FUSION ALL ROUND.

As We expected and predicted, ana
AZ was expected and predicted by
every man not blinded by bigotry, or
led away BY too ssnguine opinion OF
the Instability and impregniBility of
his own favorite ticket, a fusion has
been accomplished between the two
opposion sections Of each of the two
seperate, and noto well defined parties
that devide the State of Louisiana, as
well az other States of the American
Union. We ssy noso we'll defined par
ties, for the farce of Liberalism IL
PLAYED ont, and Democrats ard Re
nublicaus stand squarely arrayed
against each other, without any ont
side or irsidious Issue, to draw of sup
porters from either. IndispOsitiOn has
and will prevent lis this week from
giving our views in full, upon this sub
ject, and we shall content ourselves
with repeating our often before
positively expressed the opini"n
that no democrat, Straight out. Last
Ditrher, Reformer or whatever name
he may take, or try to conceal the
cloven foot under, will be the next
governor of Louisiana.
We no not think it necessary to re
capitulate the ticket, which is now
called the FUSION onei in contradistinc-
ton we suppose to the late one head
ed Liberal, though we think that it
will prove confusion to the party: suffi
cient to say, that 1t is headed by Nc
Emery, = name 80 rendolent and ex
pressive Of democracy, that VIZ heard
no longer than last week, prominent,
peyy prominent, and very influential
member of the late liberal party, say,
pointing to dog that lay basking in
the sun, az had rather vote for that
dog, than for McEhrsy." Not referring
to his personal traits, but to his politi.
cal opAnions. How far such sentiments
will 60, how MANY will SHARE them, and
what effects they will have OH the gen.
eral result, remains yet to he proved,
We know positively, however, that
deep dissatisfaction is felt and freely
expressed, by many who intended
sv allowing the SOMEWHAT hitter pill;
presented before, Bit gag and choke NJ
the thought Of the bolus now offered
to them.
We see it stated that Governor War
moth has pledged the new ticket th,
fusion one, his cordial support, and
yet in last Saturdays Republican, gen
orally supposed to be his organ ant
mouth piece, we Aud the extract be
low, which does not look much like it
although j. is true we cannot gathe
much these days from what men ga
as to what they mean. As We re
MARKED before, however. we are indis
posed this week, and moreover tn
track is not yet entirely clear, or al
the nags positively named and enter
ed, SO we will defer farther remark
undtil another time.
Had the dissatisfied Republican
element been properly dealt |ith ther
is little doubt that the COnservativ
ticket would have been powerful an
controlling. II would have mollifie
all the dissatisfied parties or indivit
uals opposed to the successes Of th
Radicals. But what choice has thi
element now - 1t has no love for Den
ocrats. 1t is more distrustful Ut thel
than its former associates. Dem,
cratic administration, both State an
municipal, have been PREGNANT wit
disaster to the best interests of I'll
State, aud replete with folly whel
wisdom was CONSPICUOUS necessit.
