Had the New Orleans uprising been
delayed q month or two, the Demcc-
mcy would have slight chance Of
carrying the fall elections, but now
do not regard their success possible.
Sixty days since there were thousands
of ono party men :" who were ready
to vote the Democratic ticket because
Of corrnptjons laid at the door of the
Republican party, but they will hest
tate to do 50 now or two years hence.
The old issue of 1861 seems agnin up
on tus-Union or Disunion. And when
the alternative is presented to Amer
leans of supporting party which
would place another Buchanan in the
White House, or adhering to the or
ganization which would retain a Jack
son to cut off the first rebels ear
who dares to broach secession" their
attitude will not be doubtful. What
ever differences of opinion may exist
in regard TO the legality Of the Louis
lana government, the action of the
hero of Appomatox in choking down
the New Orleans rebellion is almost
universally approved.
The sentiment here is unanimously
against Southern White Leagueism.
The general government is looked to
to suppress violence and intimidation
and insure fair elections and a peace
full acqniescence in the result by each
party. Until the White Leagues con-
sent to lay aside their rule or ruin
policy and assume peaceful attitude,
federal interference will continue in
the Southern States and it will have
the approval Of a vast majority of
the people of the United States.
Hoping that the "Dunn Republi-
cans" have bolted themselves out in
the cold and are "dope' for, and
that the upper ward will be repre-
sented by an intelligent and active
Republican IN the next Assembly. ] |
