rary has learned that what he says the
Democracy can not do they have al
ready done. They have gone into the
campaign pledged "to reopen the recon
struction question" pledged "to deprive of
suffrage men whom they must ask for votes
if they wish to succeed" pledged to reopen
the old floodgates of strife aud agitation,
and to fill the country for four years more
with the din of an attempt to roll back
the car of progress, and to stop the inevita-
BILE tramp of destiny.
Impotent will be the attempt. In vain
will they call up the "colored Democracy"
All the spirits of the Vastly deep" even if
they would come at their beck, can not
cause victory to perch upon their
banners in such a struggle as that.
They mistake the era in which
they live and the people whose
aid they invoke. While the whole world
moves they stand before the country as the
party of reaction Their eyes are toward
the past. They make frantic appeals in
favor of the old regime. Whatever may
have been its exeellences or its defects, it
is gone. The decree has been issued, and
it is irreversible. No plotting of political
schemes, no party organizations, covert or
open, no threats Of resistance, no extreme
of maddened denunciation of the
victOrs in the late struggle can
ever restore the old regime in the
Southern States We know that to be
the fixed, unalterable determination of
the loyal masses Of this country. Nothing
can shake their purpose. The seoessionists
might as well understand it and make up
their minds to yield gracefully to what no
mortal power can preventive steady
progress Of liberal ideas, the gradual en-
lightenment and elevation of all men, the
equalization of the principles of political
rights among them, and the consequent
peace, prosperity, and happiness of the en-
tire country.

A SIGN.

When the advocates of party descend
from the arena of decent discussion to indis.
criminats and wholesale abuse, the infer.
ence is irresistible; that it is the sure indica-
ton ola losing cause. The Seymour papers
hereabouts are in this category. They
fairly revel In billiDgsgate. They indulge
In the most atrociOus misrepresentation
and employ the viiest epithets. Even the
Picayfne, which generally endeavors to
maintain show Of decency, seems to be
falling into the current slough OF foul
language which pours its sluggish and I'M
seemly filth through the columns of seces-
sion prints. 1t yesterday spoke of the Re-
publican party as "hOrde of buzzards and
carrion crows A very strong argument.
that. Well, refined tastes will out, and the
old Latin saw says there is no disputing
about them.
Such reasoning must surely give the
victory to the Seymourners.

The changed tone of the city press in
speaking of certain prominent leaders OF
the Republican party in Louisiana we hope
marks new step in advance toward that
happy day when opposing political
opinions and conflicting interests can be
discussed without resort to harsh terms
and opprobrious epithets, which at present
derogate so much from the dignity that in
dependent journalism should always main.
tain. 1t has been, and to great extent
still is the practice of cur contemporaries
to tax their inventive powers to the
utmost in order that they may have
constantly ready for use full sup
ply of abusive and even vulgar
terms to hurl at those who choose
to differ with them as to which might be
the most beneficial public policy and
without waiting until they can be weighed
by the true and only just test of expert
enee, all Republicans who attain official
prominence are forthwith denounced I'M
sparingly. They are summoned to the bar
and condemned before trial. 1t is not at
all surprising therefore, that the necessity
is forcing itself upon these hasty and in
temperate censors to beat retreat-er, not
to put too fine point upon it, " to eat their
own words"
For instance, every Democratic journal in
New Orleans felt compelled to recognize the
prompt desire of Governor Warmoth to do
his duty when the public tranquility was
jeoparded, aud the excellent impression
his address to our excited fellow-citizens
made upon all the solid, sober thinking
men Of the community, whose material
interests are most endangered, should a
serious outbreak occur; and they 1.-THE
press) confirmed and indorsed this wide
prevailing sentiment. Our contemporaries
were doubtless greatly surprised at the
action of his Excellency, for it SO fatty
falsifed their prophecies, bat it should.
and we believe viii, teach them caution in
the future.
We are pleased to see. too
that our ''carpet-bagn representatives in
the United States Senate are no longer
considered entirely devoid Of honor, de.
cency, and proper regard for the high oh.
legations they have assumed. One Of the
city papers goes SO far as to believe that
SenatOr Kellogg is mot unmindful of the
material interests Of the Sta!e,a and that
Senator Harris may be aincliued to honor
and fairness regarding the Southern peo-
pie, and a real solioitude for the interes,s
Of the State.' These are encouraging
signs, and We hope the spirit of justice and |
courtesy they indicate will not be struck |
down 1t It's birth. Increased dignity ana !
moderation of language win add ereaav |
to the effect Of their arguments VIZ |
would in all good nature suggest 10
our contemporaries, and prove mpcb
