The Liberal Party.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN
The prOdigal sons have returned from
Baton Rouge, after having enjoyed the most
unquestlonable honor of having been kicked
out doors by set of men such as it has
never been the good fortune of any nation
to see convened as a dehberative body.
That such result could easily have been
anticipated is beyond any doubt. Two
months ago when, in view of efecting a
unity of action between the two wings of
the Republican party, conference commit
tee had been appointed by the respective
executive committees of both, did not all
Instructions in the way of coming to an un-
derstanding, of arriving to some kind of a
solution originate On the part of "SambO ~
Pinchback, Campbell and others must have
been perfectly satisfied before the Hodge
had left the levee that the Endorsement of the
Philadelphia nomination and the repudia-
ton of Governor Warmoth were the only
cOnditiOn-conditiOn sine Q1tG nON-that
could possibly throw open to them the
temple of justice dedicated to Ulysses S.
Grant and cousorts. Did not Governor
Warmoth, with that tact and sagacity
which characterize his actions, warn them
of the dangers Did he not give them his
reasons for SO dOingl Had not the Liberal
Republican convention en- nlGSse, before its
adjournment, Endorsed him Governor War
moth as its first choice for the highest Of
fee of the State Was not that a sufficient
proof that all transaction, all fusion with
Imperialism and Capitalization, had become
an impossibility What, in the name of
common sense, could have induced Mr..
Pinchbaek to visit Baton Rouge We all
know be is Grant man, but did he not
commit himself to Governor Warmoth by
the unanimous vote of the convention Is

They have returned-Welcome to them.
At their meeting, Mechanics Institute, sew
eral resolutions were introduced by David
Young, of COncOrdia, among which we
noticed that of the adjournment to meet on
the ninth of August next. The proximity
of that date to that of the meeting of the
great Liberal party convention, August ),
indicates that some work is about to be
done in the right way.
1t is obvious to all that in order to save
the nation from ruin and desOlatiOn, and
the people from being frustrated of their
constitutional rights and liberty, there is
but one course to pursue and that is to con-
bine and consolidate in one political creed
all the resisting power we can dispose of,
so as to meet the enemy with fair chance
OF success, To this effect have we, the PEG
pie OF Louisiana, headed by Governor War
moth, unfurled the banner of the great
Liberal party as shelter to all, irrespective
Of past political differences, race or color.
Let 1t be well understood, there should be
no preferences, no Democrats, no Reform
ers, no Liberal Republicans, but all one
body, one will, under one denomination,
the Liberal party. We have to unite
nniOn is strength-and do our duty, our
whole duty; there is no temporizing, no
procrastinating, the enemy is at the very
threshold of our homes, it is with us a ques-
ton of life or death
Respectfully.
