pirate of the resolutions of 1898 and the
rights Of the States, when both are as dead
in law as the alien and sedition acts?
Let there be joint session of the
Republican and Democratic parties. Let
joint committee be appointed to
cancel and eliminate all the doctrines
which have been defeated or estab-
lished. Let US see upon what we
really disagree with the Democracy, and
in what they really agree among them
selves, A calling in and scrutiny of those
cid free tickets might be made, when the
free list might be greatly reduced and
made far more agreeable than with the
seedy political sold clo'" and the breath
compounded of whisky and garlic which
one was compelled to accept with dis
cussion Of Democratic doctrines.
The political press demands the
synopsis of dispute, the cancellation
Of equivalent quantities. 1t demands
political clearing house for the
exchange of reciprocal obligations.
The press must have balance sheet
in which these eternal old headings shall
be carried to the profit and loss of parties
and sunk. Mr.. Webster's celebrated
metaphor Of taking an observation with
the first rift in the clouds, that We may
see where we are, was never SO much
needed. Let US have the free list re-
formed and the issues restated. The
press can not carry all the irrelevant
trash with which the political discussions
must now be conducted. Can not we
have centennial settlement-a jubilee,
and general discharge from the debt and
bondage which has weighed down the
parties of the past? What says the press,
which has to pay SO much composition in
explanation Of the past anger and stu
pidity of our political progenitors?

TWO SURRENDERs.

The Southern people fought with the
courage Of their race, for question of
right, according to their doctrines, and a
question OF property, according to their
ethics. The arbiter to which they ap-
pealed decided both points against them.
In this decision, the great mass Of those
who fought the war acquiesced. Those
who took bomb-proof positions; partici-
pated in the war from Paris, Nassa1 and
London; sustained the Confederate cause
by exporting cotton in exchange for bacon,
and importing silks, champagne and
broadcloth, have proven entirely irrecon-
cilable.
The surrender Of the military resistance
and the sincere acceptance of renewed
constitutional covenant has marked the
mass of the fighters and their fellows.
The Democratic politicians have held out
resolutely until very recently. They have
at last surrendered also. They have sur
rendered every principle of their ancient
faith. They surrendered to an abolition
list and protectionist in supporting Horace
Greeley. They surrendered their hostility
to the arming and suffrage of the negro in
voting for F. P. Blair, and now in seek
ing railroads, canals and levee embank-
ments from Congress they surrender the
doctrines Of Calhoun and Mason to-the
treasury Of the United States.
There have been, then, two surrenders,
the one military and the other political.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-12-12

The first was made by soldiers to superior
force Of arms; the other by Democratic
politicians, who held out until compelled
to capitulate by salary famine, and re-
duced to abandon their opposition by the
prospect Of spoils.
While the outside world may sympathize
with and respect the first surrender and
the fidelity with which the soldiers faith
has been kept, they can not but entertain
contempt for the mulish opposition and
mercenary submission of the Democratic
politicians. These last seem to have
fought for Office in or out of the Union.
Evicted from power at the outbreak of
war, they took possession of the Copfed-
crate Offices, contracts and spoils until the
Confederate soldier surrendered. They
resisted any submission manfully SO long
as no prospect appeared for their rein
statement in federal office. With the first
dim and eyanescent show of favor they
lift up their countenances reconciled to
the Union, and are willing to testify the
sincerity of their submission by holding
any Office, or accepting any salary within
the gift of the people. The fraternities
Of the Union are thus restored by con-
quering the brave, who keep their faith,
and appeasipg the venal, who have no
motive for peace or war other than the
spells of Office.

The PRESIDENTS RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Picayune is concerned lest the re-
concentrations to Congress occupy too
much valuable time, and protract the ses-
sion. We think there is no great danger
from this source. There are three or four
hundred men in Congress, to say nothing
Of the clerks and lobby members. Such 3
body Of statesmen ought to accomplish a
good deal of work in six or eight months.
The several recommendations of the mes
sage are generally referred to as many
different committees for appropriate &C.
ton, so that the whole burden Of prepar-
ing laws does not fall on one man, or
even small number.
President Grant has certainly NO. re-
commended unconstitutional action. If
he has urged Congress to take control of
certain interests'not appertaining to Con-
gressional action, it simply means the
adoption of a joint resolution to amend
the constitution. We do not know that
there is any limit to the power Of amend
ment, if we except the prohibition to give
the States unequal representation in the
Senate. If the people of the United
States wish to commit the control of
schools or church property TO Congress,
they are as we'll able to do SO as to eman-
cipate the slaves and extend the right of
suffrage to the freedmen. We know the
people may do this, and believe such
step to be proper, but reserve discussion
on the merits for future occasion.
Congress can not be better employed
than in considering suggestions from
President Grant for the benefit OF the
public. He has fully discharged his duty.
The rest remains with the representatives
OF the people
