LOUISIANA-THE UNION.

The recent mission Of Mcssrs. Landowner and
Bcrtonneau, delegates from the Free Colorcd
population Of New-Orlcans 10 Washington,
seems to be grossly inexperienced. We think
even the reported response of the President
eyinces misconcepton of the claim advanced,
which We trust has been cleared up. A recent
Washington letter mistakenly says:
THE free cO!0rod citizens ol Louisiana are before
Congress asking that the elective franchise b. con.
icrred upon thcn Tho petitioners conscious that
such power conferred upon them would b. contrary
10 the prov onr Of the Constitution Of the State but
reason that AZ the military authorities in that state
rave set aside IN one or two particulars the provisions
81 tue Constitution the military officers 20 still
frtbef and extend to them the right Of suffrage how.
ever Obnoxious such course night BE- 10 the laws
the people
The facts here travestiod are substantially as
follows:
Louisiana was coded to us by France on GER
tam express conditions, among which was q
stipulation that the citizens thereof should en-
JOY all the rights and privileges Of citizens Of
the United States. Now the Constitution and
laws then III force Of Republican France knew
no distinction between free persons ON account
Va 'hVH tOiol, pub nttuIcu Cluul IIButo W ui
These free colored people Of Louisiana--gencr.
ally children of French fathers by African
mothers-were legally Frenchmen and entitled
as such to all tho legal rights of Frenchmen
That they have for half century been denied
those rights by the Constitution and laws Of
Louisiana does not invalidate them; nor can
that Constitution, those laws, estop or override
their claim, which is founded on treaty which
is expressly declared by the Federal Constitu-
lion the supreme law of the land, anything
III the Constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding Besides, there ras
no State Of Louisiana and of course she had no
State rights, at the time we made the Treaty
with France whereby We acquired Louisiana;
and the rights thereby vested cannot be di-
vested by our subsequent action.
What is the answer to this Can one be con-
trived or imagined that will authorize us to hold
ION to Louisiana yet repudiate an important con-

STRIKES AND LAWS.

Very gross misrepresentation are aioat Of Il
bill recently submitted to the Senate of our
State by Mr.. Hastings, whereof the following
is an exact copy:
Section eight Of title III, chapter one Of part first OF
the Revised statutes tx amended by adding thereto the
following:
.hsl be lawful for sny person, either by himself or IN
combination with any Other person persons by force
Menace threat Of personal pocunary injury prevent
deter attempt 10 prevent deter o:her person
engaging continuing an any lshor service III

oense shall be deemed guilty OF isc oLnor and shall be
punished by inp .oEsBt la Tia County Jail not exceeding
month by hnc lot exceeding $780, by both and
imprisonment.
What is there wrong in this How does it
forbid strikes, as has been asserted We
insist on the right of laborers to combine to
require certain rates for their labor, Just as we
maintain the right of coal-dealers to combine to
exact a certain price ior their commodity, or of
consumers not to pay that price. mans
faculties and industrial capacities are his own,
and he has perfect right to ask his own price
for them or their product, and to combine with
others TO refuse to take less. So Ear, all is clear

Italy Sextus, in his treaty with the victorious
triumyirs, stipulated fOr the freedom Of all those
slaves who had fought under his orders. De-
tavius shameessly violated this article, and re-
turned those to bondage who should have been
protected by it. Hence followed a succession
of servle wars illustrated by the dauntless
courage of Spartacus, and his extraordinary
successes, when he cut to pieces. consular ar

There are those who will not regard prece-

will claim that every age, in composing its own

Is quite at liberty to follow novel paths and to
become itself the legislator of the future and the
creator of history. We do not object to q
consistent Indifference TO precedents; but we do
object, with all our force, to that shutting sub

A crowd Of persons met last night at the
Cooper Institute, and INDUCED in violent Trades
against the Administration. This in itself is OF
no consequence, but they went further and used
the name of Msor-Gen. Mcclellan in such n
manner as to lead the public to believe that he
countenances their proceedings. OF course he
does not, and if he considers these men of SUI
fcient consequence he will doubtless rcpudate
their folies. A respectful nomination for office
is not TO be despised by any man; but when a
nomination is coupled with low and foul
mouthed abuse Of o superior officer, no true
gentleman or brave soldier will allow his good
name to be connected Herewith. The meeting
was presided over by that remarkable octoge-
marian, the Hon. Amos Kendall, whose speech
was devoted mainly to regret that Andrew
Jackson was not here. We decidedly sympa-
thize with Mr.. Kendall, and regret as kcenly as
he possibly can that the Hero Of New-Oresns
was not in the Executive chair instead of the
pusilanmous sage Of Wheatland when South
Carolina passed her ordinance of secession in
