A GAME THAT TWo nAN P1AY Lr

The policy of prescription adopted by
Democrats for the purpose of controlling
the votes Of colored men will not prove
profitable. We copy this from the Colum-
bus (Ohio) Journal Of August I, to illus
trate our declaration that prescription for
political opinion is game that two can
play at:
We have heretofore spoken Of the idiotic
policy Of certain peppery barbarians in the
South, who are passing resolutions not to
eat their dinners any more unless they can
satisfy themselves in advance thar the
victuals are the product of Conservative
labor.
They are determined that the laboring
men shall vote as they dictate, or
starve. How much better would such q
condition Of things be for the laboring man
than slavery?
How long can the material interests Of o
country stand such an unenlightened,
heathenish, before-the-ageof Christ sort Of
policy? Such business rules would de-
stroy the richest country on earth. Can
the people of the South, impoverished by
war, specially needing labor-productiv
labor above all things-for her present use
and development, afford to fool like silly,
hotheaded, inconsiderate boys, over the
Political bias Of the laborer 50 much
needed?
Then, will It not be made TO recoil on
their own heads this Japanese policy Do
they propose to rip their own bowels out
Let us see Yesterday morning Louisian-
ian, who happened in the city, and who
does very large business, came into our
Office and inquired for New Orleans pa
per. We handed him the Republican, and
be proceeded to read. Very soon he ex-
claimed" I'll never ship another bale Of
cotton on the General Qaitman.v He
handed the following as explanation
'aCoL0RED MEN AND TIE STEAHBoATa.-The
oficaFH Of the steamboat General Qnitman,
Captain Leathers, last evening discharged
all the colored men Of the boat who were
not members Of some Democratic club, and
these officers declare that they will not
hereafter employ any freedman who can
not produce Certificate that be is an active
member OF some club. Il Is understood
that the Officers OF tho Red river boats
intend pursuing 8 similar course. Those
who SOW The wind may expect TO ssreap the
whirlwind," and perhaps these steamboat

opinions sake is . game that Two O. can "a,
play at.

- - AUGUST 26, 1868.
! ING central Committee of the Democratic Party Of
tne state Of Louisiana, at special meeting held at
their rooms August 2e, unanimously adopted the
following proceedings in regard to the sudden de-
cease of the Hon. JAMES MANN, Vice President
Of the Committee. and Delegate to Congress from
the Second Congressional District:
lmpellea by the highest sense OF public duty and
personal regard for the deceased, the COMMITTEES
can not forbear this last opportunity of bearing
testimony to the personal integrity lofty character
sndintegent patriotism Of our now deceased friend
Long and intimate association with him in efforts
to promote the general welfare day BY day deepened
his hold upon our affections and the affections of
the people OF our State. No narrow spirit was his.
In all his career since he became citizen Of Louisi
ana there can not be found the least taint Of envy
malice. or revenge. Absolute frankness and gener-
oslty were the prominent traits of his character.
AS our immediate associate on this Committee.
every act seemed inspired by patriotism that dis.
dained the restraints Of section or party and that
sought to restore not only the Union of the States
which he loved, bat also that fraternity of feeling
which all experience proves is essential to good gov
eminent and the public prosperity In the midst Of
career of great usefulness he has suddenly been
stricken down, and while we bow in submission to
the will OF Providence we but mourn the loss Of
one who was faithful and honored citizen, q sin.
eere and devoted friend, and whose memory will live
in the hearts of all that knew him
Resolved, That we offer our most sincere condo
enee TO the afflicted members Of the family of the
deceased.
Resolved, hat the officers and members of this
Committee will attend his funeral in body.
Resolved, That the various Democratic Clubs and
Associations earnestly requested to attend the
funeral in citizens dress.
Resolved, That the banner Of the Committee be
draped in mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That the President OF this Committee
send copy Of these proceedings to the family of
the deceased, the President OF the United States,
and both Houses of Congress.

A POWERFUL LETTER FROM A CON.
SENTATIVE,

SENTATIVE
We reproduce elsewhere the letter Of the
Hon. George NJ. Weston, of Maine, to
which we have before referred, and we ask
for it the special attention of all conserva-
tive men who dare to think for themselves
in this most perilous crisis in the history of
our country.
Mr.. Weston was two years ago the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from the
Fourth Congressional District Of Maine,
and has, up to the assembling of
the late Conventions, acted with
that party. He writes, it will
be seen as a Conservative. He was op-
posed TO the reconstruction measures of
Congress; and being bold and indepen-
dent thinker, he threw himself into the
ranks Of those who opposed those measures
in his own State, and became one Of their
standard-bearers as a candidate for Con-
gress. He is still opposed to much that is
embraced in the legislation Of Congress
in relation to the Southern States; but
like a sound and enlightened statesman,
he perceives that this legislation be-
ing an accomplished fact, recognized
by every department of the government,
and therefore binding in law and in morals,
to overthrow it suddenly, as the Demo
cratic platform proposes to do, would be to
involve the country in new disasters, mex
tricable confusion, paralysis, and civil war.
He sees only ruin to all the great interests
of the country by such a course. He
knows that the Tammany platform leads
and can lead to nothing but this and pre-
ferring peace and prosperity to the success
of any party, he manfully tears himself
from his party trammels-no small
or easy matter for any man of decided con-
victions, and throws himself into the ranks
of those who viii right gradually what
ever there may be wrong in the present
state Of settlement, and supports Grant
and Coltax as the only possible means of
warding of evils of the gravest character.
None but an independent character could
have written such letter; none but
patriot would We ask the conservatives
of New Orleans and of Louisiana to read it,
and TO think, if they dare to think, and
then to act, if they dare to act, as duty,
patriotism, aud interest demand that they
should act.
Mr. Weston is representative man. He
is the type of very large class of the
noblest and best men in the United States.
He is in the same category with Chief JUS
tice Pearson, of North Carolina, whose calm
aud lofty appeal we have already publish
ed; with Hon. P. H. Sibley, of California;
with Judge Alexander Rives, of Virginia;
with Hon. Joshua Hill, and Ex-Governor
James johnson, of Georgia, and numbers
Of others in every State of the Union who
view with uneasiness, if not alarm, the
present condition of our country, and see
out one way by which ii can escape the
evils that environ it. They see, in the
graphic language of Mr.. Weston, that the
lag with which Frank Blair and his associ-
,iates march at the head of the so-called
Democratic column, "is the black flag of
discord and civil war for the country" in-
Folving every other conceivable horror
hat can afflict the land and curse its inhab-
tants.

HOW THEY Do THINGS IN KENTUoKY.

The pleasant means by which the De-
mocracy in Kentucky have secured large
majority are very forcibly illustrated by a
little Democratic incident that took place
recently. They met in the Louisville Dis
trict to select candidate for Congress.
The secesh, as is the case all over the State,
exclusively controlled the gathering. Auy
one who had favored the Union cause was
tabooed. Thereupon the Federal General
Whitaker gotup and said:
81 here and now denounce and desert your
party. / can not do justice to myself and
the country, and stay with such corrupt par.
ty as you have become here to-day. You men
who have fought in the Southern army come
back here today with the blood boiling In
your veins, to exclude from your councils
me, who fought, and have the charac-
ter OF some bravery, to protect your homes
and tiresides, and who exerted himself
In defense Of the families Of those who had
lett their homes. am here, and intend to
be heard"
General Whitaker was at once "souelch-
ed" with severe blow from bludgeon
over his head, and the convention then pro-
ceeded to nominate for Congress Boyd
