to repose faith in the suggestions Of our
correspondent, and shall do SO until we
get contradiction of it from a source
that is entitled to consideration. 1t is in
the very order Of things that the Liberals
Of North Louisiana should be dissatisfied,
for the reasonable and practical pro-
gramme which they marked out was re-
jected by the ultra Democrats of New Or
leans, not in the interest of the entire
people of the State, but in their own in
terest. The desire to carry the city and
parish of Orleans overcame the desire to
carry the State, and the ultra Democrats
oveTuled the general interest in order to
make sure Of obtaining for themselves a
merely local advantage. This has almost
been confessed by some of the men who
engineered the disruption Of the
programme to which the. Liberal Demo-
Gratis of Shreveport were committed. Now
We ask IS it not reasonable that the men
who see their plans disrupted at
the Instance of selfshness ought to be
We know that this feeling
prevails among the Liberal Democrats Of
South Louisiana, for they see nothing but
disaster to many locaR and general inter
ests from the obstinate action of the ultras

the people Of Caddo feel dissatisfied, which |
IS IN conformity with reason and report,

their notions and is at va

cause they have been told to do so.

New Orleans Republican., 1872-09-20

In many parts Of the country the people
are breaking loose from the tyrannfcaI.
selfish and corrupt system of 5nanaging
political nominations through political
conventions. If there was a time when
this manner Of selecting honest and capa-
| bic men for public positions was good it
seems to have passed away. Like many
other customs that are good when con
trolled by proper influences and bad when
controlled by improper influences, politi-
cal conventions seem to have passed once
more from good to evil and are becoming
distasteful to the people of the present
day. The people are once more found
crying out against King Caucus and the
Vaccinations of conventions that are called
in the name of tthe people" By q few self
ish and often corrupt men, who thus man
age to control political nominations and
elections to public office, and control them
in their own interest instead of manipulate
ing them for the public good. This is
nothing new in the history Of our country
The people have often found it necessary
to rise superior to King Caucus and the
political rings that have been formed to
rob them of their right to choose their
public servants; have often found
it necessary to assert their indepen-
dence of the debasing influences
and tyrannical powers that these political
- Z
checked by the sovereign power Of this
republican country For this reason we
are not at all nstonished to find spirit of
independence once more rising in the
minds Of the people independence of
political conventions that have degener-
ated into corrupt rings" for parceling
out among the select few who compose
them the public offices of the country.
This manly spirit of independence, is as
serting itself with much force in Texas at
this time, if we may judge from the tone
Of the following article, taken from the
cosmopoIte, paper published in Paris,
Texas:
nounced that Mr. Ii. H. Snead has declared
ms Independence proclaimed his liberty
ana presented his claims to the people Of
guls district for congressional honors, We
nave 70 acquaintance with Mr. Snead, but !
VIC auIsl!e n s! his courage and commend the
spirit OF independence of anu 9nuU who. in

triekery, dares to come before the people |
and ask for position without being ,l,,s17a5 |

tions of manipulating caucus. ',N -'---''
The Texas Clarion also encourages IN
dependence of political conventions As
now controlled, and announces two nde-
pendent candidates for the Legislature
from its county The feeling is evidently
growing in Texas. This same feeling is |
exhibiting Itself in many Of the States Of
the Union where the people have found it
necessary to rebuke the msolenoe and cor
ruption Of political wire pullers. West

political conventions, recently elected to
the Office of Governor Mr.. Jacobs, the in
dependent candidate, thus totally ignor-
ing the influence Of conventions and party
machinery. The same thing has been
done in Missouri, Tennessee and other
States, and we see no reason why the good
work should not be followed up wherever
conventions fail to answer any good pur-
pose; fail to promote the interest of ali
classes of the people, and become the
ignoble instruments for promoting a few
selfish, ambitious and corrupt men. We
would be pleased to see this spirit of in
dependence arousing the people Of Lou
isiana. They have cause to be displeased
with the manner in which political con-
Yentions have been conducted, and may
well distrust the prospect Of political re-
demption as matters now stand. An IN
dependent candidate for Governor might
give a much better prospect for political
reform than anything that is offered the
people through the various conventions
and usurping State committees.
