Mr.. Pincllback has seen enough of
the inside working of political paities
in this State to be able to tell which
side the bread of the colOred people is
battered on. He sticks to Warm0tli
because be knows that Warmth does
not desert his ooiors. Lock where we
may in the United States and the
negroes are worse off than they are in
Louisiana. This is the only State
where they are. really and truly ac-
cppted IA citizens. Why! Because
the Governor himself sets the tx
ample. He treats the negroes just as
he does the white people, and his ex-
ample in this regard has wonderful
effect. Then he gives them all the
rights that he can give to any man
He turns out bad one, which is the
same thing that he does to white
scslmps. This makes the good ones
more respectable ana careful. He
acknowledges them in everx capacity.
One of the chief accusations of the
democrats against Warmoth il that
he ap Ointed Oliver as sheriff of
Ascension parish. He did nothing of
the sort, but he did better act. He
respected the will of the people and
commissioned Oliver because the re-
pnblicahs of that parish elected him
TO the office of sheriff. He stood by
the lew and the cOlored people ia this
case as he has always done.

The Freedom Of Politics.

1t is said that representative govern
ments, to fulfill the purposes of their
creation, must allow the utmost lati-
tude of opinion aud policy. Ii that is
true, here in Louisiana we can lay
claim to a patriotism that has rend-
cred itself into practical ideas. We
have every shade and condition of
politics. Our people can lex and
and choose with confidence, sure TO be
suited in the end. Whether, however,
this condition OF things will insure us
tire utmost practical good is IA problem
not yet iapablc of solution. Certain
it is that our politics constitut AN un
heard of anomaly. We have tour par
ties widely separated on State issues
pretending 10 identity of thought and
policy in the support of the two repre-
sentative national tickets. The sup
porters of the Philadelphia nominees
are as widely sundere,l as the poles
upon the same issues in State politics.
So, too, with the supporters of Greeley
and Brown. They approve of the ma
tional platform tor national purposes,
but discover grave cause of dssension
when the same principles are applied
to the affairs of the State. Did any.
body ever hear of SO great an ab-
suritys
The truth abOnt the matter is that
too MANY people want to be rulers,
and they are surprised that there
should be ans dissenting opinion
about their peculiar fitness for Office.
They haze Rone themselves, why
should others be less ciedulOms. In
short. we are like the early regiments
raised for the army-every man want
ed to command, and no privates were
left TO obey. Indeed there is little
doubt Louisiana COLD to-day supply
statesmea, fully qualified in their own
opinions, to till every office in the gift
OF the American people. We have
four candidates cor Governor who
think Tor their parfisans think Tor
them the State will inevitably go to
ruin il they are not elected. Nor can
they appreciate the fact that il is
barely possible the State could get
along, and perhaps prosper, were
every one of these political apirants
utterly east aside and never heard of
again. So. too. With the infinite num-
Der of lesSers officers and more hum.
bic aspirants for political distinction.
But g so Wigs the world" and we are
now having our time.-[N. o. Repubi-
