New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-05-06

DEGRADATION of the emancipated people OF
the South, and to this huge evifwill %
superadded the additional evil OF politicaI
coalition with the Democratic party OF the
North to make this Southern eectionslism,
with the oppression OF the negro, perpetual.
It will be seen, therefore. that tho question
of principle involved in the emancipation
of the negro and the overthrow of the Con-
federate power as an organized force for
evil, either outside or inside of the Union,
still constitutes the life blood and cohesive
element OF the Republican party, and that
these are as binding on George William
Curtis and Mr.. Adams to-day as they are
upon Wendell Phillips and Frederick Doug
lass.
1t is easy to send forth words OF pro-
phetic fore -shadowing, but yet somewhat
hazardous to those who value their ieputa-
ton. But feel With strong conviction
that the Republican convention. soon to
assemble at Cincinnati, will give us ticket
and platform of national administration
and declaration of principles which will
sweep like mighty flood from Maine to
California, putting an end forever to
Southern political sectionalism and TO the
policy of terrorism over and outrage upon
the negro voter, by which alone that Sec
tionaliem can be maintained. b.

A Portrait Of Washington.

John Fl. Clarke, photographer, No. lol
Canal street, has on exhibition in his
saloon, an old portrait OF George Washing
ton, which is pronounced an original. The
date of the work and the name of the ar
tist are unknown, but it must have been
painted when the subject was near the end
of his days. The lips are sunken, the hair
is of silvery white end the faes-a smost
silking one-bears the imprint of old age.
The figure is clad in the old Continental
uniform with blue cleak with scarlet
lining thrown back from the shoulders. Tho
picture has the marks of time and ill-usage,
1t has been in the possession Of Leuisia-
ma family for the past sixty years. and is
now offered for sale. A large number of
people have visited Mr.. Clarke's saloon to
examine this really interesting antiquity.
