No ordinary consideration should
deter the Republicans Of Louisiana
from a resolute and combined effort to
secure signal victory e the approach
ing election. In the new constitution
soon to be offered for our acceptance
thers may be Objectionable features; on
the state ticket presented for our suf-
frage, there may be candidates who are
not our personal choice; yet these are
minor considerations compared to the
speedy reorganization Of our state and
its readmission into the Union. The
early settlement Of the question Of re-
construction is the paramount question
of the hour. Every other fades into
nothingness before If. Personal pre-
ferenees are not to be mentioned in
connection Herewith, side issues are
to be disregarded, party prejudicsa are
to be laid aside, and Louisiana mast
be carried into the Union ere the beau
ties Of spring expand INTO the gIories Of
summer. The great principle Of the
new constitution is correct, whatever
may be its minor defects; he plat

for the purpose Of raising the neces-
sary funds. She made her wants
known to the mission boards, and asked
for assistance, but none Of them
seemed inclined to aid; and while the
boards were discussing the question,
she, with true woman's energy, went
to work and raised three thousand dol
lars. with which amount she returned
to Brownsville and built q large and
commodious academy. While in this
country she made arrangements with
the Bible and Tract society to furnish
her books for distribution among the
Mexicans, aud through her representa-
tons the Methodist Church South was
induced to send the first minister into
this new field. The limited space in
our paper prevents US from following
in detail the labors of this noble Chris
tian women. She continued her labors
at Brownsville till 1862, when she was
driven out Of Texas because of her
love for the old flag under which she
was born, and her school was confs-
Gated by the rebels.
Miss Rankin then went into Mexico,
and finally decided on beginning opera
tions at Monterey. The Liberals of
Mexico openly espoused her cause,
and although not inclined to be relig-
ious, still their opposition to the Rom
ish church secured to her their CO.
operation. Through all these years,
it is needless to add, persecution fol-
lowed this lady. Yet at no time did
she finch from duty or yield an iota
to the papal power.
At Monterey Miss Rankin has
founded another academy, the money
($I5,00O) being furnished by E. D.
Goodrich, of Boston. Her old school
at Brownsville is now in charge of a
minister, under the direction of the
mission board.
In connection with her labors as a
teacher she has done a vast missionary
work in circulating the scriptures and
in preparing native Mexicans for the
same labor. Miss Rankin is now in
this country to raise funds for the sup
port Of missionaries, and at several
places where she has appealed for help
she has met with generous response.
This world does not often produce
such earnest, devoted women as Miss
Rankin. When her appeals to the mis-
sion boards were in vain, she nobly re-
solved to begin the work she had so
much at heart; and in after years, when
the history of the evangelization of
Mexico shall have been written, then,
and not till then, will the world learn
what was done by the perseverance of
one earnest Christian woman.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-02-09

Soon after the close Of the war be-
tween the United States and Mexico
an earnest and devoted Christian
woman, a native Of New Hampshire,
felt the necessity of making move
toward the introduction of the Protest
ant religion into priest-ridden Mexico.
Through the religious papers she made
strong appeals to the churches of this
country to send out missionaries, but
her appeals were NOT needed. So
powerful was the impression upon her
THAT then was the time for action that
she could not resist it, and finding that
all efforts to secure the cooperation
Of amy ofthe missionary societies, she
determined on going herself to the
field and devoting her talents and
energies to the great work of evangsl-
ization.
IAIS52 Miss Rankin left this country
for Mexico. Arriving at Brownsville,
| in Texas, she felt that there she could
begin her work, and thus be enabled to
reach the Mexicans without mourning
the risk Of going into country where
Protestant missionaries had never yet
preached the true gospel. AtBrowns-
willie she found that the people were
willing to have their children taught,
and Miss Rankin, believing that she
could better reach the hearts Of the
parents Though the children, opened

General Hancock.

The sudden termination of the pro-
ceedings of the committee appointed
to investigate the Street Commissioners
Department by Major General Han
cock is in itself most extraordinary
proceeding. The investigation was not
completed, and was abruptly closed at
time when the public interest de-
manded thatitshould proceed. Whether
Mr.. Baker is guilty or not, great injus-
tice is done him, and the honorable
gentlemen of the committee are most
grossly iusulted. Who is the military
tyrant nowl But such tyranny is
mighty pleasing to JOhnson's friends.

FROM the New Orlshnn Advocate.
The Present Phase Of the Contest,


II may not be nmiss to call the at
tention Of our readers Of all shades Of
opinion to a few questions which in
the heat of local excitement and
riyalries may naturally have been
overlooked. These are
First: Not whether one party or
the other shall be successful in the
Southern states, but whether these
states lately in rebellion shall resume
or not resume their civil organizations
and their places in the national legis-
lature and their status as states in the
Union, or remain in their present
anomalous and demoralizing condition
for another Ave years.
Second: Not whether those lately
in rebellion in tho South can by an
alliance with those lately in sympathy
with that rebellion in the North
secure once more political dominance
and control in the South and of the
whole country, but whether as people
they are willing to accept of really
republican and free government, &C
cording to all men the same rig hts and
privileges which they enjoy them
selves, or prefer to remain for an in
definite period in a condition of vas
salage and subsection.
Third: Not whether they will have
tho Democratic or the Republican
party to rule in the reorganization of
these states, but whether they will
take part with the Republican
party in the government of these
states for the next four years,
or be governed by their military
officials without participation. These
are the questions. Defeat the con-
stitution, or defeat the organization of
a state government by throwing the
elections into the hands of men who
will not be recognized by congress; do
either one or both of these things, and
you simply postpone for five years
more the reconstruction of the South,
and remit the affairs here to chaos gem
orally. Cast your eyes over the cleo
ton returns of tho Union, and scan
that solid phalanx of votes in favor of
the Republican party; take into ao-
count those who stayed at home atthe
last state elections, which the Demo
Gratis claim as victories, and then let
each one ask his own calm and con-
sidorate judgement whether the people
Of the North will ever consent tOa
reconstruction except on the substan-
tial terms of the reconstruction acts.
We hold that they will not; and that
the defeat of the constitutions now
forming and the Republican state
tickets in the field viii only have the
effect of indefinitely postponing the
revival of the commercial, agricul-
tural, and all the material interests Of
the South. We therefore gay to our
your true course as business
men, as practical men, as patriotic
men, is to support the ratification of
the constitution and the election of the
state officers nominated by the Repub-
lican party.
