superior virtue Of the people over that o.
the kings. For If the smaller numbe,
assume that it is oppressive in the larger
number to differ from them in vote, "a
whom is this minority to appeal? MOI
to the majority, for it is. they say, q
tyrant Not to force, because that is
peremptorily against them. The minority
can only appeal to that Divine right to
govern upon which reposes the claim OF
the Stuart and the Bourbon. It would
be as inconsistent as it would be vain to
resort to the discarded theories of auto
cracy or aristocracy for relief against the
expressions of that majority which gave
nd maintains every right that the mino-
rity possess.
There is another popularity in our in
situations which no ''native and heredi-
tary" despotism affords. It is the abso-
lutte right of electing another citizenship.
Any ono who deems this an oppressive
and unjust form of government may re-
nounce his obligations of republican
citizenship, and-having complied with
any subsisting obligations to the criminal
law-take the oath Of allegiance to any
other government that he likes better.
He can then continue his residence here,
with the admitted right to abuse the form
Of republican government which any other
alien may do with perfect impunity, and
to any extent of pen or lungs whatever.
We have written at such length because
the time has come to settle as defnitive-
ly in public opinion as has been done by
national law, the question whether this is
the government of national and numeri.
cal majority, or whether there is an out
standing and reserved right in corpora
tons, interests or communities, to arrest
the will Of, and define the powers of this
national majority. We make no apology,
because it is really the question whether
q million Of men have died in vain, and the
effect Of peace and amnesty is simply to
reorganize the contest and renew the war.
We know that these views will be read by
reflective and intelligent minds, and we
look infinitely more to their influence in
debate than to any extended circulation
Or influence of our own. These views
will, moreover, make known to the press
and people elsewhere the purpose of q
portion of our population to revive these |
ssues. while an infinitely greater number |
prefer to stand by the Republican basis

SENSIBLE AND sEAsONABLE ADVICE.

SENSIBLE AND sEAs0NABLE ADVICE.
The New York Herald generally man
ages to be on the wrong side of American
politics most of the time, yet it occa-
sionally gives its fellow-partisans some
very good advice. The following extract
from that journal is very characteristic.
1t is, moreover, so very sensible that there
is little or no danger that the Democracy
will follow it. The recommendation that
the party SHOULD not be managed by
ounces, rebels or demagogues will be
especially unpalatable, since its strict ap-
plication would about break up the party
in the United States. We give the sug-
gestions the benefit of our circulation.
however, for the purpose of letting the
party in this city know the estimation in
which the ''ancient traditions are held in
the North:
THE DEMOCRATIC LINE OF ATTACK.
IT the Democratic leaders are wise thew
can win the next campaign for the presi-
dency; but they must not allow tue party
to be managed by ounces or rebels or dema-
goguee. who see in its success opportunity
to give life to those schemes of reputation
and national dishonor in which it has traf-
licked for so many years. The efforts of
one man like Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, will him
der the party and throw the government
into the hands of those Republicans from
whom it is now suffering. These are the
mistakes Democrats should avoid. Take
what We have seen in Louisiana and in
Mississippi as illustrations of what may
ensue if folly is allowed to prevail. In
Louisiana we had Q movement to impeach
Kellogg which for knavery could not have
been equaled in . Tsmmany convention in
the best days of Tweed. Here in Missis-
sippi we have Q transaction even mora
equivocal. A Democratic Senate impeaohes
demeanors," puts him on trial, sete q dav
for the investigation, hears his answer, and

CUSTER AND MERRILL.

the misfortune of being drawn into thu
tolls of the Democratic campaign com
mittee at Washington. Major Lewis Mer
rill, of the same regiment, had been on
duty in Louisiana. Stationed at Shreve.
port within two years, he has had ample
opportunity to study the dark ways Of
what is known as the Coushatta Democ-
racy. That he is an honest man and will
speak the truth when occasion requires
can not be doubted. The Clymer party
desire to impeach the testimony
of such men in advance, and poor
Custer has been induced to say that Major
Merrill ''once took bride while acting
as judge advocate of a courtmartial in
Texas" Custer first told the story five
years ago, when for reasons well known
to army officers, he had no great love for
the major of his regiment. He finally &C.
knowledged to the department commander
that he had no better authority for his
statement than the testimony of one of the
drunken officers who had been weeded out
of the army by the board over which Gen.
eral Hancock presided, and all army Off
GERS, from General Sherman down, con-
sidered the charges without foundation.
The matter dropped then, though Major
Merrill asked for q court of inquiry,
which was not granted. Major Mer-
ill graduated from West Point in
1855; at the beginning Of the war
he was lieutenant of the Second ORA
goons, and raised regiment of cavalry
in Missouri, and became its colonel; for
long time he commanded brigade of
cavalry which operated against the forces
of General Price in Missouri and Ar
kansas, and for gallant service'at the cap
ture of Little Rock he was brevetted.
Major Merrill's whole course in the army
shows an honorable record, of sagacity
exhibited in performing difficult duty, and
of hard work well and faithfully done. 1t
is not for younger officers TO blot such q
record. Custer, a cadet when the war
broke out, had better luck in gaining pro-
motion. He had the good fortune to ride
to fame and glory with General Sheridan.
He was known as the "boy general"
and journalists gushed at his long curls |
Of yellow hair. He was full of dash |
and daring when there was fighting
to be done, or barn to be burned
IN the Shenandoah valley; sober
garrison duty was irksome to him, and
since the war he has made himself as
comfortable as he could chasing Indians,
hunting bufaloes, travelling with grand
1ukes, owning race horses, writing for the
press and SO on. Everybody likes Gus
er, personally, but the old officers look
lpon him as an cratic and spoiled child.
3e is in the army what Joaquin Miller is
n the true world of letters. His testi-
nony can not tarnish the bright record
# Major Merrill; but the boy General,
living in glass house, has unwittingly
ct himself up as q target for every OFF,
er on the plains to shoot at, while the
Democratic campaign committee will
My laugh at him for his efforts to injure
be best officer in the Seventh Cavalry.

ANOTHER PROMISE HUNG UP TO WAIT

ANOTHER PROMISE HUNG UP TO WAIT
The Washington correspondent of thu
Times announces the impeachment of thu
President within ten days. This is the
shortest notice he has given any of the
parties who have been threatened by him
with disturbance. Perhaps he learned
some of the secret intentions of the
Democratic nosing committee from his
chum Jerry (Black), who is also very in.
innate with old Hester Clymer. Whether
the thing was told him in the strictest
confd ence as joke, or whether he in
vented it all by himself, is matter of
but little moment. There is no doubt
that the controlling majority of the Demo-
Gratis in the House would be glad of an op-
portunity to get even with Grant for some
pranks he played upon their friends few
years ago. He turned Pemberton and
twenty-seven thousand Southern citizens
out OF Vicksburg in 1863, and subse-
quently hunted JEFF Davis out of Rich
mond. The thunders.of his cannon dis
turbed the pious meditations of that Dem.
ocratic saint while seated in his pew on q
Sabbath day in April. But the browning
outrage was his relieving General Lee
from the command of the Army of North
ern Virginia, and taking charge of what
was left of it himself. Lee took up the
birch of the pedagogue and retired to Lex
ington, and Grant took up the rule of this
great empire. It will be very grim joke
when these bafied conspirators present
such man at the bar of the Senate, and
impeach him in the name of the Confed-
crate Democracy.
If anything could make the American
people rise up and demand that Grant
shall have third term of the presidency,
this act of supreme folly and malignant
spite would do it. While Messrs. Bayard,
Herman and Maxey are whimper-
ing in the Senate to have the bloody chasm
closed, the Confederate brigadiers in the
House are shouting, ':hold on till we can
pitch into it the man who whipped us!'
The chasm closes, and the advocates of
good feeling never remember their fine
naxims when they see any chance to graf |
fy their longings for revenge. But when |
me Of them is wanted for perpetrating q |
rhine in the interests of the Democratic |
,arty, we hear all about the beauties of |
love and the good that will come |
ut of the ''era of good feeling"

THE REPUBLICAN A NINE-YEAR-OAD'
The REPUBLICAN completes its ninth
volume with the present number, having
been first ushered into existence on the
tenth of April, 1867. We do not think it
becoming in SO young journal to have
too much to say about itself We leave
all such egotistical practices to the two
vear-olds and other members of the fra
ternity of even more tender age. Though
this journal is now the oldest daily paper
in the city printed in the English
language without change of manage
ment, we do not think it worth while to
air our superior wisdom, begot OF
seniority. It may be proper for Us to
say, however, that retrospect brings us
little to regret in regard to intent, and
not much on account of want Of Jealous
endeavor. Its columns might have shown
more ability, but scarcely more earnest
ness in the principles which we believe to
be essential to the happiness of free
people.
We make no professions of putting
Louisiana before the Republican party,
because we can not conceive case in
which their respective interests can be
antagonized. The State is the people
and the people are the State, and the
true principles of the Republican party
teach the people to respect each others
rights and interests, and so far as it may
be in their power to do SO to promote
each others happiness. With all the va
zious elements of society in harmony with
each other, and all respecting the law,
there can be little danger to the State. It
has been the endeavor of the REPUBLICAN
to promote just such condition of affairs
during the nine years Of its busy life, and
such it will be in the future.
