opinion, and in no inconsiderable degre,

That such men should come together il
a grand mass meeting to indorse the Lib

OF good results. Itshows that all parties
are opposed to the nepotism and politica.
corruptions that distinguish our national
government; and the necessity felt SC
generally Of committing the affairs of the
nation to statesman instead of a rough
and uncouth soldier All feel that under
the administration of President Grant the
patronage Of the government has been
used for peeuniary and private advance
ment. The power of appointment has
been employed not for the nations int
rest, but for private enolument and for a
family connection almost as numerous as
the locusts Of Egypt. The civil service has
grown corrupt, and federal aggressions
upon the rights Of the States opens a new
and hitherto impossible feature of consti-
tutional history. The right Of suffrage
has been denied to Inany of our best citi-
zens, and amnesty for political offenses is
held in allegiance as if our government
were Kingdom OF a despotisn. The
national honor has been degraded by
cowardly succumbing to the buster of
England and insidiously entrapping the
Congress Of the country into furthering
the interests Of speculations, of which the
President himself was chief party in in
terest.
Under such circumstances it is not sur
prising that the Democrats of New Or
leans unite in liberal movement to re-
store pure administration to the coun-
try. They perceive the impoicy of put
ting out an exclusively Democratic ticket,
lest this object be defeated by dividing the
conservative element, now happily COM
posed Of all the parties, and prefer to have
an honest President than run the risk of
continuing the present administration in
power. Hence, their Endorsement of
Greeley and Brown was enthusiastic and
hearty, and was significant Of how the
Democratic suffrage of Louisiana viii be
cast at the coming election.
If any doubt has been entertained on
the question heretofore, it may now be
dispelled. Louisiana has no more enthu-
siastic supporters of Greeley and Brown
than the Democrats of this city. There
may be scattering opposition, certainly,
but it is chiefly composed of sore-heads
and offce-seekers. The staunch and re-
liable masses, and the leaders Of the party,
are for the Cincinnati nominees.

The magnanimity Of the ex-Emperor OF
the French in assuming to himself the
responsibility of the surrender Of Sedan,
is something to which our transatlantic
heroism scarcely furnishes as example. 1t
is made at most critical period, when his
popularity was hourly on the increase,
and the probability of his restoration far
from speculation. The fact that such an
admission might do him harm has had no
influence to restrain the utterance. He
saw distinguished General unjustly cen
sured-an unfaltering friend assuming a
responsibility which he should incur, and
with true manliness, he comes forward to
his relief In view of such characteristics
it is no wonder the Napoleons are almost
idolized by the warlike French.

The Pic went into doubIe-Ieaded enthu-
siasm yesterday afternoon because Messrs.
Randell Hunt and Charles NJ. Conrad de-
clared they did not intend to address the
Greeley and Brown ratification meeting.
1t does not deign to inform us who &C.
cused them Of any such wicked design,
nor even if they received an invitation to
do so from the managers But the Pics
patent attempt to throw cold water upon
the affair was as weak and futile as its
many other devices against the public
good. After gazing at the immense jam
in the st. Charles Theatre last night, does
it think its weak device kept single in
dividual from attending?

right; neither have they descended to them
by inheritance. This attempt, therefore,
Of arrogant dietation by the few partisan
journals alluded to is simply ridiculous.
1t is a movement that has not and can not
obtain the concurrence of the people, and
the sooner it is abandoned the better it
will prove for all parties.
What is most needed in the present
emergency is coalition, and this we must
have if the opposition is successful. All
persons who reflect sensibly on the situa-
ton perceive it. It is the dictate Of patri-
otism and genuine love Of country.

AS the tariff question is now in the
hands of the people, having been taken
out of the keeping Of the politicians by
the Cincinnati platform, candidates will
have to stand upon their own opinions in
the next election for congressman. Each
aspirant will have to stand upon his own
merits, and every district viii be called
directly to decide for itself what it wants.
If sugar and rice are to be protected with
pig iron and cotton shirtings, the people
Of Louisiana had better be looking about
for capable men to attend to her interests
in that respect

TIE RATIFICATION MEETING.

In another part Of this issue will be
found full report of the ratification
meeting at the st. Charles Theatre last
night. Vast in numbers and brilliant in
success, il will undoubtedly constitute one
of the most cheering episodes of the cam
paign 1t was not composed Of the polit-
ical friends of the Cincinnati nominees,
but Of Democrats-m who have stood
in bitter opposition to the political prin-
ciples these candidates have advocated all
their lives; but men who from love of
country and correct conception Of the
necessities Of the times have sunk the par
tisan IN the patriot. Nor was it merely a
meeting Of a few dissatisfied Democrats.
They constituted the representative ele-
ment Of that party, and the enthusiasm Of
the masses showed how heartily the senti-
naents Of the leaders were indorsed. Nor
we're they men likely to be deluded by
false hopes and gratuitous promises. But
they were those who give tone to public

THE RESPONSIBILITY PTXED.

The address to the Republicans of Lou
isiana, published to-day by authority Of
the regular State Committee, shows three
things beyond q doubt or cavil: First,
that majority of the Packard committee
have deliberately ignored the expressed
will of their own convention; second, that
they do not desire harmony in the Repub-
lican party, fearing to risk the overthrow
of their own selfish schems; and thirdly,
that the consequences of the schism, be
they never SO lamentable, Will be wholly
and solely due to the malign influences
which Grants ofice-hoIders have exerted
in our purely local affairs. The cores
pondence and official proceedings furnish
food for the serious reflection of every
Louisiana Republican.

THE CONVENTION OF TUESDAY MEX.

I'LL GON NhNIlUh VI TUESDAY NEAII
Yesterday the Republicans of the va
rious city wards were engaged in selecting
delegates to the State convention, which
will assemble in Mechanics Institute on
Tuesday, May %, at twelve o'clock NJ
At the various polls the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed among the friends Of rival
candidates, and, for a primary election,
the vote cast was exceptionally large-in
both Of these respects showing a marked
contrast to the election of delegates to
Marshal Packard's recent fasco.
In the parishes a similar earnest effort
to send to this important Republican
gathering able and really, representative
men was made, and, so far as the lists
have come to hand, they give assurance
that this will prove the most talented and
respectable Republican convention ever
held in Louisiana. The character and
standing of the delegates will prove, too,
that the solidity and responsibility of our
party ignore the Customhouse-G Calling
gun crowd altogether, and acknowledge
allegiance only to the committee of which
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback is the
head.
There will many important matters
come before the convention for their most
serious consideration, foremost of which
is the necessity for State reforms. to which
the administration party stands pledged.
In our next issue we shall properly en-
large upon its duties and the needs of the
party.

DISHONESTY IN POLITICAL ARGUMENT.

DISHONESTY IN POLITICAL ARGUMENT.
The difference between demagoguery
and patriotism was plainly established in
the Citizens Guard yesterday The lead
ing editorial directly denounced Mr..
Greeley for being in favor Of a protective
tariff, while the argument of the article
opposed his election because it would re-
suit in free trade. That is, the friends of
low tariff were told that they could not
support the Cincinnati nominations be-
cause Mr.. Greeley was a protectionist,
while the friends Of a protective tariff were
told that they could not support Greeley
because he was running on free trade
platform. This is sheer demagoguery, as
any honest man must concede. But this
is not the most vicious feature in the arti-
Gle to which we allude, as will be appa-
rent when it is understood that it neither
represents the position of the candidate
nor that Of the platform. It's downright
dishonesty is worse than its equiVocation
The Cincinnati platform distinctly says
that the people must decide for themselves
what sort Of a tariff they desire, If they

The Picayome thinks that Greeley and
Rochefort are striking examples Of how
unequally the good things Of the world
are distributed. For being Liberal Re
publican Greeley is to be made President
and for being Radical Republican Roche
fort is to be sent to the penal colony Of
New Caledonia. Just So Penal punish
ment of some description is likely to be
the fate of all Radical Republicans.

elect representatives in favor Of a revenue
tariff, that is the sort of tariff they
will get; if they elect representa-
tives in favor of protective tariff,
that is the sort of tariff they will
get Mr.. Greeley has been lifelong
friend of protection, and Louisiana has
always had the benefit of his endeavors in
the shape of protective tariff on her
sugar and rice. Governor Brown is op-
posed to a protective tariff, and the West
has ever supported him because it had no
special interest of that sort to be encour-
aged. But as the question is not one for
them to decide, however, they are both
committed to platform at present that
submits the matter to those who are the
proper parties to decide it. If Congress
reduces the tariff to a revenue standard,
Mr.. Greeley will sign the bill; if Congress
insists on retaining the main features Of
the present law, Mr.. Brown will accept the
will of the people in that respect. AS
Senator Sumner distinctly afirms, the
Cincinnati platform contains the only posi-
tive and honest declaration that has been
made in relation to the tariff for years; and
this is fully demonstrated by the dema-
goguery and dishonesty to which it puts
the Citizens Guard in its arguments rela-
tive thereto When the people appreciate
the fact that they are being cheated con-
corning very plain matter, they may be
satisfied that their best policy is to dis
trust the men who cheat them.

When Colonel EwelI, of the confederate
service, announces his intention to sup
port General Grant, then the Customhouse
organs declare that the rebels are rallying
to Grant; but when General Beauregard
says he intends to support Mr. Greeley,
the Customhouse organs declare that
Greeley is going to the rebels. Why
does this road fezk SO differently in these
two cases

The Democratic party is not likely to
accept the reasons of the "New York
World for its opposition to the Liberal
Republican candidates The principles
set forth in the Cincinnati platform are ex-
cellent, it admits, and the policy indicated
it can find no objection to; but it don't like
Mr.. Greeley for the reason he disliked Mr..
Seymour, and said some abusive things
about him in 1868. But admitting this
grave charge of the Worlds, does that IN
fit Mr.. Greeley for the Presidency or inn
ply that he will not faithfully carry out
the principles he has accepted? We think
not. Mr.. Greeley, all will admit, is hon
est, patriotic and sincere, and if he has
been a lifelong opposer of Democratic
measures, it does not argue that he is the
personal enemy of Democrats, We can
furnish examples to the contrary. The
Bee and Picagune for instance, have for
nearly half century bitterly opposed
Democrats, but now they have topped oUer
and profess to be the peculiar and only re-
liable opponents of that doctrine. Indeed
they outstrip the old elders of the Demo
cratic church in fierce championship of
its principles. In view of such a CONVEX
sion the Democrats should not lose faith in
Greeley.

The opinion is expressed by Senator
Robertson, the chairman of the Commit
tee on Political Disabilities, that a general
amnesty bill will pass Congress before the
close of the present session. If nothing
more was accomplished by the Cincin-
natl convention, this much at least has
been forced from our rulers. But for the
enthusiasm accompanying this demand
for justice to the South, the right of politi-
cal suffrage for our distinguished Southern
leaders would never have been entertained
for moment. But, like the removal of
Casey it was found to be political neces-
sity. Anything now to conciliate the
Southern States is the policy at Washing
ton. How much dependence is to be mt
in this forced justice to our people is .
matter of speculation. No doubt tbe
Citizens Guard will hold it I'D as a con-
sPicuQus example Of executive clemency.
