that little Lolita has recovered her

for Lolita to be a bondholder than to
be held in bonds matrimonial or

Years one time FIVE: a restless head

Where the shadows lie, where the golden bar
Of sunshine pierces the notified grass,
Tripping feet that rustic and pass

Years one time five: that have curved the lips
And tinted the rosy finger tips
That touch the bosom and seal the eyes
OF the mother looking with glad surprise
On the heaven revealed in the glowing lace
OF her chhd-sure crown of the mothers grace
Soft, round arms that come stealing up
To her neck like the laden cup
OF white feld-illies the dropping head
Goes down on her breast; the laughter ted
From the swimming eyes whose shine is hid
BY the fall of the sleepy, blue vened lid
With numberless kisses every place.
Again and again the mothers face,

On mouth and eyes, cheek. chin and breast

Yet warm and rosy and alive

The Taiiaferro secession ticket has
proved to be what we have characterized
it from the frst-a rebel movement. At
first it was carefully disguised, buC now the
renegades and the rebels have stricken hands
in public and thrown away the mask. The
plans of this new confederacy are plain, for
the journals of Camp street announce their
purpose. They are "to defeat congress
sional dictation," says one. They are "to
prevent alien interference in orr affairs. y
They are to brand with infamy, if possible,
every man who has worn the glorious uni
form of the United States. They are to
"make loyalty odious" They are to defeat
the regular Republican state ticket, and
thus break up the party. They are to take
possession of Taliaferro as they formerly
took possession of Andrew Johnson; seize
the administration Of the state, and
then, in cooperation with their Democratic
allies in the North, endeavor to have the
right Of franchise taken away from the
colored man and the rebel rule re-estab-
lshed.
1t is the last struggle of a desperate
faction, and for the contamination of their
plans every expedient of fattery, of bri-
berry, of deception, and of fraud, will be
freely used. Republicans of Louisiana,
beware of their wiles. Remember that the
homes of our state in the future hang unnn
the unity of our party. United, we stand,
endure, and control the destinies of Louisi-
ana in favor Of Justice and equal rights.
Divided, we fall; and, with our fall, the
rule of our enemies begins-the rule of
the old slave power, which will crush out
loyalty, disfranchise the eOlored man, and
lay upon us again the iron hand of rebel

HON. SETH W, LEWIS,

Mr. Lewis, the Republican candidate for
Mayor of New Orleans, is native Of
Louisiana. Thirty-fve years Of age, ex-
perienced in business, gentleman Of
unblemished private character, his quail
fcations for the office are IN
doubted. He has been an earnest
worker in the cause of equal rights
from the earliest history of the Republican
party in Louisiana, and deserves, and will
receive an earnest support in the coming
contest, and with proper effort can not fail
of an election. He is emphatically the
wOrkingmans candidate, the representa-
tive of the masses of the Republican party,
and will receive their undivided support.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-12

Its Importance to the welfare of the
state of Louisiana is such that no Repub-
lican can hesitate to express his opinion at
the polls by voting for the ratification Of
the constitution. Though there is ma
jority of at least forty thousand Repub-
licans in this state, yet every vote should
be given for the constitution, in order that
future opposition to the liberal policy Of
the Republican party may be discouraged.
Adopt the constitution and we are secure
against the hostile efforts of our opponents
to prevent the enfranchisement of all loyal
men in Louisiana. Each one of our readers
should determine to vote fer the constitu.
ton and urge his friends to do so also.
Vote for the constitution and its adoption
is certain.

ORLEANS PARISH AND TIE CITY.

The Republican ticket for the parish of
Orleans and the city of New Orleans should
receive the earnest attention and support
of every member Of the party. We are
sure to carry the state-we are equally
certain of carrying the parish and city if
We put forth the proper exertions. To
this end we must work 1t would be lam
entable indeed if the city of New Orleans
should be RENTED to the rule of the Know
Nothings and thugs, the dead beats" and
political hacks" who have made up the
so-called Democratic ticket. Remember
the dark days when Monroe was Mayor,
and Abel sat on the bench, and work ear
nestly to consign such people to oblivion.
