lana. The Tribune correspondent
"E. V. s." who las been dcv"Ilng
much time TO the political affairs OF
Louisiana, asserts that there are
abundant signs of the disin'egra'
ton of the Nichols party within u
fortnight after it should come into
possession of the State Government.
The Conservative party is made up
Of two elements, Liberal Democrats
aud Irrccorcilablcs. The former
will constitute n new party which,
those who claim TO belong to IL say,
will he in cordial support of the
President in his Southern policy.
This party will also declare in Ia
v0r of a full recognition Of the civil
and political rights OF the colorrd
people, u determination with the
Republicans of the North. Its lead
.rs will be drawn from the most lib
eral, enterprising and practical men
of the cities and towns, the large
planters in tho country parishes
and the intelligent property holding
colorcd men throughout the STATE.
In opposition to this party, the cor
respondent states, will be the other
elcmcnt-,he real Democrats OF til"
State, to whom the epithct "Lasr
Di,chcrs" is still applied. They are
stecpcd in BourbOnism, they ablIor
negro suffrage, oppose the ednca.
ton of tue blacks, and would re-
luce them to Il condition no better
than the old scrvitudc of slavery.
The Northern affiliations of these

the ultra Democracy, and with that
element they will form a hOmogen.
