THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT

SPEECH OF CARL SCHOHA
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-18

powers OF government are lett without re-
straint to the whims Of those who WELD
them. l admit that in times of extreme
public danger an extraordinary exercise of
power may be necessary. as the Romans
put the republic IN the hands Of dictator
when the enemies were at their gates.
But even this can not be done without
great danger. 1t will soon create the habit
or arbitrary assumptions Of power on one
side, and the habit Of thoughtless acqui-
essence IN arbitrary assumptions on the
otner; 1t is thus that republics are under
mined and perish in the decentralization of
popular sentiment.
Look at our recent history and the
present condition of our affairs. While the
civil war was raging we were naturally IN
cilned, nay, naturally anxious. to strengthen
the hands OF the government, that it MIGHT
save the life OF the republic. In a vigorous
display and energetic employment of power
the loyal people saw their salvation.
shall not find fault here with the means
which were employed to attain that end
They rested upon the plea of imperative
public necessity.
THE MISTAKE OF THE ADMINISTRATION,
But those who conducted the government
fell into the habit of accomplishing what
they thought best with the strong hand of
power. and of interpreting the powers they
wanted in the constitution when the words
of that charter did not willingly yield
them. However good those ends may have
been, the means were full OF danger. The
people became accustomed to look only at
the ends to be accomplished, and to think
little about the dangerous means employed.
