vas established to meet a necessity
that has long, and sometimes, pain

they 50 much needed in the transit
ton from their former unfortunate
condition into the new and better
estate of American citizenship. =,
In resuming it's publication, We
re-assure our readers and friends,

Orlglnal aims, we snail nOneStly
labor to make it an efficient agent
in furthering the interests OF the
colored people Of the Nation, and
the race that it especially
represents.
POLICY
As our motto indicates, the
Lou1s1AN1AN shall b c"Repubs.:ass At
all times and under all circum-
stanccs." We shall, advocate the
security and enjoyment Of broad
cis .,perty, the absolute equality
:, all men before the law, and an
impartial distribution of honor and
patronage to all who mefit them.
DESTROYS of allaying animosities,
of oblterating the memory of the
bitter past, of promoting harmony
and union among oil classes and
between all interests, we shall
advocate the removal of all disabili-
ties, foster kindness anu forbear-
ance, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness
>ad justice where wrong and op-
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, we shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
ou- uoble State, to ON enviable posi-
ton among her sister States, by the
development Of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits
of the mighty changesin the history
and condition Of the people and the
country.
Believing tina there can be no
true liberty without the supremacy
of law, W. shall urge q strict and
Understanding administration oil
Justice. ""
TAXATION.
We shall support the doctrine OF
an equitable division Of taxation
among all classes, a faithful coilec-
ton OF the revenues, economy in
the expenditures, conformably with
the exigencies of the State or
country and the discharge Of every
legitimate obligation.
EDCCAT1OM
We shall sustain the carrying out
of the provisionsof the act establish
ing our common school, system, and
urge as q paramount duty the edu-
cation -four youth, as vitality con-
nected with their own enlighten-
mont. and the security: and stability
Of a Republican Government.
FINAL.
By a generous, manly, indepen-
dent, and judicious course, we
shall strive to rescue our paper,
from an 'ephemoral, and, temporary
existence, and establish it upon a
basis, that if we cannot command"
we shall at all events "deserve"
success.

the best representatives of its intelli gencc and
culture One of them is serving his third, and
two of them their second terms in Congress, so
half OF the number have had some Congressional
experience. And yet, immediate representa-
tiveS though they be of a race numbering four
millions tpeoplc, not one of them has originat-
ed Il measure nor put forth an idea, not one has
distinguished himself by committee work, not
one has appeared above the dull level of med
locrlty except Elliott, who made one speech
which occasoned notice because, as We have
said, it was made by a negro. Lynch, it is
true, has also made speech, but it was in Il
Republican caucus, in which he declared that
no matter how bad the Republican party might
be the negroes would stick to ii, because it had
given them freedom" Old Daddy Cain
is Il noted character at home in South Carolina,
where much OF his time is consumed in defend
ing himself in suits brought against him for
alleged corrupt practices. He is a Methodist
preacher, edits small religious and political

as good-humored and amusing old darky.

SIX picked men of the negro race sit IN Congress
as mere lay fgureS-St there apparently on
sutferance, nodded at patronizingly by a casual
Republican member and ignored almost wholly
by the rest of the House. What are we to learn
from this failure of the negroe in Statecraft?
Shall we put it together with the failure Of the
negro youths at West Point and the inconSpi-
cuous positions reached by negroes who hav
entered the learned professions. and conclu -
that the race, as whole, is incapable of rising
much above the intellectual average which has
characterized it since it has been known in
history? Or shall we accept the plea of its
particular friends and believe that il is emery
ing from its childhood and needs only the white
man forty centuries of culture and experience
to rival him in his intellectual achievements?
The question is one of importance, because it
bears upon the immediate future of our politics.

to be remarkable because it did emanate from
