Release Of President Davis.

We are gratifed to learn that Jeffer
son Davis, the late President of tn
Confederate States, has been release.
on bail, and is now at liberty. Fo
two years Mr.. Davis has been languish
ling in . public prison, charged with
high crime, and has been PERSISTENT,
denied that speedy and impartial tria
which is guaranteed the meanest cul
prit who offends against the law. Nei
ther he, nor his friends have ever de-
clined a trial, but have been ready
from the beginning to abide by The
forms and decisions Of the Courts ap,
plicable to such cases. 1T is not strange
that the delays of the officers of justice
| in this case should have provoked com
plants, and aroused in some quarters
that popular indignation, which has
finally resulted in the release Of the
accused It is natural that the South
ern people, whose chosen leader he
was, who simply reflected their will
and carried out principles for which he
was no more responsible than they,
should have feltkeenly the,opprobrium
cast upon Mr.. Davis while they were
enjoying am undisturbed liberty and
immunity from punishment. But their
conduct in this matter has been worthy
of all praise. D They have smothered
their. discontents for the sake Of the
prisoner and the harmony Of the coun- !,
try, and have borne the indignity with
the most commendable patience. Such,
however, has not been the case with
many Of the ablest and most enlighten-
ed men at the North. They have been
loud in their demands that Mr.. Davis
be either tried or discharged from Gus
tody. Not only Conservative men but
leaders ofathe Republican party, who
were unwilling that their country's VIC
torious laurels should be furnished by
an act unworthy Of its dignity and hu-
mainly, have demanded this from the
first, and would not abandon their eff
forts until they had accomplished their
objects. Among these are Mr.. Horace
Greeley, the ablest Of the Radical edi-
tors, and Mr.. Gerritt Srritli, one Of the
pioneers of the Abolition party. These
gentlemen, have proved their faith in
the. cause they advocated by signing
their names to the bail bond given for
the appearance of Mr.. Davis whenever
it shall be deemed proper to put him
on his trial. o rgss8ryTcYtfrYyv-J
We are not informed as to the fur
Their movements of Mr.. Davis. Though
the Southern people are delighted to
know that he is safe among them, their
conduct towards him will be in keep
ing with that which has hitherto dis
them. They will Of course
refrain from public demonstrations of
their feelings, which might be offensive
to their rulers, and lead to a restriction
IF the privileges of their leader. It is
' % that even the freedmen in the
Court room rushed. forward to shake
lis hand, and testify their pleasure at
lis release. AS regards Mr.. Davis
'wn. conduct, we are confident that the
lightly and propriety which have here
ofore marked itin his most trying mo-
nents, will not desert him in his change
# circumstances. t''' '''''''@ ia

u Reports are continually and per-
sistently put in circulation among the
. Freedmen in this Parish, that are as
false as they are base and pernicious.
The Freedmen are assured that unless
they vote the Radical ticket, they1will
beiarrested and sent to the Penitentia-
ny, and, ifunderi any c ;il,i u llr stances,
they heed or seek advice from the
Southern people or their former own own
ers, they will again be enslaved. We
beg to remind the colored people of this
Town and Parish, that they are free
and entitled to vote, and as such have
the undoubted privilege and right to
vote as they see fit and for whom they
please and not for one moment, to lis
ten tothe lying and incendiary advice
OF the roaming and idle Radical vaga-
bonds, both white and black, who un-
dertake to gull them with such nom
sense and trash. None are more hon
estly anxious than the people of this
Town and Parish, that they should ex-
ercise their new privilege with perfect
freedom and free from molestation and
hindrance from any quarter, much less
from those, who pretend for pay and
through the garb Of religion to be their
only friends and peculiar guardians
What more evidence do they desire
than the manner in which these incen-
diary and secret political meetings are
held. They are always held in the
Church, that should be devoted to acts
OF prayer, charity and good win among
brethren, thus converting the House of
God into a den of infamies, bad advice
and oath bound ipiquities. % Let our
colored people beware ofall these and
shun them as they would the plague or
the small pox. These men, if they de-
serve to be called men, are mot their
friends, but their worse enemies. Let
them be sober, Industrious Il and lrd make
an honest livelihood for themselves and
families, Which viii ensure them the es-
TEEN and respect ofthe people andmake
them happy and contented people,
Above all avoid beng induced to 90 to

man would for one moment think
of asking you thus to debase yourselves

pied, worthless seamps, have been able
