Mr.. Blackburn offered the following reso-
luton: ...
WHEREAS, The doctrine or political theory
that ito the victors belong the spoils," is the
only safe party rule, and does not at all
necessarily imply corruption or venality,
because if party is right its principles are
worthy to be upheld and preserved by an
equal and proper distribution of its patron
age among its members, contrary course
being not only individually unjust to those
who strive and toll for party success, but
demOralizing both to the successful party
itself and to the body politic in general, |
and therefore never should be INDUCED |
where competent and worthy men may be |
found to Ell the Offices and places Of emolu- |
ment and honor accruing under a Triumph |
of their party: therefore be it
Resolced, That it is the sense and senti- |
ment of this Senate that all the appointive |
Offices in this State should be given to true
and worthy and competent Republicans,
and that the Republican Senator'S should in |
all cases be advised with and consulted in re-
gard to all appointments in their respective
senatorial districts; that We will not coun-
tenance any other policy on the part of our
Republican Governor, to sustain and uphold
and trust he will at once see the Justice of
our position. and readily and cheerfully |
accord with us.
Resolred further, That it is of the first
Importance to the continued success and |
of the Republican party of Loui-
siana, and is demanded by the strict rule both
Of political and moral justice, that all the
patronage of the Custcmhouse at New Or.
leans should not only be melted ont to true
and competent members OF the Republican
party, but the distribution should also be
IS equally as possible distributed among
he party throughout the State, each parish
being entitled to some consideration and
in the premises; that the best
places should invariably be accorded the
Oldest and most uniformly faithful and |
competent members of the party; and with
his view OF political equity and Justice, we
Express 1t as our sense Of right and pro-
,riety that our Republican Senators and
representatives in the Congress of the
United States should be heard and consult
d in regard to the proper distribution of
his Customhouse patronage, and also in |
eaard to all other appointments affecting |
