platform seems io'hnyc sprung from a deln-
sion. II seems to have been promulgated un-
der the erroneous impression that the alleged
hostility Of the Southern whites TO the negro
was the real cause of the Administration S
wrath. This is certainly mistake. The al
! legged prejudice is merely pretcxt which the
| Administration has used for its cruel oppres-
sion; and the resolutions viii by no means
appeasc the angry god Of discord at Washing
ton. II is the cohesive power of plunder'
that forms the combination against the people
of Louisiana, and that cohesive power will
hardly be broken by any set of resolutions
that can be adopted. The State, If free from
the bayonels of the Federal Government,
could get rid Of the robbers that are preying
on her vitals and until she gets rid of these
bayone,s she cannot get rid Of the robbers
All concessions 10 lawlcss power only stimu-
late new exactions. Civility to bully en-
boldens him. The Administration has NO
bowels Of compassion, and it is not going to
unfetter the limbs OF State merely upon the
promises Of platform. lis nalignity is too
deep for that. II has gotten the taste of blood,
and the life of the victim is gone unless the
public sentiment Of the North chokes it off -
Compromises with oppression are idle and fu.
tile. AS well try 10 hold tiger by the tooth
or raging lion by the paw as attempt to sub
due tyranny by concession.
After all it is the Gen. Beanregard of South
ern fame, who is the author of the new party
movement in Louisiana, but the change in his
opinions did not arise from the fact that the
administration of the government is such rs to
meet his approval, but exactly the contrary.
The fact is affairs in Louisiana are in such n
deporable state, owing to the vampires that
are sucking the life-blood of the people, that
this party is being formed TO wrest the State
though it be backed by the President. Gen.
Beaurcgard, in bis address, says bis object
was, by s'franK and cordial concession OF
practical civil as well as political equality be-
tween all citizens, without discrimination on
account OF race and color" to secure the re-
generation of the State. He thinks that the
experiment of selfgovernment on the basis OF
impartial suffrage demands fair trial, and so
long as the white people assume n position an
tagonistic to the colored men and thus drive
them into opposition, if harm results, the
blame is not due to the system, but TO the
white people themselves Gen. Beauregard
laments that the State has fallen under the
control ofartful and selfish adventures, who
have obtained their power through the divis-
ion of the two races. Abiding to the unfor-
tunate situation of affairs, he says: "In our
distracted condition, after the elections of
last November, we appealed in VAN TO Con-
gross for relief the Administration has, more
over, thrown its powerful influence on the
side of our corrupt, usurping State govern
ment, and we can evidently hope for no assis-
lance from our sister States. We must, there
fore, look only to ourselves for salvation,
which can only be secured by making a firm
alliance with all classes Of our population TO
rid us Of those vampires who are sucking the
very life-blood of our people, whites and
blacksn
Pic-NIc.-A grand picnic was held at the
new Camp-meeting ground, near Gathers
burg, on the 4th of July. A large crowd from
Washington and the adjacent country was
present, aud the ground was formally dedica-
ted to the purpose for which it was designed
by the purchasers, By appropriate religious
services. After partaking of their lunch and
the delivery of several addresses, the directors
proceeded to select route for the railroad
switch by which passengers are to be conveyed
to the camp-ground. This DONE subscriptions
were then opened to all, of whatever religious
persuasion, to take stock, and q number of
shares were subscribed The enterprise may
now be regarded as a success The time for
holding the first camp-mceting has been def
nitely fixed for the 18th Of August, to cen
tinue ten days, and preparations are being
made accordingly.
New BUSINESS HousE.-Mr. j. Hileary b.
gley is about to open House in Rockville for
the sale Of Fertilizers, Seeds, Agricultural In
plements, and Building Materials, which will
meet the demands Of the farmer 10 dot. Such
a House is much needed here, and we think
will be extensively patronized, and Mr.. Bogley
is the very man to do the business. His large
acquaintance and popularity with the people
will, we are assured, gain for him an extern
siye patronage. See advertisement.

mum during the resignation of Mr.. C, and al
night there has been good deal of bad sing

annoyance Of quiet people. We hope Mr. Con-
nell will see TO it that we have better music OIL
