New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-03-16

State, in fact, is the nation in miniature
Therefore, it is, we say, the idea of coal
escing antagonistic elements for the State
election, and not for the national election,
has proven delusion.
1t is shown by the gradual drifting OF
the Reform party into position OF open
antagonism with those who oppose the
election of General Grant to the Presiden-
cy. These indications are not derlvable
from the indiscreet utterances of a news
paper, nor are they chargeable to the views
of any one man. They come from political
causes which each scene in the party
drama reveals more patiently. The Demo-
cratic party perceive it, and refuse to give
up their organizations; the Republican
party see it, and adhere to their old party
lines.
In short, there is nothing in the reform
movement that anybody is opposed to.
The Democrats, the Republicans and the
Reformers, per Sc, all agree that political
abuses should be cured Each of them
will put the recognition of this necessity in
their party platform; each of them will go
before the people pledged to effect it.
Then what distinctive characteristics
will the reformers have if they adhere to
their one grand idea? The people will say,
and very properly, there is no use of our
deserving our party fealty to vote with
you. We, too, are..in' favor of reform. To
this no answer can be made, unless indeed
this organization of reformers arrogate to
themselves all the honesty and all the abil
ity in the State.
Then to have distinctive organization
they must have distinctive principles.
What are these? The Picay,t,ee and promi-
nent leaders in the Reform party have said
that to accomplish their purposes they
will accept the election of General Grant.
When this is said the reform movement
ceases to be distinct and separate. The
reformers become the recruits of the party
they ally themselves with, and are swal-
lowed up in the greater organization.
What chance have they of shaping its
policy? What power to correct the abuses
of which they now so loudly complain?
If, in the estimation Of the property in
terest of Louisiana, modification of ex-
listing laws is paramount to all other con-
siderations, why not sink the partisan
and enable the Governor to do what he is
anxious to perform. He has already
placed himself squarely on record in favor
of the movement. The fact that his intu-
ence was thrown in that direction at the
last session Of the Legislature is undenia
BILE. What, then, is the objection to uniting
with him in the accomplishment of the
object for which all are contending? He
was the first reformer, and is earnest and
sincere in support Of reform. 1t would be
good policy, and would certainly give the
reform movement stronger element of
strength than it can otherwise attain.
Otherwise, the reformers will drift into
the arms Of the Grant party, or come out
squarely with the Democrats.
One fate OF the other is inevitable.

THE REFORM PARTY,

It is not denial of the amiable in.en-
tons Of many good men who class them
selves as reformers to say the organization
of which they form part is gradually
drifting into the most ultra political views.
It has always been the end of such associa-
tons. In this way the Know Nothing
party arose, and ran brief and treacher-
GUS career. No party can survive long or
accomplish much that has not sound polit-
ical principles to stand upon. No party
organization can prove effective, the sole
basis of which is hostility to individuals
Neither can people have one system OF
politics for the nation and another for the
State. The intimate and dependent rela-
tons of the State upon the federal govern
ment harmonizes all political theories in
regard to them, and make our views of the
policy to be applied to one identical with
those we entertain Of the other. The

NOT INCoNGRUoUs NOR DIsCREPANT.

After congregating into sort of camp
meeting what Mr.. Marks has said, what
Mr.. Fenner has said, what the Picayune
has said, what the Provisional Committee
of the Reform party has said, and what
the Democratic Central Committee has
not said upon the subject of admitting the
colored people to that equality which the
law invests them with, the Bee declares
that these various sayings and silences
are incongrous and discrepant. We have
waded through these various declarations,
and except that the PicaylGae defects
line or two, the discrepancy and incon-
gruity are not as apparent to US as they
seem to be to our double-barreled con-
temporary.
For instance Mr. Marks says that we
can not accept of the colored people as
suitable to fill our various public offices
without being inconsistent if We refuse to
let them drink at the public houses, lodge
at the hotels, be amused at the theatres,
or get religion at the churches. Mr.. Fen
ner says that the white men and the black
men are standing upon the broad platform
of political equality, which means that
they now enjoy the same legal rights to-
gether; and as the law rejects all distinc-
tons at the bar, in the church, at the
theatre, and at every other public place,
this must be what Mr.. Fenner means. The
Picoytne, with kind Of foggy generaliza-
ton, rejects the association of whites and
blacks at. any other place than in political
life while it accepts Of the same suggestion
that Mr.. Marks utters as possible event
uality that may be brought about by Provi-
dence. The Reform party, in its address to
the people, evidently says just what Mr..
Marks says, because it atfrms that the
laws and constitutional provisions regu-
lating the rights Of the negroes must be
accepted as settled irrevocably. The adj
dress of the Democratic Central Commit
tee, with that adroitness which is proven
bal with it. says nothing.
The argument which We make upon all
these declarations, leaving out the Plea
youae and the Democratic Central Commit
tee as too variable to be considered, is
this: that there is 10 incongruity nor dis
crepaney between them what all the others
solemnly accept and agree to as fixed and
irrevocable. If Mr.. Marks, being the
bravest of the reformers, says that be is will
ing to let the colored man 60 wherever any
white man can go in his simple capacity
as member OF the community, and if
Mr.. Fenner and the Reform Central Com
mittee say that they are willing to allow
the colored people to 90 wherever the law
says they shall be permitted to go as freely
as any other class. We do not see that
there is any discrepancy or incongruity in
| their utterances. Mr. Marks merely speci-
ties what the Others generalize about,
which shows that he is willing to declare
plainly what Mr.. Fenner and the other re-
| formers obscure by referring to the law.
| The Bee had better read these declarations
more carefully if it desires to be accepted
as correct expounder Of their meaning

It becomes our solemn duty to apollo
gize to Mr.. J. w. Patton and the Demo-
cratic parish committee for neglecting to
pay that attention to their address which
every public proclamation of theirs is
properly entitled to. The address is d.
parish, and is accompanied by series of
resolutions instructing the faithful to hold
themselves in readiness to organize at
once, and under their time-worn banners,
for the coming elections. There is
vigor about the document that gives evil
dence of considerable energy either in its
author or in the committee; and if the
Democracy does not rally under the infu-
ence Of its swelling sentences, the fault
will be with the followers, and not with the
leaders The address knocks down all the
old hacks of the party, puts head upon
the reformers who talk great deal with
out ever voting, and applies the usual
excoriation to the Republicans. 1t says
that the Democracy has purged itself Of
the men who abused its confidence by con-
signing them to oblivion, and writing
their names upon the roll of eternal in
fanny. 1t still further declares that it viii
have nothing to do with the reformers
who have debased themselves by Offering
to admit negroes to an absolute social
equality with themselves; and winds up
by asserting its undying opposition to all
organizations outside of its own camp
Mr.. Patton thinks that the granite stead
fastness of the Yankee Democrats, who
have been looking for victory for twenty
years, ought to nerve the Democrats Of
Louisiana to glorious deeds. We have
discharged our duty; now let the Demo-
Gratis discharge theirs.

President Juarez /,

President Juarez is recovering the
ground which he lost at the outset of the
rebellion in Mexico. Revolutions are gen
orally successful in the beginning, because
they take the regularly constituted author
tiles by surpaise, and because the govern
ment requires time to organize its re-
sources. President Juarez had weakened
his own power by reducing the army in
order to decrease expenditures. This gave
the rebels an opportunity to win considera-
BILE ground. In the next place Juarez was
disinclined to act, because he thought no
doubt, that the disorder, like all its pre-
decessors would kill itself Having con-
WINGED himself that his opinion was wrong,
he gathered his forces, and IS row beating
the rebels at every point
