The following Awfully SOLEMN

I'm strongly impressed. believe it is true,
The road to success is opened to you.
In the Town of Toledo. one Of their stores ::
Is packed full of goods, between the two
floors,
Excepting indeed, a small passage way
Which is crowded with buyers. every i'm
day.
The goods are brand new, we're recently
bought.
The patterns are there that Josie has sought;
And many fine styles with Dolly own name
Which fashion has famed to very high fame
OF goods more substantial, they have not a
few
Just suiting the taste Of each one Of you.
The STYLES are complete, most perfect they
say,
And MANY wise people are vending that
The clothing is fine, will fit to a T.
Some heavy and strong, some light fligree
Adapted, indeed, to all kinds Of weather,
And all kinds Of crowds, wherever they
gather.
Their shoes and their boots are light and
are strong,
And really it's said they II last one too long;
Be that as it may, Id advise you to try
Some Of their stock. whenever you buy.
Of groceries. too. they have full line,
Assortment complete, and stock very fine.
Their sugars. indeed, are so nice and so light,
That many prefer the brown to the white.
Their prices I'm told are down several feet
Below all others with whom they compete.
The truth Of all this we shortly must know,
So hitch up the team and off we will so.

THE TRUE THEORY OF PARTY ALLIE
GLANCE.

Of late strange theory has crept into
the minds Of some Republicans regarding
party allegiance as opposed to principle.
The impression prevails with many that
we are bound by the action of the regular
national convention, no matter whom it
may nominate, or what may be the views
it may express in reference to public affairs.
In short, We owe fealty and unquestioning
submission to body Of men, who may
be at variance with popular sentiment and
the rigid principles of public virtue which
originated the Republican party. Such,
however, is not the case. Expediency
has never been and never must be the
policy We adhere to. Had this been the
case we should not have had an existence
to-day. What is, is right, is bad doc
trine. The theory Of implicit obedience
to the dictates of party leaders is false
and ruinous policy. Right and justice
are the twin ideas upon which the party
was founded It is the doctrine which
must maintain and perpetuate it. The
present political emergency give these adj
verse views more than ordinary sig
nifcance. Two Republican conventions
are about to meet. They are both national
in their character, and both may possibly
be animated by patriotic devotion to the
best interests Of the country. But Re
publicans, without forsaking one iota of
their allegiance to the pure and honest
principles Of the party, have right to
choose between them.
It can not be disguised that we need re-
form in the national administration of the
government. The last few years have not
been wholly creditable to Republican
rule This is an evil that should be cor
rected, since the party is justly response
bic for the misdoings of its agent. The
question, then, which should appeal to
every Republican for consideration is
how best to obtain this needed reforma-
ton. Is it possible to be done at Phila-
delphia or is it more likely to be effected
at Cincinnati? If at the latter place, what
snail hinder honest Republicans from
gong there and contributing their energy
and influence to procure the enforcement
OF Republican principles and pure ad-
mnlstration OF the government? Would
1t not be wise, just and patriotic to do so
On the contrary, if assured that the con.
vention at Philadelphia would be held in
the interest of ofice-holders and a cor
rupt and impure administration of the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-18
TO-DAY's CONVENTION.

At the National Theatre to-day the
State convention of the Democratic party
will assemble. It is, so far as the list
has been shown US, an unusually strong
array of talent and solid respectability-
such body OF men as We may conf
IDENTIFY expect will exercise sound discre-
ton and cool judgment in deciding what
is best for the people and the State, and
let personal ambitions, interests and SER
vices await, if necessary, more appro-
pirate season for their reward.
We confess to an agreeable surprise that
out of the hot conflicts of parties which
have ragged in Louisiana for three months
past, so conservative a spirit as is mani
tested in the selection of delegates chosen
to this (the frst) convention should have
been evolved. 1t is an augury of good
that the genuine-not demagogical-
spirit Of reform has taken such hold upon
the popular heart; that the stupidest mis-
management of the advantages Of their
position alone can defeat the true reform
ers. There is some diversity of opinion,
we know, as to the policy best to be pur-
sued; but We hope, even if they decide to
this early make ticket, that rebuke will
be administered those who are again
striving to inaugurate revolutionary strife
and resistance to the law as will effect
