TIE SPIRIT OF REVENGE,

The strongest argument, judging from
its most frequent use, that the fanaticism
of the North urges against. general am
nesty in the South is, that as rebellion
once had sway here, so it will again, in
case of a removal Of disabilities. It is
based on the principle, once a sinner al
WAYS a sinner On the same parity OF
reasoning religion is a farce and the doc
trine Of atonement lie; unless, indeed,
politics is regarded as more sacred than
Christianity, and the sin Of the South
against the republic a greater evil
than the rejection of the means Of grace.
In other words, God forgives the sinner,
but these indignant Northern patriots can
not forgive the rebel.
This idea is forcibly advanced by Mr..
Phillips in his letter Of advice to the col
ored citizens. Il dare not, says he, ''af-
fix the epithet I think fitting to that mood
Of mind which deems it necessary and be-
coming to preach to such a community
the duty of forgiveness, since ''duty to
the dead and the negro forbids US to relax
any of the disabilities that restrain them, -
i. e., the South, from trust and power.
And waxing eloquent in the ascerbity Of
his theme. he says to Northern soldiers
that they decorate loyal graves with
worse than empty ceremonies if over them
they clasp hands with revengefuI enemies. "
But here we may ask, what Indication
has the South given of a nOn-acceptance
of the results Of the war; What part Of
the South harbors a hostile attitude to the
government? None Everywhere peace
prevails, and the laws in every locality are
obeyed, and are ample for the vindication
Of peace and order. It is this doctrine, so
assiduously practiced by such men as Mr..
Phillips, that has inspired the negroes
with the idea of a black mans party in
the South, and has left the local politics
of Louisiana in such a disturbed and IN
satisfactory condition.
The only period since the war when
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-25

Republicans and Democrats were acting
in harmony, forgetful Of past differences,
and earnestly bent on redeeming the State
from misrule, is the present. And on the
eve of a consummation SO devoutly to be
wished, the negroes are told, and white
Republicans coerced in the belief, that a
political alliance with native residents on
any other platform than that Of PhiIa-
delphia, is pregnant with mischief to the
republic. These fanatics seem to know
more of our affairs and our people than
we do ourselves, and would have us stultify
our own experience, put behind US facts,
demons, rated before our own eyes, and
accept instead the spirit Of revengeful
hate as the basis Of our political alliances.
Such doctrines will never beget unity and
peace; and if adopted by the negro, will
be the sure precursor of his own undoing.
If we are divided in politics, it should be
on a political principle. The resentments
that spring from race arealways the most
unrelenting and unreasonable. If per-
sisted in to their logical sequence, they
will end as all similar things have ended,
in blood and disaster to the weaker party.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY AUGUST IS, 1872

American soil, are treated as the excuses
of private individuals, and indemnity
refused and apology denied.
The time has been (and the possibility
that the awakened resentments of the
nation may make it present reality
when such state of things would not be
tolerated with IMMUNITY. 1t is possible
that the Aztec republic, relying upon that
tolerance always shown by our govern
ment to her vacillating and incOnstant
faith to international treaties, hopes to
levy indemnities for her misfortunes in a
former war, and escape the penalty of
her crimes. But her aggressions have
been pushed to a point where forbearance
ceases to be a virtue, and the people of
the country are rapidly approaching that
determination when a refusal of a prompt
redress of grievances will be followed by
an appeal to the arbitrament Of arms.
The outrages committed already involve
the loss of many millions of dollars, be-
sides interrupting great commercial enter
prises which are regarded as of vital i'm
portance to the country. Already is pro-
jected great railroad line through north
western Texas, Chihuahua and Sonora to
California. The predisposition of the
Mexican people to revolution renders such
an undertaking unsafe unless the strong
arm Of our government. shields the enter
prise. Besides, the great mineral wealth
of these States requires development, and
their acquisition appears to afford the
only available means for indemnity for
our losses. At any rate, the present con-
dition Of things demands prompt adjust
ment nor is it probable the settlement
viii be much longer delayed.

TIE RULE THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

THE RULE THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS
When we say that the colored people
should listen with attention and respect
to the arguments Of those who differ with
them in politics, We do not wish to be
understood as censuring them. especially
for their refusal to do so heretofore, since
they have had the example Of the white
folks before them all the time to Justify
them in their abstinence. Tie Demo-
Gratis Of this State have refused to attend
Republican meetings, have refused to read
Republican papers, have refused to learn
anything about Republicans, except what
they were told by men Of strong preju-
dices or with selfish designs. The negroes
have only followed the example Of the
self-styled superior race, and they very
logically defended their absence from Dem
ocratc meetings by saying that the Dem
ocrats refused to attend their gatherings ;
and if the whites could understand poll
tics by hearing only one side, they could
do the same thing. We should like to
have public questions discussed freeley in
the presence Of all classes, for that is the
way partners in business should conduct
their mutual concerns but SO long as the
white men refuse to do the proper thing,
we shall not insist upon the black people
doing it alone Mr.. Ellis is not the man
we should like to listen to ourselves Lay-
ing a distaste for sounding brass and tink-
ling cymJaI, and We should be 10th 10 urge
our friends to 60 where our own good
sense prohibits US from going The man
who goes about preaching white supremacy
has no right to expect sensible people to
attend upon his nonsense, nor has lie any
right to denounce another party for declar-
ing in favor Of black supremacy in
State where the blacks contend that they
have the majority.

COMING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

After repeated solicitations, We have at
last obtained from the Pico5alne something
the public can put its finger upon. That
paper has finally concluded to make
square attack upon a specific wrong to
wit: It says the bonds that were issued in
favor Of the. North Louisiana and Texas
railroad should be repudiated; and it in
sists that this is question that the courts
should have nothing to do with, because
Judge LudeEng in some sort Of way men
toned these bonds in discussing another
case. If there ever was a case where pot
house vaIor got the advantage of discre-
ton, this is one The bonds here alluded
to have been on the market for four years.
They have passed through a dozen differ
ent hands. Perfectly innocent men, who
never heard Of Ray, Ludeling, or the Pico-
ylue, hold them at present, possibly as Sc
curity for money loaned for benevolent
purpose. And yet the Picayane, which
never protested against this debt before,
now steps to the front, and declares il IA
vor Of repudiating them. Instead Of re-
quiring the State to proceed against the
road itself, instead Of inquiring what
security the people hold against
the bonds, the Picaylols blindly de-
mands that the innocent shall be
made to suffer when there is a way to
reach the guilty ones. And to its shame,
be it spoken, it not only strikes in this
blind and desperate way at the debt, but
it insolently steals its virtue from the man
whom it has SO Indignantly abused. Gov
eInor Warmoth related to.the people Of
this State months ago how they had been
abused by The North Louisiana and Texas
railroad, and insisted upon steps being
taken to prevent further loss. His advice
was Left unattended to, and now the Pica-
y,u2e appropriates his information and
sets up a claim to be very yirtuoUs be-
cause it echoes his language. Why was
it silent in 1868? Why has it been silent
url to-day? This wickedness has eX-
listed for four years, and only now this
virtuous newspaper discovers its enormity.
It IS a very valiant thing to attack an
evil after the Governor has led the assault;
but it IS stupid to attempt breach
in stone wall when there IS a mud
fence Just round the corner. Where
was the necessity for connecting Judge
Ludehng'5 name with this matter? He
will be refused under the law when
the case comes before the. Supreme
Court; and besides that the Judiciary
Will say the State is bound to fulfill
all her engagements, and especially is she
bound to fulfill those wherein she has in
IDENTIFIED herself against loss, as she has
done in the case Of the North Louisiana
and Texas railroad. We are in favor Of
forcing this matter to prompt settlement
against the road, in the interest of the
State, just as Governor Warmoth is, but
we desire to. proceed senaibly, legally and
honestly, and not like a fool or an ex-
ploded soda fountain. Dr. Brickell puts
US in mind of sedlitz powder.

now abuses politicians as unworthy of
