New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-16
Tenth Ynrd Rsnubricnns.

Alfred E. Billings, secretary pro tenn,
furnishes us a report of the regular meet
ing of the Tenth Ward Radical Republican
Mother Club last night.
The following resolutions were introduced
by J. D. O'Connell, Esq, which were unani-
mously adopted, and ordered printed in the
New Orleans REPUBLICAN and LOKisianian:
ReSolUed, That we, the Republicans of
the tenth ward of the city of New Orleans,
and more especially of the mother club of
said ward, do hereby fully indOrse and ap-
prove the administration of Henry Clay
Warmoth, Governor of Louisiana, and re-
pledge to him in the future our undivided
support.
ResolUed, That we denOunce as unlawful,
reasonable and revolutionary the efforts
of the federal employees in attempting, by
the use of the army, supported by Gatlin
guns and tlanked by corps of armed and
labeled United States marshals, to Overawe
and control the will of the people in the
convention in August, 1871 and the use of
the navy of the United States to disrupt
and revOlutionize the civil legitimate State
government, and we now assert our firm
conviction that the attempts of the federal
employees aforesaid 70 disrupt and over
throw the State government and to Overawe
the convention was done under the auspices
and announcement of President Grant, and
we, therefore, charge upon him the RESPONSE
bility of the troubles through which the
Republican party in this State has passed
during the past twelve months, and we
consider him as ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS
as to the means of securing his own per-
petuatiOn in power, and we, consequently,
consider it dangerous to the liberty of the
people and the perpetlity of republican
government to support him as candidate for
the Presidency IN the ensuing campaign.
Resolved, That we recognize as some of
the cardinal principles of Republicanisni
the preservation of the State governments
against federal encroachments and the cen
tralizatiOn of power; the equality of all
men before the law, and the equal partiei-
patton Of all citizens in the rights and ben
efts of government; the subOrdination of
military to civil authority; the inviOlability
of the right of habeas corpus; the purifca-
ton of the corrupt civil service of the gov j
eminent, and the faithful compliance with
its obligations; the preservation of the ma
tional honor at home and abroad, and the
uEiOn of the States with all the guarantees
of the constitution respected. To carry
ont these principles we are ready to CO.
operate with all good citizens in the pend
ing Presidential contest, irrespective Of
party.
ResoIred, That inasmuch as the cOnven-
ton of the Liberal Republicans has pre-
sented to the country the names of Horace
Greeley and 3. Gratz Brown as candidates
for President and Vice President, pledged
to maintain and enforce the doctrines above
and have invited the cO-Opera-
ton Of all patriotic citizens in their support,
we deem it but part of our patriotic duty to
declare, in the contest now well nigh upon
us, that the names deserve the support of
every patriot in the land as against the
ticket representing the principles, policy
and practice of the present federal admin
istration
