Lou sIANA, New Orleans La, May H. 1861
Rumors having reached these headquar-
tiers Of fears that disturbances are anticl-
pated therefore as Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmens Bureau and as your
friend, ! deem it my duty to address and
advise you.
You have been brought from a condition
OF slavery to freedom by the Government Of
the United States. You have been given
the right of participating in the election of
State and Federal officers. You have the
same political status as loyal white citizens,
The United States Government, if neces
sary, Will protect you through the military
but you 1cR not be protected in ,cr0ag doing.
Your enemies are watching you, and win
be only too delighted to see You commit
some excess or outrage. The eyes of your
friends in the North, who fought for your
freedom, are also fixed upon you, and /
counsel you not to disappoint those who
shed their blood for you. Commit no excess.
Be patient. Submit to lawful authority.
and by so doing you will gain friends. If
you are turbulent, if you are disrespectful
to lawful authority, if you are the guilty
cause of bloodshed, the people of the whole
North will turn against you. Your only
friends will desert you, and you may lose
those rights which 1t cost the country so
much to gain for you,
have, however, confidence in your dis
erection and good sense, and am sure you
will consider no man your friend who at
tempts to incite you to deeds of violence.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In the Times Of yesterday an article ap.
pears in answer to my article in your last
paper.
The CALLED jade" wiuces most ap-
parently. In attacking Mr.. Stille through
Governor Wells, why did he not allude to
the appointment of George Roman to the
same Office, whose domicile was in the parish
Of St. James, or to the appointment of p.
Sauve, who resided in the parish of jefferson.
The animus of the Times IS perfectly
transparent in its intense hatred of Cover
nor Wells, it pitches and rants about like
a blind dog in meat house.
So far as General Sheridan is concerned.
the writer is humbly convinced that the
General cares very little for him or his
advice He has no affinity with treason or
its defenders. JUSTICE.
