New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-09-21
GOOD OUT OF EVIL,

| abuse and violence which animates the
Democracy against Republicanism. The
crops have been cultivated by the negro
| laboreIs, and ut least one Democratic
journal advises the white people to dis
pense with the employment of negroes
and so compel them to feel their depend
| ence as to submit their suffrage to Demo-
cratic direction.
The doctrine has been openly taught,
!. That the negro snail not be allowed to
vote except under such direction as indicat-
| ed. .. That the white members of the Re
publican party shall be punished or
| killed 3. That the REPUBLICAN shall be
Silenced
In very incendiary Grafton pronounced
| by Mr.. Bruins upon the anniversary OF the
fourteenth OF September, he labors these
| propositions with extraordinary fervor.
| Usually there is II the obsequies Of the
dead some admoniticn Of mortality and
| some suggestion to moderate the acerbities
| of domestic strife. This Grafton arraigns
the Republican party us unfit to be al
lowed admission into society, and charges
il with all the political evils which exist.
In one portion the negro is treated as
barbarian incapable of suffrage, in another
he will be allowed this exercise under
proper direction. The uegrois denounced
for the alleged formation of a political
association, while the white is commended
for the organization Of military force
which We are told still continues in exist
euce.
The succession of Mr.. pinchback as
Governor is stigma TIED rs fragrant
fraud, while the whole Democratic city
administration OF Mayor Wilt and his
associates took their COMMISSIONS from
acting Governor Pinchback. Governor
Kellogg is usurncr whom no compro-
mise and no concession can legaliZe, and
yet the Democratic members of Congress
elect hold his commissions as credentials
to be recognized by Congress, and Dem
ocratic majority of the lower house of
our Legislature hold their seats by the
same tenure. The particular share of
this obloquy which has been directed
against this paper deserves no particular
comment and certainly no complaint.
To concentrate the fire of all available
Democratic batteries against our position
proves s. peculiar Importance to our
efforts. As the advocate of that amnesty
to which this form Of mischief is due, as
the agent and organ of all the public
favor which has been bestowed by the
Republican government upon this State
and city, as the advocate of all the re-
forms which the Republican party has
effected, and those which it is pledged to
effect, we accept the chivalrous war of
the strong against the weak We admire
the art with which, while protesting ODE
dience to the authority of government
Which can not be resisted, the combina-
ton which perscutes the Republicans of
the State bows to the authority of the
Republican government of the Union.
But out Of oil this injustice comes
good. II is thus that Democracy exposes
its purpose. Is is to rule this State. 1t
is TO march TO the empire Of party, over
the poverty and ruin of every material in
torest. Do the business men and property
holders expect that when this Democratic
rule shall have been established they will |
participate? Has Democracy ever recog-
nized an ally after q victory? The spoils
of conquest would be divided among
the Democracy according to their re-
spective dates Of party services. Wings,
Conservatives, Fusionists, would be
soon taught the flaw in their several
records, and party which never yet insti-
tuted a measure Of usefulness, and no !
more knows peace than an Arab of the |
desert, would reign in exclusive control |
of every Office, emolument and contract. |
SO much violence and injustice must |
teach the substantial interests of the city |
and State that n war against labor capt.
tai and immigration is at hand and that |
the notes Of the war trumpet are heard
in every Democratic speech, and per-
wade every Democratic paragraph.
