The OLD FREE CoLoREp PoPUIATIoH OF
! New ORLEANs.--The editor of the Mobile
NeaOs, formerly citizen Of New Orleans,
and well versed in all its social character
iatics), thus speaks in a recent article,
written subsequently to visit to his old
home, of that class of free colored popula-
ton who inherited their freedom or ac-
quircd it legally before the late war:
We cannot, without injustice TO certain
class, refrain from stating that, notwith-
standing the most desperate efforts 10 Gre
ate conflict Of races, the old free popula
ton of color. that to whom freedom came
az an inheritance or areward for good and
faithful conduct offers most salutary OK
ample of moderation and good behavior,
not only between themselves, but also in
their daily intercourse with the whites.
Before the war, could be found in that
class some of the most Industrious, labor
GUS and honest members of society; their
status was universally respected, their
feelings never wounded, and, although
not enjoying that very doubtful boon, the
electoral franchise, their rights were as
sacredly guarded ~ those of any other
class
Limiting themselves to their own social
circle did not impose any greater restraint
on their enjoyments than TO the mechanic
of England and France, the non-inter-
course with the moro educated or wchlthier
classes, and up to 1845, when universal
suffrage was incorporated in the Constitu
ton of the State, their being deprived of
this so-caled privilege was no moro than
was done TO the most honorable and
worthy citizens who did not happen to
possess certain property qualifications.
We can affirm that the old free colored
population of New Orleans still deserves
The esteem and respect of all, and that,
with but few exceptions, they deeply re-
greet an agitation which, whilst It will
never remove certain prejudiees OF classes,
existing in all countries, may ultimately
envelop them in one common ruin with
the poor ignorant hordes now sought to
be made power in the State.
The free colored population of New Or
leans is generally well informed as TO the
part the like of them have played in San
Domingo. They know that the ''mulat-
toes" were amongst the first victims of the
hordes of Dessalines, who could not bear
the intellectual superiority of the mixed
race and, us usual found no better argu-
ment than an indiseriminate slaughter.
The miserable wretches who now at
tempt to stir up the passions of the igno-
rant blacks, and force them into q contla-
grafton on the ruins of which they dream
to build their own power, those wretcheS
will one day pay the penalty due to their
crimes, and none will greet in the more
sincere JOY the return to the former patri-
archal times than the old free colored pop
ulation of New Orleans.

paper gives the following information
Lay the writing on shallow dish and
pour SKINNED milk upon it. Amy spots

lightly upon them with feather. When
the paper Is wet all over with the milk,
take it up and let the milk drain off, and

fully, and it will be found to be perfectly
indelible. It cannot be removed even
with India-rnbber. 1t is an old recipe
