New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-01-03
TTE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.


Republicans, look before you leap. we
appeal not to those who have naturai
Democratic afinities, like Speaker Carter
nor those who depend upon Customhouse
employment for support, but to such as
NAV. through traachery and misrepreseh-
tation. have been seduced into co-opera-
ton with those parties. We outline
below the Democratic programme, ana
can vouch for its authenticity, no matter
what other plans may be announced as
genuine,
1t is designed to unseat enough Repup-
licans (no matter what their past services)
in the House and Senate to give the coah-
ton a two-tLirls vote; this to be followed
! by the immediate impeachment OF the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and
the installation Of Carter as Governor.
Presiding officers for the two branches OF
the Legislature will then be elected, leav-
ing the State government in Democratic
hands. For, be it fully understood,
George ". Carter is in their tolls, end IS
but puppet in their grasp. Already are
prominent Democrats gloating and chuck
ling over their anticipated triumph, and
the Offices both in the city and country
are being apportioned among their fol-
lowers.
We again cali upon misguided Eepub-
licans to pause. There will be no cAemp-
ton for them from the disastrous conse-
quences OF q return to Democratic rule.
Let the government of Louisiana again
pass into the hands Of the enemies Of Re
publicanisln, ana their lives and liberties
are in jeopardy as great as prevailed III
1868. Republicans, reflect! How many
Of you would dare return to your homes
and assert your rights as freemen: How
many even could pursue your peaceful
avocations unmO.tsted? How long would
your children ENJOY the privileges Of pub
lie schools, and yourselves be granted the
right of assemblage and free speech:
These are questions Of vital import to
yourselves, your families and your con-
stituents. Let 10 rash impulse carry you
into an error, tie awful consequences Of
which, under existing circumstances, are
fearful to contemplate.
THE LATE COLONEL JOHN F, DEANE.
Seldom has more painful duty been
devolved upon Us than that Of announc-
ing the death Of Colonel John F. Deane.
Although not unexpected, still the intel
ligence of Lis final release from lis
earthly Affections will fall with peculiar
and solemn sadness upon lis numerous
friends and acquaintances III this city.
He died yesterday morning at his resi-
dence on Camp street, after a painful i'll
ness which lasted two years. Loss Of
sight was one Of the results Of his malady,
al first SLOW aud gradual, but evidently
inevitable to the experienced practitioners
who we're callel, IL consultation. Abou.
a year ago lie became totally blind, but
he bore his great .,.,iiction with a rare AMI
commendable Patience and retained Lis
intellectual facilities bright and clear till
the hour of his death.

age, native Of Maine, and graduate OF
Bowloin College. he has been a citizen
of New Orleans since 1861 and was for
two or three years the able and successful
principal Of til Boys High School. IS
{. thorough scholar he lad few equals
and probably - superior, among the most
learned men Of tits city. His character
for rare scholarly st;ainnent5 and gentle
manly accomplishments was proyerbial
with al who knew him.
Upon the organization of the Supreme
Court Of this State, in 1868, Mr. Deaue
was appointed clerk, which position he
held to the close OF his life. He was tie
chosen particular friend and associate of

which can not be filled
