New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-30

is a Wilderness Senator, who last winter
eonspired with CustOmhOuse men and
Democrats TO overthrow the Republican
State government. " g therefore say in all
honesty and candOr to the whole body Of
Republican and cOlored voters in Louisiana,
without regard to past differences, that the
only hope for the permanent preservation
of their rights and the continued success of
Republican principles rests 10 the thorough
reform, the broader reorganization of the
party and the more cordial relations with
the native people of the State, to be attained
under the leadership of this organization
upon the basis above set forth.
To the ex-Umon soldier and the native
Union Southerner we say that to preserve
their interests from the disastrous defeat
which awaits the Customhouse clique, and
also from the inimical reaction threatened
by the restoration of old Democratic organ
izations and preiudices, and to do their part
in wiping out past animOsities. and further
nag closer and more friendly alliance with
the older people of the State as well as TO
keep faith with and discharge their Obliga-
tons to the eolored people who have stood
so firmly and faithfully by them, we have
opened the only safe and honest road for
them and us to follow.
To that large portion of the native South
ern people who have not hitherto acted
with the Republican party, but who have
earnestly desired a reorganization of poll
teal parties, to secure an honest, stable
and economical government, and who are
willing to extend an earnest, full and cor
dial recognition Of the newly acquired
rights Of the cOlored men, and also to ae-
cord them equal chances of advancement,
man for man, according to their character,
ability, intelligence and influence, we say,
frankly and boldly, that a new era has ar
rived, which, if approached with the same
caIidOr and hberality on their side as on
ours, viii remove the clouds that have
lowered over us since reconstruction, con.
ciliate all classes of our people, and restore
our State to its ancient prosperity, dignity
and independence.
We, therefore, for the best interests of
Louisiana, and all her people, with an hon
est desire to save the just rights of all
classes-tO inaugurate an era of good feel
ing between her citizens, and to restore TO
our State "a government of the people, for
the people, and by the peOple,N invite all
who agree with the principles and senti-
ments above set forth to join in eleeting ad-
ditional delegates to the convention adj
jOurned to August 9, and to assist in there
embOdying these principles in authorita-
tive form, and in selecting the best men to
carry them into execution.
By order of the eommitte.
