New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-11
Address to ths People Of the state q


The two conventions recently assembled
in this city having failed to meet the re-
/ quirements the emergency demanded, we,
/ the undersigned committees, have deter
mined to appeal to the people Of Louisiana,
| with view BIT uniting all the conservative
! political elements of the State, irrespective
1 Of party ami past political differences, in
order that we may present an undivided
| front to ultra radicalism.'
/ The action of the convention could not
/ have been expected to reflect the public SEN
/ timent, OF to be equal to the occasion, Sc
/ lected, as its members were, four months
! previous to its meeting, and Under very
| different state of circumstances. 1t was an
terrier to the Cincinnati movement, which
| then was but family muttering the thunders
! of that storm that now. RACES throughout
| the entire land. Since then a political
earthquake has occurred. disrupting parties
and creating a ehasm broad and deep be-
| tween tile followers of Cincinnati and the
| friends Of the national administration.
] Such is the national outlook to-day. To
/ say that, in such a conflict, LOuisianians
| shall be idle spectators is an insult to their
understanding and patriotism. In the great
| contest which now RACES over the whole
| country between honesty, liberty and con-
| stitutiOnal government on the one side,
/ and vice, despOtism and imperialism on the
/ other, there can and will be no such thing
as neutrality. The people OF Louisiana will
] array themselves on the one side or the
| other, National and State reform are one
| and inseparable. They can not be diseon-
nected; it is folly and political suicide to
seek to separate them.
/ When the Democratic and Reform com
| mittees undertook to repudiate the pro
! posed fusion of all the elements of national
and State reform, in one general cOnven-
| ton to nominate State, electoral and con-
/ gressiOnal tickets, they perpetrated an act
/ which, if countenanced by the people of the
/ State, protracts indefinitely our present
| miseTies, insures the reinstallation of dis
| honesty, corruption and prOdigality in our
State Legislature for the next four years,
and gives the State irFevOcably to Grant.
It is against this action of the oOnven-
| tons that we protest; and we appeal to the
| people to rally, and discarding all eonsid-
| eratiOns of individuals, of party prejudice
ard prestige, all past feuds and divisions,
| to unite IN an organization, which alone can
/ save the nation from ruin, and the people
from the overthrow of their constitutional
/ liberty.
1t is therefore ordered by the under
| signed executive committees that eonven-
| ton of delegates, on a basis of a duplicate
| Of the present representation in the House
| of Representatives of the General Assem-
! bly, of Louisiana, shall be elected by the
different parishes and districts of the city
! of New Orleans, to meet at the city of New
/ Orleans on the first Monday of August next,
| for the purpose of thorough organization
| of all who concur in these views, sentiments
| and objects, and of nominating an electoral,
! State and congressional ticket, under the
| banner of national and State reform, and
the leadership Of Greeley and Brown.
