The Origin. of Republicanism' !.

8HsG-,--
The Origin, of Republication
The Republican partyis tile issue
Of the Wig party, which was the
issue ofsthe Federaljparty, and the,
fathers Of the Federal party, Alex.
ander Hamilton and oN-J0lfn
Adams, were mOnarchiSts and OPP
posed -to-~our Constitutional and
representative system of govern
nient, and Hamilton said distinctly
to Mr.. jefferson, that the people
could not be governed except by
corruption Tkis has been an Ge-
cepted theory Of government since
before the time of Walpole; and
these theories, though they were
frowned down by the grand old
Wing party, have naturally beer
revived in all their vigor and yiru,
lence in the Republican party, and
they have been applied to the cor,
ruptiOn Of as many Southern States
as have interests that rendered them
purchasabie by favors from the
Federal governmental ailyStates.
The time was when the name Of
Republication rather Radical
was not only q word to frighten
children with, but was a menace to
the staIwart manhood Of the South,
which took more than mere whist,
ling to rouse courage to withstand.
That time is happily past. Those
dark days, may God grant it, are
forever over. The new pose Of
Republicanism in Louisiana affects
great conservation and as a party
strives to attain responsibility.
And it must be admitted that the
detection of some, sugar planters
and others from Democracy, has
had tendency to produce that cf.
feet. But no matter how respecta'
bic that party may become, it, does
not decrease its danger to the PEG
pie, A party that has had its rise
in monarchical principles, and has
pursued course Of unyielGing and
shameless sway over a brave and
conquered people, and at present il
bearing along in full current tbe un
American principles of trusts, i'm
perialism and militarism, must ~!
tain something more than 'especta
bility in Louisiana to carry every
thing before it. Every tiloughtft
Democrat is as fully persuaded nov
as in 1874, that the Republican
I party has nothing in it of good, bu
much of evil, for the South and 70
louisiana. But there a1e others
less thoughtful, who may be deceived
either by specious promises mad
them Or through petty, disconten
with their own party. All sic
should be warned in time, for RI
publicanism is appearing in ne'
guise bnt with tue, old principle
and the old dangers. oh
