special purpose of protection is too thir
1t is too worn. It is too old. There
not how an active advocate Of protectio
per Sc any more than there is an activ
advocate Of abolition per Sc. The objee
ofrevenue has established protection. Tb
object of war established freedom. Horac
Greeley, for whom the Southern Demoe
racy voted, asked no protection. Gerri
Smith accepted emancipation. Each die
content with the success of his wishes
though neither reached the object by tn
precise mode he had proposed.
3. The initiation views of the Western
Democracy will decry or desert him be
cause he is suspected Of being friend 0
hard money for the people. and specie pay
ments for the government.
Could Mr.. E. Booth have read the Ohio
platform: Then does he not see that THU
"hard money" man $50. the people la,
accepted Office Oh an imitation platform
Has the last Roman fallen: Is William
| Allen a hard-money Democrat: Their
how can ne accept a flash money nomina.
ton: Is he an infationist: Then how
can Mr.. Z. Booth continue TO support
him:
!. Why ana wherefore. in the exigpncies
OF Ohio politics. ne came to offer 40 900 men
IN buckraM to suppress the fourteenth
September.
The explanation for this is. we regret to
say, jocular:
l can not assume ~ suppose what Mr..
Allen might say in palliation of his age, or
III explanation OF the 10000 men charged
up agains him in your columns, but having
now received the accIamative nomination
Of his party for Governor. and hi. election
being considered mora! certainty: ii he
should gain the presidential nomination. i.
will be safe to say that satisfactory expla.
nations will not be called for in vain.
This means. bein: interpreted. tina. an
Reclamation domination" as Governor
for smother term and the ''presidentia,
nomination" accorded to him, he will
then make a sa tisfactory explanation Of
his alacrity at suppressing instructions.
And is this Mr.. E. Booth who denounces
President Grant for having sent troops to
Louisiana to Cypress the people willing
to take a successor who stands pledged to
send troops to Lou isiana for the same
purpose! Is it want of sincerity or a
defect of logic which leads to this conclu-
sion: Nominate hard money candidate
on fiatulent platform: an anti-tariff can.
didate on platform which says nothing
against protection: a States rights candi-
date who would send forty thousand vol
unteers to suppress a State rights insur-
.ection. and candi date so old that he
has gone square back on all the ayowed
doctrines of his manhood.
We respectfully ask Mr.. E. Booth if this
IS the naturalization wherewith he would
have tire State rights Democracy of Louis
ANA nationalized: Why. if Mr.. William
Allen has, as avoweI by the New York
World, adopted the financial policy OF the
party, and shall carry GU: the
Of reconstruction as inaugu-
:ated by General Grant. Republicans may
,e reconciled to his support.
We do not, however, hold any Of our
Lake End Democrats to any profession Of
principle. They are all upper and a priv !
legged class. Anything from vote for
ireeley to commission signed by "the |
Kellogg" is lawful to Item. Mr..
:. Booth belongs. We presume. to these !!
lake End gentlemen. It will be only |
necessary to convene sufficient number
# these chieftains over fish and cham. f!
,agne dinner at Boudros or Miguei's
They will decide over the pousss cafe and
igar that William Allen, ST.. is ma
ional Democrat. standing ON a nationa!
'latform. and deserves the support of the
lational Democracy Of Louisiana, and be
rill receive an '.acclamative nomination"
or the Presidency. and may then rise to
xplain why he offered to send forty thou.
and volunteer Ohio Democrats to sup
ress the Democ ratio "insurrection" Of
.ouisiana.
