The Mission of the Republican Party
Not Ended

NextSto ourselves, the white League
Democrats of the South. and their Butternut
allies and apoiogSts in the North, are the best
friends of the Republican cause. Just as
many were beginning to think that the mis-
SION of the Republican National organiza-
ton was honorably ended and that party
lines need not be drawn with great strict
ness, the wanton disregard of law. the out
break against the black voters of the South,
the displays of extreme and malicious intol-
eranee in the persecution of white Republi-
cans there, and the turbulent bloody
and revolutionary movements detailed every
day by telegraph, prove beyond all denial
that, without the continuance in power of the
Republican party, the scenes of the early
days of 1861 will be repeated. We are not
alarnnists. We would disdain the use of po-
litieal clap-trap: but the facts are not of our
making. The cloven foot. through the in fat
nations divineiy sent to defeat the design. of
evil-doers, is displayed in time to show patri-
otto men the need there is for the continu-
anee in power of the Republican party for
the sake of the peace, unity and prosperity of
the country at large. Put the party in power
which VIII be controlled by the negotiating
White Leaguers, and the United States would
soon be as sadly and sorely distracted as poor,
turbulent Mexico has been.

THE REMEDY.
A Southern View Of the Necessities in
the Present Case.
From the Louisville Commercially

from ths Louisville Cemmereiall
There is one thing which good men all
conduct of the President just as heartily as
they do the prompt action in Louisiana,
which saved the country from prolonged vio-
lence and bloodshed. We refer to the sharp
the carpet-bag politicians of the South, who
were fiocllng around him with tales Of
trouble and appeals for help. The President
spoke the sentiment of the country in
useless, if we had the disposition to deny the
corruption and thieving and misrnle which
miserable self-seeking Inaves, acting under
the disguise of loyalty to the government,
have introduced into all of the reconstructed
States. The eyes of the country have been
pretty we'll opened to the true character Of
those gentry, and the validity OF their claims
to patriotism is set at its true value.
The southern people must bear their full
share of the blame that this did not come
about sooner. They allowed their rebel sem
tlment to mix up SO with their hostility to
corruption; their desire for party success to
be involved so much with their appeals for
honesty; they abused so indiscrimnately
all who differed from them politically
and they showed little zeal to sup
press lawlessness when its victims were
men who dad not vote with them, that
they gave the worst rascais who were plum
derlng them materials to make proof as
strong as holy writ before people who de-
manded above all things that there should be
opinion everywhese in the land; that they
were abused and denounced and opposed
and threatened, not because they were disre-
putable plunderers, but because they vera
loyal men. The thing Of abusing LoDgstreet
as much Moses, and of taking
Warmoth into favor as readily as
Walker, gave the scalawag and the carpet
Dagger many good argument 1t is easy
enough to apportion blame, but just now il
is not so important to do it as il is to do
sonnet hing else. Theving and corruption
and the mere seif-seeking of political adven-
turers in the South have got to be kicked
out from the shelter OF the Republican party.
In behalf of the honest men Of the
party, who want to see law and
order in the South, but who
want to see good, pure government there adj
mlnistered by the people for their own hes;
Interests, we protest against efforts to secure
law and order being any longer used by
thieves TO hide secure plumber. We can
promise with confidence to General Grant,
the hearty support, not only of his own party,
but Of the whole country, in an earnest effort
to secure such restoration of order and good
government in the South. that every honest
man viii be safe m his life and liberties and
and all public and private thieves
safe IN the penitentaries where they belong.
