New Orleans Republican, “the judiciary is often corrupt and owns for its master the political party of the day . . . should abandon the inheritance which the fathers of the republic have bequeathed them, it would seem proper that they inquire whether every effort has been made to preserve those principles pure as when they were first delivered . . . For suppose we grant the corruption of political parties. . . . or the right to bear arms. . . . We have made a text of this article, because it is an open attempt to propagandize a contempt for our own institutions, and a preference for those which for centuries so oppressed mankind that they have been compelled to cross an ocean and hide themselves in a wilderness to escape.”, Oct. 3, 1875
