ing that the negroes are leaving
Louisiana and Mississippifor Kansas,
because they are mistreated in the
former States. Willthey tell US then,
why SO many of our people in Ohio
and States farther East, are leaving
for this same Kansas and the West?
Why are thousands Of our working
men from our mills, shops aud farms,

grating westward? Simply because
they cannot make living for them
selves and families here, and they
hope for better success in the cheap
productive lands of the West. The
depression in business, brought about
by the ruinous financial policy of
John Sherman, compels them to
search for other opportunities for
gaining a livelihood. The working
men of the North have thus been
"mistreatedn as well as the colored
men of the South. Portsmouth Times.

CONGRATULATIONS.

The Democracy Of New Orleans Is to be
congratulated upon the conduct OF the cleo
ton On Friday. The unusual interest and ex-
element eylnced iii the contest Is shown BY
the vote poiled, which is larger than that
cast at any previous primary election, and
yet so just and fair were the arrangements
that there was nowhere any just cause for COM
plant. Representatives OF both parties were
accorded equal privileges, and 1t was quite
impossible for any fraud to be committed.
Before the election the Parish Committee
made every concession demanded By the o.
den committee, and adopted every reasonable
change Of the rules suggested by them
There was throughout spirit OF fair play
that has rarely marked political campaign.
and the gentlemen who composed the Parish
Committee deserve the thanks Of the commu-
nifty for their efforts in the interest OF har-
mony In the party. The advocates and sup
porters or Gen. Ogden comprised number Of
wealthy gentlemen, and the representatives
OF wealthy corporations who not only sub
scribed literally to the fund but busted them
selves In soliciting subscriptions from mer-
chants, theteoy accommodating large fund
which was literally e2 pended. These gentle
men worked with an earnestness and zeal,
and with system AMI organization in every
ward which precluded any possibility o. T.

DEMOCRATS MUST BE LOYAL.

The threat of certain OF the friends Of Gen.
Ogden Of disregarding the obligations of party
fidelity and good faith, and reeorting to fac
tious methods III the event OF the nomination
Of Gov. Witt does not, we are satisfied, re-
ceive the approval and sanction Of that gen.
tleman. This threat is due to the disappoint
ment and annoyance which naturally follow
the consciousness of defeat. 1t Is the emana-
ton of the excitable and impulsive minds Of
new, young and inexperienced politicians. 1t
will pass off with calm reflection,
and the subsistence Of the enthusiasm
and antagonism Of recent conflict and con
troyersy. There need be no apprehension Of
any serious secession from the solid ranks Of
the Democracy when they are arrayed for the
battle In December against the solid line Of
Radicalism. Whether Ogden or Witt be the
standard bearer, the Democratic column must
move together shoulder to shoulder. Fortu-
nately In the choice OF either leader there are
no differences or conflicts Of opinions princi-
pies or policies; no issues on any political
measures between these two gentlemen. The
contest has been entirely personal one. One OF
predictions and preiudices; Of associations
and intimacles. Nor has there been any dis
cussion or serious dissent as to the equal per-
sonal Worthiness OF these two gentlemen. No
such heated contest was ever conducted

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The election Ia over, the smoke OF the con-
test is rolling away, and tho result shows
that our candidate will DO supported In the
convention bya large majority OF the dele
gates from New Orleans.
In this condition Of affairs, what Is the duty
of Gen. Ogden and of those delegates who
supported him In the recent contest We
would with great confidence leave this 1ues-
tion To be answered by that gentleman him
self
Gen. Ogden Ia q Democrat: he has been
honored by the votes Of large number Of
personal friends for the nomination for Gov
ernor.
However much he Ii esteemed In this city,
and bis honesty, intelligence, integrity and
manly qualities are appreciated BY the whole
community--yet for the civil office Of Gov
ernor, another gentleman is preferred by o
large majority Of his fellow-citizens Under
these circumstance, what ought Cen Ogden
TO do2
IF he goes before the convention for the
nomination, his most honorable contest will
have deRenerated into u faotions opposition.
II. without the exercise Of his own will in the
matter. he allows his committee to still press
bis claims at Baton Rouge with mo- hopes OF
success, the effect must necessarily be that
he will be viewed as malcontent, whose dis
appointed hopes urge him to q course Of con
duct tending to disruption Of the Demo
cratic purity Of this city, or to the election OF
candidate from the country.
we submit that 1t would be alike graceful
and honorable In Gen. Ogden to dispense with
the further services Of his friend Ellis and
others of his committee, and submitting to
the verdict Of the voters of New Orleans, to
retire from tho contest, and require his
friends to sustain Gov Witt In the conven-
ton.
Such conduct would be highly commenda-
Bile In Gen. Ogden, and would go far toward
alaying any bitterness Of political feeling
which may have been cngenderod during the
recent contest.
