and abundant, and health and hnppi-
ness within the grasp of every man
who has the energy TO search FOR and
make them his own. Oar own people
should relent their selfish grasp, and
communicate to their suffering friends
and relatives these filcts. They should
| throw open wider the portals through
which immigration must pass, and
with "strong pull, long pull, and a
pull all together,p make one united
and combined effort to elevate to the
pinnacle of attraction the magniti-
cence with which our State abounds.

| THE following Is an extract of let
ter received by us from n member of
McEnery's Legislature, u true, tried
and trrsty Democrat, and we presume
may be correctly regarded as reflex
of the feelings of the people of New
Orleans touching General Beauregard's
uniGcation meeting held recently In
the city of New Orleans, and in which
some fifty white and an equal number
of colored cltlzens participated. 1t
will be remembered that all the Or
thodox tenets of Radicalism was in
doctrinated into the unification Of the
two races, as considered by General
Beauregard and his yielding associates
| in the meeting:
"You ask me how the soH distant
social equality uniiicatiop movement
| Is progressing here. My answer Is not
! at all. Many of those who were foolish
| enough to embark into this unh0ly sur
render of our race, and their manhood,
are already ashamed of themselves,
and will gladly rctracc their footsteps.
| There are not two hundred voters in
the whole of this city who approve OF
The platform OF principles enunciated
with so much gaisto by the committee
composed of fifty colored, and fifty
plain citizens, The name OF General
| Beaurcgard (noted for his idiosyncra-
! sizes, and the subsequent letter of his
Grace, Archbishop Perche, has given to

huential eitizens, Il ptoAihence II docs

it does not merit, IJonislaninns are
not yet so iebased as to follow the
unworthy example of one who, though
great as general in the field, possesses
no ability as a statesman; q fact nni-
versullY known and conceded. AS to
my own position, and those with whom
have heretofore and still am acting,
am proud to say we ago 1lpst-diteh
| Democrats We support Gov.
McIInery because we firmly believe
that he was legally and fairly elected;
and we do not intend TO "bend the
supple hinges of the knee, that thrift
may follow fawning." Kellogg has
ondeavored in evelS conceivable man
t'ner to win us over to his support, but
to 10 purpose. To those of US retained
by his hngus hoard OF Gan gasseia as
members qf his Legislature, he and his
friends have offered to give us the po-
litical patronage of our respective dis
tricts, pass measures OF reform, reduce
taxation, repeal all laws creating OBJ
iectionable mopopolies, If we would
only consent to recognize his govern
ment and take our seats in his Legisla-
ture--all of which we have persistent
ly refused. His friends have cp.ne 20
| liz with petitions addressed to him as
| Governor, asking our signaturesrecom-
| Inending them for appointments to Of
|
| this way. Again we have been urged
to go and draw our mileage and per
diem, but we have unanimously re-
sand dollars in his State treasury,
wrdng by threats and fotne from Inc
Taxpayers of this State to pay the
milage and per diem OF the Fusion
members Of the House and Senate,

| concede. We do not intend to rccog-
nize him az Governor of this state un-
til Congress decides the case against us
and forces us to do SO. For myself,
have very little faith in the Radical
Congress. They are all known IL be
suhsarvient to Grant, nnd he has al
rendy committed himself unequiyoeal-
| ly to the support OF Kellogg. Thank
| God there is a rift in the black cloud
| which has SO long hung over this land
and the sunshine of speedy deliver
ance appears in the Western horizon.
tTba R,liaal party has retained power
at the North by appealing. to the pas
sions and prejudices engendered by the
war-the fears of new rebellion, mas
sacrcs, Ku-klux, cruelty to the freed
men, and ostraoism of Northern men
in social life at the South has been the
burden of their song. At the south
they have captured the negro vote by
making them believe that if the DEM
ocrats got in power they would again
enslave them, crack the overseer's
whip over their backs and strip them
of all their newly acquired rights, and
privileges, While this song has been
sung with the desired etibot upon the
hustings by every canting Radical hyp-
ocrite from Maine to Texas for the
past eight years, another play has been
going on behind the scenes which has
at last been discovered. Every Radi-
cal office-holder from Grant down
to the lowest constable in q country Will
oce, has been running the machine for
4 his individual benefit to such an extent
that the United States may now Justly
call herself the paradise of official
: thieves. Grant, the great gift-taker,
