| The Ptcayune gives notice that til
compromise IS purely political an,
that no let up in billingsgate may be ez
pected by Republicans. It is a Hstl
different from the meek doctrine an
nounced by this censor Of moral
when it was involved in a controyers,
with the Times. Then the Times charged
that the Picayune had sent an agent tt
ask loan of money from Mr.. Kellogg
| with the additional intimation that his ex
Excellency Warmoth had lent the money
to extricate that journal from its embar.
| easements. The return for the accomnlc.
dalton asked Of MIR. Kellogg was para.
graph of abuse The notice Of Mr.. War
moth was complimentary. There was
another portion of the Tines article
which referred apparently to some subject
which the Picaylne seemed ito deprecate
as utterly unwarrantable by any rules OF
decent journalism, and as incompatible
with the commonest law Of Jour
alistic decency." When all this took
place the Picayune preached journalistic
courtesy. Now it is of opinion that moth
ing kindly or respectful should be said of
any political opponent. Very WELL Let
that be the rule. If these opponents have
stood this stream Of obloquy steadily di-
rected TOR several years from the nozzle Of
the PIC, it may be endured with compare
tive philosophy. We are to understand,
then, that the Pic party has no other use
forany Republican except to borrow money
from him, or join him in a butchers
meat, lottery, State House, park or levee
Job. This object accomplished the Dem
ocratic share of the tran saction is to be
covered in" to the Picayne party pocket,
while the cannonade Of abuse, under cover
of which this bargain and division Of spells
has been made, is to be continued with
undated fury. The public will I'M
this strategy. But viii
the public also take into consideration
what has been the cost of eli this abuse?
In the first place it has consolidated the
republican party throughout the Union.
It has enacted the reconstruction laws.
passed the enforcement bill, brought
United States troops and almost placed
Louisiana in the guard house of the
Union. What has effected this? Nothing
Except the abusive tone liz which the op
position press has spoken of every man
md every act of the Republican party. |
The opposition party has taken up the
var cry and has committed all those
cts of which Congress has taken
ognlzance. The opposition press has
aused the enactment of laws
hitch the presidential election Of
SIG can not repeal. That press has done
ven more. The Democracy CT the North
nd West are afraid of coming to the aid
party which the masses believe to be
, state Of rebellion, thinly disguised BY
declaration that they have nothing
salnst the army of the United States.
ow, the Picayune should remember that
hlle the Republicans may have no
lends here even among those who bor-
'w their money, there are many friends
order and fair play and many enemies
social oppression elsewhere. That the
'mpathy OF these people has been shown
be worth something, might be shown {
the testimony of Mr.. McEnery if taken
pom that point. 1t has decided a ques-
on indispensable to the maintenance of
lbhc order 1t is thus known that the {
'coy4ae proposes to attract here the peo-
e and capital of which Louisiana stands q
need S
A political compromise has been made 1
which the opposition gains an inside S
'sition TO continue their fight. No social
Witty and 40 business encouragement is t
be given to the Republi cans. Is this r
position taken? Then before any Re t.
blican abroad shall venture here he Il
q better know that he incurs social u
.racism if he does so; that the relations t!
ward him will be strictly limited to bor- t
wing his money, as did antonio, and O
IN, like him, to say that he is like tt
repeat his abuse. Such we understand C.
be the position of the Picayunc, b
l such is undou btedly the tone Il
the campaign paper Of the uncompro- CO
sers. Let, then, this systematic de- II
1eiadon of every man who differs with
Democracy continue. We sincerely tn
st it may Not occasion as much injury 10
louisiana and to the business of New la
cans as it has hereto fore done. If the IS
ayune won't be civil to Republicans, WI
n after it has borrowed, or tried to to
row their money, we can't help it. WI
