Liberia need more freedom, and nothing
but American freedom win make them
truly free; and the American colored man,
as now developing, can carry the necessary
germ and spirit there, and thus infuse new
soul into these regions. And the same may
be said of Africa herself So that there is
an immense field for the American colored
man if he would carry his knowledge and
the power he may have at future
day into those regions, where his kins
men are still in state of bondage or
comparative barbarism. Such a course
being adopted, gradually developed and
wisely conducted, would, in a few years,
bring incomprehensible good, alike to all
mankind, of any ordinary degree of civiliza-
ton upon the globe.
Make sody, then, for liberty. and let the
| colored man be encouraged by the power
| of arms, to come to the rescue of his kins-
men, by every fair means, upon every part
of the globe. Let the American col0red
man be encouraged to this end, for he will
carry with him the true force and spirit of
freedom, as called here in America; and the
colored race everywhere, with the aid of
the white man. will speedily come to see
| and realize the intrinsic relations and value
of higher and more refulgent light and
civilization, where now only fourishes and
is nourished the rank weeds of ignorance
and slavery, the fragrant and beautiful
flowers Of Light and Liberty would spring
up and bloom perpetually for the coIored
colored man, and for all.

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

me removal Of Hugh Kennedy from the
Office Of Mayor and the appointment of Col.
:. NJ. Quincy, to that place, has been the
event of the week of most interest to our
people. The appointment of DR.. Kennedy
to the Mayoralty by the late Gen. Hurlbut,
through our departed Governor Wells, was
the beginning of new rule of Copperheads
and rebels, out of which, if it were possible,
slavery would be re-established and all the
old wrongs of the slavocracy would be again
fastened upon us. Slavery never had a
stronger advocate than DR.. Kennedy, nor
more practical supporter than Gov. Wells,
who, owning three hundred of us in bondage,
could not be expected to repent in day,
as indeed he did not; for instead of emanci-
pating his slaves he had them brought near
to New Orleans, where he helped to support
them, while he made political capital with
the Radicals out Of this professed humanity.
But there are people who believe that he
SO located them, that in case slavery might
not be abolished, or compensation might be
offered, he might the more easily secure
them or get pay for them while on the other
hand, if they were really freed, he would
still increase his political capital with the
Radicals, by seeming to surrender with a
grace, the poor people he could not hold.
Gov. Wells was loud in his professions of
radical politics, which secured for him the
nomination and election for Lieutenant
Governor. How much he must be welded
to the spirit, If not to the fact of the " old
evil" may be known by his removal Of
Union free State men, and his appointment
of rebel sympathizers and registered enc
mics to their places, at the very time when
our new President, the brave and loya
Andy Johnson, the liberator of our race ir
Tennessee, was speaking every day to dele
cations against just such men and sucf
policy as our Governor was advancing.
We cannot help being thankful to God
who all through this revolution for our free
dom has sent us deiverance at the righ
time that on this occasion the strong han(
of our friend, Major Gen. Banks, wa
present to protect us from the new
rule of rebels and copperheads. Defeated
here, Gov. Wells and DR.. Kennedy, with
few of their friends have gone to Washing
ton, to lay the Last hope and the last praye
f of the returning rebels, and the anxiou
/ Copperheads of Louisiana at the feet of tn
4 heroic President Johnson, who, all his life
has been fighting to overthrow just sucl
e men as now ask him to restore them t
e power.
/ May they have a good time in learnin
J. from our noble President that the scepte
has departed from their hands, becaus
/ they held it for evil, and henceforth ther
i is for them only repentance and quiet sui
l. mission to the true people whom the God {
Freedom has appointed to rule.

JEFF. DAvIs'S PBoPHECY.-lt viii be re-
membered that Col Jaquess, in the famous
embassy to Richmond told JEFF. Davis that
the work of conquering the rebellion was
nearly complete, and asked him if he had
not better accept honorable terms at once
and save the pride of the Southern people.
Whereupon, says Edmund Kirke, Mr..
Davis smiled" and delivered himself of the
following edifying views:
/ respect your earnestness, Colonel, but
you do not seem to understand the situation.
We are not exactly shut up in Richmond.
If your papers tell the truth, it is your capi-
tai that is in danger, not ours. Some weeks
ago Grant crossed the Rapidan to whip Lee
and take Richmond. Lee drove him in the
first battle, and then Grant executed what
your people call brilliant flank move
ment," and fought Lee again. Lee drove
him q second time, and then Grant made
another flank movement" and SO they
! kept on-Lee whipping and Grant f1anking-
until Grant got where he is now. And what
is the net result? Grant has lost seventy
FIVE or eighty thousand men-rore than Lee
had Ut the outset-and ia no nearer taking
| Richmond than at the first; and Lee, whose
/ front has never been broken holds him
completely in check, and has men enough to
spare to invade Maryland and threaten
! Washington? Sherman, to be sure, is before
| Atlanta; bat suppose he is, and suppose he
| takes it. You know that the further he goes
| from his base of supplies the weaker he
! grows, and the more disastrous defeat will
! be to him. And defeat may come. So, in q
| military view, l should certainly say our
| position was better than yours.

NEWSPAPER PERSONALITIES.

Heightened gentlemen never indulge in
low and vulgar personalities Newspapers
whose editors are possessed of good brains
and right hearts will not insult the editors
pen in such business. We might engage in
a crusade of that sort if our education was
| of type to create a love for it; but as we
believe that the abuse of bad principles and
the advocacy Of holy cause will occupy
our time sufficiently, we refrain from 1t.
Our cause in Louisiana has suffered enough
from the indiscretion and folly OF would-be
friends, who have taken by far more pains
to assail those who would make US strong,
rather than to strike down known rebels,
who are everywhere around US. When
all the friends Of liberty in this State are
joined together in unity, even then they are
numerically and mournfully weak, and
hence the madness Of engaging in a war
that only imperils our cause.
We might quote from the records of tie
past; we might compare the speeches of
men on some occasions with those uttered
on others; we might in like manner COM
pare newspaper articles and show strange
INCONSISTENCIES unu VI bdoC
we might ransack creation" and be
very successful in crusade Of per
sonalities were we so disposed. We enter
upon a higher duty. We are bound to
strengthen and not to weaken our cause.
We are not blind to the fact that the black
mans white friends are few among US. We
desire to make them more, not less. Our
own people are right when rightly informed,
that is, they are right at heart, andit is mad
ness and folly to lead them in darkness.
We implore all true friends of freedom to
engage in that work that will make US
strong, and that will advance the cause of
freedom. Wemust be a unit in order that
we shall soon vote; and in order that we
may enjoy all the privileges of other free

IN AID OF THE SOULE HOUSE, COLORED
ORPHANS HOME

Wednesday night large and attractive
audience of colored people assembled at the
Orleans Theater, to promote the object of
the Colored Orphans Home, at the Soulc
House, under the charge of Madame Louise
D'Mortie.
The committee of arrangements exhibited
much industry and skill in the conduct of
the affair. The performances were of an ex-
celIent class, and were well received by an
intelligent audience.
Such was the demand for seats that all
were disposed of early, and quite a crowd of
ISLANDERS filed all available parts of the
| house. We noticed in the audience many
| well known friends. Among them were
Major Gen. N. P. Banks, Brig. Gen. Lee,
Major B. Rush Plumbly, Chaplain Conway
and lady, Rev. Mr.. Harmount, Thomas J.
Durant Esq, B. F. Flaunders and others.
| Madam D'Mortie to whose humanity and
energy we are indebted for the existence OF
the Soule House Asylum, appeared in
several pieces as reader and
vocalist to great satisfaction. Madam
D'Mortes elOcution is of high
order. Her reading is in no respect in
ferior to that of our best public elocu
tionists Her voice is rich and has remark
| able compass and is in excellent command
She possesses the advantages of a fine
presence, of perfect selfpOsseSsion and o
excellent taste in dress. In singing, her exc
cution was the best of the evening" but WI
!! think that she is no exception to the rule
that great readers are never great singers
nor are great singers fine readers. Elocu
tionary exercise developes another set of or
gans and muscles from those brought out
specially by singing.
Madam De MortieS rendition of the Mar
sellaise was admirable in manner and execu
ton, but one could detect in her vocaliza
ton the habit of the elOcutionist. With hel
varied talents! and accomplishments, anc
| her belief in a noble future for her race
Madam De Mortie will be a great addition
to our society in New Orleans, and an abl(
helper of our advancement.
Miss Williams appeared to us to be ever
in better voice than when at Economy Hall
She sang with precision and sweetness
although apparently somewhat timid before
so large an assembly. Her dress was in ex
| cellent keeping.

gentlemen did well. The orchestra deserves
much praise. Altogether the affair was

ANDREW JoHNsoN.-The Albany IN Y.)
Argus pays the following graceful tompli-
ment to President Johnson:
During all his career of official life, An
drew Johnson was student and thinker.
He was Of the school of Jackson. BE
avoided the fractional movement of White,
and was the antagonist of Bell, when the
Know Nothing organization was formed. he
bitterly .hated the nullifers, and as bitterly
the Abolitionists. But the former rose in
arms against the country, and he concen-
trated upon them his fervent wrath. He de-
manded the downfall of slavery; and, az
Governor of Tennessee, did all he could to
consummate its destruction in that State
His position, as a Southern man, gave him
great power to do this. We believe him to
be man of entire selfCOntrol, despite re-
cent iutimations Of an opposite character
The American people will not have occasion
to depIOrc his want of selfCommand. That
he is disposed to treat with severity the
leaders of the rebellion, we do not doubt
Especially is he inclined to redress the
wrongs Of the Union men Of the South, and
to punish their OpprcsSOTs. The military
power Of the Confeaeracy having been scat
tered the South is at his mercy. There IS
no enemy to confront him there, no enemy
behind to excite his fears. Most cruelty is
the result Of coWardiCc. He is not q coward ;
and if he feels that all men of all parties are
disposed to sustain and strengthen him, he
win be enabled to act solely from his judg-
ment Of what is best for the country.
