, CAN THE REPUBLICANS DISBAND ?
From the A. F. Tribune.
Whenever the leading propositions which a
treat party was formed to alii rm and establish
shall have been definitely accepted by the great
body of the people, that party may be safely
disbanded. Nay, it can hardly escape disinte
gration and dissolution by the impact of living
ideas againstits honeycombed, decaying organi
zation. The Republican party, we hear, is undergoing
dissolution. Sundry ambitions coteries of poli
ticians stand ready to certify its decease and
proceed to administer on its estate. Certain of
its lifelong enemies are willing to admit that it
h6 had abundant reason to exist has passed
triumphantly through trying ordeals, and has
achieved an honorable place in our country's
history provided it will thereby get Into its
doflin and ask the pall-bearers to move on.
Nay: if this point be conceded, they are willing
to be generous, and concede that Lincoln was
Dot an ape, Stanton a time-serving rulllan, and
Andy a windy demagogue. They might even
stretch a point, and admit that Thomas was a
soldier and no traitor, and that Grant got rather
the better of his adversaries at Donelson, Vlcks
burg, Mission Ridge, and Appomattox.
Can the country yet spare the Republican
party? In other words, are the great principles
for which it has struggled accepted as incontest
able by those who so stoutly resisted them?
Those principles all culminate in a broad affirma
tion that the political and civil rights of all born
on the soil or legally naturalized in the courts
of our country are of right equal before the
law, and have been placed under the protecting
shield of the Federal Constitution. If that is no
longer contested, then the Republican organiza
tion may properly be given up, and those who
have hitherto sustained it may severally be ab
sorbed into new parties, as questions of finance,
political economy, or practical administration
shall Impel them.
The Republicans organized in 1854, fought
their first national battle in 1850, and triumphed
in 1860, upon the broad ground of hostility to
any further diffusion of human slavery under
the flag of our Union. Thenceforward they
upheld, through a bloody, devastating struggle,
the integrity and paramount authority of that
Union, and in 1864 triumphed in affirming that
slavery, having assailed the national life, should
die. In 18G3 they appealed again to the people
on a platform affirming that the national debt
incurred in resisting aud overcoming the slave
holders' rebellion should be paid exactly as
both parties understood that it should be when
it was contracted, and that the States lately in
revolt should recognize and respect the equal
rights of their colored people, as affirmed by
the reconstruction acts of Congress.
But our adversaries, especially at the South,
assailed us throughout that canvass as partial
and inconsistent. "You impose negro suffrage
on the South," they urged, "while you leave the
North free to reject it." The criticism was just,
and we deferred to it by proposing and carrying
a fifteenth amendment to the Constitution,
which prescribes that
"1. The right of citizens of the United States'to
vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on acsount ol race, color, or
previous condition of servitude.
"S3. Congress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation."
This article having passed both houses of
Congress by an amplo vote, has been ratified
by the Legislatures of thirty-one States, not
counting New York, which first ratified, and
then (on the accession of the Democrats to
power) rescinded that ratification. New Jersey
rejected by a party vote, but has since (on the
accession of the Republicans to power) recon
sidered and iatifled it. Indiana ratified by a
clear majority of all the membors chosen (27 out
of 50 Senators, and 54 out of 100 Representa
tives), but the Democratic Minority mo out ot
the House, and thus (they say) destroyed the
quorum, which is two-thirds of a full House.
But the article is abundantly ratified without her
all the ton-ratify Id g States, even with her,
being California, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee
8; whereas the ratifying States, without count
ing Indiana or New York, number 31, or nearly
four-fifths of the whole, while only three
fourths are required.
This XVth Article is as much a part of the
Constitution as the 1st, and those who swear to
support the Constitution swear fidelity to every
part of It. The Democrats may disintegrate the
Republican party at any time by 6imple loyalty
to the Constitution and fidelity to their oath to
support it.
But this is exactly what they refuse to accord.
The controlling animus of that party is negro
hate and a stubborn resolve to subvert the fif
teenth article of the Federal Constitution. That
party is now an organized and formidable con
spiracy to nullify the article in question. It is
quite aware that there is no present ground of
hope or expectation that the article may be
rescinded: so it is banded to defy or treat said
article as a nullity. It means to carry nearly
every Southern State for President in 187:3 by
frightening the blacks away from the polls, or
compelling them to vote the ticket of the im
placable enemies of their manhood and their
political rights. Such is the paramount desire,
such the animating purpose, of the Democratic
party to-day.
But ho? uoes it expect to win a victory?
'Largely, by means of deliberate, systematic,
wholesale suppression of the truta. Wherever
the Ku-klux organization and outrages are un
popular or likely to in ; ite odium, there their
very existence is scouted as a Republican fabri
cation. Witness the followine relative to North
Carolina from yesterday's World:
"Officers of the army serving there, the United
States Judge, oue of tlie two Republican members
of Congress, a Republican State Supreme Court
Justloc, aud others on 'he spot and sole to juige
dispassionately, gy till is quiet; and v)t to the cou
trary, fora'xitb, we must believe partisan Senators
of the lowest type and such a huddle of criminals
lying themselves free as Ilollen, Kirk, and corn
pany. Of course, all U blood, wounds,
broken hones, and gore, with these fellows; but,
outside or thtlr Titus Oates affidavits, the evidence
shows, as far as it shews anything, that the State is,
and has for months past been, quiet, aud that the
secret of the trouble is Holden's desire to escape
impeachment and the yearning of certain lobby
members to continue their financial control."
These assertions are made in the face of the
reluctaut testimony of scores of white Demo
crats and ex-Rebels like James E. Boyd, Ell S.
Euliss, and John W. Long (given In our last),
that they were members of "the Wuite Brother
hood," otherwise Jvu-klux Klan that this was a
secret society, recognizing each other by signs
that they were sworn to stand by and protect
each other under all circumstances -"It was
part of the oath," testifies Boyd, "that
no member should give Suite's evidence
against auother, and that he should
even swear falsely;" that it was the object of
the Order "to preserve the Constitution as it
was before the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments were added" says Long, "the oath re
quired me to do all I could to overturn the
Republican party; part of the obliga
tion was to deprive negroes of all right under
the laws; the main object was to prevent negroes
from voting, by aroint arnnnrl ritflfiifrteri anrl
frightening them so that they would not go to
the polls.' And they b wned a school-house
wherein blacks were educated, and whipped,
hung and drowned, whenever tbey supposed
such crimes neccesary to the achievement of
Ihelr purpose.
It was understood amone them that the Klan
bad 40.000 members in North Carolina tuat
General Forrest had introduced it Into that
State and that members should protect each
other by swearing falsely as ltuees and div
ine: false verdicts as Jurors.
Thebe facta are substantiated by the testimony
01 those whom they implicated, aud who hid
every Incentive to conceal' or soften tlicoi
wherever tuey could. And yet certain military
fl9fl ViliUVUoftiyft! Vs,ify VfU kuew
nothing of the Ku-klux or their outrages; and I
their testimony Is cited by the World as con
clusive. By such logic it were easy to prove
that Napoleon I never lived and that Munchau
sen sever lied, just as it was proved that no
Mlssonrlans ever voted in Kansas. But no one
is misled by such testimony, save those who are
cot allowed to see any other.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACE-MAKERS.
From the R. T. World.
Nassau not of the Rhine but of the Bahamas
has this winter been prolific in the literature
of "letters." Hence issued our friend Doctor
Vinton's prayerful epistle. Alas ! is it not sad
that the prayers of the righteous avail so little,
for does not the heathen Sumner continue to
rage ? And now an extinct diplomatic volcano
In the same region has burst into action, and
shot two columns of flames and ashes as far as
.New York; In plain prose, our esteemed
fellow-citizen General James Watson Webb has
written us a tremendous letter, mina
tory and explanatory. It seems that last
January there appeared In these columns a
communication signed 'A Veteran" which has
given offense to General Webb, and from which
he now vindicates himself. But on the thres
hold he peremptorily, though with due cour
tesy, demands the name of our correspondent.
Now on this, from considerations of mere
humanity, we pause, or at least defer a posi
tive answer, till, as we trust, restored to health
and habitual equanimity, the General returns
home. "Veteran" is, we may concede, a mili
tary man of the naval branch. Our absent
townsman wears laurels too. There are ashes,
too, which never entirely cool. Wonted fires
live in many an aged bosom. The risk of pre
cipitating a septuagenarian duel we cannot
bring ourselves to encounter.
It may be said that the barbarism of "personal
responsibility" Is at an eud, and is superseded
by the Congressional system of exchanging
vulgar epithets with impunity, as illustrated by
Butler and Blaine. It was, indeed, matter of
surprise to us the other day to see it stated that
Serjator Patterson, of New Hampshire, kept his
place on a committee by saying "he would hold
any one responsible who assailed him; but
Senator Sumner countenances the pacific policy,
and Butler blackguards men as safely as be once
bullied women. But our "Veterans" are of the
old-fashioned pugnacious kind, and mischief
might come of it. Hence, in the interests of
humanity, we pause.
As to General Webb's vindication, we must
leave our readers to judge ot it tor themselves
The history of the "Alice Grey," with the Sun
day morning pursuit "alter prayers," who. the
French admiral and his band playing "Yankee
jjooaie as the snips went out. ana "he, in nail
uniform." "See the Conquering Hero Comes" as
they returned, is in the General s best style
And yet, somehow, the names of the Wachusett
and Captain Napoleon Bonaparte Collins and
Brazil dimly bring back to us some dismal and
discreditable Incident of eur civil war which
one would think General Webb, would
rather have forgotten. Did not this
same Wachusett and this same Captain ECol-
hub, m :ur. euo s instance, steal the Florida
at Bahia from the waters of a friendly
power r auu was not our government, even in
the agony of intestine war, obliged to go down
on its knees to the slave-owning empire of Bra
zil and beg pardon for what was done ? And
did not Mr. Seward promise to send back the
"Pirate?" And did not Admiral Porter, then in
command at Hampton Roads, anchor the nrlze
conveniently in the main channel at Newport
news, ana men nave ner buck dv a nuge trans
port? Can General Webb tell us how that hao
pened to be advised in time? These, we say, are
the painful memories which this new contro
versy revives; and we refer to them timidly, in
the sincere hope that nothing we have said may
tempt either of the parties to renew or nrolontr
it. At any rate, before permitting a septuagena
rian norse-pistoi single comDat to become immi
nent, we must have permission to draw one
meditative inhalation, and to consider the
blessedness of the state of peace-makers.
THE "REDS'" OF PARIS.
From the N. T. Time.
One of the terrors which lie back of the
present revolution in Paris, both to France and
jLurope, is me iear mat it is a socialistic out
break, a stroke at property itself. Through all
Central Europe and Great Britaint.here is
steadily growing an organization of laoor. Be
neath opposing forms of government, under
different languages and varying religious beliefs,
a republic or fraternity of the laboring classes is
gradually but steadily forming itself. They as
sert that lor ages capital has bad all the advan
tage in the production of wealth, while the
hands which did all the work were left almost
empty of everything, sometimes even of the
necessities of life. They recall how, in the
past, labor has been despised and wronged by
capital, what exaction and spoliations it has
submitted to, how little, though producing all
the wealth of the world, it has shared in the
comforts and prizes of life.
This ancient system of oppression, as the
laboring classes of Europe consider it, they are
resolved they will no longer submit to, but will
so organize throughout the whole civilized world
as to secure their just rights from capital. Under
the new political movement, set in motion by
the success of democracy in this country, the
working classes throughout France, Germany,
and partly in Great Britain, are securing for
themselves a share in the government of
these different couutries. But beneath the
various Governments, they have through their
trades unions a wider and more nearly
universal republic. The different societies
of laborers and craftsmen in all civilized
countries are more and more uniting them
selves, so that the daring spirits look forward to
the time when a decree of the Central Union,
whether in Paris or London, will reach to every
laborer in that tyaft from Archangel to San
Francisco. Then a strike for higher wages iu a
given trade will mean that the laborers iu that
trade, whether in California, or Germany, or
Italy, or England, will support their brethren in
their struggle, and capital will no longer retreat
to its present resource of importing fresh labor
from distant countries. Then labor cam take
the lion's share in the profits of production, and
capital take a lower position, and the work
ing classes at length get their fair portion of
the goods of this world. Some such future is
now struggled for by the most far-sighted
leaders of the laboring classes in all couutries.
A portion of these objects will undoubtedly be
realized in coming years, and one of the best
results of them will be the reduction of the
enormous individual fortunes, becomlug such a
curse to modern civilization, and a more equal
distribution of wealth.
But among these legitimate aims of labor
there are mingled iu all countries wild and im
practicable dreams, projects of overturning the
existing order of society, redlviding Its pro
perty, and giving to the workers au equal
chance with the rich for its comforts, luxuries,
and privileges. The fevered brain from which
these wild dreams issue is Pads. There are
thousands of simple and honest men who
devoutly believe that "property Is robbery,"
and who will live with a devotion which no
other cause secures, and die with unshaken faith
on the scaffold or the barricade, suffering and
struggling for the ideas of equafTTy. iu
property, privilege, and labor. These men
led the revolution of 1818; years of failure, de
feat, oppression, and the success of their ene
mies have not iu the least shaken their folia.
Again, with the overthrow of the empire which
held down their effervescing passions, aud the
departure of those ltiui battalions whose bullet
seemed to let all the air out of their wlnJvseuti
mentalism, the "Redo" of Paris appear afresh at
home amid the overthrow of civil order, the de
struction of property, and the bloody street
combat of Frenchman with Frenchman. What
ever can coufuee and subvert the order of society
is their ailment Not having the kind of cour
age which could lead tbeui against UUcipliued
infantry or a well-defended battery, they delight
in the guerilla wariare or street with street, and
bouse with barricade. Tuey did nothing fr
their country wbeu the foreigner thundered at
iu gates. Their valor U kept for destroying
their fullow-titixeua. Even ibo duriotr iliav insv
how in street skiruiMies will not redeem their
previous cowardice in the o;eu field. The dre id
of au orlcauu-t Government, aui the Ik ease ot
peace, has given them an opportunity. But
i heli effort is hopeless. It is true, they have
a weak administration, a disorganized army,
and a suflling old man of eighty to deal with.
They may gain temporary advantage. But France
dreads and detests them. She would prefer Na
poleon, or even the Prussians, to a Socialistic
republic. Above all things, the peasant of
France believes In property. Civil war may.
indeed, ensue; the fires "Of revolt may spread
to Lyons and Marseilles ana other great cities;
but the defeat of the Paris insurgents and the
whole faction of the Red Republicans we look
upon as certain, and the only result to be feared
from It is the possible return of the Bonapartes.
