Resolved, That while this meeting appreciate

that everything should DO done to restore 1t

preston OF the sentiment of the character, m

Therefore, under all the circumstances OF the

EUu,slIfy i'm Louisiana.

A meeting of white and coorcd citizens of
New Orleans was held last night, when
Gen. Beaurcgard, chairman Of committee,
presented series OF resolutions, which pledged
the meeting to the unilcltion OF the people Of
the State, without regard to race, color or re-
ligion; advocating the right Of all to frequent at
will all places Of public resort and to travel at
will on all public vehicles upon terms Of per-
feet equality; to recommend that in banks and
other corporations where colorcl people hold
stock, they be represented in the direction
thereof, nor shall any distinction exist in the
public schools or State institutions Of education,
or other place Of public instruction. The rcso-
lutions further recommend that proprlctors of
foun,lrics factories, and other industrial esIab
lishmcnts, make no distinction between the two
races in employing mechanics, and the commit
tee promise to use their influence with the
colored citizens Of the rural districts to h:eomc
prOpriet0rs OF the soil thus enhancing the value
Of lands and aiding to the production of the
State. This, it is believed, will create political
conservation, which is the offspring OF pluprIc
t.,rship To accomplish this it is recommend
ed to the large landed proprieturs to break up
their lands into small farms, that the colorcd
citizens and white Immigrants may become cul-
tivators of the soil. The committee pledge
themselves, by moral influence, advice and cx
ample, to bring about the rapid removal OF all
the preiudiccs heretofore existing against the
colored citizens of the State, that they may en-
joy all the rights belonging to citizens of the
United States. They call upon the press of
the State to cooperate with them in executing
the movement of unity. They condemn all
acts ofviolcncc, and appeal to all the people to
abide by the laws in all their differences, and
advocate an equal distribution Of offices Of trust
and emolument in the State, demanding, as
the only condition Of suffrage, honesty, dill
onnce and ability.

tailed upon us by the war, and now we arc hap

interest in the improvement oi our town. Now,
gentleman, consider how people will talk about
you elsewhere II you cannoL do good your
selves, do not fret and tnnG because your lr-
low townsmcn are trying To improve your city
for you, but grin and bear it like men. Our
market is over stocked with those who throw
cold wafer on all new projects that are inaugu-
rated. Mr.. Mink seems to be Il gentleman who
will do all in his power to please all. The most
of the complaints Of the obstruction to travel
come from those who do not live on King
street. The only way to put Il stop to the work
is for the Court TO lay an injunction on The con
tractor and President Ut the road, and those
who apply for the I'M junction must deposit $lO,-
600 to pay the damages in case the suit goes
against them Now there is as much chance Of
its not raining us there is Oft raining and flood

actions, for the sake Of the majority Of your

ridiculous in the eyes Of our fellow country
men. About twenty-five or thirty Alcxandrians
