eagerly accepted them. Their deeds of
the past have constituted no impeachment
to their receiving the highest testimonials
Of Democratic confidence. They have
contributed part of the spoils obtained
from feecing the treasury to aid the Demo-
Gratis in siezing upon the government.
We have had no better opportunity of ex-
pressing our thanks to the Democracy for
having taken off our shoulders and con-
science the vindication OF such men and
such acts. They have taken the politi-
clans cum onere. as the lawyers say. with
their responsibilities. But until these
genuine ami these galvanized Democrats
shall have been made pure gold by con-
fession and absolution. until they shall
have given up as the sea at the last day
a.! tina: they have jointly and severaiiy
robbed the people of Louisiana OF: OF. it
will be in vain for the Democratic party
to absolve itself. In every code the re-
ceive- is as bad as the thief-the accom-
plice and accessory punishable as the
principal. Let. then. those who attempt
to hold the Republican party accountable
for the corrup.ioas Of the Pas: unite now
with those. colored and white. who have
the direction of Republican action. and
they will a: leas: testify repentance il
they can not accomplish reform. Let
them cas-: out the evil spirits Of their own
party and, though it may sadly diminish
its numbers. it will greatly improve its
worth. 1. may thus be brought up to the
high and patriotic standard OF the Re-
publican party, which has had to cast on.
and exp1rsate itself by the precise pro-
cess recommended for Demo cratic adop-
ton.
