Nothing elevates us so much as the pres

own.
How ignoble most mems lives would ap-

The incapacity of men to understand
each other is one of the principal causes Of

To commiserate, is sometimes more

Affection, like spring flowers, breaks
through the most frozen ground at last,
and the heart which asks but for another
heart to nske it happy, will never seek in
vain.
The spirits of man are the thermome-

Free Negro Suffrage in louisiana.

Although not, perhaps, necessary, we take occasion
to direct the attention Of our readers to the article
headed as above, extracted from the Alexandria
American of the 26th ult regarding 1t as containing
matter affecting the honor and interests of every
white man, woman and child in the commonwealth.
1t is another strong link in the chain of testimony
demonstrating incontestibly that Robert A. Hunter,
candidate for State Treasurer, has been guilty of
aiding and abetting, protecting and defending,
free negroes in the parish Of Rapides in the ex-
ercse OF the right Of suffrage, numerous proofs of
which have already appeared in these columns.
1t makes the record complete. 1t leaves no loop
upon which the most incredulous or the most parti-
san can hang doubt. The great, stunning fact, is
apparent as that the MONDAY sun is now blazing
down upon us, that Col. Hunter has been voter Of
free negroes in the parish Of his residence for several
years past! There is no avoiding these conclusions
mo controverting these truths.
Well may the editor OF the American and the
people CT Rapides apprehend an emigration of free
negroes to that parish from all parts of the State and
oil quarters of the South If the present condition
things is tolerated much longer. If something is not
done to arrest the perncous and dangerous practice
of encouraging free negro voting, it is within the
bounds of probability that the white sufragans il
that parish viii be outnumbered by their sable ant
yellow-comple contemporaries before the apst
of decade And when this comes to pass th,
whites will be obliged to extirpate the blacks els
leave themselves for preponderance of free black
would render the country entirely uncongenia to re
spectacle white folks. a
With these observations, we submit the article re
ferred to- and ask for it an attentive consideration
the hands Of the public. q.
