Headquarters Regular Republican Party
of Louisiana, No. IG Dryades street
New Orleans, Juue 29, 1872.
A convention of the regular Re
publican party has adjourned to
meet on the ninth of August next
in tho Mechanic's Iustitue, in the
city of New Orleans. By n resolu
tion of this convention, the basis of
representation in the same has beon
doubled, and an election has been
ord< red.|gr«,,8.» nmlw.
of de'egatps to the same, equal in
number to the whole delegation al
ready 'elected. The object in this is
to afford an opportunity to'ail the
people of -this Stute who approve ol
the principles herein set forth to
take part ia the deliberations of the
convention, and in the nomination
of oapable, honest and representa
tive men, who have their homes and
interests in Louisiana, upon a ticket
and platform of principles whiçh
"shall secure'the support of all the
good people of this State.
In the present confused and tran
sition state of political parties we
recognize three universal and pow
erful sentiments, which run through
the hearts of a large majority of the
people of this State, withont dis
tinction of party. These are:
First—A desire for an honest,
economical aud stable government,
administered by representative men
of character and capacity,'" who ehall
be chosen without distinction from
any official ring.
Second—A conviction that the
i nterests of all the people ol t'uL
State are identical, and a desire lor
growth of new political relations,
wluch shall obliterate past class aud
sectional animosities, and cultivate
that mutual conciliation .and good
will which is esseutial to our com
mon prosperity, aud to, the perman
ent success oi' any political party;
i nd ... ...... w s , « . s 4 .
Third—A growing recognition o
the good policy and necessity of a
closer alliance betsyeeu, the vo|ers
of th? JSepubUc?»n -i>wty ?uid tiut
portion of the native population of
the State-tvhich; has hitherto ab
stained from ..political affairs ou ac
count; of differences treated by the
late civil war. With such a «party,
based upon such liberal and béné
ficient principles, we btlievo that
the rights of .the colored poople
would be safer aud better protected,
the liberty of opinion nud the po
litical iuterests of the ex-Union sol
dier, the Northern. settler, aud the
old Union citizen, more cordially
and completely secured 3ud the in
telligence and property of the State,
and the. rights of the native Confed
erate Southerner be better repre
sented than is possible under any
other practical combination.
_Iu these preiaiaus, we say to the
Republicans of the State that in the
Organization and upon the basis
presented by us, is their sole hope
for electing apy Republican officers
tfeeir
.,,,.. Tu» Success of the Custom -
3 state ticket nominated at Ba -
touge is hopeless , and if the
fortunes of thé Republican par -
ty ore attached to it ,. its defeat is
certain .
To demonstrate this , we call their
attention to the history . of the
Packard - Customhouse convention at
Baton Rouge , which has assumed
to present candidates to the people
of this State in the name of tne Rc
iblican party.
Messrs . Packard , Casey, Herwig ,
Stockdalë & Co. set out to control
the Republican convention called
for Au£9&&.9, 1.671, in».% iftterest
of their. Customhouse ring , with a
fP Stato'
government at this election for thern
selvcs and .their associates. To do

To

m
delegate.?, thev filled the building
with special deputy United States
marshals armed for the occasion.
To complete these eAraordinarj
preparations for a political conven
tion and to emphasize the inaugu
ration of this new style of coi
sulting the wishes of the pcô}>l< ,
they obtained the necessary orde;
from the military authorities und
fortified the clossd Customhouse
with Gatlin guns aud garrisoned it
with United-States st^diers under
arms. One hundrejl and ten dele
gates to tha convention^ being a
majority, disgusted and indignant
at these tyrannical proceedings,
turned away from the' Customhouse
and essoin bled in Turner Hall. The
State Central Committee appointed
by that convention has by its au
thority convoked the present one.
On the niueteenth of Juue Mr.
Packnrd and his partisans called i;
convention at Baton Rouge to nom
inate candidates for the State offi
ces. The Customhouse cabal could
not keep good fslith even with theit
own confederates. In order to se
cure the nomination of the favorite
of their own ring, aud obey instruc
tions from a "higher authority,'"
they expelled from their convention
all representative and independent
men, and seated- strangers, intru
ders, carpet-buggers and proxies oi
their own création, until their con
vention consisted of Custom oüa<
officials, internal revenue tax collec
tors and- postmasters.
Customhouse employes, «vhowen
elected as delegates to the Batoi
Bouge convention were cpeith
threatened with dismissal from offi
ce by United States Marshal Pack
ard if they .failed to vote as, ha dic
tated. The lists of delegates eîecle/
•is furnished to tho State Ceetrfd
Committee by the parish and ward
clubs were suppressed by Mr.
Packard for four weeks previous to
the meeting of the convention, aud
the names of delegates were not
allowed to be made known to
.members of the com rùittee. Lists
of delegates pledged to thé" ring
candidates weva manufactured in
the United States marshes {office
and foisted ijpon flie convention
as thè ré^ularly elected delegates.
Lobby tickets were issued^ so that
all access even to the lobby* was
denied to any but the partisans of
Mr. 1'ackaid, Mr. Casey refused,
iu the presence of several well
known gentlemen, to assure his
Customhouse employes that their
places should not be imperiled if they
voted independently of Mr. Pack
ard's dictation. Mr.'Packard ami
his instruments, when they dis
covered that a majority of the
convention favored union with the
regular Republicans, substituted a
fraudulent resolutions in place of
the one really offered, by which such
insulting conditions were imposed
that union was made impossible.
They refused all honorable offers oi
union with the regular Republic s
for the sole reason that such com
promise would intefere with the
Customhouse state for nominations.
The President and secretary of the
convention were opnvicted in open
session of fraudulently altering
their own rolls. Credentials were
withheld from legally elected dele
gates unless they would pledge
themselves to vote as Mr. Packard
ordered them. Finally, by a series
of fraudulent, corrupt and tyranni
cal measures, they rammed the
choice of a small Customhouse ring
down the throats of the convention
in the place of able ane wellknown
Republicans, who were really their
choice, dromaway over one-half of
their own members, and cut them
selves off from the whole body of
regular Republicans, so thai success
under their lead, and with their
ticket, is impossibly.
This convention , so constituted ,
in obedience tft tho , will of its mas -
ter, James F. Casey , and his chief
tool , S. B. Psckara , nominated an
ex-Unitëd States ' boflectôr of cus -
toms and a Jabnscn Decnocrat and
a resident of lUkiois 4or Governor,.

Customhouse men and Democrats
to overthrow the Republican State
government We ,therefore say in
all Honest >y and candor to, the whole
bbdär öf Repubhcan onü colored
voters in Louisiana , withont regard
to past difièrenoë ^ that the only
hopèfor the permanent preservation
of their rights and the continued
saoee ^ s . of Republican principles
resta m the thorough reform , the
broader reorganization of the ps.rt^
and the more cordial relations wit:
the native people of the state, to bt
attained under the leadership of thi:>
organization upon the basis above
set forth.
To the ex-Uuion soldier and the
native Union Southerner we say
that to preserve their interests from
the disastrous defeat which awaits
the Customhouse clique, and also
from the inimical reaction threat
sued by tho restoration of old
Democratic organizations and prej
udices, and to do their part itrwip
ing out past animosities '«nd further
ing closer and morefriendiy alliance
with the old people of the State, as
well as to keep faitl) and discharge
fheir obligations to the colored
people who have stood so firmly
md faithfully by them, we have
opened the only safe and honest
road for them and us to follow.
To that large portion of that
Southern people who have not
hither acted with the Republican
party, but who have earnestly de
sired a reorganization of political
jariies, to secure an honest, stable
•economical government, and who
ire willing to extend an earnest, full
-.nd cordial -rdcognition Of the
aewly acquired 1 rights of the col
ored men, and also to accord them
j qual chances of advancement, man
or man, according to their chanc
er ability intelligence, we say,
.*1 anldv and boldly, that a new era
las arrived, which, if approached
vvith tho same candor and liberality
>11 their side'as on ours, will remove
die clouds that have lowered over
U3 since reconstruction, conciliate
ill classes of our people, and restore
our State to its ancient posterity,
liguity and independence.
We, therefore, for the best inter
ista of Louisiana, and all her peo
ple, with an honest desire to save
.he just rights of all classes—to iu
lugurate an era of good fellowship
between her citizens, and to restore
no our State "a government of" the
people, for tho people," aud by the
people," invite all who a^rco with
alio principles and sentiments above
!jet forth to join in electing adition

in authoritative form, and in select

A notuer P rop G one .— The Mad
inon Journal has quit the corrupt
company it had been keeping. Iu
tho article announcing his abandon
ment of the crowers, ho says that
"Kellogg has boen made the victim
of a political influence, tho most
baleful that ever cursed a State, or
afflicted a people." Of Packard, it
says; "It seems that; Mr. Packard
-ind his ring" are impressed with
1 lie idea lUat thoy are the State,-and
that they intend to rtfle it regard
less of the wishes and the interest
of the people. No man can receive
a nomination or hold office but by
the gracious sufferance of the gen
tleman from Maine and his colleagues
from Massachusetts, Vermont and
tho devil only knows where; To be
sure they did place on their ticket
a fair representation in number of
the colored citizens in-this State,
but were they selected because the#
.were the truef epresentalives of their
race, or- bccauéê they could be ma
nipulated iu the interests of the Cus
tomhouse ? We don't know, but
judgiug from tho other selections,
aside from that of Governor, we are
compelled to the belief that the lat
ter was the cause."
tfég* Williamsport, Pa., has a huge
"strike" 011 its hands. The Labor
ers in the lumber mills wanted a
day's work reduced from fourteen
and twelve hours, to tuo legal time
of ten hours. The mill-owners re
sisted the claim and a "strike" has
been the "consequence. The owners
resolved to çiarve the laborers into*
submission, and some of the labor
ers, driven by their necessities, ac
tually returned to their work on the
old time. Numbers of others, ex
asperated by , the sufferings they
were enduring and the dangers of
being defeated by their comrades,
made fatal attacks on some of them
und threaten tho lives awl proper
ty of those they deem their opres
sors. So great is the popular dan
ger that Governor Geary has issued
a proclamation calling tho military
to readiness to support the civil
authorities in p-^co, and protecting
life and property.
j@"The following extract from
our level-headod contemporary of
the Galveston Standard evinces a
spirit of fairness and impartiality in
referring to oltr State affairs so rare
ia these times as.- to command our
consideration:
"It is not true that either Lieut.
Governor Pinchback or Senator
Campbell made Greeley speeches in
St James parish at the Republican
meeting that day. "What was said
by both of these gentlemen was,
that while they were disposed to
look upon the Greeley movement
wich some favor, yet the conduct of
the Democracy of their State if not
mended as it affected themselves,
would compel them to make com

Just as the tbsrsidmet^ has ta
ken on the hû)fè& marking heat in
tho region of the nineties, newspa
per philosophers are resuming their
old subject of consistency. The
Pioneer refers to stotementsof opin
ion made five years silice by the
Telegraph, and shows how 1 different
they are from what the T^eiffraph
puts forth to-day. Conèé^ucntly
the 1 élf graph man is Shockingly in
consistent, ergo a viliian and a horse
theif, No doubt the necessities of
politics have brought out some of
this parallel-cclumn business. But
it is invidious criticism, and weak
aud bad journalism. As a rule, the
man who searches old files of * a
neighbor's newspaper to find some
thing to "pin" his fellow-being on,
docs so because he cannot ' find
adequate arguments against that
neighbor's opinions. He has to put
the neighbor a gainst'his former
self because he feels too"' weak to
say a good orignal thing against
him.
