pea The scheme for the annexation OF
San Domingo seems likely to be as em-
barrassing now to the administration as
the possession of n portion Of that coun-

will undoubtedly be afterwards. 1t would
be the salvation OF that beautiful Island,
and its noble but unfortunate inhabl-
t;,nts, to be possessed of ii liberal power
full and stable Government, such as the
United States alone could give them,
but until they can be brought to realize

Mr.. Editor.-A perusal OF your excel

Of liberty to exclaim-that "at last'-we

I may Us in common with many other

the object Of your paper intends not to

The NEW ORLEANS TIMES AND
the NEXT LEGISLATURE.

As usual and therefore expected, the
Times has launched It's thunderbolt, hea-
vily charged with expletives consisting
Of such choice phrases as ''corruptionists,
plots, rings, frauds and venality OF the
last Legislature" against the incoming
one, and after treating the public to n
re-hash of sickly democratic nonsense,
from a democratic standpoint, it at last
takes refuge under the protecting acSis OF
the Governors manifested disgust, and
the exercise of his veto power, to protect
the overbur,lened, oppressed, and tax
ridden community who are to be repre-
sented in the next Legislature, by the: 9
strangers to the people of this State.
Wear glad indeed to hear that the
Times is able to inform us that we shall
be able to count upon the Indispensable
services of the Governor in trying to re-
lieye the State from all those who have
heretofore, or may hereafter "concoct'
or have "concocted," by "rings" or other
wise "to devnstate the public funds, I'M
pose new burdens on the people" and a
10. of other balderdash peculiarly charac-
terestic of the language Of the Times.
Now that the Tines, vouches for the
Governor, and the Metropolitan Police
probably, we respectfully ask that u Of
| fers it's assistance in cleaning out this
Ito the Tines Augean Legislative stable
Uttered we think by the dirt OF many
out of the legislature) and also assist Us
to modify, and repeal all, or any bills tna'
have been passed by the "venahty OF the
last Legislature" for instance the Slansh-
ter house bin, and such like, and then
and not till then will we have any faith Il
the frantic appeals Of the Tines believing
that "whoever is without guilt Ii tn
properone to cast the first stone.
In conclusion we would say to tn
Times that the strangers to the peopl
of this State" should be tried first, ant
Judged afterwards, and as to its ravings

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

An article relative to the Speakership
If the House of Representatives Of the
next General Assembly, appeared in the
ISSUE of the New Orleans Standard OF the
18th inst, in which MIR. Mortimer Carr is
ol.si,ly indicated rs the choice Of that pa
per for speaker.
To us this would have been astonishing
if it had not been for the extraordinary
manner in which that paper has b zen con-
,lucted from its beginning; of this how
ever we will speak more plainly anon.
Our object in this article, is simply to call
the attention of the members eject, to the
Standards choice for Speaker.
Mr. Carr, it will be remembered, was a
representative from the third ward of this
>ity in the last Assembly, and was elected
speaker of that body at its last session;
md without saying anything about the
many blunders he made or the casting
vote he gave in favor OF j. Pmckney
Smith prominent democrat for warrant
clerk against an undou ted Republican
and the total disregard of the pledges he
made many of his friends, we will ask
Il his conduct had been such as to meet
the approval of the people, why he did
not 90 back to his constituents and re-
ceiye their endorsement in the shape Of
reelection, instead Of going to De Soto
Parish, and securing what he claims 70
be an election, by the most Illegal. fraud-
.llent, and outrageous proceeding ever
heard of in this or any other civilized
country The particulars OF which vii

EXPLANATORY.

We re-ret that it should ecome ne
cessnry thus early in our editorial career
to correct false impression, which from
,eit,in quarters, and for Interested pur-
oscs, is sought to be created Ill the
iuinds of many well disposed people,
r ,ainst our paper, to the effect, that we
are about to conduct our journal exclu-
..vcly in the interest of the colored man.
Ne beg once and for al, distinctly and
I'm ,hat;ca!ly to denonnce and repudiate
.ay such inlputation.
We shall strenuoEsly maintain the
10 trincs and principle of that Republi-
ranism from whose hands we have re-
siyed all the rights and privileges We
now possess, and from whose hands We
ho DC t. receive all that remains for us to
rnjoy in common with every other citi-
.cn of our great Commonwealth, and we
ill urge the unity and harmony OF all
r.;,sses in our State If our advocacy OF
.4ual civil and political rights justice,
and fair representation, inure incident
ally more to the advancement OF the IN
terests of the colored man, than some
p,o. lie desire then, We shall be preln.r~u
to claim, that hitherto, those things
which most materially, and most favor
ably affected him, have been the mos'
studiously overlooked and neglected :;
aud We shall glory in our advocacy.
-actrsally, we know of hardly any inter-
est, that under existing circumstances
can be Justly said to exclusively belong
to the colored man. He Is no longer
chattel, and excluded from the pale "'
humanity; he is Incorporated IN the
body polite, and in the Republican pan
ty of this State, he is entitled to and
fairly should occupy no mean position.
If we urge his education, we shall Dut
better qualify him to comprehend, anu
discharge the duties of citizenship. Ii
We clamor for his political elevation We
but secure the adhesion of an unchange-
nble Republican Ii we enrich him, the
State Is benefited by the presence and
the circulation of his wealth.
But We can readily trace the present
aud similar accusations to the mortal
dresd OF that unity Of the several clas-
sss of our people in which 1.-The hand
writing on the wall" becomes so distinct
y visible to those who have no possible
chaoce Of preternsnt,; but through i'm
