the proprjctors of the soil, thus enhanc-
ing the value of lands, and adding to
to the productiveness of the State, while
it Will create Il political conversation,
which is the offspring Of proprietorship;
and we further recommend to all land
proprietors in our State the policy ofcon-
sidering tho question OF breaking up the
Same into small farms, in order that
our colorcd citizens and white immi-
grants may become practical farmers
and cuitivators of the soil.
z. That we pledge our honor and
good faith to exercise our moral intlu-
ence, both through personal advice and
personal example, to bring about the
rapid removal of all prejudtcies hereto
fore existing against the colored citizens
OF Louisiana, in order that they may
hereafter enjoy all the rights belonging
to the citizens of the United States.
| s. Be it further resolved, That we
earnestly appeal to the press of this
State to join and cooperate with US
in erecting this monument Of unity,
forever bury beneath it all past prejudi-
ces on the subject of race or color.
8. Resolved, That we deprecate and
thoroughly condemn all acts Of violence
from whatever source, and appeal to
our people Of both races to abide by the
law in all their differences as the surest
way to preserve to all the blessings OF
life, liberty and prosperity.
10. Resolved, That we pledge our
selcs to the cultivation of broad sem

the flag of the Union.
II. Resolved, That as an earnest OF

: ties and all prejudices OF education
which may tend to hinder the political
unity Of our people.
~. That i'll view Of the numerical
equality between the white and color
ed elements of our population we shall
advocate an equal distribution Of the
Offices of trust and emolument in the
, State, demanding as the only condition
Of our suffrage honesty, diligence and
ability; and we advocate this not
because Of the offices themselves, but
, simply as another earnest and proof
upon our part that the union we desire
is an equal union, and not an Elusive
onjunction, brought about for tho sole
benefit of one or the other of the parties
to that union.

SANS GLOVES, SANS CORSETS.

Tho N CIV York correspondent Of the
st. Louis Republican discourseth on
the new French modes
Tho latest French-made dresses are
dresses no more; they arc mere tlrapings
with the fearfully low necl1s, absence
OF all sleeves, strap going over the
naked shoulder, joining at the small of
the back and the pit of the stomach.-
The skirt is strangely and wonderfully
hung. It caps and folds it is caught
high at the hip, or in the back, and is
shaped tightly about tho entire figure.
From beneath this drapery streams out
tWO-yard train. Outdoor costumes
are made, as far as the drapery it con-
cerned, i'll the same style.
These fashions demand revolving pc
dcstals, and what dancers term the
"slow movement" No dress of this
kind could be taken on its owners
back in hurry anywhere. OF course
corseti and good many other articles
OF underwear hitherto deemed indis-
pensabic, will have to be taken off for
the tsEmpire' waist. At a very swell
wedding reception lately the higi1-toned
bellies held their arms like trlssed fowls,
! to prevent the silk and lace suspentlers
! that did duty as dress waists from fall
ing off their shoulders. The same
bridal party were, to the number of q
dozen, photographed, and if We're to
send 81 copy up to Connecticut, I'd not
only be prayed for i'll the churches as
one lost, but I'd be liable for sending
indecent pictures by mail.
No gloves! That's dreadful for nice
looks. No corsets! That's bad for
comfort; and no waist to our dresses,
and that's going to be cool for the sum
mer, if it possesses no other decided
advantage.

The prisoners were brought here and
upon their arrival the indignant citzens,
numbering over 1000, took them to the

in the crime, but insisted that the one

Whereas, Louisiana is now threaten

RADICAL1sM OUTDONE.

RADICALISM OUTDONE.
Elsewhere we publish at length a
basis of unif3cation of the races in Lou
isiana, agreed upon by prominent white
and colored leaders in the city Of New
Orleans. The document itself furnishes
its own comment, and requires, intrin-
sically, from us no lengthy disapproba-
ton. AS specimen of satire, it would
rank high in the humorous literature
OF the day, did not the names of Beau
regard, Gibson and other weli-known
Southern men appear as endorsers,
whose manliness of character lifts this |
pernicious scheme above the atmos-
phere of satire and insincerity. But
for the names of such citizens and the
formal character of the paper itself, we
should be disposed to laugh as heartily
at its recommendations as we would at
some stray sketch of Sut Lovengood Or
Bill Arp. And even with these hon
oreti signatures, and every disposition
to he charitable, we can but receive the
Pronunciamento Of Unification, either
Will 3lAlAASs3 Vi NCI4SlOli3 vi SA liCSoAtlAo
Of natural disgust.
The address is wrong not only in tho
Dry, but recommends n practice which
must provo destructive to all the en-
nobling virtues of our race and to every
material interest of tho State.
That there is superiority of the
white race over the black, that finds
expression in the usages of society now
proposed to be uprooted and abolished
by this scheme of Unification, is truth
the wide world over. That white men
will yield this birth-right for any form
of government, is an assumption of self
abasoment which justifies the dogma
that self government is Utopian.-
Whenever ancestral and personal pride
of race and character is surrendered by
any people, there is no longer any JUS
LITIGATION for the government of the in
dividual.
What, let us ask these propagandists,
will become of Louisiana, us q State,
when their theories are put into prac-
tice? Is 1t to be supposed that Louisi-
ana, under such regulations, will be
other than Negro State: Gen. Beau
regard must be crazy, if he supposcs he
con populate Louisiana with European
immigrants upon the basis of equality,
civil, political and social, of the immi-
grant with tho negro. And yet this is
precisely what tho Hero of Manassas is
now cndcavoring to do, Us the head of
this now movement and as sponsor of
the Louisiana immigration Society.
Suppose the idea of the Unificrs be
carried out, and that Louisiana thereby
secures tho coveted goal,--an honest
State government, - how abhorrent
would he the thought to q Georgian,
Albanian, Kentuckian, New Yorker,
or even Puritan of New England, of
settling in Louisiana and rearing his
children in such n State! Any citizen
Of another State who would come here,
would be man to be avoided.
Unifcation OH tho basis of perfect
equality of whites and blacks VIC abl,or
it in every fibre of our being. We know
no necessity that can bring us to such a
pass.

JEFFERSON, Narch II, 1873.
Editor Democrat.
During the time of the late flood of
the Santiam, your humble servant was
aroused from his slumbers at the dead
hour of daylight with a request that
he would 'loan q hand" in assisting to
secure large collection of saw logs
belonging to Mr.. Smith, the proprietor
of the saw mill ut this place. We
complied with the request, and while
Fishing around" on the RATS, the
"boomn confining the logs suddenly
parted; whereupon about one hundred
and fifty dollars worth of logs imme-
diately set out on a reckless voyage of
Investigation perhaps toward the north
pole, and we simultaneously set about
discovering q northwest passage to
Jefferson, and found it. The remain
der and principal portion of Mr..
Smiths fine lot of logs were saved by
the combined exertions of ourself, the
mill hands and providence. Now we
think Mr.. S. ought to be under many
obligations to us for our kindness in
assisting him in his hour of need.-
Perhaps he is; but he never mentioned
cigars nor lager. Another raft Of
about thirty logs which was mooreti at
the lower end of town was also swept
away by the resistless force of the
"raging Santiam." I've were unable
to learn who it belonged to, as neither
Mr.. Smith northe loggers seem willing
to claim it.
A small dam near the grist mill has
been carried away twice lately, occa-
sioning considerable loss of time, mon
ey and annoyance, as the mill had to
cease operations until reparation was
made. Yours truly,

Der were present, among whom were
three stock-solicitors who went away
with a smile on their faces,
as nearly if not quite all that were
present took stock in the Albany &

After the usual routine of business
the Club proceeded to elect by ballot
one delegate TO attend the State Con-
vention, to be held in Salem, April 10,
1878, which resulted in tile election OF
y. $. Looney. sI'e recommend that
each and every other Club in the State
do likewise, that the State Convention
may receive eulogies as did the Linn
County which has the
name of being the most harmonious
and largest attended gathering that
had been seen in the Court House for
some time. Let us move slow but sure
in the plan that we have adopted and
everything goes well with the Club In
