the negroes whenever they choose, they

season in the Parish of st. John the Bap-

miles above New Orleans. The lessee of
a government plantation, with a view to
encourage one of the negroes he had
hired, made the following special ar
rangement with him, to wit: to rent him
twelve acres of land, and furnish teams
to plough it, when they could be spared
from the place; in consideration of which
the negro was to have three-fourths of
the gross products of the cotton and corn
raised by him on the twelve acres, and
was to attend plantation garden of con-
siderable size, and to help plant and
grind about one hundred acres of cane,
which would occupy about one month of
his time The actual result of the ne

The soil is alluvial, lighter, and much
easier worked than on the Mississippi

subject to occasional overflow, about
twice in the last sixteen years, but the
lands on Bayou Cortableau and Bayou

The prospect of cotton culture for the
future is much more encouraging than
the cultivation of sugar, for reasons stat

good judges, cotton can be proftably cul

capable of cultivation, in the State. The

is one ofthe meancr and worse results
OF slavery, q poor white of the South.
He is n representative man OF a race
that 1t in its moral condition ofvicious,
ignorant bigotry is far below the negro.
Born in n land where labor is degrade
ton, he followed for a living that call
ing which Of all others is held i'm the
greatest contempt.
We cut the above from n speech de-
livered by q Radical Stumpcr n few
days since in Bob. Schenck's District.
This Racial stumper has rather n con
temptible opinion of President Johnson.
The reader will bear in mind that this
same Radical stumper voted for John
son in 1864 for Vice President on the
ticket with Lincon for President,
knowing all the time who and what
Mr., Johnson was. Now this man has
the impudence to come out in a public
speech and d~enounce the President of
these United States rs "a poor white
man." that che is far below the negro"
and is a mechanic, "a calling of all
others Is held in the greatest contempt
Read the extract over again. 1t
appears from it that Andrew Johnson
was at n time "a poor white man.
that at that time she was far below tho
negro, and that he was in his poor
days a mechanic, and followed the
tailoring business, 80 calling that of all
others is held in the greatest con-
tempt" What think you of that kind
of talk, coming as it does form a Radi-
cal Republican? He attacks the "poor
white man and the mechanic through
President Johnson.
We take 1T when we read and re-
read the above extract that President
Johnson must have been at ono time in
his life a Southern "mud-sill," and he
now stinks ia the nostrils of one Col
Dom Piatt.
For proof of tho commences of the
above extract we refer the reader Il

put down the rebellion, a. the "allies
of the traitor hordes of the South"
These fellows, who assume TO talk
so meanly about their neighbors, have
the reputationin a small circle offriends
of having been out and in the late war.
But history yet fails to notice the fact
that either of these warriors performed
any very great or heroic exploits. They
fortunately survive without wounds to
to exhibit to their numerous stay-at-
home p~artizans. They can talk glibly
and b~oisterously about their fellow
soldiers, and denounce them in con-
junction with the "traitor hordes of
the South" because tho brave soldier,
who went out to put down the rebel
lion and restore the Union, will not
vote for negro equality and will not
sustain tho efforts now making to pre-
vent a reunion of these States on the
basis o fthe Constitution.
VIZ have noticed that the Democrats
in all their calls for public meetings
have studiously avoided the expression
of anything calculated to insult or ag-
gravate any portion of eur people.
Not SO with these men. If they are
soldiers, and brave at that, they would
scorn to use such disrespectfu language
against hundreds of other soldiers.
Such language, as is contained in the
above call, when applied to the III
merous soldiers Of Morgan county who
vote for the Union and Constitution,
belongs TO and is only used by the
vcnal and cowardly, and by the politi-

The time is neal at hand when one
of the most important elections takes
place, which it has ever been our prov
ince to record, one on the result of
which depens the stability and pcrpet-
uity of the old Union.
The old Constitution under which
we have lived and prospered, MS no
other nation has ever done, is now
sought 70 be changed by q Radical
faction, who assumes TO act for the
Republican party. Are we prepared
to change the whole fabric of our free
institutions, and arc the men in power
whom we as old Wings and Demo-
Gratis, used to d%cnounce as fanatical
Abolitionists-are they the men to
dictate terms of the new organism of
our Government? The old Constitu-
ton is still held and reserved. as u
solemn compact, and it has been the
pride and boast of the world, that no
better document ever emanated from
the pen ofman. 1t has preserved us
in times Of peace, and through the ter
rible perils and fire ordeals of civil
war. Then why seek to change it,
and particularly at thistime, when ten

that the generous impulses that gov

strument, does not beat in the bosoms
Of those who now present the change
in the shape Of Constitutional amend
ment. The radicals plainly see that
they are, and will ere long be in a
hopeless minority, unless their cherish
ed schemes of power succeed. They are
aware that a majority of the white men
Of this uation arc AGAINST their mad
schemes and opposed to making this q
mixed Government. For this reason
they seek TO incorporate the negro in
to their party to vote the white man
down, and so that New England may
forever control the legislation of the
General Government. They want to
cut down Southern representation, so
that the free West will have M formi-
dable ally, to assist her when' New
England demands o protection, and
patronage of the Government. Surely
no man with a grain of common sense
can ever look for justice at the hands
of New England. When was she ever
the ally of the West, never, but the
South has ever stood by the agricultu.
raj interest ofthe great West, and in
all questions affecting her people, she
has steadily voted with us against The
