South plunged the Nation into this horrid
war. Shall we not, therefore, teach COM
ing ggenerations by living examples that
political powerisnot gained but tirretrieva-
bly, lost by rebellion against the United
States? Beside, the common mind at the
South has been heretofore SO much con-
trolled by the leading men that such de-
priyation of political power is absolutely
necessary to deprive the leading class
there of that influence over the Southern
thought, which has heretofore been and
will hereafter be exerted against the
Union. Being Democrat, / would
break down the landholding and slave
holding aristocracy of the South, which
has brought so much evil upon us. Is
not'the deprivation of political rights the
appropriate and mildest form of punish
ment of treason? Is this not necessary
measure of precaution against future
evilss For these reasons, therefore,
which I have scarcely hinted at, would
insist, before any that the inhabitants,
in their primary and fundamental law as
q part OF the frame of government should
solemnly. provide that there should
be neither SldrHy or Secession in their
State; and that Rebel debts and Rebel
rotes should be alike repudiated."

TIE NEaRo's PRAYER.
Lord, il thou dost with equal eye
See all the sons OF Adam die,
why dost Thou hide Thy face from slaves,
Consigned by fate to serve the knaves?
Stolen or sold in Africa,
Imported to America,
Like hogs or sheep in market sold,
To stem the heat or brook the cold,
To work all day and half the night,
And rise before the morning light.
Sustain the lash, endure the pain,
Exposed to storms of snow and rain,
Pinched both with hunger and with cold,
Aud if we beg We meet scold;
And after oil the tedious round,
AT night to stretch upon tho ground.
Has Heaven decreed that negroes must
BY cruel man be ever curs'd?
Forever drag the CALLING chain
And ne'er enjoy themselves againf
When will Jehovah hear our cries?
When will the sun Of freedom rise?
When viii Mosss for as stand,
And free us from Phardoh's band?
What though our skin be black as jet,
our hair be crs-ff our uUses mt
Must We for this no freedom have,
Until we find it in the grave

ST. JosEPH's CHURCH.-Rev. Fa-
Their LARNAUDIE, late cure OF this
Church, having been called to, and
accepted of the Presidency of Spring
Hilr College, near Mobile, as we are
informed, has left our city for his
new sphere Of labor. Whilst here,
Father LARNAUDIE uniformly ex-
hibited such marked kindness, be-
nevolence and amiability of char
acter, both in his clerical and per-
sonal relations, as to have firmly
entwined him around the affections,
esteem and veneration of our fellow
citizens, of whatever class or de-
nomination. 1t may be easily im-
agined, therefore, that his departure
from our midst is followed by many
sincere regrets, and by an equal
number of fond hopes and wishes
breathed for his future welfare and
prosperity.
Previous to his departure hand
some testimonial, pecuniary in Its
feature, the generous contribution OF
numerous citizens, was presented to
Father LARNAUDEE, as a faint token
of the high appreciation in which he
is held by our community.
Rev. Father LAcRoIx, his sue
cessor, late pastor of st. GabrleFs
Church, in the parish of Iberville,
has arrived and taken charge of his
new passionate. His reputation gives
assurance that he will be no NEAR
occupant of the place SO worthil5
filled by his immediate predecessor.
