Patriots not Politicians.

Patriots not Politicians.
The Mansfield Reporter falls into
line in condemnation Of this early
action with regard to tho formation
of political parties, bat, No think it
has gone too far, 10 this. wise only,
that ofabusins politicians, per &C. )
When We come to consider the fact
Of politicians az professionals, then
We agree with our able contemporary
in every respect. The great cause,
however, why our country lie in its
present condition, is owing greatly to
the disgust Of leading citisen., far =
long time refusing to have anything
to do with political matters at ALL.
from the fact that the professional
trickstcv wire-worked and descended
to such acts az were, to the gentleman
and scholar, in politics, disgusting.
We see to what condition this with.
drawal Of the representative citizen
from the arena, has redaced the con-
Try. Our position can be e1empli6ed
by a study Of the political history
of our own State for the past nine
years, and the grand formation made
last year, with the Baton Rouge Con.
vcntion as the starting point.
NO one in Louisiana has seen an
assamhlace IT .--- 4.~"pv.,~s :.
whole, to that Convention: 10 one
has witsessed such self-sacri6ce ia,
the good Of State, than was there
manifested, and no one can say that
the politicians, and when We say poll.
ticians we mean cDtce7 seekers, were
not completely ignored. They had M
claims upon the members of the Con.
vention, and if not told 80, the con
duet Of the delegates as a mass, was
such "a to convince them of the fact
that the People had ut last taken tic
matter in hand, and there was no op'
portuuity for the scllemcr to exercise
his vocation. ..,...%}
What we desire is, that all gooG
men shall continue in politics; thai
we shall educate our children, not t.
I've politicians, but, to take al inter
est in public affairs lively and deel
interest : 50 that in the future, ou1
country will not be disgraced by sucl
legislation such acts of thievery, al
have been exhibited during the pas
ten years in Federal, as we'll as Stat'
matters. d.
There are many men, We admit
who are demogogues, in our owl
party; this We feel Of course, grievet
at, but, we all should withdraw from
public affairs, and leave tho part!
management to them, then We are D,
better off, even if successful, than vi
would bs with the opposition in pow
