THE LOUISIANA PLATFoRM.-ln an
other column we publish the platform
adopted by the Baton Rouge conven-
tor. The Kellogg government de-
nounced as an usurpation, originating
in and sustained by force and fraud.
The Radical party in the State is
charged with having infamed the pas
sions and preiudices of "the negroes
as race against the whites, and has
thereby made it necessary for the
white people to unite and act together
in self defence for the preservation of
white civilization" The rights of
all men under the constitution are re-
cognized and declared inviOlate, ire
spective of race, color or previous
condition, but II is emphatically de-
MED that Congress can constitution
ally enact laws to force the two races
, into social union or equality. The
platform closes with the declaration
chat while the white people of Louisi-
ana have no desire to deprive the
colorcd people of any rights to which
they are entitled, reform is demanded
and can be effected only by electing
white men OF known capacity and IN
tegrity 10 Office.
This is clear and definite enunci-
alton Of the principles of what is
known rs "the white mans party"
in Louisiana, which is charged with a
desire 70 plunge the people into pro-
longed and revengeful strife. If
there is anything pointing to a war OF
races in this, the fault lies with those
who have trampled under foot the
rights and feelings of freemen in \
frantic and wicked effort to bring them
down to social equality with freed
men. The former were born free,
the latter we're made free, and yet for
ten years the general government has
been pres sing the former to the wall
wherever it was possible. The effort
to melt down the distinctive differ
ences between the highest and the
lowest types of the human race and
TO do it as it we're in an hour or a day
has failed and must forever fail. II
the northern people would examine
their own hearts they would at once
perceive that this is true. They have
in their midst many educated negroes,
men who stand high morally and in
tellectually, men like Douglass aud
Laneston, and yet there is not ne
gro in Congress from n Northern
State, or even in a Northern Legisla-
ture. Thus ii has been and will be,
but the NORWOOD of social and poll.
tical equality, which they decline, is
pressed with cruel persistence to the
lips of Southern men. Because they
do not accept it with any great alac-
rity they are held up to the world as
barbarians, who do not deserve the
blessings of good government and
who ought to be crushed by the mill
tary power. England for centuries
tried to make mankind believe that
the Irish we're barbarians, and that
it would be well if they were driven
ont and their places filed by others,
But 'the barbarians" were faithful to
the traditions of their native land
they never consented to oppression
they never admitted the right of any
foreign people to rule over them-and
at last they gained the ear of the
world and won by steady endurance q
grander victory than was ever won by
any people upon the battle field. The
South can do as much and will do SC
in the end.

Tue OLD SToRY.-On Friday after
noon, the 4th inst, three children
were passing through q wood near
the line Of Jessamine and Woodford
counties, in KY, on their way home
from school. The eldest of these
children was eleven years old, the
second nine, and the third younger
still. At secluded point on their
route they were met by a muscular ne
gro about twenty years of age, who
seized the eldest, throwing her to the
ground, while at the same time he
threatened to kill the second il she
underworld to escape. He then viola
ted the person of the girl, despite
her helpless tears and struggles. In
the mean time, however, the third
child fled from the scene, and in lit
tie while the news of the deed spread
far and wide, A company of men
started in pursuit of the negro, and
before nightfall he was captured. BE
was first taken to the Jail in Versailles,
the county seat of Woodford. The
sheriff, fearing that the prisoner
would be taken from him and hung,
hurried him off to Nicholasville, the
county seat of Jessamine, sixteen
miles distant. On the Saturday fol-
lowing the negro had his examining
trial, and in the presence of the court
admitted his guilt. He was then re-
manded to Jail. In little while the
father of the child, a man named
Strange, aecoF panied by several kins-
men and friends, went to the Jail and
demanded of the keeper, the keys,
which were given up. The party
then took the negro from Jail and
hung him to a tree in the edge of the
town.
Gov. Leslie has issued proclama-
ton and offered reward for the con-
viction of the lynchers. The jailor
and the sheriff of Jessamine county
are Radicals. A majority of the vo-
tors are blacks. The hanging was
done in broad day light without any
attempt at disguise, 1t looks as if
Strange might easily be convicted, for
we do not suppose that he would de-
Ry the act, but how would Gov. Leslie
treat petition for his pardon signed
by half a million of the white people
of Kentucky? We do not think that
white men viii quit hanging black
men until black men quit outraging
white women. The law ought to be
sustained, but public sentiment is to
n law what the ground under house
is to the superstructure. The public
sentiment is not part of the law, the
ground is not part of the house, but
neither law nor house can stand on
nothing. Roman history rings with
the praises of the old lynchers who
toppled dynasties and banished the
Torquins and Claudiuses for the crime
of rape. The patriarch Jacob re-
buked his sons when they slew the
ravisher of Dinah, not because their
act was wrong, but because it might |
bring upon him the wrath of the raw
isher's kinsmen. Jacob was in an /
alien country, surrounded by enemies,
and he was fearfnl that they would
raVage his fields, slay his focks, and
involve him IN war, Patriarch Leslie
is rebuking his sons in the same way.

"THE HEATHEN CmNEE. Had a
hailstorm last night" remarked a
guest to California landlord, "Oh,
no." was the reply, "only few OF the
boys shooting at the Cinnamon, and
the balls ratified against the house"
The causeless killing of Cinnamon
in California is we'll known to be an
every day occurrence, but the senti-
ment of the northern people and
press upon the subject finds its truest
expression in jests like the above.
And yet the Chinamau is the coun-
tryman of Confucius and is as supe-
rior to the negro as we think ourselves
superior to the Chinaman. When
will the Government of the United
States have the same laws for the al
mond-eyed eelestlals that they have
for the whites?

Some people seem to think that
the Federal Government has the
right to interfere with the domes-
tic affairs of Tennessee, whenever
it sees proper. 1t cannot do so ex-
cept at the request of the Governor,
and in any other event ITS inter
ference would be simple usurpation.
Such usurpation would affect the
business and credit of the State,
and that would make trouble in
Wall Street. We do not think that
Gen. Grant will do anything very
decisive in the way of destroying
State Governments in the South,
before he counts the costs to the
bankers and bondholders of the
country. He has infinite regard for
the opinions of the monied men of
New York.

Too LATE.-The way men put off i'm
portant matters to the last moment is
one of the curious things in nature.
The fifth concert in aid of the Public
Library of Kentucky was advertised
to take place July 81. The day after,
August l, Gov. Bramlette, the mana
ger, at Louisville, received over $780,
900 for tickets. Had the drawing Ia
ken place ut that time the Governor
wouln have had to send this money
back, but as the concert was postpon'
ed to November 80, it was all right
with them. We presume that on the
first Of December next, theaday after
the concert, thousads of dollars will
be received, one day too late, fol
there Will be no further posponement
This money might just as well have
been sent week before, as when il
