A NEW POLITICAL PARTY-THEIR
PLATFORM.

cal parties, through representative
men from both sides, in New Orlean
a few days since, gave birth to a new
platform, from which we make tn,
following extracts. Associated il
this new movement are the name
General Beauregard, |. n. Marks, j
III. kennard and Capt Fenncr, to
gether with Antoine, Burcb, Rounda
nez and Kelso, who unite is asserting
the doctrine Of "the right of every
citizen of Louisiana and of every citi
zen Of the United States to frequent
at will all places of public resort, and
to travel at will on all vehicles Of
public conveyance upon terms of per.
feet eqaulity with any and every citi.
zen." This new platform says:
!. We shall recommend to the pro-
prietors of all places of licensed pub
lie resort in the State of Louisiana
the opening of said places to the pat
ronage of both races inhabiting our
State.
9. And we shall further recon-.
mend that all railroads, steamboats,.
steamships and other public convey
ances pursue the same policy.
3. We shall further recommend
that our banks, insurance offices and
other public corporations recognize
and concede to our colored fellow cit
liens where they are stock holders in
such institutions, the right of being
represented in the direction thereof.
4. We shall further recommend that
hereafter no distinction shall exist
among citizens of Louisiana in any of
our public schools or state institu-
tons of education, or in any other
public institution supported by the
state, city or parishes.
5. We shall also recommend that
tie proprietors of all boundaries, fac
tories and other Industrious establish
ments, in employing mechanics or
workmen, make no distinction be-
tween the two races.
6. We shall encourage by every
means in our power our colored citi-
zens in the rural districts to become
the proprietors Of the soil, thus en-.
hancing the value oflands and adding
to the productivcness of the state.
while it will create a political conser.
Tatism which is the offspring of pro-
prietorship; and we further recon.
mend to all landed proprietors in our |
state the policy of considering the
question of breaking up the same in
% small farms, in order that the COL |
'red citizens and white emigrants
nay become practical farmers and
'ultivators of the soil.
We have not space for the entire
PLATFORM adopted by the prime NOV.
rs in the above new party, and only
i've few of the strongest points,
The movement is made by some of
he leading white and colored citizens
f the State uniting.-s Their great
bject seems to be, to bring about
'utual feeling of confidence and good
I'LL between the two races, to lay
side all party ties and prejudices
hich may hinder the political unity
whites and blacks. The motives
this new movement are no
'ubt good, and We shall patiently
atch its progress and await the re-
lit.

The Farmers Oranges,

The farmers Of the West Ia their new
movements have called their associations
"Grangea." It is very expressive, but
more of I'm English than American
word. II comes from grdanm, grain,
and its primary Specification is probably
that of a granary. It's broader meaning
is fartn house aud its out.buildings
Some illustration will show these two
meanings. From the "Song of the
Sower," SO exquisitely illustrated by the
Applctons, we have.
And from The distant grange there comes

THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

When the task and the lessons are ended,
And the schools for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed;
Oh! the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace;
oh ! the smiles that are halos of Heaven,
Shedding sunshine Of love on my facet
Oh my heart grows as weak as woman's,
And the fount of my feelings will flow,
When think Of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must 10;
or the mountain of sin hanging Ger them
Ofthe tempests of Fate blowing wild,
For there's nothing on earth half so holy
AS the innocent heart cf child!
They are idols Of heart and of households,
They are angels of God in Disguise,
His sunlight still sleeps in their trcsses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyesi
Oh those truants from home and from
Heaven,
They hare made me more manly and mind
And know, now, how Jesus could likcn
The kingdom Of God to q child.
L ask not life for the dear ones
All radiant a. others have done,
But that life may have just enough sh ad ow
TO temper the glare of the sun;
l would pray God to guard them from evil.
But my prayers would bound back to my
self;
All +! scrnph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The iwig is so easily bonded,
huve bnnisheI the rule and the rod;
l have taught them the goodness of knowl-
edge.
They have taught inc the goodness of
God;
My heart is dungeon Of da rkncss,
Where l shut them for breaking rule,
My frewn is sufficient corruption,
My love is the law Of school.
I shall leave the old house in the auttimh.
To traverse It's threshold no more;
All how shall sigh for the dear pnss
Thnrms ne each morn at the door
I shall miss the ..good nights" and the
kisses.
And the gush Of their innocent glee
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me.
s. ell miss them at morn and at even
Their song in The school and the street;
shall miss tho low hum of rheir voices,
And the tramp Of tn cir Pattering feet.
when the lessons of life are all ended,
And Death says, "The school Is dismissed!'
May the little ones gather around ME,
Tp bid me goodnight and be KISSED
