There are a number Of States besides

We regard these calculations Of we'll

because Of their wide difference. The
friends of Mr. Grant and Mr.. Greeley
who have thus figured on paper, have no
doubt given their honest opinions as to
the result of the next presidential election.

are speaking from partisan standpoint
and are. therefore, liable to be mistaken.
They have each. no doubt, moderated the

the natural boundaries of such planta-

When it is considered that labor is

have the same market and better de-

rAUsE AND EFFECT

The evidences given us in the past forty
eight hours, is convincing beyond cayil
that this journal is recognized as their adj
wiser and spokesman by the conservative
Republican masses Of Louisiana. The
determination of the REPUBLICAN to OPP
pose and defeat the iILberal and treacher-
Gus policy of the Bourbon Democracy,
disguised as fusionists, and thereby avert
incalculable ills from the commonwealth,
has received the hearty support and en-
dorsement. of those of our party who re-
NAMED staunch in their distrust of com
promises, as well as Of those who had for
time departed in search Of an improved
and more harmonious condition of things.
No less do the Democrats recognize in the
loss Of our support to the Liberalism
which they promised, but refused to prac-
tee, the signal Of their certain defeat, and
freely express, now that it is too latee q
desire to deal more honorably if they can
thus secure the forgiveness Cor past
offenses.
But, we say again, It is too late! Build
ing upon the hope that Republican dissen'
sions were past cure, and that they could
with impunity betray that conservative
balance Of power which had consented to
Join forces with them for securing certain
reforms conceded to be necessary. the
Democrats let selfshness run away with
their Judgment, and in SO doing have &C.
complished what the Republican leaders
wofully failed in, viz: consolidated and
unified the Republican partyo For this
great kindness accept our thanks Q Last
Ditchers!
The course is clear and open toE Repub.
licans now. Were the opposition even
yet united and soEdly working for victory,
instead Of wrangling upon the eve Of bat
tie as to who shall occupy the posts Of
profit and safety, there would be no place
among them for any Of our political faith.
Friendship, good-fellowship and earnes:

and virtually cast aside with contumelyo
Therefore, trust in the opposition being
destroyed, Republicans have bus one
chance by which to secure their full rights.

May we not consider the combination

| California is a wonderful country. There
must be something in heg climate that
stimulates growth. since IL all things she
seems to be grand. As her mines are the
richest. her vegetables the largest. her
trees the taiiest, heg curiosities the most
extraordinary, SO her material develop"
ment challenges the surprise Of mankind.
In 1851 people were starving for bread
: and the mobs took the flour that specu-
lators held at sixty dollars per barrel. In
1853 she exported fous made from wheat
grown in her own valleys, and farmers
were ruined because they could not sell
the grain and potatoes they had raised at
years notice. Eggs that commanded
fifty cents apiece Became burden in two
years. Apples tina: sold at seventy-f"e
cents apiece and other fruit in like proper
ton. found tardy sale at even the cost OF
production in the next two years after 1851.
Indeed the State grew with wonder.
fu! rapidity. and whateyer was com.
;neGced SOON developed into magnif-
cent proportions. The mines teemed
with q busy population that shifted as the
waters of the ocean drift from the pole to
the equator. Towns were built in a month,
and assumptions cities We're left desoia3e
quite as speedily. Bu: one of the most
remarkable developments Of that extraor.
binary State is at present being made.
Whoever has travelled over the Illinois

INTERESTED FRIENDSHIP.

It IS notable fact that just before IN
important election the Democratic orators
and Journalists profess . total change Of
heart toward their coiored brethren.
Plausible and specious arguments are
used to convince the coiored voters that
the politicians who abuse them all the rest
Of the time. and even angrily deny to
them the enjoyment Of common human
rights, have suddenly become theig best
friends. We regard this profered friendly
alliance as a piece Of strategy, designed
to catch votes. L is never referred to
after IN election II q man is a citizen
and friend before election he is none the
less 50 afterward, and it is his right to be
SO treated There can not be, under our
system Of government, any privileged de-
grees. There is no more propriety in the
white men Offering to patronize the ne.
groes in the hope of cabling them out Of
their votes than there would be in rever8-
ing the picture. If these gentlemen as
pire to be rated as the chest friends Of
the oolored people let them show it by
acts as well as words, aud at all times, after
as well as before. Neither can
Of the Democracy toward the
negroes be justified BY proving that the
Republicans were not always as swift to be /
Qst and generous as they ought to have
5een. Because Mr.. Lincoln did not |
smancipate the negroes in hot haste at
he outset Of the war he is none the less

There is one point, and only one, upon
which al classes of the conservative ele-
ment are fully agreed, and that IS the pro
priety Of defeating the Republican party.
This common object they profess without
reservation, equivocation or evasion Of any
sort. and it they could only agree as to
the manner Of accomplishing this object
as harmoniousTy as they do in regard to
the object itself, there would be such a
fusion as would command success They
agree to everything that Is said against the
Radicals. but they disagree about what is
said in favor OF each others Ne argument
or assertion can be too strong against
their common enemy. but here the "'solid0
arity Of the peoples as KoSsutb would
say, IS arrested. because the people can
not agree as 60 who shall be put in the
places thar are to be Tacated when the
Republicans are turned out. 4 thousand
anxious applicants are pressing their dee
ma1ds to be anointed as the saviors Of
the community. Here is just where the
trouble comes in that there are more men
who desire 20 I'll the role Of Moses than
there are children of Israel to be Jed
out Of bondage. This is unfortunate
for the bondsmeno SIS it may secure
the Radicals in another Jease of
power. 1t che public can not be satisfied
that the genuine prophet has been see

folly Of quarreiing and coatending about
the best way to prevent it. The Repub.
leans owe nore Of their success to the
seltishness Of tbeig opponents than they
do 10 their own management And the
present decentralization OF the soaseyya-
tives is the best evidence they can have
that until the Democracy is buried out Of
