THE CONVENTION.

So far the proceedings Of the'convention
have been characterized by the utmost
harmony. As it is composed Of men rep
resenting in an eminent degree the intel
Egence and patriotism of the State, it is
to be inferred that its deliberations will
eventuate in solution Of. political argu-
mentS satisfactory to the people.
1t is significant fact that the first step
taken looked to committee Of conference,
with a view Of reconciling all the conser-
vative clements opposed to Radical ascend
ency 1t is scarcely to be presumed that
it will be successful in every respect; but
it may lead to the healing of many differ
ences of opinion and harmony and con
cert Of action TO an appreciate extent.
It at all events opens a door to the Last
Ditchers to come in aud offer 'food meet
for repentance. But we do not hold that
this offer to these fierce Democrats, who
have so repeatedly denounced the Liberal
movement contains any compromise of
principle or concession to their peculiar
views. Indeed, while recognizing them
as an important element likely to advance
our prospects Of success, we are not pre-
pared TO secure it by adopting their incon-
siderate and violent principles, nor by
making any part of their ticket our own.
III that we consider this rash and head
long party as bitterly inimical to the true
interests of the State and people, and by
no means sufficiently trustworthy to have
committed to their guidance the political
campaign of which we have just crossed
the threshold These conference COM
mittees, however, can agree upon basis
of representation upon which every inter-
est will be cared for, and each of the po-
itical organizations Will have its claims
to consideration duly attended to-

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1872

closer alliance would probably result in
absolute dictation, thus leaving the mem
bers nothing to do but adopt the sugges-
tons Of the bIcEnery-Grant organ as
their proceeding and then adjourn. It
has about come to this complexion al
ready. We are told, in half column of
double-leaded stupidity, that Governor
Warmoth IS not the proper person to re-
ceive the nomination, and therefore the
convention can not think Of such thing
Having established this clincher, the next
proposition is that the Governor is the
only man who can be successful if nom
mated; but that, if the idea of nomi-
mating Warmoth ticket be abandoned, "
there is no use in nominating any one at
all In other words, the delegates to this
convention did not know what they came
here for at all until the PicGyune in
formed them. And now it turns out to be
for just nothing; for if Warmoth be the
only one that can bring to the Liberal
ticket that strength which will insure its
success, then the Bourbons would rather
the whole Liberal movement be discon-
tinued, their candidates kept from the
field and and Kellogg and McEnery left
to fight it out between them.
We confess there would not be only
':wolesouled, but a wholesale 'iberaIity
about such a surrender to a mere faction
of a minority party. No friend Of .har-
mony or reform, of any of the political
virtues, can possibly accept candidates
who have for their constituents, al
visers and supporters such an intolerant
crowd Of taxpayers and citizens" as
threatened a peaceable procession on Sat
urday night with armed violence. If the
Liberal delegates were to act upon the adj
vice Of the Bourbon organ, they would
have to go home and report that they sur
rendered to the incisiye persuasion of the
gimlet knife and the gentle pleadings of
the pistol. That they came to New Or
leans to represent men, and free men at
that, abut upon seeing hundred or two
taxpayers and citizens" on the sidewalk
on st. Charles street, who were hostile to
the objects which the people sent them
here to accomplish, their hearts failed
them, and they came home without doing
any thing
This is just what this last sample of
volunteer advice amounts to.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-06

It has been repeatedly asserted on the
street, and charged through many of the
public journals of the State, that the Demo-
cratic and Reform committees were in in
trigue with the leaders of the Customhouse
party. 1t now scarcely admits of denial.
Acts speak louder than words, and the
political maneuyerings Of the last few
weeks fully disclose that such a state of
things really exists. The arrangement
looks to the defeat of the Liberal party on
any terms, and is designed to compel the
acceptance by the convention now in ses-
sion of the committee candidates" or a
coalition with the CuStomhouse party, by
which a sufficient Democratic vote will be
drawn off to secure the Radical success.
Of course such an agreement can be en-.
tered into with no reference to the success
or on-success Of Democratic principles.
The only object in view is personal ambi-
ton. The CustomhouSe party make libe-
raj bids for this sort of influence. tits IN
derstood that the entire federal patronage
ofthe State shall go to theDemocratica allies,
who will thus assist in casting the elect
oral vote for the Radicals But they sub
serve purposes ofrevenge as well. The con-
yention failing to lend a ready acquiesence
to their demands, will be deprived Of their
support The votes rallied around the
Democratic standard will pass for nothing;
and the Liberal ticket, shorn to this ex-
tent Of its legitimate strength, it is Thought
by the conspirators, will prove unable to
cope with their Radical opponents. It is
a shrewd device, and is contrived with no
regard to conscientious scruples or po-
IticaI honesty. But still it may be de-
feated. The Democratic voters, no matter
how strong their partisan fealty, are not
likely, when they come to understand the
facts in the case, to suffer themselves to
be used as the tools Of the Radicals. The
committee men and their candidates may
adhere to the scheme, but the patriotic
masses will repUdiate the movement. They
are already convinced that their best in
terests are identified with the Liberal
cause. Nothing bat a lingering regret at
the dissolution Of old party ties has.here-
tofore kept them aloof, Now, when they
understand that their devotion to the
party, by the continuance of their leaders,
has been turned into infamy they will
repudiate the Radical coalition with scorn.

VIOLENCE A SIGN OF WEAKNESS.

One Of the strongest signs of the weak
ness that is coming over the Bourbons is
their violence. If they really held the
Liberals to be as weak as they profess to
hold them, they would not pay attention
to them, but would concentrate all their
energies upon the defeat of Kellogg. But
the truth is, they know that they never
did ,have strength enough to carry the
State, and they feel that half of the Lib
eral party was taken from them, which
makes their pretense Of strength a mere
farce. If the Bourbons could not win the
day with all the white people at their
back, how do they propose to do it now
that they have lost two-thirds Of their for
mer followers? If they were incapable
before, what are they now? A party in
such a desperate condition of demoraliza-
ton has nothing to losey and this is why
it tolerates disorder and practices law
breaking in the presence Of the entire
community. The Kellogg and Antoine
party encourage the BoUrbons to use their
pistols and gimlet knives, for it is a good
argument to use with the colored people,
that if the McEnery men can not tolerate
freedom in white men, what are they
likely to do with the negroes

Is not a decided majority in this State in
favor of the united State ticket We don't
believe any sane man can doubt thiss-COm
mamjcatiOn in the PicayHns.
IF that IS the case, then there are several
thousands of insane men in the State,
among whom may be included the Liberal
convention. Any sane man can doubt it.
The boot is on the other leg. There are
few sane men who believe it, and those
few are like the man who told lie so often
and persistently, and tried so hard to make
everybody think it true, that he even
thought it truth himself. Whenever a
party sees no hope in the cause for which
he fought, the refuge of that party is in
Dragging. The blowhard shows the weak
ness of his own cause by the very fact of
putting it. A good cause needs no pufery;
in the sea of political waters it blows for
itself The stake of the Last Ditch men
is the election Of Kellogg. Everything
shows it-speeches, conversation, news
paper articles and club meetings. In all
cases wherever a State party divides from
either of the two national parties, it can
only end in giving strength to one or the
other of the national organizations. This
is a general proposition not admitting of
refutation, and proved by every presiden-
tial election since Jackson's time.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-06

other parties to proceed peacefully. When
Democratic professions pass the Liberals
make no disturbance. When the Liberals
parade the Democrats should be equally
gentlemantly and law abiding. Every
time they kick up a muss they prove their
unftness to be trusted with the preserva-
ton of the laws. If they can not respect
the laws when they are out of Office they
will not respect them when they are in
Office. If they block up the streets upon
Us before election they will send out their
hired police, as they did in 1866, to pro-
coed against our lives after the election.
This IS the moral Of Saturday night. It
IS the argument that strengthens our po-
sition, that We are not safe in accepting
the McEnery ticket The Bourbons have
already exhibited their pistols

EDITOR REPUBLICAN;
In your issue of the fourth instant and in
your report of the procession of the Liberal party
the following paragraph occurs, viz: 1.-THE Ian,
guage Of Mr.. Sambola, who came from the street
in front, was to the effect that the breaking up Of
the Eighth Ward Democratic Clab was at the in
stigatiOn of Michael Carroll one of the marshals
of the procession, and that this disturbance was
in return for that"
In answer to the foregoing, I deny any such
charge from Mr.. SambOla. did not in any manner
interfere or instigate any person. or did 1 use any
influence to break up the meeting In proof of
what say. refer him to Messrs Delaney, Grayer,
Long, Power, L. A. Richards and NJ Tracy Mr..
SambOla is not resident of the Eighth Ward, and
in fact do not know of what ward in this city
and when he makes use of such language as above
he should FIRST ascertain the person or persons
who might have been guilty of such an act and
not accuse an innocent party.

If the crowd of angry, hooting rioters,
who jeered the Liberal procession on Sat
urday night, were really taxpayers and
citizens, they had no greater right to OBJ
struct the public highway than a crowd
composed Of aliens. On the contrary,
a citizen should be above. lend
ing himself to the business Of dis
grazing New Orleans, and a taxpayer
ought to study those graces of courtesy
and consideration which wealth is popu-
larly supposed to bring into family.
The chances are that there were very few
taxpayers in that crowd.

PISTOLS IN SIGHT ALREADY.

If the men who molested and disturbed
the Liberal procession on Saturday night
had not been frightened at the strength Of
the display, they would not have required
an apology for their disorderly conduct
to-day. The Bourbons evidently feel that
the Liberals are stronger than they are,
for men never commit the error Of attack
ing that which they really consider weak
and contemptiJle The rowdyism Of
Saturday night was an ofanse against the
law, and it was calculated to make them
enemies. Then Why did they commit
such a mistake? Because they could
easier afford to commits wrong than they
could afford to allow the Liberals to show
their full strength. They pretend to
a monopoly of all tlse people. That pre-
poslerous claim was knocked from under
them on Saturday night and their weak
ness made them mad. They Iesorted to
the old trick Of pistols. This must stllfur-
therWeaken them in the opinion Of all con
eeryatiye citizens. The inclination Of ibis
people is for peace and they VIII not

A rich Methodist has made donation to
the Boston Theological Seminary for the
erection Of a building suitable for married
students and their families. The idea is
admirable, provided married men are per
mitted to study divinity in the seminary.
This is not allowed in some institutions. 1t
is generally thought that a married man
has SO much live divinity at home that he
will not pay proper attention to the dead

GREAT SHOW OF STRENGTH.

If the Liberals could turn out as hand
some a procession as they did on Saturday
night, when it was known that the row
dies would jeer at the parade on the
streets, what could they do if each citizen
felt that he would be allowed to pass, as
an American citizen should pass, without
being offended by those who consider that
street slang is the proper medicine for a
sick State? The same intolerance that pro-
duced the Iawlessness on Saturday night
was present in the city in 1866, when
people were shot down in cold blood by
cowardly mob for exercising their right Of
public meeting. The Picoyme, which
foment5d the assassinaions of 1866, and
then apologized for them by misrepresent-
ing the circumstances and denying the
facts, fomented the trouble on Saturday
night and is now engaged in apologizing
for that If the Picayals and its Bour-
bon friends could get hold Of funda-
mental principle Of some sort, even if it
was a ragged one, and stick it up in the
editorial room like a piece Of looking
glass, they might tell when their sailing
direction was half a degree within the
