EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
notice . paragraph in st0-day's issue q
your paper headed, They Are Not Repub
licane." =
1t commences by stating. I'VE have re
ceived from respectable physician Of THU
city communication, censuriug in strong
but just terms some of the pretended Re
publicans who devote all. their energies IL
the abuse Of Governor Warmoch." You
assure your friend the doctor I ley are sore
heads: that any man in the State who is o;p
posed to Governor Warmoth is no Re3uo
lican. but either Democra. or paid By
Democrats.
| [NoTE.-This is not what we said Our
language was. that those who oppose the
Governor are either Democrats. or subsi.
dized by the enemies Of Republicanism.-
Ed. REP.]
Sir-1 am Republican, and opposed to
Governor WarmOth: yes, when he was
playing Breckenridge Democrat in 1850.
was doing my level best to elect Mr.. Lin
coin President l am not q sorehead by
reason of not getting an Office from the
| Governor. nor do get any favors from the
federal officers in the Customhouse the
| men whom he opposes: neither am paid by
the Democrats, and yet am opposed to the
Governor, not because he appoints to office
particularly. for believe there are good
and honest Democrats who make good ci,i-
Gems, and when they are elected to an Of.
nee, and take an oath to support the con-
stltutiOn of the United States, and the con.
constitution Of the State in which they live.
they would do SO.
Governor WarMOth has not done so. as
the executive of the State. He imposed on
her citizens by the election Of men TO the
General Assembly who were not the choice
OF the people they represent. He has sp
pointed men WHO are unknown and obnox-
ious to the people they are sent to. l
old universal suffrage men, the found
ere Of the Republican party in the
State. namely, W. Il. Crane, Burchard.
NAPLES, Rodriguez, BOpsigneur. Duran:
and others, suppose; for the reason he has
deceived me and my race; he, as the ex-
ecutive Of tue State, should have seen that
the public privilege articles of constitution
were Obeyed. If he had been Is prompt
in seeing them obeyed as he was in suspend
ing Secretary Bovee, We would have peace
with black and white, and the Republican
party would he o united party in the State.

New Orleans. October Is, 1871.
If any evidence were necessary, as We
consider there is not, to sustain Us in the
conviction that those who are qca.relirg
with Governor Warmoth are not Repub-
icans, the testimony of Dr.. Cromwell
furnishes the missing link. He has
sailed out as the orator of the class that
We denied, and as the issue is now fairly
joined, let the case proceed to trial Dr..
Cromwell is a man we'll known to the
Republicans of this State, and his ante
cedents arc the facts upon which the judg-
ment as to his fidelity to Republicanism
must be founded. Ia the first place,
then, he is confirmed bolter, never
having abided by the decision of the
party, but generally insisting on his own
fitness for Office by posting himself as an
Independent candidate in opposition 70
the regular nominees. This disposes OF
him as Republican, for par.;sans are
only known by their fidelity to the
party. We have no doub. Dr.. Crom-
we'll will resist this conclusion by
entering the plea that a man may
be Republican without being a
party man, to which We might assent if
it did not involve the admission tia: all
Democrats are Republicans because they
believe in q republican forra of govern
ment Names are either general OK spe-
cific. and the ignorance Of tbs difference
is what bothers DR.. Cromwell and men Of
his sort. Republican, as applied gen.
orally, includes all men WHO favor repub-
lican institutions; specifically, it applies
to partisan who has allied himself with |
q certain political organization to effect
given result, without any regard to his
own preferences as to the form Of pro-
ceedure DR.. Cromwell belongs TO class
Of men who are too narrow minded TO be
because be can not consent |
to follow when he IS denied the right to
lead. Besides, it is doubtful # be under
stands the true nature Of re. ublicaaism,
because if he did be would have avoided
Tie reference which be makes to tie posi-
ton which II. C. Warmoth occupied
when he was eighteen years of age. The
country has undergone wonderful change
'ince then, even General Grant having
passed from his Democracy to lie the
chosen head Of the Republican party.
What a minor did twelve years ago was
as fruitless Of results as what
Dr.. Cromwell, who had no vote, did in
avor Of Mr.. Lincoln. Besides, the Ee.
publican party has forgiven the Governor,
IS it has forgiven General Grant, for it
las elected both Of them to its highest
tfces; and DR.. Cromwell should re,rer,-
'er that it is not just the thing to rake up
n ofense after it has been forgiven and
There is law Of decency in
his respect.
About the old universal suffrage men
rho have been ignored by the Governor,
)urant lives out of the State, NAPLES ,
'olds an honorable position; Bonse;gneur,
rodriguez and Burchard are not familiar
o Us. and W. T.. Crane is too decidedly
emented to be thought Of Then, again,
be guilt Of their retirement belongs more
0 the party than. to the Governor, even
dmitting that they had claims, for the
'arty ought to have nominated and elected ;
hem before now. So it seems that their {
out Of politics is not to be
ha-ged against the Governor, but against
be party which DIR. Cromwell says they
ounded, and to which he thinks be be. 4.
