NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER l9, 1878
as radicalism little better than that of

as radicalism little better than that OF
the assignats and guillotine. There is no.
one doctrine Of personal right and
liberty taught by Jefferson that this
Republican party has lot carried into
effect. There is not one of these doc
trlnes which the men calling themselves
Jefersonian Democrats have not resisted
as radical
Radicalism is in fact Jeffersonism. 1t
goes down to the bed rock of republican
principle and POUNDS the institution of
government upon that solid basis. Sham
Democracy desires no such thorough and
consistent work. It prefers the simple
name OF Democracy, and has striven, IN
der that appellation, to organize systems
copied from other forms of government
We have no objection to the term "rad-
ical-" 1t implies a capacity to compre-
bend principle and the courage to estab-
llsh it on foundation too deep and too
solid to be undermined or oyerthrown.
jefferson was radical in his day as We
are radicals in ours. He was denounced
by the men who hated freedom and loved
kings as all his true followers are to-day
by the descendants of his defamers. They
are little more cautious and hypocritical
than their Tory ancestors, but the in
herited hostility to free and equal CON
stituency still exists, and while its OPP
ponents claim to be the followers of
Thomas Jefferson, they Indignantly de-
C lain against ''radicalism.''

The vessel and cargo finally reach New
Orleans, the Outport of the greatest com
mercial highway of the world, after paying
tribute to this monopoly of the larger-gross
part of her inward freight in some in
stances, In others the whole; in many the
cost even exceeds the gross amount of the
| inward freight, and the outward freight has
to be drawn against. Hence the masters
| OF vessels, knowing these facts. would az
soon run into the centre of cyclone as fol
freight to or from New Orleans.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Wetm ore the
planter sustains a loss from these charges,
and the scarcity of tonnage" is due in
great part to the cost of getting sailing
vessel in and out of our port Our CON-
ment upon this will be short. New Or
leans has the uncommon disadvantage OF
being separated from the sea by strong
river current, which can only be overcome
by steam. So long as sail vessels resort
to our harbor they must pay for steam
draft in some shape or other. It could
doubtless be supplied on somewhat better
terms than at present, and it would seem
that If competitive towing were practical
BILE it would relieve them greatly. But
the obstacle to navigation will remain,
and we can see no other mode of counter
acting this physical evil except by the ex-
elusive employment Of steamships This
will solve the problem and ultimately
save the cotton trade of the citve

RADICALISM.

We have persons claiming political dee
scent from Thomas Jefferson, charging the
Republican party with radicalism' We
should like to know what that man who with
Fletcher OF Saltoun asked whether COM
mon men were born with saddles on their
backs and kings born ready booted and
spurred to ride them would think Of snch
a change: Radicalism Why, it was the
very term applied by the aristocrats and
federalists who fought Thomas jefferson
to that abolition advocate of universal hui
man equality. His doctrines were charged
with all the crimes of the Frenchmen
who cut off their kings head They
were not credited with the greatness
of the Englishmen, who sut off
also 8 kings head and founded q
free and responsible government. Jefer-
son was a radical. He thought society
would be better if educated. Our aris-
tocrats, with the old colonial Governor,
thought there never had been happiness
among the people since the printing press
had been setup. Jefferson was of opinion
that the right Of suffrage should be ex-
tended to all men as some guarantee OF
their constitutional rights. His Demo-
cratic disciples regard the extension of
this righ. to the emapcipated millions

Small farms appear 10 be more advau

neseee The Gallatin Examiner, published
in that State, says: I'VE have noticed since
war that in sections where the labor is per
formed by the owners OF land, and not by
negroes, that there is a more satisfactory
condition of prosperity than in localities
where there is superabundance of lana.
Here in summer the farmers north OF the
ridge are better off, all things considered,
than those in-the valley. They are less in
debt; they do moro home manufacturing;
they have actually more money at the end

Hark Hark The dogs do bark
The beggars are coming to towlR
Some in rags and some n tags
And some in velvet gown.
This is serious visitation. We have
our own gamblers to maintain by the con
tributlons Of dissipated clubs and incau.
tious countrymen, and now to have this
flock of rapacious birds Of prey settle
down upon our devoted city is a grave
addition to our moral and financial re-
sponsibilities. We trust our Metropolitan
authorities will observe the example of
other cities and instituted searching raid
upon all gambling establishments. They
should be all closed, so that they can
neither afford an asylum for our own or
imported card robbers. Remembering the
cost OF supporting police establishment
here, society has right to expect that
these pocket-burglars shall be closed out,
or rather closed in to the Workhouse or
Parish Prison. New York sends US all
her exploded and played out fashions,
whether in vice, crime, or folly, and then
| New Orleans is reproached with being
very wicked place, simply because our
| citizens are SO innocent as to be
imposed on by imported iniqui-
ty. We may apprehend that with
the conviction Of Tammany Tweed, ESQ,
and the impending exposures of the
New York lobby there will be an exodus
of these political sharps to Louisiana.
We shall look out for them, and some
of the stringent laws, in such case
made and provided by a Republican Leg
islature, must be put in force against
them. Fortunately with the noison comes
the antidote. The recent constitutional
and legislative measures enacted in Penn
sylvania and New York, if copied here,
will correct this evil. Let the thieves and
robbers of New York find the same treat
ment here that they had hoped to have
left behind them, and there will no longer
be a motive in the worst population of
other States to seek an asylum here.
There is no more peaceful, moral and
orderl y city than New Orleans in the sum
mer when we have chiefly our own people:
with the first frost comes the concentrated !
and perfected rascality of other cities |
to prey upon our unsophisticated SIM |
plicity. We are thus made responsible |
for the outcast wickedness of other cone
munities. This OF itself tends to give
New Orleans bad name and Keep off a
better immigration. Let Us then stop
these immigrant gamblers, and if the
world will not send US better samples we
prefer to remain as we are. The enforce
ment of our laws will, however, exclude
these improbable customers, and the
world will see in our resolute resistance
to such an element, q moral sentiment
that will welcome and induce respectable
people to imnigrate to Louisiana
