in his advice wien he had neither 70!
nor responsibility. We were pleased IL
other day to exempt all OF Mr.. Macheca
company Of Italians" who are citizens (
the United States. from the responsible
ties Of armed denizens interfering in til
affairs Of State. We suggest. however
that in future he shall say. u and m
company Of Americans" It will b
much easier Of explanation.
We have also thought that such deni
zers as leave in their own countries ma
! tional b onor to be defended. or popula
wrongs to be redressed. are refugees from
| duty in one respect and impertinent in
| truders in an other. A thousand inhabi
tants of Alsace and Lorraine in New Or
leans took the oath Of allegiance to France
instead Of Germany. It is possible tina
their services would have been more val
liable in the field than taking oaths in 6
foreign country. which would entitle then
to protection that did not appear in theil
case to have been at all reciprocal.
We have some every excellent sugges.
TONS given to foreign residents by a
writer in the Pic1y,ns. He says:
! am not citizen of this State or
country. but have lived here for about
three years.
He. like many other visitors. knows
more about our institutions than We do
ourselves. Thus:
can not but know indeed that the
present government, just ce,ne into power,
is the true government of the people here,
and the only one that can save this State
and people from utter restitution and ruin,
which they have almost reached; can pro-
tect alone the people of all shades and
cOlors in all their righte; can give men to sit
in our courts Of justice who are not de.
graded.
1.-The very excellent suggestion" for
which the Picayune thanks the writer.
follows:
If some Of our prominent English resi-.
dents will but call meeting Of their cOun.
trymen, and other 'naticnalities Of theirs,
Immediately, and draw up . statement Of
affairs rs they have been, the wrong and
wickedness Of the past under the usurping
prosperity which we see in the future under
the present peoples government, it will
eventuate, am assured, in making plain to
the people of the North and the President of
the United States that LOuisiana's elder and
very younger noble sOEs have shed their
blood and given their lives to cause dear
eet to the hearts of all who truly love their
country.
With great hope that this may add a
great respect.
This 1ung-tester of a sentence means
that Messrs. j. Bull & Co., aliens resident |
among US. shall demonstrate with the
United States against its administration |
Of its own laws. If 1.-THE cause well be- |

would this d isinterested adviser share in |
my uncom Portable legal proceedings? |

But the question now is, what is the right
ming to be done by the government at
Vashingtonl 1t strikes me that great
pportunity presents itself for the exercise

Universally acknowledged, made a serious
under in interfering between the con.
'stants for the Governorship two years
90, further than to preserve the peace. In
Ict, the true policy then was the one now
