was type OF the earnest American: from
his earliest life he burned with the innate
love OF human equality. It was with him
no popular theme taken up for purposes
Of pe,sonal promotion. In poverty, awk-
wariness. inexperience. simplicity. he
worked on and upward tor the universal
recognition Of universal equality. For
him Insult and ridicule had no terrors,
and the offer Of reward no attraction. His
advocacy Of a protective system was based
on better wages and more intelligence for
the American workman. not greater divi.
dends for the master manufacturer. His
zeal for free soil and free homes was ami.

ROTATION IN QFFICE.

This old Democratic principle has just
been rigidly applied by the Conservative
parish convention. There has been a
clean sweep in all the city offices, from
Mayor Wilt down to the least Admins
traitor, whichever he may be: also, both
sherifs have gone by the board, and there
has been a pretty general clearing out of
justices and constables, Representatives
and other small deer. 1t is difficult to
account for this on any really satisfactory
basis. We might ascribe it to the deep
seated attachment Of the Democracy to the
principle Of rotation in office were it not
for the fact that nearly all the
present incumbents were earnest candl-
dates for denomination. without having it
imputed to them that they were violating
any of the ancient traditions" We dis.
miss the suggestion that rotation was the
prime melting cause Of the wholesale
decapitation. If we put it on the ground
OF honesty and capability. We are equally

Naturally enough. the large army Of

and to them very odious provision Of the

branch Of the opposition complain that

openly declare tia: their candidate was

REPUBLICAN, EXAMPLE.

Never until the opposition adopted the
Republican practice of an elementary
election of delegates to nominating con-
vention was there chance for decent men
to get into public stations in New Orleans.
The slungshot, the ballot suffer and the
loafer, from whom were to be constituted
the incoming politics, organized the con-
vention, made the nominations and ap-
portioned the spoils.
We may anticipate from the adoption
of the Republican system of choice far
better class of nominations than have
heretofore been presented to the city under
the Slidell patent brought by him from
New York in the day of Captain Rynders,
and practiced with such disastrous effect
upon the morals and treasury Of New
Orleans. We repeat our advice in regard
to the legislators and lobby. The REPUB-
11cAN has given notice that it acknowl-
edges no obligation to defend bad man
or bad deed because the man or the act
may claim Republican authority. Still
less are we disposed to see such Represen-
tatives in the Legislature as have repre-
sented New Orleans for the last six years,
fill their pockets with dishonest gains and
then have these robberies cited as proof
of Republican rascality. OF these Demo-
cratic Representatives, except few rem
dered immortal by accidental revelation
of bills of chancery explaining their con.
nection with brasstack transactions with
the bull beef. New canal, lottery. levee
and other monopolies. by which they sold
their constituents into bondage. we know
nothing. Their obscurity is as marked as
their frauds. With MI. Pope when COM

But We are delighted at the prospect of
being delivered from the responsibilities
Of answering for the iniquities Of our
opponents, and trust the nominations Of
the convention will give US co-laborers in
the cause of reform instead of lot of
lobby tools, who pocket the price OF their
votes and leave to the Republican major
ity the responsibility of their acts.

Each of them had an Office that was
wanted by somebody else, and little deli

1t will be observed there is no principle
involved in this scramble for Office. There
is no schisn in the Democratic party ex-
