Governor WarInOth.

We copy the following from the Cou-
shatta Citizen:
1t is well understood in all circles that
| his excellency Governor Warmoth is am
| bilious of identifying himself in the future
with the home interests of Louisiana and
with the true sons of her soil. He has
I-valorOusly secuted all coalition with Grant,
and stands before the country firmly and
hOnOrably committed to the much needed
measures of reform and to the ticket and
platform pronounced from Cincinnati. In
the great uprising Of the people which is
about to take. place for the redemption Of
our special, political and financial fabric
from utter demolition, we are of the opin-
ion, and it is the popular impression, that
the Governor viii not be adverse to taking
a prominent position on the popular ticket
And we make bold to say that if the Gov
ernOr should place himself reCtUS IN cln'iu
before the sovereign race OF this
State at the opening Of the campaign
which is now about to burst upon Us, his
claims and his friendship will not be trifed
with or despised by people who are pro-
verbal for generosity and magnanimitY Of
character. At very early day, delegates
fresh from the body OF the people of this
parish, and from every other parish Of the
State, duly representing the will of all of
the honest and intelligent voters, both
white and cOlored, and with plenipOtentiary
powers to act il their name, will appear in.
convention at New Orleans 10 organize a
grand political party whose mission will be
to sweep Grantism and corruption from
this. State. These delegates will be such
men as money can not buy. They will 20
prepared to receive the advances Of all men
whose patriotism shall lead them in antag-
Onism to the present corrupt federal
administration. They will 90 pre-
pared to coalesce with good men
on fair, conservative, compromise plat
form. They will be prepared, .dou btlegs,
to FULLY recognize the ability and the value
OF the aid Of his excellency the Governor
In spirit Of compromise and justice, these
delegates will desire and viii meet comDrO-
mise and Justice. If we can understand the
sentiments of the united Grant opposition
IN every parish and section, they simply
seek of the Governor a present Moderation
Of the multifOrm evils under which thew
grOan, so far as a reformation may. be pos
sible at this time. As Red River parish will
doubtless have delegates az the convention
OF the fifth Of August, we will speak for
her, and let oar sisters speak. for them
selves. We Of this parish are offce-lid-
den by-with a few noble exCeptions-a
set Of men whose official depravitv and
corruption may be paralieled but not sur
passed. These officials, every one
of them, are the appOintees of his eXcellencv.
They are totally obnoxious to the entire
mass of the resident voters. While the
constitution cOntemplates that they shall
be the servitors Of the people, they have
made themselves instruments of dire perse-
CutiOn to all bu5 their immediate tools, and
their offices wretched satire upon Justice
and equity. These remarks absolutely re-
fleet the views and feelings Of every intel
igent man of this parish, and as such, we
submit them to his excellency and
those who represent his views of POLITICAL
compromise. We repeat, our people are |
unit on this point, and their delegates to
New Orleans will fully reflect their views
on this and all other subjects which NAV
properly come before the convention. What
guarantees will the Governor give us for.
reEefs The voters Of this parish desire de-
Gverance from home misrule first, and then /
will stand ready to throw a solid vote for
bearers of State reform whoever.
they NAV be.
