The Citizens Guard thinks General Sheri-

an office as tax collector. It concludes it
also could be honest under such circum-

would manage it, but in the absence of
such an inducement the inference is it
makes no such pretension.

TIE FEDERAL. POLICY.

The vindictive animosity Of the sup
porters Of the administration in the South
is evinced in a leading editorial Of the
Citizens Guard wherein all Liberal Repub-
icans are tacitly characterized as rank Sc
cessionists. For Southern man to sup
port Mr.. Greeley is enough for the pro-
scriptive ban to be strung over him at
once, and all the walls of partisan wrath to
be poured upon his head.
Because Senator Blair, in the canvass of
1868, thought that in the triumph of the
Democratic party general amnesty would
be obtained, and that he then, as now,
saw no sufficient reason to exclude the old
residents Of the South from the political
franchise, does not argue that he
and those who think with him are
in favor of reviving the principles
Of secession. Neither does the further
opinion that the States have some
inherent rights that the. federal govern
ment should not interfere with sustain
such conclusion It was Republicans
who first perceived and denounced the
aggressive policy Of the President. These
rights are indeed among the strongest
marked features Of the federal constitution,
and have been fully recognized by every
Republican convention in the country.
The reverse Of such doctrine would be
the practical recognition of Capitalization
at once. No man in his senses would
openly avow such policy.
To identify the claim Of a State to be
exempt from federal interference in the
regulation Of its domestic affairs, with the
policy maintained before the war for the ex-
tension of slavery is simply an absurdity.
The Liberal Republican party hold on the
abstract question Of Southern interests,
that the reconstruction laws and the en-
forcement act shall not be used to fill the
States with United States soldiers and mar
shals to suppress and oyerawe the civil
power and carry the local elections at the
point Of the bayonet. We claim that this
is interference with the rights reSerUed to
the States by the constitution, and that
the President who interferes with those
rights and attempts to annul them, chooses
between his fealty to that instrument and
his desire for unrestricted power.
No Liberal Republican ever entertained
the idea that the State possessed any SOW
ereignty superior to the constitution. None
wish for the exercise Of any not recognized
by it. But we hold that neither Custom
house officials nor their master at Wash
ington shall control the elections Of the
people.
To vote as we please and for whom We
prefer is all that is claimed by the sup
porters of the Liberal movement

The Bourbon organ very deliberately
puts its foot in its mouth again by insist
ing first, that Louisiana should demand
straight Democratic ticket for the Presi-
dency, and, secondly, by pronouncing in
favor Of conforming the action of Louis
lana to that Of New York, Pennsylvania,
Missouri and other more controlling States
of the middle section. How are we to
have a straight ticket in this State and
still be in conformity with communities
that have no such ticket? If the Bour-
