persuaded from my knowledge Of
the negro character, that nine out Of
ten of the late entire slave popula-
ton would support their former mas
ters, personally or politically, or any
way, in preference to all strangers
and / regard all as strangers in this
connection who did not stand in
this domestic relation towards them.
Nay, more: believe in my heart
that within twelve months from
the time the negro would obtain
the suffrage, neither the unfaltering
Southern Union man, nor the Union
man whose loyalty dates from his
obtainment of Federal office, could
live otherwise than on suffrance in
the States where the privilege was
given, il the individuals lately in re-
bellion were disposed to countenance
such proceedings.
In kindly and good feeling for the
African, | yield to none, even among
| the oldest or newest Of his friends;
and while no man, North or South,
is more willing to accept the situa-
tion as produced by the war, both as
respects him and all other issues de-
termined by the conflict, neither
deem it wise or expedient to clothe
him with the suffrage, nor can see
aught but danger and difficulties in
the agitation and discussion of such
topics. The emancipated slave has
much to learn. He has obtained
rights, aud they are universally
frankly recognized; he has duties to
discharge which it is incumbent upon
US all to instruct him to appreciate
and perform Should it please Proyi-
dence to fit him intellectually Tor an
equal place in the body polite with
the white citizens of the Republic, at
period much sooner than is now
anticipated, / have no doubt all will
rejoice; meanwhile it is obligatory
upon all to obey the laws and submit
without repiniDg to the popular arbi-
trament on this and all other SUBJ
jects.
I have full faith in the National
4 Administration. The distinguished
patriot now discharging the onerous
duties Of President of the Republic,
has enunciated his policy of recon
struction; that policy has my cor.
dial approval and support, and nc
means at my disposal, by which ]
can rightfully strengthen and sustain
his Administration, will be left un.
employed to that end On the other
, hand, my duty, as Governor Of the
State, is faithfully to execute the
laws, and this. with the help of God
and the generous cooperation of my

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION. just as we
gs to press says the N q. Eremng Times
Of the tth. we receive aud hasten to lay
before our renders the address OF the Uni
versal Suffrage Committee. of which Thos.
J. Durant is President, to Governor Wells,
urging him TO take such action as will per-
nit the colored people Of the State to ex-
ercise the elective franchise. We also
print the reply of the Executive. The
subject discussed in these documnnts has
been, we think very unnecessarily. forced
upon the consideration Of the public, but
from the Importance which oil Americans
must attach to the safeguards placed by
Jealous laws about the hallot-box, we can
not escape its discussion, nor avoid the
agitation which that discussion will pro
duce. We are of opinion that the demand
Of Mr.. Durant and his associates is neither
lust nor needed. 1t is needless, for oil
such measures as this should have their
origin with the people, and not with aself-
delegated few, and the people Of Louisians
are not yet prepared for the measure. IT
il unjust, ss it wholly disregards the pre-
ference and the sacred rights of the citi-
zeus of the State.
The Executive enunciates his views well
and clearly, and, we caudidly believe. will
meet with an approving response from the
great mass of loyal Louisianinus.
We reproduce elsewhere from the col
umns of the Times, the address and reply
above referred to, and cOucur with on,
contemporary in the reasonable views to
which he has given utterance in his com
ments.

Important Correspondence Between Gov
Wells, Thos. J. Durant and others.

boVefuOf Vi boulsiAho.
.Gouernor--The undersigned, the
Central Executive Committee OF the
friends of universal suffrage, respect
fully invite your attention to their
Organization and objects. .
They desire to see the elective
franchise extended to all the inhabit-
ants Of the State who are loyal, with
out distinction Of origin.
The rebellion has overthrown the
Constitution and civil Government
Of Louisiana, and rendered necessary
the creation of new State Govern
ment by the direct act OF the people.
The recent attempt here to rees-
tablish government on limited and
imperfect suffrage is an admitted
failure. You do not profess to hold
power by the form of election which
took place in February, 1864. You
assert and exercise power indie
pendent of the formal organic law.
| Your right to do SO, it is not our pur-
pose to draw in question. You en-
! Joy it. That is enough for what
we seek.
Under your discretionary powers
Won have defined the qualifications
Of those who may be admitted to the
registration of voters in New DR.
leans; but you permit the observ-
ance of different rule in the coun-
try. We urge you to enact uni
formity.
| We ask that before you shall order
any general State election, or for
members of Congress, you shall cause
a complete registration to be made in
every parish Of the State OF all loyal
citizens, without distinction of race
or origin, who have resided twelve
months in Louisiana.
This will introduce to the ballot
box the loyal element of the black
race hitherto disfranchised, but who
have acquired by emancipation the
title of citizens, and who have earned
by their devotion to the country, and
possess by natural justice, the right
to participate in government.
Such an act, sir, will make you
forever loved and respected in Louisi.
ana and throughout our country. Ii
will ensure the tranquility of the
State it will establish the logicaI
consequences of emancipation; il
will put an end to the power of that
aristocracy which organized the re-
belliou and still ambitiously aims al
the power OF the Government; il
will neutralize and oyerpower the
) rebel elements which cannot be sue
, cessfully excluded from the polls ; il
will speed our State on new anc
unknown career of wealth and honor
We respectfully ask reply il
: writing to this communication, ant
that you will be pleased to name al
! | early day on which to give it.
We remain, most respectfully, YOU

1t may at first seem strange that
n people who but yesterday, as it
were, engaged in struggle to dis
rupt the Union, should so soon unite

having fought a gallant fight in which
she was overcome by influences be-
vond her control, instead of growing
morose, and retiring from the contest
like " coward to bewail his loss OF
courage, she, conscious Of having
acted well her part, bows with be-

truth, that to which she is entitled
by virtue of her relationship-frill
membership in the sisterhood OF

honor, nor any humiliation, since de-
feat in manly contest leaves no stain
npon the escutcheon of the vanqulsh-
ed. 'Tis true, victory has its re-
wards, and defeat hath its punish
