NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JULY. 80 ls14 -


Charles Sumner or even John Brown.
These abolitionists would have been con-
tent with securing to the negroes the
wages of their own labor. They were
perfectly willing that the white people
should employ colored laborers in their
farms and workshops, but they did not
look forward to the time when the whole
white people would discard the labor OF
negroes and go to work themselves. This
was an extent of abolition never contem-
plated, we may suppose, by the Wild
est zealot who ever advocated the
repeal of slave title. Yet it is, we
understand, the purpose of the White
League to dismiss all colored labor and
commit the work to the whites exclusively.
1t is magnificent programme. Messrs.
of the city, get ready to take the drays
and floats. You will run the river as
roustabouts. You will carry burdens,
sweep floors, scrape streets and cutters.
Ladies of New Orleans, under the plans
VI tuC w AleC AcdS,uc SOu WILL PSAAOAAAA ia
the duties of your household.
Some may comfort themselves with the
belief that they will have Dutch and Irish
men and women to do the work that the
negroes now perform. The Amite hide
pendent well says:
If to be mere servants was the object of
immigrants they could do SO in the father
land, without crossing the ocean.
The removal of the negroes will be
sudden, for they may themselves aid in
the exodus What. then, will be the con-
dition of the planter? He owns lands
under fence and in cultivation. He has
mules, implements of labor, supplies.
His lands must be plowed in season or he
can not plant them. When the White
Leagues central committee issues an
order to exterminate or expel the negroes,
they can make no exception in favor of any.
The planter will then have all this invest
ment and preparation upon his hands.
Can white immigrant be placed in room
of every black laborer? Can a white
woman be substituted for every colored
cook and washerwoman? Every one knows
this to be impossible. Then the planter
can not pay off mortgage, nor pursue
his business until the labor substitution
can be perfected. This will require two
or three years. Then the planter Of the
present will have been ruined We have
heretofore referred to the immense adj
vance in wages to result from the scarcity
of labor on the exodus of the col
ored people. This would contribute to
precipitate the ruin of the planter.
In one word the scheme to array the
people of one race against those of another
is too monstrous in it's consequences.
The bare advocacy of such measure
should destroy all claim of its advocates
upon public confidence. These new
abolitionists are far more fanatical than
the old. If they can abolish all substitu-
ton for labor and compel the white people
to perform all these industrial services as
is done in Switzerland and Holland,
they will have achieved such miracle as
is "a rely effected by unaided human means.
But will one of those leaguers go to work
himself?

The White League proposes to discard
every colored worker, and take charge Of
the industries themselves. This last is a
glorious determination, it implies the
admission that the former system Of
living by the labor of others was an error.
Perhaps there never was such whole
sale and universal concession and CONVEX
sion on the part of any people as this If
white people alone should be permitted
to work, why the war? If white people
alone are fit to cultivate the land, and
conduct the industrial affairs of society,
what an error in our having had any
other sort Of laborers. The mission
of the White League goes far beyond
the programme of Theodore Parker,

A cable dispatch announces the cea'h OF
Fritz Reuter-, the well known German nov
e,ist. Reuter- was not only one OF the most
celebrated but, in a financial sense, perhaps
the most successful of modern German
writer's. His forte was the delineatlon OF
low German character. He was in every
way a favorite Of the people. HIS stores
amused the peasant, because he knew tnat
thew were true, and the fastidious countess
took delight in them, wondering if it were
nossible such queer people as he described
could exist.
