New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-03-16

appesr tAat the Democracy have beer
able even to assure their own gain
of the preceding election. They hav'
not been able to restrain thei
nullihcati on allies. Their position hal
been exposed by the impotence of those
allies to bring Zthe action and secure
the scalps of Republican oficeholders
That the men Of New Hampshire sympa
thize with personal oppression has been
shown by their anti-slavery action. That
they dread and detest notification and dis.
union has been demonstrated by thei,
record ID the war. What, then, had the
Democracy to recommend themselves to
the people? Nothing except the alleged
errors of the federal administration. 1t
occurred to Republican people that if
there was any discrepancy between the
practice and principles Of Republicans in
office it would be much. better to replace
Objectionable Republican officers than to
disband the party and throw the whole
governmeEtinto the hands Of a party which
has no principles which are the same in
any two States of the Union. The small
experime Mt of one year seems to have
satisfied the people of New Hampshire
that they had nothing to expect from De-
mocracy, and that it would be better to
cast out Schurz and some other discon-
tented Republicans than to surrender
their camp and organization.
We find, then, that the Democratic
stable taken to the New Hampshire races
were scarcely unblanketed at all, as the
best tim 10 they could make had been
already discounted. The Democratic
leaders therefore withdrew these entries
and paid forfeit. They had read-these
leaders the dispatch of the
Governor of Ohio Offering
to put down the Democratic
'insurrection" in Louisiana. They had
,een the remarks of the Demo-
cratic Sc ator from Ohio to the nullifi-
,ation emissaries from Louisiana, and
lad hear ID the door Of the Democratic
'aucus slammed in the face of the same
'missaries. They had even heard, when
senator Gordon stood upon the doorstep
# the caucus, and said: ''See here; we don't |
vant no political gypsies loafing around
lere. Ours is decent Union Hotel, it is,
nd we don't wish our neighbors to see no
UGH dangerous caricters talking to none
+ our people. So please go away" He
nay have added in a whisper: "Just
rop around after dark, and we may
pare yop some cold patronage-after We
ct it,"
Is there no correspondence between
oncord and Washington? Are there no
eople who can read and write in
1859 cities? We rather suppose the
ational Democrats may have COM
lunicated their dread of the "re-
ellious tendencies of Southern De.
to the Democratic leaders
i'd counseled the utmost caution in en-
Toying Southern issues. Hence, accord
g to o. pr impression, the woes Of Louis
ma did not "nationalize" worth cent in
ew Hampshire.
We add extracts from the st. Louis
lobe which tend to substantiate the
cory advanced in this article:
The canvass was conducted on the basis
the most intense Radlcalism, the South
n question being that discussed exclu
vely by Fred Douglass and Mr.. Frye.
Inasmuch as the Democratic speakers.
'nator Gordon and Mr.. Lamar, were nat
ally undesirous OF firing the Northern
heart by the presentation Of
ews as advanced as Mr.. Eaton, for in.
ance. would have presented, for fear Of
G reflex action, and so roared as gently as
cking doves, the advantage was alto.
Their on our side on the stump.
We construe the election in New Hamp-
ire then to mean Republican reform by
Q Republicans themselves, and I'M
allied hostility to Democratic multi
alton.
