New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-09-01

| hoodwinked Dunn (who appears to hav
+, been his willing tool and humble followe
from the first) into groundless quarre
with Governor Warmoth, and induced
him to enter into the nefarious scheme tt
/ attempt to control the Republican pres
f of Louisiana through the printing con
tracts. Fortunately, few Of the editors o
the country papers were weak enough Oh
corrupt enough to fall into the pit dug fol
them, and the plotters were signally de,
feated in the July convention. About the
same time an appeal was made to the party
throughout the State, and this appeal was
answered by nearly every parish in the
State sending delegates to the convention
friendly to the State administration. Hav-
ing failed signally, and ANONYMOUSLY, to
secure condemnation of Governor War
moth from the Republican party, they
have been driven headlong into their own
camp, dragging with them Dunn as an
ally.
Now, as poor Dunn is almost crazy to
be Governor, even for ever so short a
time, he clings tenaciously to every po-
Gtical macaw that promises him reali-
cation of his ambitious hopes. Cunning
men have sounded his shallow nature,
and ascertained that he is willing to bar
ter away forever the liberties and privi-
| leges of his own race for the insubstan-
tial, empty honor Of serving cut the last
| few months of Governor Warmoth's term.
For the bare promise of this he is willing
| to barter off those faithful colored men
who have heretofore reposed their trust
in him. He is ready to-day to go over to
the enemies of his race with bag and
baggage, although he must know that
without the aid of Governor Warmoth
and his white Republican friends to see
fair play at elections neither he nor any
other colored man could be elected to any
Office.
The Bee, one of the most consistent
Democratic papers in the State, as well as
one of the most accurate, declares that ''a
prominent member of the Dunn party, in
an interview with a prominent Demo-
crat, said that if the Democracy would
unite with the Dunnites to impeach War
moth, they might dictate almost their own
terms with regard to the next administra-
ton of the State government" The
English of this is, that if the Democrats
viii unite with such Republicans in the
Legislature as are purchasable, to impeach
Warmoth- with or without cause, and thus
put Dunn in the executive chair for
nearly year, they will promise in return
to let the Democrats have the State next |
year.
But while the Bee has no doubt, as we |
have none, that such a proposition has
been distinctly made, it rather turns the |
cold shoulder upon the ambassadors and
intimates that the Democracy will do the
same. And, we may add, they need not
go far to find sufficient reasons to refuse
the offer. For our Democrats are too old
birds to be caught with such chaff For
they know that a traitor to one party is
never trusted by another. And they know
that Mr. Dunn can not, in
any event, bring any strength to the De-
The result of the recent cleo
lion for delegates to the State Convention
shows that Dunn has no strength, and the
Justomhouse ring none to speak Of and
hat by incorporating him and his follow
RS into the Democratic party they would
ecure positive candidates for Office and
doubtful voters. The astute leaders Of the
Democracy are not in the habit of doing
business in this loose way. They do not
are to make such a compromising bargain
inless the case is emergent, the consid-
ration positive and the profit great. But
What answer is Dunn to make to his col
red friends for his treachery? He owes
us position to them, and he makes use of
he power they have placed in his hands
o betray them for his own advancement.
We learn from the country that the col
red people are already very much incensed
galnst Dunn, and in some parishes de-
lare they can never again trust him.
md this erpose of the Bee, which we give
n this mornings paper, will confirm them
n their resentments. For here they have
he positive assurance that Dunn is con- i
orting with their enemies for centuries. l
nd is in league with those ambassadors I
Who propose, for the transient gratifca- t
ION OF his vanity, to turn the whole S
olored people of the State over to the
Au-Klux Democracy. Hereafter, then, c
he ballot will fall from their hands, and G
ne hoe be substituted for it. When the COL /
red people are ready to go back into /
lavery, with all its horrors, they will j
pillow Dunn, Carter, Casey, Wilson, S
ewell, Walsh and that sort, into the t
amp Of the enemy. The Bee NAV well K
urn the cold shoulder on such crowd. q
pr it has the sagacity to see that they L
ring with them no strength, but posi-
We addition to the army of ofice-seekers. t
