When my native State Louisiana, required

At one time, in order to escape the hatred Of
the Northern fanatics, [ thought of seeking q
refuge in Brazil, but the generous sentiments
expressed by President Johnson toward the
Southern States have persuaded me, together
with great many other Confederate officers
and soldiers, to remain in Louisiana. / prefer

National htelhgencer, (which he sets forth

reconciliation. He says: II can conceive no
possible good to our country-to any country
to any section race or class, that is likely to be
secured Or promoted BY alienation betweenthes

that now weighs upon us, would beaggrayated,
every good put at hazard, every hope clouded,

collision" ali.E9 y Et s
Abiding to the novelty and difficulty Of our

questions affecting the natural rights Of freed

which he said: "The duties of tie office are mine;

God.
sGentlemen, shall lean upon you; 1 feel
that I shall need your support I am deeply
impressed with the solemnity of the occasion.
