will make her Independent and rich,
in the same way in which they have been
making her SO for these many years past.
Their brilliant success heretofore is OF
course sGre guarantee of it in the future.
Who is such dolt as to doubt il? They
are almost as great champions of domes-
tic improvements and prosperity as they
are in the line of craftsmanship; and in
both the world has surely never seen their
equals

fore be expected from it. And the
Worlds conclusion from all these premises
was, that the Democratic party would be
wise to accept reconstruction upon the basis
OF equal suffrage as a inality, and endeavor
to capture the negro vote for its benefit.
But that was before the rebels held their
convention in New YOrk-before Frank
Blair had uttered the new shibboleth Of
emocracy-before Wade Hampton had
drawn up the declaration that the Southern
State governments must be overthrow.
The World does not even now quite
abandon its former ground. 1t does moi
say that the newly reconstructed govern
ments have been formed under nnconstitu-
tional laws. 1t does not look to the Su-
pTeme Court for a decision Fpronouncing
them invalid. 1t does not expect that a
vote will be mustered for the Democratic
ticket, sufficient to put them out of exist
ence. But it proclaims that in the event
OF Seymour's election. " the Southern
whites will cut the Gordian knot" and de.
monstrate that these governments can not
be permanent. In other words, it is a
naked. bold, undisguised threat of revolu-
tlon-a prophesy that the rebels will again
take forcibls possession Of power, with the
announcement of Democratic President.
The eff is well put in because if Grant
is chosen, the World and all other adVo.
Gates OF treason very we'll know that the
swords which these bloodthirsty rebels
propose again to draw, will grow rusty in
their sc abbards.
Let the facts be borne in mind. The
Democratic party before The war was
party of secession. At the commencement!
OF the war it was party of rebellion
Toward the close of the war it became
party Of submission. And now, it is open
~ proclaimed by its leaders and organs as
party Of revolution. If Blair and Sey-
mour are elected, what is the programme
The national debt repudiated; Congress dis
persed, and disloyal assemblage convened
in its stead. Loyal governments over
thrown. Property taken during the war to
be restored and paid for. The freedmen
returned to a condition of virtual slavery,
and deprived of the rights OF citizenship
conferred upon them by the Constitution.
Union men turned ont Of Office, and rebels
restored to control over the States Does
anybody suppose that such programme
could be carried out without civil anarchy,
business depression, financial ruin, social
suffering, and finally bloody war? Or does
anybody who is not at heart vile traitor,
foe to his country's best interests, and to
the welfare of humanity, desire that it shall
be carried out? Yet the Democratic party
has declared its desperate purpose, and the
World and other organs are compelled to

Like the broth of boy who at Don1y-
brook Fair, in light marching order for an
ticipated conflict, shook off all save shirt
and coat-tail pinned thereto, this hero
beckons the hatless to pitch in, and with
the familiar quotation displays his daunt-
less stomach for the fray. But, Battles,
much talk had made thee mad. Never, in
thy company or of thy sort, shall the mill
tary protectors of our peace do ought save
to Tepress the turbulence which thy bray

horn in these times of peace exeites but
mild derision. Goodbye, Battles.

THE NOISE OF BATTLE.

There was a gathering Of the "ierce
Democracy the other night in Mobile. The
Tribune tells of the presence there of the
"boue and sinew" of that community, and
forgets not to fetch along the "valor and
the chivalry." They were there. Perhaps
some of the few colored people present
may have recognized the "Yalor and chiy-
airy as harsh opponents Of their participa-
ton in political meetings not long since,
but with all classes-Jack Hold Garry and
Starch Musk Well--present and miDgliag
fraternally there the meeting was bound to
be success-the city was bound to be
'ablaze with glory" kind of mild in
cendiarism no ways Objectionable. There
was short speech made by that aged
secessionist, but. now renovated and done
over as good as bran new patriot, John
Forsyth. c.t'a rs
Breviy is good, especially with ninety
Eve degrees temperature. So John held
forth briefly. He stirred his audience up
considerably, but considerably refrained
from raising them to too high pitch of
exaltation. This, the climax, the point
according to rhetOricians to be always
worked up and reached by successful
public orators. was reserved for oue-a
