/ as long as he does not array himself in hos
tility to the people, who by their virtue,
their intelligence and their grest interest in
the State, ought to control its government
and legislation. M
Which being slaughtered out and inter-
preted means that so long as the negro
will vote as the white conservatives direct
or advise, his rights shall not be impinged;
but if he attempts. to think for himself, or
assume to himself the unrestricted privi-
leges of American citizenship, then war is
to be declared against him. 1t should be
remembered that the negro is native OF
the soil of Louisiana, which many Of his
white opponents who claim the exclu-
sive RICH. to control things here are
not; that he lives here the year round,
which they do not; that many Of our COL
ored citizens are actually the sons. and
descendants Of the sons, Of men who
founded this State. If there is, therefore,
any merit in these conditions which is not
conferred by virtue of American citizen
ship (Which we deny, then the negro is
entitled to all the advantages arising from
it. 1t can not be said that any man pos
sesses unrestricted suffrage so long as
anybody else has the power to limit this
suffrage, The right to vote SO long as be
votes according to the direction Of the
conservative whites is, in fact, no right at
all. The colored people are American cit
liens of equal rank with the descendants of
revolutionary sires, and they must be per-
mitted to make their own selections at
the polls If they can be denied this,
then they are merely auxiliaries or even
se-fs to the party race, or whatever it may
be that imposes such conditions upon
them. If they are in the minority, then,
of course, they must yield, but if not
their verdict is as much the law Of the
land as though it had been handed in by
pure white hands. It is not now ques-
ton whether it is proper to admit colored
people to the privileges of the franchise.
Tha. has been settled by the will of the
nation. And the great right Which has
been conferred can not be taken from
them or impaired except by revolution
greater than any we have yet seen.
If the PiclWme wishes the negro to
vote its ticket, it should enieavor to make
it to his interest to do SO. He may be
persuaded, or convinced by reason, but
can not and ought not to be forced by
threats of disfranchi5ement. We are only
contending for the exercise Of his right to
act as free agent. If the Piccyune can
satisfy him that its party possesses all the
honesty and responsibility, and all the
other virtues, we are content. What
man does voluntarily is on his own re-
spons;bility. What he does at the Gcta-
ton Of Others, he does as servant or
slave. The condition of servitude hay
ing been abolished, the language which
would have been appropriate once is now
entirely out Of place. A white mans
party is thus unconstitutional and opposed
to the genius Of modern politics

Since the great levee convention went
back upon the impractcab,es who want to
ruin the country at any price, provided
somebody else will foot the bill, there is
great confusion in the camp of the PILLS
tines. There is painful lack Of cohesion
among the white mans party folks If
things go on in this way and people begin
to look into things for themselves, and
like Gadgrind, demand facts, the oppo-
sition is we'll nigh ruined. A most excel
lent planter, but rather Indifferent writer
| bores the Bulletin with some ill-natured
stri ctures upon the action of the levee con-
! We ntion, the real meaning Of which is that
| tn csc intelligent, sensible, honorable rep
| esentatives of the sentiment Of Louisiana
| Cat least they were characterized as such
before they met, and have earned the
compliment sincel did not quite come up
to the rather inflated expectations Of this
good plower and grubber, but Indifferent
quill driver. If We admit this, it proves
no thing, since it is not so clearly settled
that the pseudo planter knew exactly
what he did want, or that anybody else of
consequence agreed with lin. 4 planter
who ''wears his honors in box unseen"
by loafug around the city writing ILL
natured comments upon the conclusions
Of earnest men is, no doubt, on the eve of
selling out preparatory to throwing up the
ag ricultural business. And the politician
ho has lost the power to scare sensible
me n into doing things against their con-
victions is about as near to the end of his
tether. II there is general mu.iny in
the opposition camp, as there undoubted-
~ u.s. we do not know what is to become
of the surplus patriotism which is now
hanging around for employment, even on
boa I'd wages, if nothing better offers.
The RulIetin is in a quandary because
the levee convention chose to consult
Governor Kellogg in preference to relying
upon its files. The Catholic Messenger is
in quandary because Of the probability
of giving employment to the negroes, and
their fostering this, to it; odious class of
Amer lean citizens who obstinately refuse
to vote the right ticket or acknowledge the
true church. The Bee buzzes its disap-
p-oval Of everything American, except,
perhaps, the redeeming habit Of drinking
champagne, and the Picayne has but enc
paramount desire, and that is not for the
cons truction of the Fort St. Philip canal,
but that there may be some such war of
ces as will subject an American citizen,
bee ause he happens to be black, to the
foreign bigots, who have in the ''most |
tyra nnical manner been deprived by the
United States of the profitable diversion
of lordiag it ever the sons and daughters
of this soil. Thus, all of the elements OPP |
posed to Republicanism are little con-
fused as to what they shall do next, and |!
in horrible state of uncertainty whether I
their former associates, upon whom they
have always counted with confidence, will |
stand by them in the future.

The sea mouse is one of tie prettiest
creatures that lives under water. 1t
sparkles like diamond and is radiant with
all the colors Of the rainbow, although it
lives in the mud at the bottom of the ocean.
1t should not be called mouse, for it is
larger than big rat. 1t is covered with
scales that move up and down as it breathes,
and glitters like gold shining through a

wave, that constantly change from one
brilliant tint to another, so that, ss Culver,
