any other logical bsckspring was simple.
While it is in entire political sympathy
with the White League1s, it is running a
little side show of its own on the Terre'
bonnie idea. What do the Baton Rouge
White Leaguers say:
Resolved, That VIC the white men whose
names are subscribed hereto, pledge our
selves as gentlemen and men of honor to
employ no person for the coming year, in
any capacity whatever. either as q field
hand or house servant, or for any labor for
which servants are usually employed, nor
will We rent lands to or farm on shares with
any person who shall in the coming election
vote the Radical ticket
And the Shreveport Times:
We have organized the white mans party
in North Louisiana, and we must and will
stand by it. 1t is our only hope; aye, the only
hope of the State. If any miserable com
suggestion. 1t any white man accepts .
Radical negro nomination, place upon him
the ban of public scOrn and contempt, and
if any man seeks to divide our strength
by attempting the independent dodge, treat
him as a public enemy. Once more we
appeal to every white man in North
Louisiana to do his whole duty in this cam
paign; to register and to vote; to denounce
all compromises with radicalism or negro
lem, and bend all his energies to the cleo
ton of honest and capable white men to
office.
Then We have from the Picaysne this
notice Of the address Of the coIoyed
people;
With this address, and especially that
part of it which refers to the white people,
we have now to do. 1t is a very strong doc
ument, manly and dignified in tone, and it,
according to our view, mistaken in some
points of fact and inference, yet full of a
cOnciliatory and reasonable spirit, which
ought to be the sole consideration with US.
We commend it to the perusal and serious
reflection of our readers, in the hope that it
may lead to some better and kindlier pOlit-
ical understanding between them aud their
colOred fellow citizens, and with the promise
to support and advocate any talr. honorable
and genuine adjustment and cooperation
which may result.
1t seems to us that herein we may find a
speedier and surer relief than will ever be
accorded to US by the tardy and unwilling
action Of the general government; and the
Piccyune stands ready to aid and further
such relief by every means at its command.
The address referred to conveys no
hope of any dissolution or desertion Of
the Republican party. 1t says. I'VE are
Republicans in politics both from instinct
and conviction
We annex short. biographical sketch
of colored Republican leaders. When
contrasted with the Picaycne's utterances
about Soulouque and pinch, and the
admission Of General Chester to the bar,
it shows commendable courtesy and a
disposition to treat people of color &C.
cordin: to their persona! merits. Here
are the biographical notes:
T. Morris Chester is we'll known. He is
full blooded eoloyed man, lawyer by
profession, thoroughly educated-in Ger
many and England-and of no little intel
lectual force. He ie not an Otfceholder,
nor, so far as we know, an Otfice-seeker.
His influence with the blacks is very great.

and need not be further described at this
time, except to say that in the address to
which his name is appended we recognize
sentiments often enunciated by him in times
gone by.
