United States and the principles of tn
declaration of independence.
| Mr.. Hamilton, Democrat, moved t.
amend this section by striking out tn
words "and make no distinction in civi
or political rights on account Of race o.
color, except Indians not taxed"
His argument was that no such condi
ton had ever been placed upon State aid
mission before. It was explained thai
Colorado would be the first State admit
ted since the adoption of the fourteenth
amendment Congress had now the
power Of legislation under that amend
ment Mr.. Bayard, Democrat, added a
reason for supporting the amendment
| That government had no right to place
such restriction as that contemplated by
| the bill upon the people of an incoming
| State: Colorado after being admitted
| would be in the Union free and equal; and
| any future generation might change the
organic law of the State without federal
interference.
Mr.. Bogy, Democrat, argued that the
new State would have the right to
cnange Its constitution at any time, and
Congress had no right to impose such a
restriction as the one proposed.
This Democratic amendment was voted
down, and the obligation to respect the
civil and political rights of all citizens
was incorporated in the text. For Mr..
Hamilton's amendment fifteen Democrats
and two Republicans voted
Mr. MorrilI iDoc,,h1;,on Ncuo,oa&, ia
ne was astonished at the tenacity with which
his Democratic friends insisted on striking
out any compact required for the admission
OF new State.
Senator Morrill, need not wonder at the
exposure Of Democratic purpose. The
Democracy plainly hope to repeal the per-
sonal guarantees given by the constitu-
ton to the colored people. They profess
on all occasions perfect acquiescence in
these guarantees, but as in the present
case, are unwilling to use any impeachment |
to future agitation embodied in any form
OF law whatever 1t is for this reason |
among others that the colored people can
have no confidence in the Democracy.
However, sugar-coated may be timid
phrases OF fe1low-citizenship, the colored
people can not help suspecting covert
purpose to repeal their political rights
md place them in quasi bondage again.
The rapid progress of opinion is shown
" the action Of Congress in this Terri
orial bill. Turn to the history of the
Missouri compromise and the contest over
he kansas-Nebraska Territorial bill.
What an advance when two new States
re to be added to the Union, pledged to
aspect the equal rights of all without re-
ard to color How has Democracy
Wlndled when but seven or eight States
ut OF thirty-seven can be rallied to the
email of this principle. Two of these
tates are Delaware and Maryland, neither
them very powerful in arms OR num-
ers. We apprehend that as the Democ-
ICY Shall continue to expose their pur-
oses, they will find the Representatives
hich they claim in Congress melting
way and taking the opposite side as in ,
rs proposal to prohibit q State from ,
the civil and political rights ,
every citizen without regard to past
ndition or present complexion. v

ton OF all in reforming existing and ad-
mitted abuses in the State and CITY laws
| and ordinances. Such were certainly the
motives which have actuated the REpUD-
| LicAN TO urge, even at the risk Of losing
some party advantages, such compro-
mise in letter anE spirit, as would be
mutually just and personally respectful to
men of all parties.
We do not choose to resent or act upon
the interpolated condition or the offensive
lntlnlations Of the lobbyists assuming to
represent the conservative people of Lou
isiana. We understand the very cheap
nosegay Of party abuse rendered by the
Picayane to appease the uncompromising
Democracy. We shall not be moved from
the dignity or justice Of our position by
unauthorized words which may be re-
voked or repudiated. These words neither
move Us nor Mr.. Packard. A politician
no more minds such partisan abuse than
dry hide minds a mosquito. But the
people are more sensitive, and seeing a
settled purpose to insult and overreach
them, the Republican people may recoil
from any adjustment whatever.
The compromise may, therefore, go on,
SO far as the REPUBLICAN is concerned,
but if any impeachment shall arise to it's
contamination, it will be remembered
that the intolerant agents of the Conserya-
tives insisted in the moment of adjust
ment that the Republicans must acknowl-
edge that they have treated, and will in !
future treat, the Conservatives as tyrants
and oppressors. If this violation of the |
spirit OF compromise shall repeal the
agreement and renew the combat; if the
ederal government shall bind the Offend
ng party to keep the peace under such
tringent obligations as will insure COM
'liance, We shall regret it greatly, but
hall consider that our efforts to prevent
uch calamity have been conscientiously
xercised and exhausted.

THEY RESIST POLITICAL EQUALITY.

There may be some doubt whether the
Estates Of CO dorado and New Mexico Will
be admitted at this session, because the
Senate amendments may send the bills
back to the lower House, where they may
be lost for want of time. So these Terri
tories may be disappointed in their aspi-
rations for the present. But the Senate
proceedings upon the passage OF the Col
orado bill are significant. The fourth Sec
ton reads as follows:
Provided, that the constitution shall be
hepupncan IN form and make no distinction
in civil or political rights on account of race
or color, except Indians not taxed. and not
be repugnant to the constitution Of the

to the opinion Of a recent convention OF

it gives the minimum of shade, greatest

The momentous question now is, will
the whole committee act, or will Mr..
Wheeler play it alone Mr.. Burke, one
of the pilgrims who has just escaped from
Washington and come home is so positive
that there will be small extra session of
the House in the persons Of all the men,
bers of the committee, that he telegraphed
to Mr.. Zacharie to find out whether he
was right or wrong
Upon this showing the Times assails
Marshal Packard with stilted abuse, and
pretty plainly intimates that when it comes
to question Of veracity between him and
Mr.. Burke, the marshal would stand no
sort of chance before "our people," Per-
haps he would not before the Times peo-
pie, but he would before ours, which are
much the more numerous and influential.
We have constituency greater than the
whole Democratic party of Louisiana,
while the politicians for whom the Times
volunteers stupid opinions are subject to
the discount of the claims of the Bulletin,
the PIC and the Bee, leaving an inconse-
quential fraction to back up the opinion
that Mr.. Packard's positive statement is
not so good as Mr.. Burke's surmise.

reporter goes on with the following absurd
and revolving charges:

reporter goes on with the following aosuIu
and revolving charges:
The case was laid before kellogg. and the
| usefulness of the two men as political tools
explained. The details were too revolving
to admit of pardon, so Kellogg instructed
his Judge to grant new trial. The jury
brought in a verdict-guilty without capital
| punishment. This was not what Kellogg
| ,ranted, and he ordered third trial, which
is now progressing. There was no doubt OF
the guilt of the two men; they confessed the
crime; yet they belonged to Kellogg's party
and he would not see them punished.
Then follows this version of the Sam
| Williams murder:
just after kellogg's great scare, when he
| claimed some one attempted to assassinate
him, he always rode in a closed carriage,
| accompanied by two desperate gamblers,
who acted as his body guard. A young
Creole, handsome, intelligent and rich, and
| a member of one of the Oldest French
families in the city. for some unaccountable
| reason, inspired Kellogg with a bitter hate.
One evening Armant (the young man) was
seated in a parlor quietly conversing with
the young ladies OF the house, when one Of
them screamed and pointed to the door.
There stood one Of helloggs gamblers point
ing pistol at Armant The young man
sprang to his feet but before he could pre-.
pare himself for an attack, the man fired,
the fatal bullet sped on its way and Ar
mant fell a corpse at the ladies' feet. Will
Eams. The gambler, ras arrested, tried and
convicted OF murder. The court sentenced
him to be hanged. But yesterday the rusty
door of his prison cell creaked on it's
hinges, the jailor stood there with paper
in his hand and beckoned Williams to come
forth. 1t was a pardon from Kellogg, md
the red HANDED murderer stepped into The
street tiee-tree to kill, free to murder,
whenever his master, Grants satrap,
pointed out the man to be slain.
When it is stated that no one ever &C
cused Governor Kellogg of riding in a car
riage with Sam Williams, Or with ever
having known Armand, the man killed
by Williams, the recklessness of this cor
respondent will be apparent. Our bust
ness men and laborers will see DISPOSE |
ton to represent the city in its worst con-
aition, in order that the federal admins |
tration may be overthrown, and the offices |
Of the State, the Custom House and Post
offices given to the politicians. To make
his correspondence more impressive, it is
headed "Kellogg's rule-Disastrous bust
less depression in New Orleans This is
he work Of our enemy" Will the work
ng men of New Orleans submit to it?
