New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-06

The State Convention Of the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania innocently con-
fesses that for four years the Democracy
of the nation has consented to let Senator
Morton force it into false position upon
all the great issues of the day. If this is
fact, which We are not disposed to adj
nit, what are we to think of party that
thus admits its own liability to error?
How can such an organization be trusted
with the destinies of the country, when
one man can drive it for four years into
the most inexcusable follies
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-06

rights they are endowed with by the
people, and the passage of a
law clothing thesg President with
ample authority to enforce the laws
where they are not obeyed; this is the
work of the Republican party which, by
the INSCRIPTIONS tactics of the opposition
is characterized as centralized imperial
ism The characterization may, how
ever, be accepted as figure of speech.
1t is the only charitable way it can be re-
ceived in the face of the truth. The Re-
publican party was clothed with the adj
ministration of the government ten years
ago. The issue that brought it into
power was made before the people and
determined by them. They were opposed
to slavery and decided to check its
growth as a political power. The Demo-
cratic party opposed this, and the Repub-
ican party favored it. The issue was first
made when the Democrats succeeded in
electing Mr.. Buchanan as President
over Mr.. Fremont, the Republican
candidate But in 1860 the Demo-
Gratis became divided and Mr.. Lincoln,
the Republican candidate, was elected,
pledged against the extension of slavery.
His election was rejected by the Southern
wing of the Democratic party, and rebel
lion and secession followed, with their
long train of consequences that have not
yet ended. During these ten years of Re-
publican rule, in the interest of freedom,
tive Presidential elections have been held,
which resulted in the Endorsement by the
people of what had been done by their
recognized public servants. In the last
presidential election, a system of terror
ism was resorted to in the Southern States
by what was called the Ku-Klux Democ-
racy, in order to defeat the election of
Republican President. In this State, the
Republican electoral ticket was defeated
in this way /; and in most of the Southern
States system of terrorism has at times
displayed itself at the cost of many lives.
1t is well known that this terrorism had
political significance, that it was inaugu-
rated for a political purpose, and that pur-
pose was to assist, by violence, in elect
ing Democratic President. The object
of what is called the Ku-Klpx law is to
prevent repetition of this Erslessness in
the next presidential election and secure
a fair and full expression of the voice of
the people in the choice of President.
this the course of centralized despot-
ism?

Jubilatel The Bulletin seriously and
confdingly informs its readers that ''vir-
ginia is at last finding her way out of diff
ticulty, and is OVERLOOKING with the evil
dences Of renewed prosperity" Jubilate
some more, for according to all that the
Bulletin has hitherto predicted Of the
South, the public was fully authorized to
believe that we were going to the devil
full tilt. AS we always looked at the
bright side of affairs, and predicted just
what has come to pass in Virginia, per-
haps the rational public will say that the
REPUBLICAN is not only a cheerful prophet,
but that it is correct one. There is only
one contingency that darkens the future
according to the horoscope as read by us,
and that is the possibility Of the people
trustingi in the promises of the Democracy,
instead of relying on the practices Of the
Republicans.

If the Times would advise its Ku-Klux
friends to initiate the example of the
Chinaman up the river, who simply tied a
disorderly negro and removed him from
the plantation, there would be an instant
cessation in the operation of the Ku-Klux
law about which the Democracy are in
such an agony. The difficulty is that The
Ku-Klux kill the negroes, and this invites
retaliation from the law. If they would
throw away their bowie knives, rsvolvers,
and double barreled shot-guns, their vic
tory over congressional interference and
domestic violence would be complete.
Will the Times attend to the propagation
of this suggestion? We offer to divide the
honor Of inventing the remedy.

Here is a suggestion from woman,
worthy of consideration. She says that
her husband had considerable writing to
do, which injured his system, by depress-
ing his breast upon the abdominal regions.
Her active and sympathetic mind at once
decided that if the man had some support
for his chest, to hold it upright, and to
sustain it ia that position, the lungs would
not suffer. Recollecting her own expert
ences as needle-woman, that the corset
had been Of great advantage, she at once
procured one and put it upon her husband.
She selected one that was four inches too
small, and this she encased about the per-
son of her lord and master, much to his
disgust. Every day she drew the strings
tighter, until at last the corset met behind.
Then she bought o glove-ftting article of
the same description, and put that upon
her husband, and he has continued to
wear it ever since, much to his comfort
and improvement in the matter of health
She adopted this system because it had
worked well in her own case, and she
recommends its adoption in other cases
of debilitated or weakened constitu-
tons as a good way to afford the
physical system great relief, whether in
man or woman. Some object to the
regimen because it interferes with the
natural development of the form; but
this is folly, as the human form is just
as capable of education and improve
ment as the human mind. The proba-
bilities are that this lady has added a
valuable piece of information to our
stock Of knowledge concerning the proper
preservation of the health. Some men
wear corsets now, but they do it under
protest, and as mere matter of beauty
Now they can defend their practice as
one conducive to their comfort and
health.

As a last refuge, the archbishop of
Paris is now under the supreme protection
of King William, the hereto ruler of Ger

rowed down to a very close figure whether
the Pope, who pretends to be a prisoner

of the protection of frigate flying the

In the annual address which the De-
mocracy of Kentucky put forth through its
regular convention this year, occurs the
solemn assertion that the State has re-
fused justice to none of its citizens, and
yet, when the proposition was introduced
into the Kentucky Legislature six weeks
ago to let the colored people testify in
criminal cases where they had been abused,
the Democrats voted it down in body.

CENTRALIZED IMPERIALISM

The Democratic press of New York are
seriously discussing the prospects Of
centralized imperialism in this coun-
try. The recent legislation of Congress
for the effectual suppression OF ku-kluxism
in the South is made the foundation for
bringing this charge against the Repub-
iean party-a charge SO absurd as hardly
to merit refutadon. For, in point of
fact, there is not the slightest ground for
believing that any party-not even the
Democratic, since its failure to establish
an aristocratic confederacy-has the
brazen impudence to propose to the
American people the substitution of an
empire for their present form of govern
ment.
True. the central government has ex-
ercised its power to defeat the enemies of
the republic and restore peace and pros
perity to the country, and this is held up
as a bugbear and characterized as ''cen-
tralized imperialism" but no notice is
taken of the fact that in the midst Of this
imperialism the people are still su-
preme-choosing their rulers and law
makers as heretofore, in accordance with
their federaland State constitutions; and
that the vast machinery of federal, State
and municipal governments throughout
the United States of America is fast regain
ing wholesome action under the Repub-
lican administration of President Grant.
The extension of equal, civil and political
lights to all classes Of citizens, the re-
storing of States to their forfeited posi-
tons in the federal Union. With all the
