The Semi-weekly Shreveport news. [volume] (Shreveport [La.]) 1862-1864, 1862-08-01

Our late successes is having q beneficial
effect upon the people of the North, and
they are now making strenuous efforts to
check this war under innunerable pre-
tsnses we need therefore not wonder
should we hear of a revolution among
themselves. On the oath ult, Mr.. Sauis-
bury, expressed himself in the United
States Senate in worry strong language not
to be misinterprcted. The abolition party
received from him thrusts that they will
doubtless feel.
He said it was his deliberate and solemn
conviction that either abolitior.ism or
constitutional liberty mast die-the two
cannot exist together. Abolitionism has,
for the time being, dissolved the Union;
and while it lives it will remain dissolved
No free people either will or ought to sub
nit to its sway. 1t has been the author Of
all our political woes.
On the 1st inst according to the N. Y. Ex-
press, n meeting was held of the citiz ems
of New York and vicinity opposed THO fur
Their agitation of the negro question:, and in
| ,cds, and the maintenance of the Constitu-
| ton as it is. 1t was addressed by the Hon
| G. A. Wickliffe, of KY, VIM. Duer of New
! York, James Brooks, of the New York Ex-
press Hon. Fernando Wood and others.
The call for the meeting was signed by
| 20, 900 nersons.-Among the resolutions we
find the following, mild one, showing how
| they esteem the efforts of their abolition
| brethren:
''That this is a government Of white men
and was established exclusively for the white
! race that the negro race are not entitled tc
and ought not be admitted to political or so.
cial equality with the white race, but that il
is our duty to treat them with kindness and
consideration as an interior and dependent
race that the right Of tho several States te
determine the position and duties of the race
is a sovereign right, and the pledges of thu
Constitution requires us, as loyal citizens

not to interfere herewith


The consequences that may arise from
this seemingly determined course, about to
be pursuedin the North, may prove very dis
asterous to the Federals, and at the same
time be Of considerable benefit to our
cause; for if they are to become divided,
it weakens them, thus Strengthening us,
and it will then he in the power of our peo-
pie, if they watch the moment, to take add
vantage of their family quarrels, and speed
lily terminate this war They regret having
enlisted in this contest they are not frank
enough to ADM the fact, and they are striv-
ing now to have no blame rest upon their
shoulders and thus cvade it. The effect
of this policy, we presume, will not be long
hidden in the dark, and in Il short time we
viii be better posted.

DEAR News: l have Just received

an excursion to Savannah.
This battery is built ON the most i'm
proved plan, and cost over two thousand
dollars, which amount has been raised By
the ladies of Georgia alone. All honor to
them tor their great energy and patriotism.

Cannot they raise sufficient amount to

battery could be built on Red River in time
for service in the winter, that with the as

erected during the summer and fall, would

Yankee gunboats that could be brought
