After discussion of various questions Com
reported the following which
were adopted.
Whereas, intemperance is acknowledged to
be the greatest evil which now curses our
common country, extending, as il does to all
ranks and classes of Society, while happy fire
sides are laid waste by It's destructive and de-
morallzlng influences, even reaching the Judge
upon the bench and the minister of God in the
pulpit, therefore,
Res0eyed the the united and uutiring efforts
Of the members of this Convention and Of our
Order should be continually exelted and put
forth in retaining the fallen and eIevating
them to q membership and standing in our
noble Order to the end that they may be
saved from the drunkards fate.
BeS0yged, That we are deeply panied at the
general apparent indifference nd want of in
Lerest manifested by the 81 q reference to
the duty of identifying a. 44Iselyes with our
organization and cast their influence infavor
OF the great and heaven born principles which
underlie our Order as Good Templars
ReSoiUea, That we hereby tender to the
clergy OF all denominations Cur earnest and
cordial invitation to identify themselves with
the Order of Good IemplaTs in every locality
thr onghout our country and our State, thus
uniting the influence of the pulpit with us in
driving intemperance from our land
ReS0lged, That the Convention recommended
the organization of a Convention in every
County Of the State where two or more LODI
ges OF Good Templars are in working order,
las the best means Of promoting harmony and
unity of action in our good work.
besolyed, that in the inebriate, we recog-
nize a man and brother, and that to reclaim
him from his degradation and restore him to
family and friends, is an object worthy the
best efforts OF all right minded men.
-ReS0lped, that we are PANIED to learn OF
an attempt 10 break up Salem Lodge No. 164,
| by some of its members, and that We recon.
| mend that a committee be appointed to visit
| the Lodge for the purpose ofrecOnciling such
! differences as may be found to exist in c.Ise
| the G. VIC. T. is not able to visit in person

Whereas God in his Providence has seen fit
TO remove from our midst by the hand OF
Death our beloved brother L. w. Pike, since
last we met in Convention, Therefore,
Reso5Ued, That in the death Of brother Pike
we have lost an earnest faithful laborer in
our cause, and suffering humanity true
friend and sympathizer,
ReSol9ed, that while we deeply mourn his
loss, we will endeayor to bow in resignation
to the will of Him who doeth all things well, .
Reso10eds that we extend our sympathy TO
the bereayed relations and friends and TO Cy-
press Lodge, which has heen thus deprived OF
an active and efficient member,
ReSo50ed, that a copy of these resolutions be
presented TO the relatives OF the deceased.

THE RAN1E PLAST.-We have received
from Mr.. A. B. Bacon, Chairman Section
of Agriculture, New Orleans Academy of
Sciences, and Associate Editor of the N. O.
Picayune, a pamphlet treating "of the Ra-
mic, the new textile plant of Southern cul.
t~ivation, described as to its origin, uses,
mode of propagation, cultivation, preparing
for market, value, soil and climate in which
it flour1shes. etc, with a description of the
Hoezl Machine for cleaning ram;e, hemp,
okra, hop, ETC." Much has been said recent
ly in the City and country papers of this
plant; but for an accurate account we adj
wise our readers to get from Mr.. Bacon a
copy Of the pamphlet, which can be had for
fifty cents. The fibre of this plant sold in
the London market the past year at 60 cents
per pound our soil will produce as much
of it per acre as of cotton it is perennial
and need not be planted but once; it is
more hardy plant than cotton, less liable to
be destroyed by worms, or fail in a bad sea-
son. Its leaves make excellent forage for
cattle. The machine for cleaning and pre-
pairing it for market, can be purchased in
New Orleans fer two hundred and fifty dol
lars. We hope some of the planters of orr
will give this plant a trial ; from the
evidence furnished in the pamphlet, it bids
fair to become not only-a substitute for cot
tor but q source of great agricultural pros

1ngamong other things that 'cvcry..perSon of
the age of twenty-five and UPWARDS, pos
sess'ng property, or having resided two
years IN the colony: and paid taxes, should
be permitted to vote in the formation of
the Colonial Assembly," There was no
doubt among the friends of the ~tolonists
IN the National Assembly that the phraze
"cVery person" here meant only whitc per-
sens. The trainers and supporters Of the
measure pretended that it related only to
the privilege of voting in the parochial
meetings, which it was we'll knowa had
always been condu, ted eXclus ,vely by the
Whites. The mulattoe> hal never even
attended these meetings, or expressed a
desire to participate in them. No sooner,
however, had these Instructions of the Ma
t1onal Assembly been converted into a de
cree than their ~iancicS and supporters throw

st. Domingo that the mulattocs not being
expressly excluded were virtually com.

a tool to raise them to political positions.
For this act of independence the Tribune
has been deprived Of Federal patronage,
WHICH is an ~indisputab'e proof that it was
correct in thinking that the negro was to
be a mere tool for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
Congress and its carpct-bag m;sSionaries in
the Southern States. We hope the cclored
people of our Parish, rs equal rights and no
distinctions is their motto, will follow the
the 7ribune's example. They are bound
to live, and prosper or suffer with the white
people of Il e South and everything they
do politically in opposition to the whites
will eventually react on themselves. |! by
their political conduct, they take away aud
destroy the natural rights and property OF
the whites, they will make q precedent that
may be followed in turn by the latter, when
they shall, as they Surely will, be rc-eStab
lished in full political power. Their mate.
rial interests being the same, both policy
and reason dictate that tie two races ShoulI
unite against what is really a common Pc
litical enemy.
