Mr.. HAMLIN's DEMocRAoY.-Iu annornc.
ing the nomination of Mr. Hamlin for the Vice
Presidency, the Ohio Statesman (Demoeratic)
has the bad taste to say that until ewithiu the
last six years that gentleman was an out and
out and ultra Democrat, but having quarreled
with his party, was discarded by it." To this
the Cincinnati Commercial very properly re-
piled as follows:
'sMr. Hamlin never 'quarreled with his par
ty,' and was never discarded by it, On the
contrary, he is just as much of democrat as
ever he was, and it was the democratic vote of
Maine-which could not be cheated nor driven
into the support OF the Slave Democracy
which elected aamlin Governor in 1856, by
by $4,000 majority, aud u. S. Senator the
next year. That Maine has always been q
Democratic State, is fact as notorious as any
in our political history Her people have
chosen to stay democratic, while the sham de-
mocracy, to which the Statesman belongs, have
gone over to despotism. That's all.

THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM A SwINDLE.
We comnend the following extract frcm a
speech of Avery, of North Carolina, in the
Charleston Convention. It corro5o1ates all
that the Republicans have alleged concerning
the Cincinnati platform:
He would say, never yield one inch upon
the abolition question, but meet it boldly, fair
ly, squarely. He asked them whether this is
sue was met boldly, fairly and squarely upon
this squatter sovereignty platforml The Gin
oinnati platform is ambiguous. We at the
South say it means one thing--they at the
North say it means another. We ask You now
to settle its meaning. We say, take bold
stand, and declare what it really means, bold-
ly, openly and thoroughly. The minority say
they are willing to leave its Interpretation to
the Supreme Court. That is no convenience
to the South. They take it for granted that
all Democrats are law abiding citizens, and if
so, when decision of the Supreme Court IS
m ade, adverse to their views, they will sub
init it 10 it a matter of course. 1t is no So
luton of the question, no settlement Of the
issue satisfactorily, in the South, to say.
LEAVE ls~fn the Courts. ?,

PARTICULARS OF MIRAMoN's RETREAT--CAP-
TURE OF SUSPICIOUS BARK.

PENSACOLA, April 6.-By the arrival Of an
officer from the sloop of-war Savannah, which
lies six miles below this city, the following in
teresting particulars from Vera Cruz are given:
Gen. Miramon and his army commenced the
boMbardment of Vera Cruz on the morning of
the 2lst ult. The fire was inccssantly kept up
during three days, but towards the evening
Of the 23d Mramon began, to retreat with his
forces from the walls Of Vera Cruz, having
met with heavy loss.
Had Miramon persisted little longer before
the walls of the city he would have been able
to have captured it, for the Juarez, or Liberal
forces, were nearly destitute of ammunition,
&C.
On the evening of the 23d ult the steamer
Indianola, recently purchased by the Consti-
tutional Goverement of Mexico, and fitted out
as war steamer to cruise along the coast OF
Mexico, arrived off the castle Of San Juan dc
Uffua, und brought broug git to anchorage bark cap
tured by her on suspicion of being pirate.
The bark was captured in the neighborhood
of Alvarado, bearing Spanish colors. She was
bound. according to the statements of her Of
ficcrs, for Galveston, but her compasses having
been put out of order she made for the nearest
Mexican port.
She is strongly suspected of being the third
vessel mentioned in the intercepted dispatches
OF Miramon as having supplies for him.

Free Negroes.

Several Southern States, looking upon the
mschirfwhich free persons of color may bring
forth, have excluded them from their limits
This is wise and jndcious plan; and we do
most sincerely hope ere long Louisiana will be
up with her Southern sister States in that re-
spcct. Ofwhat benefit are free negroes to any
community? They arc rather drawback, both
morally, politically and socially. The Free
Negro population Of our State are fast becom-
ing an intolerable nuisance, and it is now time
10 think of abolishing this nuisance; yea, it
should be wiped entirely out-lor the good of
the State and the community at large. This
mongrcl race, which are allowed to pollute the
name OF our fair State, with their worthless car
cases, are fast paving the way to Incidence.
dissipation, and vice; disorlerly and an in
subordinate set. 1t is an indisputable fact,
which no sane man will deny, that the negro is
adapted for no other purpose but that of scryi-
tude; that he was not created equal to the
white man, that he might be governed by him;
and that he is entirely incapable of selEgovern-
meht' and 1t is therefore necessary that he
should have master. 1t is more for his own
good, comfort and protection that such should
be the case. Nature and experience both teach
us that the negro is totally bereft of the quail
ties necessary for selfgovernment-res
IN self-beneiit. lie is naturally, habitually and
constllutionally lazy, and though amply pro-
vlded with the physical power to meet the de-
mands of hard labor, yet unless driven to it, he
will not work. They prefer rather-the mao-
rlty-to so half starved and half naked, before
they will come down to labor-if they can get
living in no other way. In whatever light
we may view the case, we are of the firm and
established opinion that free negro popula-
ton is not of the least possible benefit to any
community, and in most instances they are n
serious drawback. We think it would be
blessing to the South if the very last one of
them were driven from every Southern State
in the Union. If they want to enjoy the bless
lngs of freedom, let them do it to their hearts
content. We have no use for them: and il is
the duty of every Southern State to cyempt
them from their limits; and should they not
leave the State after proper warning, in Civ
en- length OF time, sell them for lifetime SER
'llude' letting the proceeds go to the State.
This method would soon rid us of this burth
ehsome grievance, and at the same time it
would give the hordes of cgroworshippcrs at
the North as much as they could attend to-for
IL While at least. Let them rest in the bosom
OF those who worship them by day and night
Iherc Is no telling but what there is kindred
relationship existing between them and their
Northern admirers-at least we have no doubt
out that some of them would make model hus-
bands and wives for their sons and daughters.
No doubt they would be welcomly received by
their ianatcal friends. As for lis of the South.
we deem it an act ofselfpreservation to relieve
ourselves of these worthless creatures, and the
sooner 1t is done the better-Bossier Banner.
