THE WAY TO DO IT.

A political wiseacre has discovered a
way by which the political millennium can
be brought around without any further
ado The Picay.ne is in ecstacies with
the idea, and exultingly adopts it as the
great panacea, applicable to the political
distemper. Here it is:
To drop tropes and figures, we believe
that in the present political fight perfect
union of all parties is necessary to success.
Here's wisdom for you. Who can doubt
that success would attend a perfect union
of all parties? Such combination would
be perfectly invincible The Reformer
and the Customhouse employe would low
ingly contend for the palm Of zeal in the
good work Of ''going for Grant" The
Republicans and Democrats, being parties
to the happy arrangement, would walk up
to the polls arm in arm and vote for any
body or any measure, in order not to mar
the harmony of the newborn occasion.
This is just what We expected of the Pica-
yu,.e-that it would use its immense in
fuence to bring about the millennium: and
sure enough, it has precipitated al dis
order and allayed all political contentious
by getting every mothers soul of US into
one great and savory mince pie or rum
jamboree.
Since all men are to be united and har-
nlonious hereafter, the Picayuae can not
expect tha. the existing order Of affairs
will be altered in any manner, for the
mere suggestion Of such design viii
certainly disturb the serenity Of the camp.
Each man is now supposed to have but
one thought, and that is in unison with
the though Of his neighbor. We are to
have no more quarreling as to who shall
be Governor, Senator, Representatives,
members of the Legislature, or anything
else. If this condition of quietude is not
maintained the entire programme is liable
to boil over and put out the fire. The
Picaspne must cease its scandalous i'm
putation Of bad motives and worse as
tons to men with whom it proposes to
act in union, and the answer to all in
quirers must be that everything is lovely
and the goose exceedingly elevated.
Every political question is now put away
in order to save disputes, and the country
is to be saved by united fight for victory
by everybody, without regard to race,
color, or previous condition" This is the
easiest way to do it that has yet been
presented, and barring the difficulties of
deciding how all the details are to be ad-
justed that must necessarily arise, there is
nothing in the world to prevent the settle
ment from being most happy and de-
cided one.

Possibly it will be necessary to go out OF
the State for most Of the good qualities.
And then they would run the risk OF not
being very well known.
The suggestion that very small sprink-,
ling of Democracy in the ingredients VIII
be enough rather shows weakening on
the ancient traditions. At least the Bee
stipulates that its paragons must not have
the reputation of being ultra Democratic in
their views. Consequently their success
VIII not be regarded as Democratic TIL
umph, and the carpe.-baggers ''wil not
take alarm" and leave the State inconh-
nently, as the Bee generously declares IN
another place in the same article, they
will be compelled to do
When this famous combination Of char
acters is found, and ''the perfect union OF
all parties is completed, there will be
little or nothing left to do. The Repub-
Ecans, the Reformers, the ultra Democrats
and the Customhouse ring will quietly
disband and surrender themselves to the
guidance Of the political saints.
New Orleans Republican., 1872-04-20
ILLIBERAL ANTICIPATIONs.

The Bee already gloats in ANTICIPATION
Of the time when the Democrats will be
able to drive Republicans from this State:
The success of the Democracy means a
hegira from Louisiana Of the whole carpet
bag element to healthier climates. They
know they can not remain here.
In the eyes Of the Bee and the narrow
minded, proscriptive faction Of the De-
Inocracy to which it belongs, every man
who has political opinion, not obtained
from a convention platform, is either a
carr et-bagger, a scalawag or a traitor to
the South. 1t is the old game of intimida-
ton revived, that illiberal and wickedly
short-sighted policy which prevailed ten
or fifteen years ago, and which cost Lou
isiana half its property and the lives Of
thousands OF our best men. We do not
intend to permit a return Of such rule.
We have seen it demonstrated that it did
not pay to run American, citizens out Of
an American city. They do not stay out,
but come back strong enough to become
rulers Besides, the true policy of our
people is to invite the citizens of other
States to come here, and induce them to
stay. We have 10 use for Chinese wall
down here. and no right to regard
the other States as penal colonies for
the deportation Of enterprising men who
work while we sleep, and offend US by
their success.

termined not to be accessory to such po-
hdcal persecution in convention called,
as alleged, to conciliate the people and
bring about the redemption Of the State.
Therefore when Mr.. Gauthreaux renewed
his motion yesterday, after the convention
had been permanently organized, grow
ing feeling to defeat it was plainly visible.
Several of the country delegates among
them the Hon. Michael Ryan-made very
effective speeches against the expul-
sion Of Mr.. Davidson, and the resolution
for expulsion WAS finally defeated by
vote of 103 yeas to 1853 nays-the country
vote being almost unit against expul-
sion. An attempt was also made to press
through the convention by an immediate
vote-and defeated by pretty much the
same vote that prevented the expulsion Of
Mr.. Davidson-a resolution denouncing
Governor Warmoth as unworthy Of the
confidence Of the people of this State.
Here are two palpable instances Of the dis
position Of the city delegates to use the
convention as means of Furnishing men
who had successfully resisted the attempts
of few unprincipled men to revolu-
tonize the government of this
State. Bad as the disposition Vas
it would have been undoubtedly carried
out, and the convention made responsible
for it, had If not been for the good sense
and just views. of the country delegates.
The stand they have taken in the conven-
ton against the bitter and proscriptive
feelings displayed by some OF the city
delegates has already done much good
toward encouraging spirit Of conciiation
that will not be confined to the conven-
ton. Mr.. Fuqua, Of East FeEciana, and
Mr.. Eustis, of this city, addressed the
convention yesterday afternoon. Their
speeches were replete with good sense and
good feeling, indicating that passion in
the future would be at discount in the
convention Mr.. Fuqua advocated the
postponement of nominations, and Mr..
Eustis opposed the proposition to post
pone. The convention adjourned without
coming to vote upon the subject.

their success

We copy the following editorial from the
New York Tribune:
The simple fact that the report Of the
Congress committee which investigated the
New Orleans outrages is suppressed in the
Congress printing establishment is much
more damaging than the publication Of the
report could possibly be. That the Presi-
dents brother-in-law, Collector Casey, and
the rest of the distempered officials of his
party, disregarded law and decency in their
attempts to get possession Of the party
machinery of the State, is now notorious.
That these men carried off on revenue
cutter enough members Of the Legislature
TO destroy quorum, and used the govern
ment authority to shield these fugitive
legislators from civil process, is equally
well known. That Messrs. Packard, Casey
and their colleagues used the Presidents s
name and authority TO coerce the timid and
seduce the weak can not be gainsaid. Con-
gress sent, at considerable expense, a com
mittee to inquire into this business, and
their report, completed several weeks ago,
is detained in the government printing
house under the pretext that press of bust
ness prevents its being put into type. We
are not told who is directly responsible for
this evasion of law, but if it is not clear
confession Of the whole case against the
New Orleans administrat ton officials, actions
do not mean anything.
