New Orleans, March 49, 1872.
To the Republicans of the State Of Louisiana:
The Republican State Central Committee having,
in the discharge Of the duties imposed mon them
by the last State Convention arrived at the regular
period which has been set apart by the usaees Of,
the party for its State Conventions. and having
authorized their President to issue the usual can
therefor, deem the Occa sion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the political situation to
their fellow Republicans. The quadrennial cleo
ton for a President of the United States occurs
this year. The election Of this high officer Of the
republic, whose character and political views are
so important, especially to the Republicans of the
South and whose selection almost decides our pot-
ieal for the next four years and perhaps for the
whole future, makes this election one Of the deep
est and most vital interest to all our people. We
feel that we speak their unanimous sentiment
when we invite them to respond to the call OF the
National Republican Committee AID advise them
to send our best representative men to the Phila-
delphia Convention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unhinching Republican to be our next
President Our State election is also of the great.
est Importance. We have to elect a Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary OF State, Auditor
of Public Accounts Superintendent Of Public Edu-
cation, Attorney General new General Assembly,
and Representatives in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine a question still more i'm
portant to than who shall be the next President
It is to determine for the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo-
eratie in favor Of equal rights or against Them in
favor of progress, education and improvement for
all people, black as well as white, or in favor
only of white progress, education and improve
ment, and opposed to equal advantages for

we have won and go forward or whether we shall
lose all and go back to where we were at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to understand the
fact that all parties opposed to the Republican
party, whether under the name of Democrats Re-
formers Peoples party, any ether title what
ever, are simply the old Democratic party under
new names and have for their object but one thing,
that is to throw the State government out Of the
control Of the Republican party and into the hands
Of their enemies. Our people win also see that to
defeat the strong and determined efforts Of the
enemy to again get control of the State, thing
is the great essential that all Republicans shall be
UNITED AND WORK TOGETHER. If we do this,
victory is certain.
To this end we cordially invite all true and
earnest Republicans, without regard to past differ
ences to unite in this convention and to nominate
such ticket and adopt such a platform win
command the respect and support Of the whole
people.
All good Republicans also desire that our party
SHALL we assured it will, declare itself de-
cidedly, distinctly and definitely in favor of re-
trenehment, reform reduction of taxes and the
removal of all unnecessary burdens on commerce
and trade, and in favor Of equal and just legsla-
ton for all interests and all classes of persons.
