G. P. MORTON AGAIN.

-
| Referring to local para graph which ap-
| peared IN this paper some days ago, the Es-
puJfenn ostentatlously 1fags the name OF this
sianderer Of our people and Mephi-tophe lie
adv Of Grant before q community he has
done more 10 iDjure and Willy than any one
Of the unsarup1lous politicians who folio"
| lii lead. We had made up our mind to let
| the Indiana Senator severely alone during the
| reln Under OF his stay here, bat as the kellogg
organ persists ia harpin9 upon the nauseous
| saliec., We are constrained to speak out
plAinly ana without mental reserve upon the
record OF tint fonl specim "a Of what IS ap-
| propr,a ely named " Dutl-ri III.
Ben Batter stole all the Ealuaoles he could
lay hold Of while il command here, but @
z. Morton did worse, be attempted to steal
the good name OF people, the Lunblest OF
whom Is an angel OF virtue and shining
speci,ne en- Of the highest type of American citi.
| zanship when compared with the yenomous
and foul-mou.hed demagogue who mover
missed an opportunity to pour upon them q
torrent Of abuse and dummy which I1Iiatss
Of the lowest aens Of iDiamy would be
ashamed ito utter II any pubic place, and
which the United States Senate in its better
single moment. = is generally believed
that wien Crlnt had made 10 his mind TO
recognize Ike legally elected government q
Louisiana, and had actually prepared mes
sage to that effect, this 8 eminent man who,
tie RepuJLjctA tells rs, nov goes on mis-
sion for the bonef5 (?) Of New Orleans, used
his persua i've DOW is and his personal inhd-
ence as leader OF the Senatorial Radicals win
such effect tina; the President tinally
yeldet. TO lis advice, and took the
fatal step which, while etTec tu.!ly crush
ing his own political prospects and in
volying his party in di+grace, has sunk our
unhappy STATE still deeper in dcsolatloa,
anarchy and hopeless bankruptcy.
When Finchback first presented himself
with his bogus credentials, o. I. Morton, as
Chairman Of the Committee on Elections,
made an elaborate report il which his claims
to seat in the Senate were emphaticaily re-
puliated; but at the very next session Of Con
gross this shameless demagogue not only
'.went back upon himself and fought
strenuoasiy for Pinclb2ck's admission, but
even had the br,zen etffonterY to urge his
less unscrupulous party friends to stultify
themselves upon this question, :" because the
Republican party would be ruined in Louisi-
ana If his chocolate ompieXionei friend
l..,- ~ flrt,
himself had proclaimed lie had not the shad-
ow Of right This is the man whom the
Re,,tl,iicaa delights TO honor, and whom
il would have decent men welcome
and hug to their bosom as a benevolent
missionary AMI valued friend Of NV
Orleans and I.oUisian Verify, lar bet
ter il is to have consistent enemies than fool
ish friends, and the old apologize OF the bear,
who smashed his owners skull with tho most
benevolent" intentions in the world, is prac-
ticaiy revived by O. T. Nortoa's inlscseet
trumpet-Jlower.
The citizens of Nav Orleans appreciate
vary fully the demands OF hospitality, and de-
light to honor ycstltmea tIoin whatever section
Of the country they may come or whatever
may be tier politics; they know also VIA
their ST. respec demands, and they vii never
take ~ Tie hand or pretend t. honor tie man
who VA delighted 10 cast every manner oi
foul 4ls; tlls, aspersion upon them. WHO has
knowingly lnalig1ed them AID held them TIP
to the soorn ard contempt Of tho world.
MIR. Morton has placed himself outside the
Pale d consideration by oar ci.iz2ns forever.
FL has struck j. When h. lnaD wo were pow
erle-5 to r5sant Il, and III aga We struck him
10 back, We clam the privilege Of entertain
iug oGf opinion OF him.
