Cromwell, who has addressed ns the fol lowing letter, while laboring under the delusion that he is a Republican: Editor Kki-ibucax: 1 notice a paragraph m to day 's issue of your paper headed, "They Are Not Repub licans." It commences l>y stating. "We have re ceived from a respectable physician of this city a communication, censuring in strong but just terms some of the pretended Re publicans who devote all their energies to the abuse of Governor Warmosh.'' You assure your friend the doctoi t hey are sore heads: that any man in the State who is op posed to Governor Warinoth is no Repuo lican. bnt either a Democrat or paid by Democrats. [Note.— This is not what we said. Our language was. that those who oppose the Governor are either Democrats, or subsi dized by tbe enemies of Republicanism.— Ed. Red.] Sir—I am a Republican, and opposed to Governor Wamioth: vea, when he was playing^ Breckinridge Democrat in 1SC0. I was doing my level best to elect Mr. Lin coln President. I am not a sorehead by reason of not getting an office from the Governor, nor do I get anv favors from tbe federal officers in the Customhouse, the men whom he opposes: neither am I paid by the Democrats, and yet I am opjwsed to the Governor, not because he appoints to office particularly, for I believe there are good and honest Democrats who make good citi zens. and when they are elected to an of fice, and take an oath to support the con stitution of the United States, and the con constitution of the State in which they live, they would do so. _ Governor Warmotb Las not done so. as the executive of the State. He imposed on her citizens by the election of men to the General Assembly who were not the choice of the people tliey represent. He has aje •ointed men who are uuknown and obnox ious to the people tliey are sent to. I onnose him, because he has ignored the old universal suffrage men. the found ers of the Republican party in tbe State, nainelv, W. R. Crane, Burchard. Waples, Rodriguez, Bousigneur. Durant and others. I suppose; for the reason he Las deceived tue and my race; he. as the ex ecutive of the State, should have seen that the public privilege articles of constitution were obeyed. If he had been as prompt in seeing tbem obeyed as he was in suspend ing Secretary Bovee, we would have peace with black and white, and the Republican party would lie a united partv in the State. DR. CIJOMWELL. DR. CIJOMWELL. New Orleans. October 15, 1871. If any evidence were necessary, as we consider there is not, to sustain ns in the conviction that those who are quarreling with Governor Warmoth are not Repub licans, the testimony of Dr. Cromwell furnishes the missing link. Re has sallied out as the orator of the class that we denied, and as the issue is now fairly joined, let the case proceed to trial. Dr. Cromwell is a man well known to the Republicans of this State, and his ante cedents are the facts upon which the judg ment as to his fidelity to Republicanism must be founded. In the first place, then, he is a confirmed bolter, never having abided by the decision of the party, but generally insisting on his own fitness for office by posting himself as an independent candidate in opposition to the regular nominees. TLis disposes of him as a Republican, for partisans are only known by their fidelity to the party. We have no doubt Dr. Crom well will resist this conclusion by entering the plea that a man may be a Republican without being a party man, to which we might assent if it did not involve the admission that all Democrats are Republicans because they believe in a republican form of govern ment. Names are either general or spe cific, and the ignorance of this difference is what bothers Dr. Cromwell and men of his sort. Republican, as applied gen erally, includes all men who favor repub lican institutions; specifically, it applies to a partisan who has allied himself with a certain political organization to effect a given result, without any regard to his own preferences as to the form of pro ceedure. Dr. Cromwell belongs to a class of men who are too narrow minded to be Republicans, because he can not consent to follow when he is denied the right to lead. Besides, it is doubtful if he under stands the true nature of re ublicanism, because if he did he would have avoided the reference which he makes to the posi tion which H. C. Warmoth occupied when he was eighteen years of age. The country has undergone a wonderful change since then, even General Grant having passed from his Democracy to be the chosen head of the Republican party. What a minor did twelve years ago was probably as fruitless of results as what Dr. Cromwell, who had no vote, did in favor of Mr. Lincoln. Besides, the Re publican party has forgiven the Governor, as it has forgiven General Grant, for it has elected both of them to its highest offices; and Dr. Cromwell should remem ber that it is not just the thing to rake up an offense after it has been forgiven and forgotten. There is law of decency in this respect. About the old universal suffrage men who have been ignored by the Governor, Durant lives out of the State, Waples holds an honorable position; Bonseigneur, Rodriguez and Burchard are not familiar to us, and W. R. Crane is too decidedly demented to be thought of. Then, again, the guilt of their retirement belongs more to the party than to the Governor, even admitting that they had claims, for the party ought to have nominated and elected them before now. So it seems that their disappearance out of politics is not to be charged against the Governor, but against the party which Dr. Cromwell says they founded, and to which he thinks he be longs. As to the enforcement of the civil rights bill, that is an old question which Mr. Lowell attempted to discuss with the Gov ernor in the State convention, wherein he got just such a setting down as all the st«pid3 who raise it ought tes get. It i 5 not the duty ot the Governor to execute Hie laws !n behalf of every citizen who is disappointed of his rights. There is a law that gives Cromwell the right to drink himself blind drunk at any bar in town, as there is a law that gives him the right l! to vote. If he does not enforce Lis own right to drink, as he does his right to vote, is the Governor to sally out and lead him to the whisky mill and see him fiilc-d? Let Mr. Cromwell pursue his rights like a man, and not cry for help like a slave. The negroes have all the rights in this State that other men have, and this is all that the Republican party premised to af ford them. They are committing, in many i q s t a ns qg, thft. rary yerong which they, charge against the Governor, in this, that they are deserting and denouncing the very men who stood by them when it was evil times for them, and when to be tbeir friend was not the safest position to oc cupy in New Orleans. Dr. Cromwell thinks he is a Republican .because he calls himself one, and because he is in favor of his own rights. There is another rule to be adopted in determining such matters. Republicans accept tbe decision of the party as the rule of their government. They believe all men to be honest until they are proved to be dis honest They uphold their officers in all good things, and do not find fault where there is none. They do not hold one man responsible for the faults of others, as Cromwell holds the Governor responsible for the omission of the Republican party to reward the founders of the organiza tion. They do not depend for their rights upon officials, but they assert them for themselves. And, in general, they stand faster than Dr. Cromwell, and are more sensible. A SENSIBLE MOVEMENT. It is pleasant to perceive that members of the Democratic party are gradually coming to the conclusion the organization is no longer useful. It would have been much better, however, had they unani mously arrived at that conclusion when the rebellion for slavery and secession was crushed. In that case much of the po litical bitterness that has been engendered in the Southern States since the war might have been avoided and the people encouraged to return more generally and speedily to peaceful pursuits. The pub lic mind would have become settled at once, and, instead of standing aloof in a cynical mood, the Southern people, had they at once cheerfully accepte 1 the re sults of tbe war, might have speedily re sumed all of the rights of American citizen ship. so foolishly thrown away in an attempt to destroy the integrity of the United States and become citizens of a foreign government. It was a fatal mistake to suppose the people of the United States could be led by the Democratic party to relinquish any of the great principles it was claimed had been determined by the war. There had been too many valuable lives lost and too much of the nation's treasure squandered to suppr .se the peo ple could be induced to join in with a political party that openly proclaimed its object to be a renewal of the fight at the ballot box that bad been determined finally by an appeal to arms. Yet the itself into measures should Ion if inclined power by ,nd prin eip! since Lav. to respect of a majority of the people country. The continued or the party, in full sympar terest of' peop le.

The restoration of our State and tLe nation to their former high position can not now lie effected by the Democratic party. I am one of those who still believe that the constitution of the United S* ires, wi-h ail of its amendments distinctly recognized, when fairly and honestly enforced, is ade quate to all the wants of this great country, and will live to bless millions yet unborn, of every race. We must, in my opinion, and that prompt ly, have a new organization, which shad ileal only with the live issues o: the day and will inspire our people with new hopes and animate them to new exertions, which can and will rescue us in the early future from the ills of had government. Very respectfully. JOHN II. KENNARD. GOVERNOR VARK0TH AND THE LEVEE COMPANY. Y- c assured tie managers c-f the Levee Company, a week or two ago, that if they expected to get any money cut of the State they must first earn it. Heretofore, the stockholders have been contented with merely peddling out their stock on Carondelct street. They formed them selves the sharers in a franchise which they were perfectly willing to speculate upon. Any thing like hard work, cr ad vancing funds, was not in contemplation. They have been fooling away their time all summer, and not a spade full of dirt has been disturbed—not a dollar of ex pense incurred in any practical work. Recently, a survey was made for the pur pose of obtaining an estimate of cost, to back up a demand for pay in advance. 15'hen the. Governor assured them .they could not have a cent until they went to work, invitations were issued for propos als to build the levees. On Saturday, when these proposals were opened, they were, as we learn, all rejected. This led to the communications of Gov ernor AVarmoth and the Board of State Engineers and Levee Commissioners, which we publish in another column. The attention of the reader is called to these papei'3. "While they call on the police juries and planters to prepare to save themselves, yet neither is a procla mation dt daring the Levee Company to be extinct, but simply a charge that they do not respond promptly to the neces sities of the occasion. It is rumored that those mythical men of the East who professed to have millions at their finger ends. Lave, refused to sup ply the sinews of war, and as the great Mississippi river wiil wait tor no man or set of men, the Governor has very wisely directed the police juries to secure their parishes. Other capitalists may come for ward and buy this Levee Company out and furnish the means to carry on the contract with the State. If so. they must redeem or pay for the levees built; if not, the State will be saved anvhow. DECIDEDLY AN ATTEE-TS0UGET. After the reports had become current that the levee company Lad rejected all the bids offered for building the levees, and the State authorities had taken decided action in consequence, a new idea seems to have struck the directors. A meeting was held last evening, and awards were made for about twenty of the contracts. It is suppo sed the object is to stiffen the stock, which was depressed to two dollars yesterday. But it is very doubtful whether tbe bidders will cow come forward and sign the contracts. The contractors are required to give security for the per formance c f their work, but what security can the levee company give that the work will be paid for? No careful man will in cur a dollar's txpense on the simple promise oi the company. It is apparent ly without money, and certainly without the disposition to spend it. A negotiation has been talked of all summer, by which two men of reputed means were to stake the concern. But. beyond victimizing a number of cent-per-cent Caron Jelet street suckers, no effect has been perceived. And tbe meeting last night, and the awards made upon the bids, should be re garded with caution. The stock will not be worth im:re to-day than it was yester day. whm i; could be bought for *2 pier share of &H0. I: Lav sell for more. Low •ver. SE0ET SC'IICE. Tne Levee Company gave only seven days notice for receiving bids to lmid several LnndreJ miles of levee. ILis was very short notice to the capitalists of New Orleans, while to those of New York, Bos ton. Philadelphia and other Northern cities it was decidedly after the fair. Europe Las not heard of it yet, unless ly cal. le. There appears to be a want of sin eerily in the proceeding. A strike cf unexampled tenacity has just ended in England in the success of site- strikers. It was peculiar in tLis, that the men were engineers, and that they refused to abate their demand, which wa6 for time and not money. They acted a reduction of s;x hours in the week, or rather they required that a day's work should Le limited to nine instead of ten hour®. Tue fight was savagely begun end sternly maintained. Tvn thousand men quit wc tk in a single day and never lifted a hand for twenty weeks. They Lad prepared for the contest by aeeurnu lading a capital that belonged to all the members. They obtained assistance from the other unions. The International, a va-:t political machine, adopted their cause and helped them out. Being engi neers, their places could not be supplied except by engineers, and as there were none but such as were strikers, all the vast machinery whi :h had moved at their direction bad to stand still. The masters held out, but were finally forced to yield. They offered to pay increased wagts, but the men said they wanted time and not money. The odd hour they wanted for Lome and improvement, and they have got it. Let us Lope that they will im l rove it. The New Orleans Titr.es sticks to it that John K Keyset, one of the Mew York contractors under Tweed, has surrendered Lis property to the city as an atonement for his evil ways in getting more money cut of the treasury than he was entitled to. Mr. Keyset sticks to it that he net only has not done this tiling, but that he is holding on to all he has got, and still wants three hundred thousand dollars more. Lie says that his accounts were altered after they were paid, and that Tweed did the altering and the stealing. One of Lis bills for forty-seven thousand dollars was raised to four hundred and forty-seven thousand, ani paid at this sum, Tweed indorsing the account as correct. Keyser got the small sum and Tweed the big one. And these are the men that proposed to rule the United States, and the Times is the paper that pretends to give correct information. Kevser den t see it. Even royalty responds to humanity. The Emp ress Augusta, of Prussia, sends a thousand thalers to Chicago. And yet Prussia is still in weeds over her own vast graveyards, and is filled with anguish at her hospitals filled with the wounded just home from the field of battle. The Kentucky Democracy proposes to disband until after the next election and form a new party. Perhaps they had better reform a little, which is the way the Democracy in Washington City pro pose to win. "Unless a man be born again Le can not" be accepted by the people of the United States. All their reform movements and new party at tempts are mere "old clothes" games that are fully understood by those who have bought cheap coats. We can al ways find the Democracy when we sne ceed in our search after their old leaders. Disguise does not deceive os. Let the devil tuck his tail as close as he pleases investigation will unfold it The Demo crats need regeneration, and nothing short of that will help them. ON CAJtONDELET STREET. By a large number of stockholders of Levee, it was believed that tL« stock of a company whose revenue could be made three millions a year was too good a thing to let go. Yesterday morning shares were sold at $5 and 25, a slight decline from the quotations of Saturday. But suddenly a throng of brokers gathered around a cen tral figure who was shaking the paper ex citedly in his Land and offering it for sale at $2 50. Then a scene of wild commotion fol lowed. and offers poured in on all sides. Cries of "What's the matter!" "What's turned up!' "Who's buying?" "Who's bearing rose up on all sides, while brokers rushed like mad either up or down the street, looking for principals and going for information. The first throng became two, three and even four separate groups, all hallooing, cheer ing and chattering like magpies. Then it transpired that thecause of this excitement was the forthcoming proclamation of the Governor (it turned out to be a letter), call ing on the planters to build their own levees, and ignoring the company altogether. Notwithstanding the pet was boiling, few shares were disposed of for several hours, and the big mass of outsiders stood still and looked on without taking a hand. At length the evening paper brought the news, which was eagerly read and soon acted upon. It was also reported that Mr. Williams, president of the Board of Directors, had left and gone to Wilmington before his departure was generally known. In short, there was a universal back down, and several thousand shares were sold, as follows: One hundred shares at $5, 100 at $2 50, 200 at fl 50, 250 at $3. 500 at $2 80, 500 at $3, 20 at |5, 50 at $1 87**. 100 at 84 75. ICO at 82 374?, and 100 at $2 874s. Several other lots were sold on private terms, and many of these were resold im mediately after at about an eighth profit. The bargains closed at $2 75iz3 a share, with a good prospect of improvement to day, when the worst is known. Levee stock was the absorbing sensation yesterday, and not a share of other stock was sold. We were told McConib had written a letter of seven pages in length to Governor Warmoth. in which Le denied having anything to do with the Levee Com* puny. This was joined with other preju dicial rumors. It is the first panic that has visited onr shores for a year at least. The excitement continued until sunset, and long after this hour groups of brokers and stockholders hung about the corners, either discussing the late turn affairs Lad taken, orelse making arrangements tocover heavy losses. The general opinion was against Levee, and ran into the currant that he who leaned upon fancy stocks supported himself PREMIUMS.
