THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST.

The first Presidential nomination has
been made. A body of men pretending
to represent temperance and labor met in
Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday last, and
proceeded to put candidates before the
people in the interest of themselves. This
convention consisted of one hundred and
ninety-six delegates, most of whom were
not laborers, and assumed to speak in the
name of all the industrial classes of the
United States. David Davis, of Hi
nois, was nominated for the Presidency,
and Joel Parker, of New Jersey, was put
up for Vice President. The platform
covers the bond and greenback matter,
which is a financial problem; wants the
national debt paid according to the orig
inal contract, which it does not state; asks
that the bonds Of the government be taxed,
which is like taking money out of one
pocket and putting it in the other; opposes
the sale of the public domain, which creates
a deficit of revenue in favor OF one class that
all classes will have to make up; demands
the free importation of such articles as are
of general use, with a high tariff on lux
uries, which presents an abstruse question
of fact and morality that the laborer may
understand, but which statesmen nave no
solved as yet; excludes Cinnamon, which
is an unjust blow at a very industrious
class of laboring people; favors the eight
hour law, which is a little matter that ny
laborer can regulate to suit himself at
present; wants war taxes collected from
those who make the wal, which is a sug-
gestion that has no present application;
asks Congress to limit the tariff of charges
on railroads and by telegraph companies,
which involves an extraordinary amount
of calculation, and will require a new
bureau and an army of clerks; favors the
one term principle, which is tantamount
to abridging the rights Of the people Il
casting reproach on their capacity; II
winds up with a demand for universal
amnesty and equality of rights and priv
ileges for all, which is a sort Of political
maxim that everybody tapers off with at
present.
Striking out the eight hour law plank,
the Labor and Temperance Convention
did not present a single idea that affects
the masses Of the laboring people. And
the eight hour suggestion will not do to
elect a President upon, because the Presi-

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 1872

Day after day the organ Of the $3.50
has abused, bullied and threatened the
Legislature for not reforming the "ob-
noxious" laws. Now, when they resolve
to do nothing else, and vigorously set to
work about it, the Picayune accuses them
Of RECKLESS legislation" and declares
that these "bills Of infinite importance,
requiring the utmost deliberation, are
rushed through without adequate exami-
nation" Thus has it been throughout
with the hermaphrodite combination OPP
posed to the Republican party. They
claim to be for reform, and reform only;
but they not only fail to act reform, but
snarl and growl at those who are really
anxious to satisfy the popular demands.

OUR POSITION.

1t is useless to disguise the fact that new
and living issues are fast effacing the old
party lines that have so long distinguished
political interests in this country. The
Democratic and Republican parties were
divided upon the theory Of reconstruction.
They are no longer so. Reconstruction is
an admitted fact, and theory has become a
principle. While, however, the great
masses of the people accept the political
condition reconstruction has inaugurated,
partisan leaders have kept alive the an
tagonism of parties by raising abstract
issues, which are again r~eviving party
lines and party animosities. But these
new divisions are not composed of the
same elements that characterized previous
separations. A new principle has been
evolved from the conflict of parties the
principle OF reform. It has been seized
upon by both political divisions with
eagerness, but with different views and
aims, and with opposing nterestsi-nth this
city and State more distinctly antagonistic
than elsewhere. The reason for this Is OF
easy explanation.
The war had broken up society. 1t left
no distinct political organization In exist
ence save that which was founded on ad-
hesion to the union of the States. From
this sprung reconstruction and the present
State government. This was necessarily
crude and imperfect at first, and bad laws
naturally crept into the hastily erected
structure Of State sovereignty. Oppres-

The Bee calls upon Governor Warmoth
to veto the Wateworks bill, and seems to
have some confidence that a favorable
answer will be returned to its demand.
Will it give him credit for honesty if he
vetoes the law? or will it adroitly turn the
act to his disadvantage by assuming that
he committed it with a dishonest purpose?
The Governor has obtained but little credit
so far from the conservative press for veto
ing speculations, but We are happy to say
that the people remember him if the poll
ticians do not.

The Picayune, on a general principle OF
regeneration, seems unable to state any.
thing correctly. This popularity of the
s'people's organ" is notably illustrated in
its account of the Metropolitan Police bill
now before the Legislature. 1t says that it
proyides for the levy of a tax ofnot exceed
ing one-alf of one per cent On the assessed
values of 1871, which is true; but the calico
journal neglects to state that 1t provides
that the revenue thus created shall not ex-
coed 5000, 900, and leaves the impression
that the bill allows S69o,000. Either the
Picayune is ignorant of the subject OF which
it is treating, or-it has deliberately lent
itself to a misstatement
1t may be further stated that the Pica-
ysne's inference that the Governors power
over the police is strengthened by the pro-
visions of this bill is not correct. 1t is
greatly lessened, if not entirely annulled.
: The peoples organ talks wildly.

It is somewhat remarkable that after
de~nouncing the Governor with every
opprobrious epithet it could invent, the
Times and Picayune appeal to him so con-
fdentially when a real trouble arises. 1t
shows they put no faith themselves in the
v~illainies they .ascribe to him, and are
well aware that his duties are discharged
conscientiOusly, and with an eye single to
the public benefit. The people are finding
it out, too, and will, after awhile. put a
due estimate upon the licensed organsaof
instrumentation and abuse.

The peoples organ" announces, with its
customary fairness. that each one OF the
bills included in the omnibus" is indis-
pensable to the maintenance Of executive
power. If so, the Picayune has been all
along deceiving and betraying those whose
interests it is pretending to look after.
They are the very bills the Picayune has
been urging the Legislature to pass. Does
the "people's organ want it understood
that it is the Governors henchman in dis
guise?

Representative Thompson has been an
expensive luxury to the State for the past
fifty-eight days. One Of the headers in
the revolutionary proceedings which
wholly suspended legislation during the
first half of the session, he has, since
condescending to return to the duties to
perform which he was sent from the rural
delights of st. Tammany, proven an in
v~eterate speech-maker and discord-breed-
er. From first to last he harped upon his
pet measures, in season and out of season,
until ever the Picdypme has thought it
necessary to take him to task for his
''ominous' acts, Notwithstanding he is a
champion reformer. In amending the
satisfactory order of business proposed by

a MORAL.

The Times, in announcing the suspen-
| sion of the Louisville Ledger, uses the
| following language, in which a moral is
attempted to be conveyed to certain other
merchants, two-thirds of whom are
''aliens to this community" who have
established an organ in New Orleans:
We see by the telegraph that the Louis
vile Ledger, which was established some
months ago by a number of merchants for
the purpose Of breaking down the Louis
| Vile Courier-J journal, has, after the vicis-
STUDIES incident to joint stock Journalism.
been forced to suspend publication.
Now, while we can not from our infor-
nation concede the correctness OF the
Times premises, we can, nevertheless,
draw a moral from the suspension Of the
Louisville Ledger. AS we understand it,
the paper was not established by Louis
vile merchants, but by Bourbon whisky
Democrats, for the purpose of breaking
down the Courier-J0urnaL.
New Orleans is, we believe, the only
city where the knights of the yard-stick
have taken up the quill for the purpose Of
writing puffs and political programmes.
1t is true but few of them are known to
this people. The rest are unregistered,
and many of them residents Of other
cities. New York, Boston, Paris, and even
Louisville, Kentucky, are all represented
in this board of political traders. But
their danger of failure does not consist SO
much in the fact that they care in trade"
as in that they are going against the
popular current, and attempting to build
up their W class at the expense OF the
people at large. Of course they will fail
for the same reason that the Ledger failed.
The fact that they are merchants, peddlers
and traders cannot save them in their mad
crusade against the rights Of two-thirds Of
the people Of this State.
