THE IRONCLAD.

We have offended our friends of the
Picayune by an apparent imputation Of
duplicity. This was by no means our
purpose; we intended only to imply an
an impartial advocacy Of several party
opinions, and was indeed described by
the appli cation of the term 'polygonal," "
which met the approval of our neighbor.
But We have figure which may be ap-
piled and accepted without disparage-
ment.
We iken the Picay,lne to an immense
monitor How will that do? 1t is a
huge and impregnable turtle sleeping on
the waters. 1t defes alike the light-draft
Bulletin and the more ponderous Times.
The polyglot projectiles Of the Bee glance
from it's deck and an occasional dent from
the plunging fire Of the New York World,
the recochet of its correspondent, or
jar of its double-ender propeller are the
sole evi dences of the hostile assaults by
which it is surrounded.
The Pic has its turret, and within its
we'll gu arded walls is a piece of ordnance
of great weight and great calibre. This
piece revolves on its circle, and COM
mands all the degrees and minutes of the
political horizon. Occasionally it re-
turns the fire. AS the Radical Demo-
cratic, White League or Liberal craft
come within range the PIC lets 60 this
awful ordnance If it strikes the object,
which is not to be always expected
in the heat of combat, there is
nothing left but a few floating
caps and splinters; if it misses the
immediate object, it raises column of
splash and spray like collision between a
cyclone and water spout This tribute
to the nautical powers of our neighbor
will, we hope, restore its complacency.
In the meantime we advise all the ships of
the line, and small privateers, to keep be-
yond range of the iron-clad as a vessel of
great weight of metal, and provided with
papers which demonstrate its ''immovable
neutrality" Better give the iron-clad a
wide berth.

A New Southern State.

The creation Of new States in the West is
no uncommon thing, and their admission
into the American Union has always been
met with friendly welcome by all parties
interested in the growth of our country and
the spread of its beneficent institutions.
The rapid increase of new States in the
West has wonderfully added to the political
power and material prosperity of that sec
ton of our country, and given it an in
fluence that can no longer be disregarded
by other and older sections of the Union
This influence has already manifested itself
in Congress, where each new State from
the West has added materially to its po-
litcal and legislative power by increased
representation. is in this way that the
vote of the West has been more than
doubled within the last half century, for #
must be remembered that with the addition
of each new State is added two new Sem
ators and increased representation in the
lower House. This increase of States in
the West has made it giant pioneer in de-
termining works of legislation, and grave
political questions of national and sectional
interest In this way the West has become
a powerful section of our country, and what
is there to prevent the South from profting
by the example! Nothing, if her people
have the wisdom to do as their Western
brethren have done, viz: create as many
new States as possible out of Southern ter
ritory. when such q course is practicable,
and has the sanction of law. It has been
made lawful by the act Of Congress annex.
ing Texas to the United States to create
four new States out of the territory thus
annexed; and, in view of this and the fur.

MATERIAL IDOLATRY.n

We have received the address of Hon.
J. H. Kennard before the Society of Alum
nj of the University of Virginia. The
thesis chosen is ''the Idolatry of Material
Progress" and the argument that this
| worship is like to make Americans for
get the principles of liberty upon which
the republic has been founded. 1t is true
pains are taken to explain that it is not
material progress but the abuse of its re-
suits that requires to be cautiously guard
ed. This, we must be allowed to say, is
a hard wire to walk. Material Develop
ment is ever accompanied with moral and
intellectual progress. The Jefersonian
system, which began in common school
and terminated in university, compre-
hended the importance of education as an
element of productive force. The
freedom of religion which overthrow
an exclusive doctrine and liberated all
devotion to manifest its own faith in its
own way, were the first steps in material
progress dependent upon popular intelli-
gence and freedom of thought. 1t will be
observed that in all modern nations politi-
cal power is in the direct ratio of the pro-
ductive force Of its material elements. We
may cite, for instance, England and Ger
many, the first of which maintains her
high position among nations by the ex-
tent Of her industrial pursuits alone. 1t
is the glory Of modern systems that the
researches Of the philosopher are rendered
practical by the application of the work
man. We do not care to attack anybody's
prejudices, but the astrologers and alche-
mists of an early day appear to have been
sordid and selfish set One wished to
secure an indefinite mortality, another to
create gold from the baser metals. Davy,
Faraday, Morse or Silliman have worked
with higher objects and more humane re-
suits.
When we have read invectives against
material progress or fits abuses, we ask
ourselves how it has been that the ship
builders and mechanics of England have
achieved so much for the moralities and
charities of the world? How Peabody
planted schools throughout continent,
Grinnell explored the Antarctic, Cooper
endowed education for the poor, or Bos-
ton sent thousands of dollars gained from
material industry to relieve the distant
and suffering poor of Louisiana?
Mr.. Kennard deduces from this worship
of material progress that in the opinion
of some "this is a government where the
minority is the slave of the majority p
There is, as we conceive, no logical rela-
ton between the premises and conclu-
sions. The doctrine taught by him who
founded the University of Virginia, was
that the majority does govern according to
the constitution which the majority makes
for its own government; for Mr.. Kennard
should remember that this majority is not
monarch who enjoys power in perpetu-
ity for himself and his posterity. The
citizen in the majority on one question,
or on one day, may be in the minority on
another question or at another day, so
that in protecting others the republican
protects himself. The majority does gov

ern in America. In effect it governs III
England and in Germany, since no form
of government, or, indeed, no measure OF
policy could be established in either IN
less with the approval of the greater NUM-
Der. It will, we suppose, be the same IN
volcanic France, so soon as the supremacy
of popular force can be demonstrated 1or
one mode of government or another.
It is, therefore, the duty Of all patriots
to qualify the majority for trust which
car not be taken away. Wealth, virtue
and intelligence possess much greater
powers in period of peace than in civil
W arfare. When questions are to be de-
cided by military force, the poor man who
can pass the recruiting sergeant becomes
at leas the equal of the superannuated
MILL onaire. 1t is better not to provoke
the majority to assert its powers in the
field, but to lead its docile legions by
kindly counsel and moral amelioratlon'
It is, indeed, material progress which en-
ables a minority in numbers to GUIDE the
policy of the greater number. Vander-
bilt, or Morgan, or the Levee Company
operating on the accumulated csentai or
estab lshed credit of material industry,
may govern the bread and suffrage Of
thousands. Abolish this material system,
and either of these sagacious conserva-
tives would possess as much power over
numbers as the Younger Brothers or any
other of the outlaws who can upset train
or pl under an express safe.
There are corruptions in this as IN
other governments, but they are not the
fruits of its industries nor Of its develop
ments. There has been corruption in all
other governments. Walpole, Richelieu,
Mazarin, Popes and temporal potentates
have been exposed for crime and cruelty.
The m ajority has been compelled to over
throw these minorities by bloody revolu-
ton. Here, however, the majority may en-
force it's administration without any such
deeds of violence. The majority which
abuses its power passes into the minority
and our reforms are bloodless.
We do not think, therefore, that the
evils of our government spring from the
progress of material industry, and We
fear that to teach that such is the case,
is not judicious at this period, nor in this
section. We agree with Mr.. Kennard
that crime and corruption should be
abated, but we do not think. it can be
done by closing primary schools, arrest
ing railr oads opposing manufactures, nor
attempting to bind the majority against
its acts. The hair of that Sampson has
grown again, and any attempt to bind
this American giant with green withes
will be futile.

LkBOR AND POLITICS,

The gossipy correspondent Of the Gal
weston Mercury in his letter published in
that paper on July 8. says: "The at
tempt to extinguish the darkey by turning
him out of employment, although con-
stantly advised, does not seem to be put
into practical operation" No one of
sense ever supposed it would be. The
movement was. simply an effort to de-
press the price of labor, and, if possible,
to control the vote of the State. 1t was
abortive, because the very men who pro-
posed it and sought to carry it out are
entirely dependent upon colored labor.
Though they may deny the colored men
political afiliation, yet their dependence
upon that race for the production of crops
is a matter of fact, and serious STUN
bling-block in the way of the White
Leaguers. -i"ta
People may gru,nble as they choose at
a condition of affairs that precludes them
from holding fat Offices; they will hardly
90 so far, however, as to starve them
selves to death on the plea of political
necessity.
Office and emolument are what those
opposed to the Republican. party are
striving for. To this end they sacrifice
not only every avowed principle, but even
their chances OF success In order to
effect nomination they throw overheard
men against whom their bitterest political
opponents could have nothing to say.

II. Mari in the eleventh ward, where he

Colonel A. P. Field, our veteran Attor-
ney General, called yesterday to bid US
good-by, previously to leaving the city
for one of the country parishes, where he
goes to take charge of an important
criminal case. Notwithstanding his re-
cent painful illness, the energetic Colonel
is yet giant in intellect, who is as well
come to an innocent man as he is terrible
to rogue. While we wish him a safe
and prosperous journey and speedy return,
we can not help but admonish the poor
sinner whose case he is going to investigate
that it is about time for him to fall to his
prayers. The veteran Colonel rarely ever
misses fire.

Judicial District, and Judge Boultt, par
ish Judge OF Natchitoches, are at present
in the city on personal business. They
represent the Republican party of Natchi-

tirely quiet, while the opposition is charg-

manner of expedients to break the Re-

that moderate counsels are likely to pre-
