New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-01-09

transporting here there were but few such
men in the old free States, as vallandig-
man, sunset Cox and Fernando Wood;
men who denounced the general govern
ment for enforcing the laws against the
ieoe!hon, even to the extent of using mil
i.ary force; and by'doing so earned for
themselves the unenviable title Of "copper"
mead Democrats. Mr.. Cox's course at
that time ruined his political prospects in
Oho' and he removed to the city of New
1ork' where he has succeeded in again be-
coming member Of Congress, and, We
Judge still retains his ''Copperhead" pro-
chVitles II the Geographic dispatches from
washington report him correctly. He is
reported to have said recently in the
house OF Representatives, when speaking
on the course Of TIE administration in
Louisiana. that it ''holds up the white
banner to other nations. and makes war
upon the American people," We know
that MIR. Cox condemned the course of Mr..
Alncolns administration in regard to the
rebellion Of the South, and are therefore
not surprised at what he says in regard to |
Mr.. Grants administration. But. as We
have already said, there were but few men /
IN the old free States who thought and
acted like Mr.. Cox when the country was
seriously assailed by a rebellion of more
IMAM ordinary significance. The people
OF the North. East and West were then
almost unit in support Of the party in
control Of the federal government. and
which had undertaken to maintain the
supremacy OF the laws. That party has
been IN power ever since. its acts having ,
been repeatedly endorsed through four
presidential terms. The Democratic party | ,
fought 1t on the issues Of the war in 1864, | ;
did the same thing in 1868 and 1879, and ! ;
was defeated each time. the verdict of the ,
people being overwhelmingly in favor of :
Inc Republican party. As the party has :
been adjudged to be right in the past. | E
in its efforts to enforce the
avs, maintain the sovereign authority of =.
ne federal government and the integrity \
II the country; and as the Democratic :,
'arty seems determined to make the =
ssues of the next presidential election 6
'retty much the same as thew .
7ere in the last, it will not be difficult for =,
ne people to determine what party is =;
'ght in their demands of settlement of =;
'oulslanas difficulties. The Democracy
lust not be allowed to deceive the people
ther in regard to the action of the fed
raj administration or the conduct Of
eneral Sheridan. If President Lincoln FL
as highland the people have so de-
ared-ln sending General Butler here to G.
Ut down rebellion, President Gran. is co
ghs in sending General Sheridan here. op
mere an armed rebellion has threatened n'
supplant lawful government by over ~,
ling both State and federal laws. We 80,

are far too intelligent to be deceived la,
Democratic Misrepresentation Of the aft
