New Orleans, March h. 1872
| To the Republicans of the State of Louisiana:
| The Republican State Central Committee having
in the discharge of the duties imposed upon them
by the last State Convention arrived at the regular
period which has been get apart by the usages of
| the party for its State Conventions, and having
authorized their President to issue the usual call
therefor, deem the occa sion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the political situation to
their fellow Republicans. The quadrennial cleo
ton for 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 polit
lea fate for the four years and perhaps for the
whole future. makes this election 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 cali of the
National Republican Committee, and advise them
to send our best representative to the Phila-
delphia Convention, to help in selecting tried,
true and uniinching Republican to be next
President. Our State election is also of the great
est Importance. We have to elect a Governor
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary CT State. Auditor
Of Public Accounts, Superin tendent 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 DE the next President
It is to determine for the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo-
cratic in favor of equal rights, against Them il
favor o. progress, education and improvement for
al people black well white Or in favor
only of white progress, education and improve
ment, and opposed to equal advantages for
the black people; whether we shall retain all that
we have won and go forward, or whether We shall
lose all and go back to where we were at the close
OF the
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 other title what
ever, are simply the old Democratic party under
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 will also see that to
defeat the strong and determiGed efforts of the
enemy TO again get control of the State, one 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
ence5. to unite in this convention and to nominate
such ticket and adopt such platform will
command the respect and support of the whole
people.
AL good Republicans also desire that our party
shall. We assured it will declare itself de-
cidedy distinctly and definitely i'll favor of
trenchment, reform, reduction of taxes and the
removal of all unnecessary burdens commerce
and trade, and in favor of equal and Just leg;sla
ton for all interests and all classes OF persons.
By order of the committee.
P.B. S. PINCHBACK,
President.
