THE CONSERVATIVE" PLArFo..it
The Conservatives" of Louisiana, who seem to
be reSaining all their former influence in that
State have just issued circular address, laying
down platform and proposing the organization
of ' Conservative " clubs. The platform proposes
tho support of the Union, the administration OF
President JOHNSON and the reorganization policy
Of Governor WELLS: the maintenance of the right
of suffrage now established by the Constitution
of Louisiana in opposition to the dictation Of Con-
gress, its extension to the colored population;
the sustaining all rights of the State as they cx-
listed before the war, except slavery; opposition to
religious questions i'll politics. and secret political
organizations; and full and complete amnesty
relative to the late secession It has been report
cd that the man acting as Mayor of New Orleans
under Governor WELLS appointment, is included
under the last head, having been q rebel editor.
The State Executive Conservative Committee
accordingly recommend the Conservatives" OF
every representative district and parish to organ
ize Conservative clubs, representatives of which
shall be members of the State Convention.
This Conservative party appears to be made up
OF old citizens of the State, who were largely in
sympathy with the secession movement and the
administration Of the late Governor MOORE.

man OF fortune, lived like gentleman, and was n
kind, good master to his servants. Inside the
house the gcnteman's wife informed us that she
had no cook, and that q boy she had hired from the
to nurse him herself In the great majority Of
cases, when negro servant can be prevailed upon
to enter your service, he is so idle and stuffed
with false notions OF his freedom, that they are
rather a burthen than help to the family. With
these facts before us, we read paragraphs in the
radical press like the following from one Of their

in cities and plantations the cry is for laborers

The LONDON TIMES on THE NEGEo.-The London

Of the negroes:
Helpless, impulsve, Ignorant, with little pay
found liberty, and opportunity to tempt them to
violence and plunder, can we wonder If the exist

Oh, the other hand, the great mass of the slaves
seems destined to pesish together with the system
which, if it tyrannized over, brutalized, and de-
Viding them with food, lodging and clothing.
1t is easy. for victorious Government by few
words to strike off the letters of the slave, and
suddenly dslocate and destroy the industry Of q
whole community, but it is not easy for it to find
an answer to- this awful question, which it has
raised for itself Ind which every day more and
more importuney demands am answer.-- -
