slavery he would break his sword and

he would break his sword and
his commission.
But some may wish to inquire still
further into the matter. This question
may be asked: How does it happen that
Mr.. Greeley, u old friend, is now be-
ing supported for the Presidency by
those who formerly opposed our eman-
eipation and acknowledgment This is
a pertinent question, inasmuch as peo-
pie are generally judgedby the company
they keep; but it is a question already
answered, So long as these rights OF the
colored people were opposed, there could
be union between Mr.. Greeley and the
parties making the opposition; but so
soon as the Negroes rights were every
where acknowledged, Mr.. Greeley pro-
posed to bury the Ratchet. He, with
other great and good men Of the Repub-
lican party, pr~oposedto extend the hand
Of reconciliation and friendship to the
Southern people, and that all the people
of the United States, white and black,
putting under foot the hatreds and
wounds of the past, should clasp hands
upon a platform just, liberal and COM
prehensive enough to restore harmony
and good government among all the
people.
Here is the pledge given you by the
Liberal Republican party:
/. We recognize the equality OF all men before
the law, and hold that it is the duty of Govern
ment in it's dealings with the people to mete out
equal and exact Justice to all, of whatever ma
tiVity, race, color, or persuasion, religious OF
| political.
.. We pledge ourselves to maintain the Union
of these States, emancipation, and enfranchise'
ment, and to oppose any ~rc-Opening of the ques.
tons settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution.
Comment on this matter is umlecessa-
ry; language could not be palmer OF
more explicit.
We will endeavor to continue this dis
cussion at a future day, and to urge
other weighty matters that should have
your attention.

THE GRANT CONTAMINATION.
Grant is getting up a convention of the
unterrified Democracy to meet I'M Bal
timore on the 9Th OF July-tbe day pre-,
vious to the time appointed for the reg
ular Democratic Convention.
Al few sore heads, iattefed bv tho
long purse of the Imperial President,
imagine that if they assemble i'm Balti-
more and nominate Peter Jones, or old
John Brown, the Democratic Party will
be foolish enough to do the same thing.
The bestthing such men can do is to
announce themselves for Grant at once.
Tt is useless to be wasting their time in
trying to stop the mighty tide that is
rolling forward to overthrow the pres
ent dYnasty-.[Thih0deaux Sentinel.

From the Alexandria Democrats COM
ments on the Baton Rouge nominations,
we extract the following:
Other respectable colored men were
passed over with contempt. For instance
Harry Lott was put off with the short
term fer Congress, which he did not
want because it was worthless, and was
ANONYMOUSLY beaten for Secretary of
State which he tried to get. AS for
KelsO, the very fact that he was friendly
with Pinchback was sufiicientto put him
under ban. Another negro was n0mi-
mated for Congress- over Colonel Andrew
j. Whittier.
: The Pinchback men early Quilted the
scene of action in disgust, and were soon
followed by the Billings men with curses
on their lips both loud and deep. Even
the RefOrmers were on hand, seduced by
the Picayune with the idea that the
Custom House would give them every
thing they asked if they would only vote
for Grant. After trying in vain to get
their leader, George Williamson, on the
ticket for Attorney General, they left
with a flea in their ear and the Picayune
is now trying to make us believe that
they have not been there and never in
tended to go there.
1t is impossible to see that the whole
object of the Convention is to unite the
cOlored voters in a solid column against
the whites. On this Subject we shall
have much to say III future. Inthe mean
time the duty of the opposition is plain.
Now that the game of the Grant Radicals
is SO plain, tits their own fault if they
are beaten by divisions in their own
ranks. Let there be q complete union of
all the conservative elements on a com
mon ticket and the Custom House party
will be beaten out of sightin November.

ALL OR NONE.-The Reform party,
which has but few members outside of
New Orleans, in this State, wants to
unite with the Custom House Republic
on a ticket for State officers, leaving
everybody free to vote for any National
candidate he pleases; but judging from
the following paragraph which we take
from the National Republican, the organ
of the Custom House Republicans in this
State, the Reformers must go the whole
figure or they will not be received by the
Custom House Republicans:
A few weeks ago the Iberville News
displayed at the head of it's columns the
names Of Greeley and Brown. The last
number of that journal comes to us with
the names of the Cincinnati nominees
supplanted by those of Grant and Will
son. We are pleased to notice this wise
though partial change of front. The
NeeUS, before it can be regarded as hav-
ing planted itself fully on Republican
grounds, must do one thing more. It
still haunts the name of Warmoth as q
Republican candidate for Governor.
Here is an inconsistent that is inexplic-
able. Warmoth is an anti-Grant man,
and seeks only the election of Greeley,
whom the Nears has repudiated and
abandoned. VIII our cOnfrere please ex-
plain how he can consistently support
Grant for the Presidency and Warmoth,
who is a Greeleyite, for Governor?

THE CUSTOM HOUSE ORGAN.

The Opelousas Journal, paporgan of T0m An

Mr.. j. Sella Martin, II of the ablest
colored men in the State, telegraphed
from Baton Rouge to Lieutenant Gov
erIor Pinchback, at the time the con-
yention was in session there, asfollows:
''The Packard corruption, conspiracy
and tyranny has triumphed over the will
of the colored people,. By keeping Re
publieans divided they have driven
thousands from the ranks and organized
adefeat. The only hopeo If the negro in
this State rests in the Liberal Republ-

WHAT'S IN A NAME2-The disruption
of the Democratic party is alluded to by
many weIl-meaning old fogies as a cal
amity, to be likened tonothing less than
some awful misfortune like al earth
quake or national pestilence, or great
confagrations by fire or desolating war.
For our part, we think the world would
wac on as usual, and the affairs Of this
country progress just as well under one
name as under another.
Tic the word democratic and the organi-
cation under that name, should into
absolute oblivion, the same people with
the same ideas and interests would re-
main, a1 the same. A name is not of
the essence-a voluntary political Assoc
citation is not a sacred, or sacramental
thing, and If the members composing it
see fit to choose another name and an
otherform of association, how ridiculous
it becomes in any one to raise the cry OF
treason, and prescription! The word
treason has some significance and some
meaning when q court of justice argaigns
q criminal for the commission Of the
gravest offence known to u law, but
when it comes as an epithet Of oppro-
brium from the lips Of pot-house politi-
clans for what they choose to denounee
as party boiling It is contemplate to the
last degree.
