Last Thursdays Democrat surely pre-
dicts the approaching dissolution of
the party from which it takes its
name. The burden Of this premial
is the fact that respectable men such
as those composing the Citizens tick
ct should have the hardihOod to come
Independently of the democratic par
ty and seek the welfare of the COM
munity in spite of that corrupt or
ganization. Gas a force within the
democratic party" the Democrat con-
siders that the Citizens Conservative
Association "served an excellent pur-
poses" but now. that, finding all the
promises of the democracy to secure
the reform of abuses and the sup
preston of oppressive monopolies,
delusions and snares, this Associa.
ton seeks to accomplish these OBJ
ject by other means and with other
help. The representative citizens of
New Orleans composing that asso-
citation, their course in so doing is de-
nOunced as "perilous and extraordi-
nary" The Democrat sadly and in
dignantly complains that large and
formidable DIVERSION of the demo-
cratic forces "has raised new ban
ner, marched off with beating drums
and words of defiance, and now
threatens to unite with the enemy;
land that Radicals, Citizens, Native
Americans, Whites snd negroes, Red
Warriors wherever they may be)
WOrkingmen and Property Holders
all unite in a crusade against the
Democracy"-a most significant and
important admission. For, all these
classes, many of whom have former
ly worked with the Democratic par
ty and some of whom have formerly
been arrayed against each other, can
have no other pinciple in COM
mon than the intention in the int
rest of retrenchment and reform to
secure the overthrow of that same
Democratic party. Its blunders, its
corruption, its utter ineficiency for
good has disguised all it's most hon
est and intelligent adherepts, and
driven them to the ranks of the en-
envy. Well then may the Banshee
wall of coming defeat sigh through
the columns of its devoted but dis
perited advocate.

GOVERNOR HAHN AND THE AMEND
MENTp.

We publish in another column
copied from the st. Charles Herald
the views communicated to that
paper by Governor Hahn on the pro-
posed constitutional amendments.
In this connection also we take
occasion to correct an error of the
Democrat as to Mr.. Hahn's support
of these amendments in the Legisla-
ture last winter. While it is true
that the Republican members gem
orally united with the wing of the
Democracy which favored passing
amendments to the Constitution, in
stead Of calling a constitutional CON
vention, the representative from st.
Charles did mot join with his party
in the movement per sc. Many Of
the proposed articles were agreed to

hon. MR. eIpsOT,s pEMocRAcY

Great is Democracy Itcovers it's
disciples WITH dispensation and in
diligence as with blanket. 1t is
death-in some parishes-to doubt
its orthodoxy, and it is sufficient that
the most abject political leper should
touch the hem of its ample garment
to rise purified from every political
inferiOrity and proof against any po-
litical cOntagion. Mr.. Gibson "first
supported the banner of Democracy
in 1874. The party did not 60 by
that name. 1t had supported the
Republican party as liberal move
ment. 1t had formed the fusion
and reform party under Mr..
McEnery. 1t had assumed the title
of Democratic conservative under
Governor Nichols, but it had never
succeeded in gobbling up all it's as
sociates and raising the name of De-
mocracy as the sole head of the con-
Germ until much more recent period.
Indeed the conservative member
of the concern is now sueiDg for a
dissolution of the articles which bind
it to its dictatorial and rapacious as
sociate, and demanding an account
of put in capital and accruing profits.
By virtue, however, of his Democ-
racy, strengthened by a subsequent
appeal to the shade of "the immortal
hero Of Chalmette," Mr.. Gibson
stands impregnable to any impeach-
ment of inconsistency to which he
proves himself liable on every propo-
sition Ofhis discourse. We will sub
sequently show; That he departs
from the doctrines of the Democratic
fathers; that he denounced the ma
tiOnal party for the precise doctrine
which they profess in common with
part of the Democratic party, and
that he takes possession of and mon
opOlizes the Republican platform
without recognizing the occupation
thereof by the Republicans at all.
Mr.. Gibson's advocacy of the pro-
tective principle is shown by his
open advocacy of the duty on sugar
and rice, with his faithful opposition
to the doctrines Of free trade as pro-
posed in the repeal of those duties in
respect to the products of Hawaiian
Islands. He even intimates that the
Republican tariff on sugars " does
not sufficiently protect our industry.
So this Democratic candidate is a
prOtectiOnist. Can any one recon-
cile this doctrine with that of Cal
houn, McDu1fe, Hunter, Nathaniel
Macon.
In regard to internal improvement
we have the following:
We have not yet secured Southern
