Especial attention is called to the ibelous
language beginning with "Ae wseducated
Irish and German uote Ties the hands and defeats
the uM Of the cultured and patriotic Citizens to
yecsify ,crongs and reform abuses" The prin-
ciples (the Republic ssys) of the Republican
party are those Of moral and political honor
and Of national progress, but have but little
expression IN the face Of the Priest-led vote.
Now, TO talk seriously about the morals and
honor Of the Republican party, when con-
trasted with its acts Of unblushing venality,
dishonesty and corruption in every de-
partment is about the best joke of the
season, and ought to have emanated more
appropriately from the Danbuy Ne.os than
from Grants recognized organ.
No party, in the South ct least, sustains
the present Republican Administration, ex-
cept the carpet bag ofice-holders, scalawags
and the negroes, and the latter outnumber
the two former in the proportion Of twenty to
one, and yet the Republic publishes, and the
Republican Of New Orleans republishes. the
solemn declaration, substantially, that the

best blood Of our Catholic fathers, in common
With their illustrious Protestant compatriots,
