New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-18
WHAT WE WANT.

1t is very evident that the prime neces-
sity of the people at this juncture is iden-
tity of purpose and action for the good Of
the State. 1t is equally evident that the
majority of the people agree on abstract
questions of politics, and only differ as to
the way Of effecting the grand object all
have in view. Some want the political re-
generation to be effected under Liberal Re-
publican auspices, while others prefer it
to be carried forward through the infu-
ence and by the direction of Democrats.
But which is the most practicable The
Liberal Republican movementtR s already
been inaugurated with every assurance of
success. 1t is founded upon national
ideas, and its chief purpose is the correc-
ton of political abuses For the last four
years the government has gone from bad
to worse, and complaints are everywhere
prevalent, charging the administration
with desire for Capitalization, and an
undisguised attempt to make the civil
subordinate to the military power. In
the South particularly, the evil of mis-
government has been severely felt The
local government has, by federal inter
ference, been emasculated of its strength
and vigor, and the enforcement act, as in
terpreted, has all but crushed the slightest
exertion Of the political franchise if in
opposition to the will of the administra-
ton. The States, for all practical pur-
poses, have become mere dependencies of
the central government.
1t requires no argument to prove that
such condition Of things was not con-
templated by the trainers of the constitu-
ton. Whether they designed to make the
States sovereign or not, it is evident they
did not design to make the President the
absolute arbiter of every political prin-
ciple The people of this country have
some rights which even a President is
bound to respect, and among them are the
rights of local self-government the su-
premacy of the civil over the war power,
and the complete exemption Of local cleo
tons from federal interference. But the
Southern people want something else
the right to vote, secured by general am
nesty These necessities are greater than
partisan success or party fealty. To secure
them it is requisite to ignore party ties.
The Liberal Republican movement offers
a broad platform where Democrats and
Republicans can meet and strive for these
objects. They are indeed the purposes
for which the movement was designed to
secure. 1t was inaugurated to that end.
What difference does it make whether the
banner under which the canvass is prose
cuted is called Democratic or Republican
The end is the same. So should the sup
port of it be- Party differences, there
fore, in an emergency like this is unwise.
They should be ignored, and every energy
bent to secure the triumph of these prin-
ciples, upon the success of which depends
greatly the integrity and permanency Of
free institutions

THE FIRST FRTTITs

New York is ablaze with the Greeley
and Brown excitement At Elmira, in
old Herkimer, at Syracuse, at Buffalo, at
Albany; in fact wherever the Democrats
have held conventions, the resolutions
distinctly recommend to the National
Democratic Convention the policy not
only of sustaining from making nomin-
ations, but of actually recommending all
Democrats to vote for Mr. Greeley. And
the State Democratic Convention, speak
ing for the entire party, declared unmis-
takably in favor Of the same policy. As
for the Republicans, the old and constant
friends Of Mr.. Greeley have rallied to his
support in crowds sufficient to justify
them in being sure of carrying the State,
even if there were two other nominations
in the field. The same immense body of
voters who turned the scale in the last
election and gave the State to the Repub-
licans against the Democrats, is strong
enough with Greeley as leader to carry

propose to do it, if the contest is forced
upon them. Their party preferences are
subordinate to their duty to the country,
and their desire for reform is above their
wish to help particular individuals The
same condition Of affairs prevails in Penn
sylvania and Connecticut, where the ami
mus Of the people is for good government,
first and last. This is apparent from the
alliance that was formed in the last State
to elect Senator Ferry, and in the first by
the support which the Democrats gave to
Colonel Mcclure. Both Of these gentle

men were Republicans, and yet they OBJ
tanned the entire vote Of the Democratic
party. The spirit of all these alliances
may be traced directly to the people them
selves, that having realized nothing but
disaster by adhering to the weakness OF
the old Bourbonistic Democracy, cast
about for different hand to keep them
out Of the troubles that seemed to grow
NOR. p0rtentous the longer they were al
lowed to succeed.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-18

When Mosby indorses General Grant,
the administration papers pretend that the
Democrats are coming over to their side.
When General Beauregard suggests that
he viii support Mr.. Greeley, the same pa
pers say that Mr.. Greeley has gone to the
Democrats. Why do they not hold to the
same conclusion in both cases?

Among prominent Democrats who are
now openly quoted as warmly in favor Of
the nomination of Greeley and Brown, are
General John c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
General Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, and
Duncan F. Kenner, Of Louisiana. 1t is I'M

Reverdy johnson expresses himself warmly
on the same side.
