The radical platform on the negro question
as announced by Rev II. w. Beecher at 4
meeting held in his church on Sunday nigh,
in behalf of the National Freemap's Assoca
tiop. Mr.. Beccher said that first, the Asso
citation did not propose analgamation, that
fact being off nsive to the tastes Of tho North
foreign to its habits, and in uo way agreeable
to its desires. AT the North it has never been
believed 10 as a system; at the South, on {! e
contrary, it is a custom of established and
practical habit; a habit of which the
Southerners may always have the monopoly.
Second. The Association does not propose
to thrust the freed negro into the market a:
a competitor with the workmen Of the North
The negro would not be suited with the North
nor the North with the negro. Once let lib
erty be established at the South, and the
North will be whittier than ever.
Third, 1t does not propose to admit the
negro to political fellowship. Wo deny our
children that privilege until they are twenty
one, and make {, reigrers undergo probation
The negro is not Al exception, for he is child
ish and ignorant and must not enjoy the right
until he is fit for it, and the people wish him
to enjoy it.
Fourth, The Association proposes to t. ach
him to work, beginning where bis master
left off.

One Of The many delusions Of the South.

bis own labor could not raise cotton and sugar

Maj Gen. Butler. finding that it was necessary
to feed the starving population Of New Orleans
conceived the idea Of organizing forcc OF a
thousand white laborers, men with families
who should be employed at fair wages upon
the sreets and public works Of New Orleans.
Through the entire summer these men have
wrought on the levee and canals, either wheel
ing dirt 10 increase the width Of the land in
front of the city, or in cleaning out the various
canals, which the drainage Of the city demands
for it's preservation from inundation. In the
very nature OF things no work could be hard

Now the Ievee laborer's ork was 10 wheel out

very cor siderable elevation, and deposit it 10

were much Of the time kpee.deep in the most
offensive drainage of the cutters and streets,
which, black offensive, much "a 1t was turned

the evils Of the tropical heat. And yet these
men, day after day, worko all summer and
enjoyed uninterrupted health. In fact finer
set of men, as far as tho nero physical man
was concerned, never saw, yet in spite of
the evidence, there are hundreds, even here,
who will gravely tell you tina, the white man

and secure cotton or sugar crop. In other
