nation. The slaveholding interest in this State 10
only scotched, not killed. l understand the COM
mittee that have been hanging round Washington,
pretending to represent the planters OF forty parishes
say they willing to spend million OF dollars TO
preserve Slavery in this State. How these men can
represent forty parishes when there not half OF
that number held by national forces to-day, unless
they pretend to represent rebels with arms in their
hands, is more than Is understood here.
What is needed in this State 10 that number OF
men Of the East and North should do for Louisiana
what they did for Kansas; let them put their hands
in their pockets and contribute literally out Of their
abundant means. The Union men here have mostly
been very severe sufferers by this war; they have
been made poor and are kept poor by 1t. Unlike
the people Of the North and the East, they have no
thriving trade or manufactures by which they can
flourish and grow rich under the war regime. They
are daily becoming poorer and poorer: 1t is I'M
porant that the Free State party here should have
representative in Washington, whose business IL
should be TO watch closely the movements OF the
Pro-Slaverv men; TO scrutinize all appointments
made by the Government. and take care that the
Slavery party do not get any more Of their friends
office here; 10 use his best influence TO have none
but Free State men put in Office in the State. Fur
the the Free State party here are sadly IN want OF
an organ-a daily newspaper, TO be managed ana
conducted by men who are pledged, and whose in
terest it IL, TO make Louisiana a Free Sta'e-a
newspaper whose editors shall be intimately ac-
quainied with the history Of the State and the
an;ecedents Of oil the public men, and who will not
be afraid TO speak out and tell the people WHO and
what the men that atp re to Office are-a newspaper
tina, will undertake TO show the people who tave
no interest ia Slavery, but who are not yet pre-
pared for the Free State movement, shat tue total
and final destruction of Slavery Is tie only hope OIL
the white man IN this State
But the accomplishment OF all this needs money
more money than the people here, with no trade and
no work, can spare for the purpose. Therefore let
our friends North, who have the means, look 10 this
am happy TO learn that one gentleman in The
North, whose name | have mislsid, has forwarded,
unsolicited 10 our Convention Committee SlUO, a.
beginning Of the good work.
The Convention Committee, OF which /. j. Du-
rant is President and james Graham Secretary,
taye now a suite of rooms. which are open day and
night, where all who feel interest IN their efforts
can meet and counsel together.
What the platform Of the Union men who meet
in The Lyceum Hall is, will be from the follow
ing resolutions:
