ADDRESS. TO THE REPUBLICANS AND
5s.~E. PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA.
Headquarters Regular Republican Party
Of Louisiana, No. lG Dryades street
F IA. New Orleans. June -. 1872:
/. A conven ton Of the regular Re-
publican psrtys has adjourned to
meet on the ninth of August next
in the Mechanics Iustitue, in the
city Of New Orleans. BY a rcsolu-
1ion Of this convention, the basis Of
representation in the same has beon
doab4ed, and an election has been
ordered iQr: ;an additional ,nlnbe:
Of delegates to the same, equal in
number TO the whole delegation al
ready elected. The object in this is
to afford an opportunity to all the
people Of this State who approve: of
the principles herein set forth to
take part il the deliberations Of the
convention, and in the nomination
of capable, honest and representa-
tive men, who have their homes and
interests in Louisiana, upon ticket
and platform Of principles which
shall secure the support OF all tie
good people Of this State.
In the present confused andstran-
sition state OF political parties we
recognize three universal and pow
erful sentiments, which run through
the hearts Of a large majority of the
people Of this State, without dis
tinction of party. These are:
First-A desire for on honest,
economical and stable government,
administered by representative men
Of character and capacity, who shall
be chosen without distinction from
any official. ring: ..
Second-A conviction that The
interests Of I'll the people of tilis
State are identical, and a desire for
u growth Of new political relations,
which. shall obliterate past class aud
sectional aninosities, and cultivate
that mutual cancellation and good
| will which is essential to our com
mon prosperity, and to, the perman-
F4ept success ii any political party;
| nd ... <....-,. 49, q. 49, ,..x .r.
Third-A growing recognition 0 j..
the good policy and necessity Of a
closer alliance. between the voters
Of the Repab,,ican party. and that
portion Of the native population Of
tlle State ! which, has hitherto alb.
stained fror, political affairs on ac-s
count OF differences, created by the
late civil war. With such q party,
based upon such liberal and bcne-
6cient principles, we believe that
the rights OF the colored people
would be safer aud better projected,
the liberty Of opinion and the po-
litical interests If the e1-Union sol
dier, the Northern. settler, and the
old Union citizen, more cordially
and completely secured aud the in
telligence and property OF the State,
and the rights OF the native Confed
crate Southerner be better repre-
sented than is possible under any
| other practical combination:
In these premises, we say to the
Republicans Of the State that in the
organization and upon the basis
presented by. us, is their sole hope
for eelecting any Republican officers
in tie State, ,apd for preserving their
party The Success Of, the Custom
hpnse state ticket nominated at Ba-
ton Kouge is hopeless, and if the
fortunes. Of the Republican par
ty are attached to it, its defeat is
certain. ... .
To demonstrate this, We call their
attention to the history of the
Packard Customhouse convention at
Baton Rouge, which has assumed
to present candidates to the people
Of this State in the name Of the Re-
publican party.
