with themselves. Tie Republicans who
follow Governor Warznoth and Mr.. Pinch
back are not to be disposed Of in this
way. They are still masters of their birth
rights, and they are more powerful to-day,
from their refusal to betray themselves or
their cause, than sLey were TLen the
Gazette said i was necessary to accept Of
their assistance.
But to the text. On the third day Of
August, oaly sixty days after The Gazrhs
said it was necessary to accept Governor
WarmotL and his friends in order to carry
either tie State O. the parish, that paper
uses the following singular language:
The reason why we advise orr friends
against the nomination OF Governor W ar
moth Is that be can not be elected.
Governor WaFmOth, to speak candidly, is
an unpopular person with tie white and
BLACK population of the State. He IS no
mO-e palataJfe to the public taste to-day
than he was six months ago. We DO not
think opinion Ia the CUSlntTy parishes differs
much after all, from city CpiniOu-and as
for tie city a thorough sounding of the pub
lie sentiment disclOses the Unmistakable
fact tina. cur people viii rather vote for
almost any other man than for War
moth. The Liberal movement in
this State was organized Tor victory. 1t was
organized TO embOdy ana unite all clements
Of opposition TO the Radical mal-adminis-
trati0n Is the only and last means Of saliva
ton. It Is patent now that under War
moths banner such victory can not be
gained.
Let any REASONABLE man put the above
two articles together and tel us what he
thinks Of them. In coming TO- a conclu-
sion the reader must remember that only
two months interviewed between the pub
LEGATION of the first set of opinions and the
last, and that nothing Of public nature
occurred during the interval upon which
to base the radical change Of suggestions
therein announced. Governor Warmoth
has not performed a single public act
since June that could make enemies. He
has not weakened his position with his
friends, nor has he provoked his oppo-
nents. All the lights that the Gazette has
before it to-dayit had before it six months
ago. The opposition is weaker, if any
thing, than ever, as was evidenced by its
violent outbreak on Saturday night
Strong men, hitherto inimical have com
mitted themselves to the acceptance 'ot
Governor Warmoth within a month. The
necessity Of the case has rallied one Of the
strongest conventions that ever met in New
Orleans. Cancellation and compromise
is a fever that strengthens itself every
day. The national committee has almost
recommended the nomination Of Governor
Warmoth. The party that supports
Messrs. Greeley and Brown has put Gov
ernor Warmoth on its central committee
Strength has been accumulated day by
day in favor of the very fuson which the
Gazette declared to be q necessity two
months ago, and yet at this late hour,
when all the elements are about to fuse in
one grand effort for reform under the lead
ersLip of the best men the Gazette delib-
erately declares that policy to be suicidal
which it soIemnly assured Us in June was
patriotic duty.
If the Ga.ei's was capable of committing
a great error in June, may it not be com
hitting another one in August? If the
lights before it sizty-fye days ago were
deIusiye and dangerous, may it'not be
wandering in the dark at present
If the Liberal movement was organized
for victory, fits success IS the only saliva
transparent for the State, is not the Gazette
committing a great ofense when it throws
away the means Of winning a victory? If
Governor Warmoth and lis lriends.could
not go with any party that refused to
countenance them two months ago, why
will they do 50 now. after the proceedings
Of Saturday night2 The mob which
frightened the Gazette from its reliance
upon Governor Warmoth certainly ought
to be accepted as a proper cause Of appre-
hension to drive Governor Warmoth and
his friends from supporting the Gazette or
its friends. We leave the matter with
Providence. If our salvation depends on
the success Of the Liberal movement, GER
tainly those who defeat the Liberals by
driving away its means Of winning a vic
tory must be eldresponsible for the COM
mon ruin that they declare is to follows as
a result.
