The Daily Clarion

Some of the Louisiana Republicans now propose Gen. Longstreet for Senator. We have no idea that the General has ever thought of such a position, but we would enjoy a feeling of perfect security for the South, if her honor were in the keeping of such men whether in field or council. He says it was not his intention to ally himself with the Radicals but simply to express his opinion of the situation into which the South had been practically brought by the war. No doubt the General, as a soldier, looks at this matter in a different light from that recognized by many politicians; and there can be no question that in writing his letter, as in exposing his life on the battle-field, he was actuated by no selfish motives, but by a sincere desire for what he believed to be the interests of the South.
