PRESSURE ON THE Exc
CUITTE.

The poor, cowardly contraction
lists, finding that Congress is
against them in both branches, and
that there is fair prospect for. the
adoption Of a liberal financial policy,
are now imploring the aid OF Presi-
dent Grant, and the veto power, re-
served to him for special emergen-
cies. But, however much the Presi-
dent may dote upon the capitalists
of Wall street, and however highly
he may prize their favors, he will
think more than twice before COM
hitting an act in direct opposition
to the views Of such Senotors as
Logan, Carpenter, Morton and Fer
~, as well as to the ardent desires
Of the great majority Of the people.
The pressure will be heavy and
persistentaand meddlesome, proba-
~ offensive, but the President un-
derstands perfectly that he can not
submit to it withoutoutrage to the
people at large, and that q veto to
the financial bill approved by both
houses Of Congress, after careful in
vestigation and exhaustive debate,
will be equivalent to political death
to himself and untold disaster to
his party. We think there is no
risk in predicting that the bill will
not be vetoed.-Exchanae.

DEAD, BOT Nor BURIED.
BY T. b. ALDRIUH.

When af~' nd dies and is buried,
there's an end of him. We miss
him for a space ont of our daily ex-
lstence; we mourn for him by de-
grees that become mercifully less:
we cling to the blessed hope that
we shall be reunited in some more
perfect sphere; but SO far as this
earth 10 concerned, there's an end
Of him. However near and dear
he was, the time arrives when he
doe. not form a part Of our daily
thought; he ceases to be even an
abstraction. We go no more with
flowers and tears into the quiet
cemetery; only the rain and the
snow-Aakes fall there; We leave it
for tho fingers Of spring to deck the
neglected mound.
But when our friend vanishes un-
accountably in the midst Of q
crowded city, or goes off on sea
voyage and is never heard of again,
his memory has singular tenacity.
He may be, to all intents and pur-
poses, dead to us, but we have not
lost him. Thu ring Of the door bell
at midnight may be his ring; the
approaching Vi. footstep may be
his footsteps; ]. the unexpected
letter with foreign post-marks may
be from his hand. He haunts us as
The dead never can.
The woman whose husband died
last night may marry again within
a luster Of months. Do you sup
pose week passes by when the
whose husband disappeared
nysteriously ten years ago does ;.
not thinl of him? There are mo-
nents wnen the opening Of a door
must startle her.
There is no real absence but
leath.

.BEAUREGARD TIMES.

The first number Of this pape,
issued by Messrs. Dridewe1l and
Buchanan has reached us. It is q
model Of typographical taste, and
it's contents bespeak experience and
capacity of it's conductor: The
following extract from his introduce
tory expresses our idea precisely
We say without fear Of denial we
have had in Mississippi too much
politics since the war. We CON-
menced, unfortunately at the close
of the war gushingly full Of tit
o'erleaped itselftand further,to quote
the great bard, it "fell on 'tother
side" However much the: truth
may hurt, We have been mouthing
our wrath too long-we have been
too long playing the melodramatic
and melancholic individual who
hugs his misfortune in lonely obdu-
raey, to the discomfort Ut himself
and everybody else. We look too
much. We are for the New South!
We must refuse longer to sit down
and do nothing but moan and groan
Of what might have been, and how i.
ought to be. The past belongs to
the dead; that which has happened
to us ie an ae1omplished~ fact,
and there is an end of it. Look
ahead, look ahead; hope is in the
future; no man ever saw::her behind
his back. Let Southern Bourbon

Il NEW. PLEDGE.

| One feature of1the temperanc
revival is both commendable an,
practicable. In certain places
pledge is now circulatingj among
young men by which the singer
bind themselves to refrain from ask
ing other men to drink. There i.
nothing that is more absurd, in it.
self considered, than the theory
that a.man is under obligation tc
pay for the drinks consumed by hie
friends. No man thinks of asking
"a friend out to take a social pair ci
boots or friendly barrel of -four,
and yethe isregarded as committing
"a breach Of etiquette if he ventures
to drink without xsaskng friend to
drink with him.. No man would
feel otherwise than insulted if an
acquaintance asked him to accept q
friendly 6fteen-oent stamp, and yet
he feels himself insulted if he is
not asked to drink fifteen cents
worth Of ardent spirits. The ex-
ceeding folly Of the custom is equal
led only by the evil influence which
it exerts. Many a man is forced to
drink by oneof a group ofaccquaint-
ances when he is not in the least
thirsty, and he is thus in turn COM
PEELED to invite them to drink a
second time with him to the detri-
ment not only Of his puerse but OF
his health. It is not too much to
say that at least one-half Of the
ardent spirits consumed in this city
is drunk by men who do not want
it, but::swho are compelled by a
stupid and senseless custom both to
drink when invited to do so and to
invite others to drink with them
who had much rather not do any
thing Of the kind;
The pledge against ''treating'
ought to produoe. good results. It
commends itself to all sensible men,
ind the fact Of having signed it
gives them a sufficient excuse for
,easing to observe preposterous
custom. The new pledge ought to
20 vigorously circulated, and the
more singers that con be obtained
or it the more hope there will be
# putting an end to the folly Of
,cial tipping.

THE LOUISIANJAN

Was established to meet a necessity
that has long, and sometimes, pain
fully been felt to exist.
1t was proposed through this
Journal to furnish to OUR PEOPLE
the information guidance en-
couragement and counsel which
they SO much needed in the transi-
ton from their former unfortunate
condition into the new and better
estate of American citizenship.
In resuming its publication, we
re-assure our readers and friends,
that, holding this journal true to its
original aims, we shall honestly
labor to make it an efficient agent
in 1furthering the interests Of tie
colored people Of the Nation, and
elevating the race that it especially
represents.
POLICY
AS our motto indicates, the
Lou1s1AN1AN shall he "Republaca'a at
all times and u,,der all circu77,-
Stances" We shall advocate the
security and enjoyment Of broad
civil liberty, the absolute equality
Of all men. before the law, and an
impartial distribution of honor and
patronage to all who merit them.
DESTROYS of allaying animosities,
Of obliterating the memory of the
bitter past, Of promoting harmony
and union among all classes and
between all interests, wo shall
advocate the removal of all disabili-
ties. foster kindness and forbear-
ance, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness
and justice where wrong and op-
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, we shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
our noble State, to an enviable posi- |
ton among her sister States, by the |
Development Of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits |
Of the mighty changes in the history |
and condition of the people dnd the |
country.
Believing that there can be no
true liberty without the supremacy
OF law, we shall urge a strict and
discriminating administration OF |
justice.
TAXATION.
We shall support the doctrine of !
an equitable division of taxation |
among all classes, q faithful collec-
tlon u OF the revenues, economy in
the Il expenditures, conformably with |
Tho exigencies of the State or
country and the discharge of every
legitimate obligation.
EDUCATION.
We shall sustain the carrying out I
OF the provisions of the act establish |
'ng our common school system, and |
urge as paramount duty the edu-
sallon OF our youth, as vitally con- |
oeeted with their own enlighten-
nent: y, and the security and stability !
u a Republican Government. !
FINAL.
!, by a generous, manly, indepen-
asnt, sE and judicious course, we |
:aall strive to rescue our paper, !
from an ephemoral, and temporary |
tia'stence, and establish it upon a |
vas's, that if we cannot command"

PETER COOPER HAS
t. PRESERVED HIS
YOUTH.
[From his Speech on his SD Birthday.
| Measured by the achievements q
the years I have seen, I am one O
the Oldest men who have ever lived
but I do not feel old, and I propos
to give the receipt by which I hav
preserved my youth. I have alway
given friendly welcome to nev
IDEAS, and I have endeavored not t,
feel too old to learn-and thus
though I stand here with the SHOWS
of go many winters upon my head
my faith in human nature, my belle
in the progress of man to- bette,
social condition, and especially II
my trust in the ability of men tt
establish and maintain self-govern.
ment, are as fresh and as young as
when I began to travel the path o.
life. While I have always recognized
that the object Of business is to
make money in an honorable man.
ner, I have endeavored to remember
that the object Of life is to do good.
Hence, I have been ready to
engage in all new enterprises, and,
without incurring debt, to risk the
means which I had acquired in their
promotion, provided they seemed
to me calculated to advance the
general good. This will account
for my early attempt to construct
the first American locomotive, for
my connection with the telegraph
in q course Of efforts to unite our
country with the European worlds
and for my recent efforts to solve
the problem Of economical steam
navigation on the canals; to all of
which you have so kindly referred.
It happens to but few men to change
the current Of human progress as
it did to Watt, to Fulton, to Stephen
son and Morse; but most men may
be ready to welcome laborers to a
new field of usefulness, and to clear
the road for their progress.
This I have tried to do, as well in
the .perfecting and execution of
their ideas, as in making such
provision as my means have
permitted for the proper education
Of young mechanics and citizens Of
my native city; in order to fit them
fo1 the reception of new ideas,
social, and mechanical and scienti-
fic; hoping thus to economize and
the intellectual as well as
physical forces,and provide 3 larger
fund for distribution among the
various classes which necessarily
make up the total ofsociety. I feel
that nature has provided bounti-
fully for the wants Of all men, and
that we need only knowledge, !
scientific, political and religious,
and self-control, in order to eradi-
cate the evils under which society |
has suffered in all ages. Let me
saY then, in conclusion, that my ex-
perience of life has not dimmed my |
hopes for humanity; that my sun is
not setting in clouds and darkness,
but is going down cheerfully in a
clear armament lighted up by the
glory of God, who should always be
venerated and loved, as the infinite
source and fountain of all Light
and goodness.
The man who makes every day a
east of fat things, and sustains
by never allowing alcohol

hours in the after part Of the night,
must perish prematurely, and can
aot beget healthy children. 1
