new State is talked of. 1t is said that a
movement is in progress in Tennessee and
Mississippi, the object of which is to detach
from Mississippi its northern counties and
either attach them to Tennessee or organize
them into separate State.
The Richmond Whig, after stating that the
negro pressure is the cause of this movement,
remarks that the same principle Of segregation
would lead to change in the structure of the
Commonwealth of Alabama, Florida and Lou
isiana. 1t would result in giving up forever
to the negroes the finest portion of the South
and establishing pure black Commonwealths.

The following are the exact words of the
''pledge" offered by the representatives of the
colorsd race, in the unifeation movement, to
the white citizens who have been endeavoring
to form party composed of the honest men
of both races for the redemption of the State ::
ssWe publicly declare that so soon as the ex-
listing opposition against the enjoyment of our
rights to be admitted, on an equal footing
with other citizens, in places of public amuse-
ment and public resort to receive equal ac-
commodation on public oonveyances, steam
boats, and in public hotels; admission in pub
lie schools and public institutions of learning,
shall have ceased; so soon as our fellow-eiti-
zens will be disposed to divide the govern
mental power equally between the two races
inhabiting our State, that each race may
thus be equally protected, we pledge ourselves
to unite all our influence and our energies with
those of our fellow-eitizens in common move
msnt to reduce taxation to rate correspond
ing to the resources of the country; to inves-
tigate and correct the public debt; to suppress
unnecessary offices; to diminish largely the
high salaries and exorbitant emoluments at
tached to public Office, the useless multiplicity
and extravagant compensation of office being
among the principal causes of the public de-
moralizatinn and disorder; and, III o word, to
secure in Louisiana, as soon as possible, the
establishment of an honest, economic and pa
triotic government"
The N. O. Herald says that this pledge
killed the nnifcation scheme as dead as a
door nail,n and gives the following version of
what that ''pledge" means, and says, too, only
in different words:
"When you white gentlemen will agree to
admit us to your society on equal terms, and
not until then, we will agree to help you to
elect men to office to relieve the State of it's
burdens, to clear it Of rasca1s and plunderers,
and to vote for honest men, on the further
condition that there be an equal number of
the same taken from both classes.
.sWe don't intend, however, to take you on
trust. There must be long and certain pro-
baton. You must sit on tho anxious bench
and give assurance of the sincerity of your
penitence and reformation before you are ad-
mitted into the fold of the faithful"
