exhibitions OF partisan hatred, would
naturally dispose the fedora! government
| 70 look with GOODNESS upou the suffering
! interests Of Louisiana. were il not for the
influence and intervention Of the very
! men OF whom the Picayune speaks with
| such contempt. 4 ''yenal Congress"
| President "the most insepsible Of man
kind to moral Influences" a public con-
vention only fit for contempt. Upon
what has Louisiana to rely? Plainly, a
press and party believed TO have insti-
gated opposition to law. riot. massacre
and assassination. These are not our
charges; they are the publ: belief, and
this body of citizens now in convention
are SO thoroughly convinced of the truth
of this belief that they couple the out
rage in Cuba with that at Colfax, and
send deputation to Washington to ask
the vindication Of the national homo.
from the equal shame Of each.
Our contemporary of the Tines. with
out due thought. supposes the visi: of the
Senate Transportation Committee well
postponed, to allow our merchants time
to prepare their replies TO committee
questions. These replies have been pre-
pared tor many years. as was stated by
Senator Pinchback in his observations
upon tina: subject. The failure Of the
committees 20 examine the point upon
which all interior navigation depends is
greatly to be deplored. But there is a
reason why this failure may be borne
with some philosophy. /: is because its
members would have been met with
wholesale charge Of venalty against the
body to which they belong. The Chief
Magistrate whom they aided to elect. and
whom they delight TO support, is charged
with utter insensibility to oil moral in.
tuences, and the citizens for whose eman.
cipation they are in part responsible writ
ten OF and published as little better than
savaces. When the people Of Louisiana
come to comprehend that the regard
shown to its interests by the federal gov.
eminent has consisted in sending troops
to repress its disturbances. they will be- |
come convinced that reckless and vim. |
dictive rarity press has had great deal |
to do with its present neglected and |
depllrabie condition.

A RErORMAT.

1t is more pleasant teraise than to

prejudices. Accordingly hail the i'm

port 70 the State. Memh Of that con-
ven.ion heretofore continuously alluded
to as ''saddle-colored gld-be politi.
clans" ''yellow fellows by some in.
solent soubriquet. are rectfully men,
toned by name. spoken as men and
citizens whose arguments d statements
are entitled TO considersn. We hail
this reform. We have b, leading the
advance in the march Of press SO long,
have been sneeyed at q abused for
recognizing the civil and ,litical rights
Of our colored fellow.ciens, that we
find it pleasant, on Northumberland. to
see the stone fingers fro the roadside
falling into rank and swing the main
body OF our army. Such ,guage as the
following, for instance. ustby the Tines
in reference TO Senator fchback, is an
indication Of a very decid. reformation.
viz: THAT portion Of NJ Pinchback's
speech to the colored con,tion devoted
to our commercial atairindicates an
intelligent understanding, the subject
as gratifying az j. was rhaps unex-
pected." 'Le. but the cred people Of
the South follow in letternd spirit the
precepts Of this acknoedged chief

from the seornful languagormerly used

In the course Of this manifesto Con-
gress is called "a partisan and venal'
body. the President 'the mos: insensible
Of mankind to moral Influences" and
stigmatized as having at last ratified Ibis
corrupt bargain.
The moral of this last article is. we may
remark, that rs the Picoytne is the only
honest journal in the city ''devo:ed to the
interests Of the 1eople.' therefore it
should be furnished with money TO pay
the salaries OF those who direct its col
umns. We may add TO these empty and
irresponsible imputations upon the gov.
ernmen. Of the United States, q SYSTEM
attic abuse of the State administration.
and an unfeeline attempt to ridicule the

social and politica! capacity. We have
heretofore commented on the contempt
rous pe.version to which the proceedings
Of the convention Of eo!ored people has
been subjected. No well organized Jour-
nal would tolerate :. repor: of popular

would pay composition upon an unfeeling
