Republican Party. State of Louis.
lana, New Orleans, March Is, 1872
TO the Republican State Of Louis
lana
The Republican State Central
Committee having, in the discharge
of the duties imposed upon it by
the last State Convention, arrived
at the regular period which has
been set apart by the usages of the
party for it's State Conventions, and
having authorized it's President to
issue the usual call, therefore deem
the occasion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the politi-
cal situation to their fellow Repub-
licans. The quadrennial election
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 our politi-
cal fate for the next, four years, and
perhaps the whole future, makes
this election one of the deepest and
most vital interest to all our people.
We feel that we speak their unanim-
GUS sentiment when we invite them
to respond to the call of the National
Republican Committee, and advise
them to send our best representa-
tive men to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unfinching Republican to
be our next President. Our State
election is also Of the greatest i'm
portance. We have to elect a Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secre-
tary of STATE. Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts, Superintendent of Public
Education, Attorney General, a new
General Assembly, and Representa-
tiyes in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine question
still more important to us than
who shall he the next President. It
is to determine for tie next four
years whether the State government
shall be Republican or Democratic !;
in favor Of equal rights, or against
them in favor Of progress, educa-
ton and Improvement for all peo-
ple, black as well as white, or in
favor only of white progress, educa-
ton and improvement, and opposed
to equal advantages for the black
people ; whether we shall retain all
chat we have won and 60 forward,
or whether we shall lose all and 60
back to where we were at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to
understand the fact that all parties
opposed to the Republican party,
whether under the name Of Demo-
Gratis, Reformers, Peoples party, or
any other title whatever, are simply
the old Democratic party under a
new name, and have for their OBJ
ject 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 de-
feat the strong and determined ef-
forts Of the enemy to again get
control of the State, one thing is
the great essential, that all Repub-;
licans shall be UNITED AND,
WORK TOGETHER. If we do
this, victory is certain.
; To this end we cordially invite all
true and earnest Republicans, with

ion OF the Assyrian and the Baby
lonian, because: they had provei
false to the principles to which thel
owed their first deliverance. Tht
Torgote Tartars effected theil
emancipation from slavery in Chins
in tho 14th century of the Chris
tian era, and owing to internal dis
sentions, they were unable to main
tain their organization as an indie
pendent community, and, having
been subdued and greatly oppressed
by the Russian Gar, they were
driven across the Chinese border
where they were again enslaved
The Magyars of Hungary maintain
ed, for two centuries, and indepen
dent constitutional government, bu
they forgot the principles to which
they owed their independence
and the wandering sons of POLAND
now mourned in every land thelone
lost Iron Crown that symbolized
their country. The French Revolu.
tion, in 1892, eliminated in a great
and powerful Republic, founded
upon universal suffrage, yet in little
more than a decade the sun of thei,
freedom went down in blood, and an
imperial diadem was substituted fol
the cap of liberty. They too forgot
the principles that brought into be.
ing their Republican institutions.
Look now at France, look at her his.
tory since 1892. Why did she, last
year, lie helpless, wounded unto
death, the pity and reproaeh of the
Nations? Why was Bismarck en-
abled to let loose the thunders of war
upon her, to smite her SO sorely with
the mailed arm of his spiked-helmet-
ed troopers and the turn the eagles
Of Prussia triumphant over her,
backward to Berlin?' Why has her
beautiful capital been captured and
dismantled, despoiled end dishon-
ored? Why have the art, the tro-
phies, the monuments ofgenius and
Of victory, which have made Paris
the pride Of France, and the envy Of
the world, been consumed? Be-
cause her people were untrue to
their own liberties. It was because
the value of free, individual thought,
the sacredness of each individual
conscience, the inviolabiity Of each
personal right, gave them no con-
Germ. Indeed, our own Republic
has furnished q memorable instance
Of the retrograde tendency of politi-
cal revolutions, or at least, Of the
men who originated and impelled
them.
The American Revolution Of 1776,
was founded in the broadest recog-
n;tion Of the rights of man, yet the
illustrious men who had announced
to the world that t'au men are Gre
ated free and equal, and endowed by
their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights, among which are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness," eleven years after making that
declaration, did, through an almost
fatal spirit of compromise, unani-
mously adopt constitution, recog-
nizing poperty in man. Hence, it
will be seen that We hold our rights
