The P;cayune speaks of the '''diferen
views of the subject taken by some of tn
. Conservative members"
It takes quito an expanse of cheek TO
one party to. q combination to take Il
itself the exclusive results of the common
effort. and yet this is precisely the grail
made in the name of Democracy for thai
which has been achieved by its Conserva
tive partners. 1t is, we suppose, evident
to all that the Democratic party of Cal
houn has been defeated throughout the
South. While in power it was the most
intolerant CT organizations. A Southern
Wing was to Them ar abolitionist, and in
no case did they ever appoint or elect any
man to Office whose record was not of the
strictest Sect. The very fact that this
sect has accepted as partners Liberal
Republicans, old Wings and Reformers
is proof that it can not effect its purposes
without. help, and the claim that the
House of Representatives Of Louisiana is
held by.a Democratic majority" would
be fraud were itinot . farce. The lead
ing resisters of compromise were Demo
Gratis. The men who merely submit to
the compromise, with protest against its
obligations if not administered to their sat-
isfaction, are Democrats. But for the per-
sistent advocacy of the Conservative mem
bers there would be at present no House
to hold a majority in. These men who
made the compromise were denounced as
traitors by the leading Democrats, and
yet these last stalk into q session held
against their wishes as say to Conserve
tive men, Stand aside; this is Demo-
cratic House, and we shall proceed to
elect an anti-compromise member who is
. Democrat, over any Conservative mem
Der who voted for the compromise.
Fortunately, it is only necessary that
the Democracy should expose its pur-
poses to secure its defeat. It could not
carry the election of 1872 without aid, and
it fused with the opponents of every po-
litical principle ever professed by South
ern Democrats. 1t took up high tariff |
candidates, Abolition candidates and car
pet-baggers of tho most radical stripe |
Since that period it has taken another
alias and is now known as a member in |
commendon, of the Conservative party. |
Like the unknown principles Of an exclu-
sive gas or other franchise, it is never
known until the application has been sue
cessful, when the Democracy comes for
ward and claims title in monopoly to all
The common acquisitions.

hat in no two sections OF tho Union do
