ing to fill some appointment in the in
terror.
There is no doubt in our minds that the
arrogant and intolerant Democracy have
crushed and kept down every interest Of
the South. They have repealed all ad-
vances of immigration and investment
and have held Southern States and cities
helpless, while commercial and agricul.
tural rivals have carried away the capital
and trade otherwise due to the South.
Thus far at the present Dem ocratic SEES
sion there has been neither q railroad,
levee, mint, nor any other appropria-
tion-save nine thousand dollars to make q
Democratic issue over supposed convictions
of customhouse fraud.
What have our merchants, mechanics
and landlords to expect from a party
which is opposed to progress? We have
as yet had nothing done by Congress for
the interests of Louisiana, but hear the
extraordinary assertion that at the next
session the Democracy will give us the
railroad and levees. Why not now? The
credit of the government is good. The
other States have had ten dollars for in
ternal improvements where the South has
one.
The Democracy has majority in the
the lower house. The Republicans are
for protection and internal Improvements
on principle. Why wait for our rights?
The mechanics and merchants of the city
are, therefore, interested in harmonizing
this social strife, or at least in knowing
what it is all about. 1t would be proper
for them to demand from each party q
nomination of men honest and capable of
airing their opinions. There should be
some declaration of position about protec-

ha'penny politicians-by which we mean
those who represent Less than two and
half per cent Of the representative power
of the Union-should let the people know
what is their policy, that the people may
know whether it is worth while to set
tie down into industrial ruin, or be killed
up in election riots, to decide which set
of the two-penny ha'pen ny politicians
shall enjoy the State gov eminent and its
patronage, pass the cigars, wines and
sugars of the Customh ouse, or the per-
quisites of the Postofice. We apprehend
that these are about all the principles Of
the Democratic demandants, and that
they will protect these sp oils with hound
and horn, even to the purlieus Of the fed
eral courts or the picket line of the federal |
camp. Let us have some American and
Southern stump speaking, and let the
heroes of Coushatta and the sharpshoot-
ers Of the clubs be put under guard for
the time being.

Reading over the list of convicts sent
to the State prison for larceny, robbery,
embezzlement and assault, a stranger
would naturally conclude that no murders
are committed in New Orleans The fact
is, murder is as frequent here as any other
capital offense; but that particular crime
is too popular to cause a man to be de-
prived Of his liberty, except in aggravated
cases of poverty on the part of the MUIR

GOOD ENOUGH.

There is but little prospect of improv-
ing q self-satisfed Pharisee who thanks
God he is not as other men are. It is idle
to reason with sailor who pities the peo-
pie who live in houses during storms on
land and sea. Democratic speakers are
constantly praising the virtues found in
the party to which they belong, and all
desires for abatement of corruption within
the party are forestalled.
At the Democratic convention in Louis
vile, Mr.. w. G. P. Breckenridge, Ken
lucky colonel, heretofore accounted sane
and allowed to go at large, made a speech
in which he said:
The meauest Democratic candidate on the
meanest Democratic platform, is better
than the best Republican candidate on the
best Republican platform.
From the Courier-Journal we learn that
the sentiments expressed by Mr.. Breck-
inridge were received with great favor by
the assembled wisdom Of Kentucky De.
mocracy. He made the case, and left the
Republican party without standing in the
court of public opinion in hich men are
judged by their acts. These are the sort
Of speeches that tell on the stump. They
are straws with whic b the average Demo-
crat likes to tickle himself. The speaker
might have amplified and illustrated
his theomancy by saying that Demo-
cratic Boss Tweed, who stood on
a Democratic platform and stole
six millions of dollars, and that
Prize Ring John Morrissey, who bruised
his way into Congress with bar-room and
Democratic hackers, were angels of light
and goodness compared to such men as
Lincoln, Andrew, Sumner and their sue
cessors, foisted on the public by Repub-
licans and Republican platforms. The
burglar and bruiser, being Democrats, are
better than the best patriots and states
men of the republic simply because they
are Democrats. Pendleton, and Kerr, and
Colonel Fitzhugh, are as high above the
tfuest and best men of the Republican
party as the Washington monument is
higher than the grave of Wilkes Booth,
simply because they are Democrats.
With such absurd notions of Democratic
goodness and Republican badness, the
Democrats are going bitterly into the
coming campaign. They cry for good
Offices and not for good men. Their re-
form clubs are made of men who need re-
formation. In New Orleans man can
become president of Democratic club
without ever having been superintendent
of a Sabbath school. One murder at a
meeting, by Coushatta stranger, makes
small figures for the mortuary report of
so.called Democratic reform club con-
ference. In the case of the latest murder
in New Orleans club the victim had
been pointed out as man who had once
voted the Republican ticket The libelous
charge Was probably unfounded; but
what right had he to live? The echoing
sound of the strangers pistol said:
mo right" and in a day or two
there was funeral. It is true that for
fifteen years Democrats have not been
much in positions to inappropriate pub
lie funds or disgrace the country since the
surrender of their guns at Appomattox,
out whenever able, they have been re-
active. By the murder of Presi-
lent Lincoln few of them got into Office.

An ISSUE OF FORCE.

issues will leave nothing between the two
parties except the comparative personal
qualifications of the candidates.
The Ohio Democracy has declared in
favor of paper mill currency, and for q
tariff Of revenue only, but the party has
made no effort to amend or repeal the
present tariff, nor to enact the bill of Mr..
Morrison into law. The meaning of this
last policy is very obvious. They fear
to dist urb the existing industries at the
North or West, and defer the execution
Of their theory until they shall have Sc
cured new lease of politica! power. The
Democracy has seized upon every public
dollar and acre available for works OF
Western improvement and Senator
Bogy, of Missouri, explained couple Of
years ago that the Democratic opposition
to So Oh appropriations was no longer an
inex orable article of the creed.
Everywhere the Democracy accept the
constitutional amendments, and at the
South they profess consent to abide by
and obey them. What difference, then,
exists between the two parties? Appar-
emily none, and yet there has never been
more bitterness, more violence, OF SO much
defamation of political opponents as now
prevails, especially at the South. Con-
gross has resolved itself into an exparte
inquisition. Its members sit in secret
conclave, while some itinerate throughout
the country to find the material of party
canvass. The currency, the revenue, the
foreign policy Of the country lie silent on
the table, while the whole representative
power of the country is devoted to the
success of a party campaign.
In Louisiana, as in Mississippi, there
were absolutely no other issues than q re-
sort to abuse, intimidation and force.
The great commercial and agricultural in
terests of Louisiana have received the
most faithful and effective representations
from Republican Representatives. Lou
isiana Democracy is claiming internal
a protective tariff and an
equal share of federal appropriations at
the hands of Republican President and
Senate, while it openly recommends and
vindicates the use of violent and even
of murderons means TO insure the
success of its candidates. This po-
litical hypocrisy is shameful A pro-
fession of profound respect for the ma
tional will, with settled determ ination
that it shall not be carried into effect
without the notification Of the suffrage
which it has given; the acceptance of
the additional political power which the
constitution has assured to the
South, with the practical exclusion of the
class to whom it is due from political
by those to whom it has been
yiven-these things all point to sur
render Of all political principle, q pro-
Eession of political assent, while there is |
\ deadly determination to seize the gov
eminent Of the State by force, or make |
he tenure of Office to political opponent
he price of life.
