TUESDAY',:: JULY 18, 186$
We had the pleasure y este
day of a call from Mr. J ewell, w
in years past published and edit«
the Pointe Coupee Echo. He is an
able writer and a clever gentleman»
and we hope he will succeed in the
effort be is making to re-establish
his paper.
The Question of Labor .—We
make room to-day for one of the best
written articles on the question of
labor which has yet come within the
province of our perusal. It is the pro
duction of a gentleman of this vicinity,
who theoretically and practically has
had rare opportunities for studying
the subject of which he treats in all
its bearings, and who, from a happy
commingling of literary tastes and
agricultural pursuits, shows himself
as felicitous in the cultivation of the
pen as he is in the cultivation of the
soil.
The protean shapes which this
question of labor has been made to
assume since the overthrow of the
old system, render it one of extreme
difficulty to adjust satisfactorily at
the outset. This was naturally to
be expected as a sequence to that
mighty convulsion which has termi
nated in the abolition of slave labor
and substituted in its stead an incho
ate set of plans and experiments,
which time alone, after a thorough
sifting, cau reduce to anything like
fundamental shape or order, in their
practical workings. The views ad
vanced by our correspondent, appear
to meet the issue in a manner which
commends itself to the earnest atten
tion of our people.
Our next Legislature will doubt
less have much of its attention occu
pied in the deliberation of matters
connected with this absorbing ques
tion, and we hope to see the mem ht
of that body fully prepared to meet
it with all the wisdom and intelli
gence which its importance will de
mand. They will have much valua
ble data to draw from in the many
suggestions and propositions which
are daily offered by thoughtful minds,
which must materially aid them in
the perfection of their plans for a
more reliable and enduring system of
labor in our State.
We publish by request the
editorial beluw, which appeared in the
columns of this journal on the 20th
April, 1861, referring to our ancient
colored population who signalled
themselves by their valor in helping
ßuccessfully to defend Now Orleans
against the attack of a foreign l'oe.
It is of record, that those colored
veterans, by the excellent character
they have ever borne in ail their rela
tions towards the people and the Gov
ernment, have merited and received
their fall meed of praise and respect
from the white population ;
T hb F ree C olored M en.— A
number of this class of our population,
fully identified with us in all our in
terests, are inquiring to know what
they can do to give evidence of their
loyality aud devotion to the State un
der whose laws they live and enjoy
protection in their lives and property.
] q answer, we can say on our own
account, that they will be called upon
at the proper moment, to give new
evidence of that bravary and devotion
for which they were dietinguiahed
when a foreigu power invaded our de
niiuion in '14 and '15.
The New Orleans Picayune
says : "We have seldom seen as large
an assemblage of steamboats at our
levee in the best of times, as there is
now and have been for some time
since, indeed for the last two months.
This is certainly encouraging. If
fences cau be restored, cabins rebuilt,
the perversely idle weeded out, and
the industrious put to work iu the
country, we will return ere long to
most of our former prosperity. The
land is as rich as ever, all it needs is
industry to be applied. If we have
it not here we must procure it."
Reprehensible Partyism.
There are many people who can-1
not live or breathe outside of party.
With many this necessity arises
from an excess of cotnbativeness, a
love of strife and a distrust of all
who may have the perversity or te
merity to differ from them. With
others the devotion to party is sim
ply an offshoot or phase of selfish
ness, which seeks to promote per
sonal ends through political combi
nations and popular associations.—
To these general motives for party
organizations and sources of parti
san passions, we have in thiscouu
try, another stimulus in the habits
and antecedents of our people. It
has been considered a duty and ne
cessity of manhood in this country
to belong to some party. He who
does not succumb to this general
demand and expectation, is too of
ten regarded as a hypocrite or a
cold-blooded neutral. He is more
frequently a true potriot, a gentle
man and honest man, who revolts
from the petty squabbles and sel
fish schemes of small politicians and
designing spoils-seekers. Party or
ganizations aud party contest^,
founded on high principles and im
portant questions of policy, couduc
ted by manly and upright means
and free discussion, will and ought
always to exist in every enlighten
ed community. No good citizen
should remain neutral in such di
visions, should be without opinions j
on ail subjects of moment to the
welfare of the people and the ad
ministration of the Government.
The party divisions and organisa
t.ions which are the bane of our
country, and the disgust of all high
minded citizens, are those*which $re
created and fostered by men who
are in pursuit of office and spoils,
and cat iug nothing for principle, or
public policies, or the honor and in
terests of the country, set to work
to divide the people upon questions
of nationality, of antecedent and ex
tinct issues upon old prejudices of
birth, race or religion. These are
the parties that ought to be frown
ed down by all good men. At this
momentous aud critical time in our
history, it behooves our peoj
rise superior to all these prejudices,
and to be oil their guard against
these arts of demagogues and fac
t'J
tionists.
There are those who seek to keo|
ali ve old distinctions and divisions
among our people upon questions
that are definitely settled. This
can be done for no useful or proper
purpose. Its only motive is re
verge .»f unnecessary and baneful
agitation. The termination of the
war .should close all these old issues
and accounts, Good faith requires
of both parties iti the .recent strife
to forget and forgive. The restora
tion to citizenship of those wbo a
few months ago wert; treated and
regarded as rebels, gives them
equal rights with all-other citizeus.
They should sutler no prejudice or
ostracism lor their previous acts,
nor should thev seek to excite or
. . .. .. .
keep alive any such leelitiir« or de
i.i i i
signs against those who may have
opposed their original scheme.
Above all, let our people beware
of party divisions, founded upon
sectional feelings and prejudices of
race, origin aud birth place, etc.—
A great deal of thoughtless non
sense and bigotry has lately found
vent in certain quarters about the
comparative claims aud rights of
old residents and new comers. We
might suppose, from the earnest
ness and vigor with which the self
constituted champions of these two
imaginary combatants assert the
superior and exclusive pretensions
of tbeir particular party, that there
was really a fierce combat, a direct
issue made up between our new and
old citizens, which would be fought
a V outrance ; that our <Md citizens
were conspiring to shut out from
all political, social und commercial
rights and advantages, all those
citizens who had the misfortune to
come to this city a little later than
themselves ; that immigrants and
settlers coming here with capital,
industry, energy and talent, so far
from being welcome, would be re
garded with prejudice and suspicion.
On the other hand, it is pretended
that our old citizens, who have long
been identified with the city, who
have endured the perils and priva
tions of long residence, have here
fixed their homes and affectioi.s, are
about to be ignored and reduced to
insignificance, by a swarm of au
dacious Vandals, from Europe or the
North, who will run rough-shod
over them.
All this is simple old womau's
prattle. There is no such design or
spirit pervading any respectable
class or influencing the opinions
and feelings of any just mind in our
community.
Such ideas cau only be found im
printed on the lens through which
demagogical agitators view all the
j utterances and actions ot the peo
1 pie. They Tiave no existence in tbe
people. They have no existence in
the minds or hearts of the people
themselves. The interest and wel
fare of our city depend alike upon
the devotion, the labor and the tal
ent of both new comers and old resi
dents. When they are equal ander
the constitution and the laws, he is
no friend of the city who would seek
to excite prejudices and beget ine
qualities and jealousies between
them. Whilst all who come among
us with good purposes—not as ad
venturers, spoils seekers and plun
j derers, of which -there have been a
j series, whose atrocities surpass
those of Attilla and Pizarro—not as
mere party managers, having their
residence and interest elsewhere,
aud only coming here to interfere
with the affairs of a people presum
ed to be competent to regulate the
same themselves without foreign
aid ; whilst ail who come in good
faith, to make this their home, their
permanent place of residence, will
always be most cordially welcomed
and invested with rights, privileges
and duties equal to those of any aud
every other citizen, it is not incon
sistent with feeling, nor with rea
j son, good sense aud experience, that
i 0 |d citizens, of long residence, of
tested honesty and merit, aud fa
miliur acquaintance with the his
tory and circumstances of the State
and city, should be largely deferred
to and" their views regarded with
great respect upon all subjects re
lating to political and social organi
zation arid administration.— N. O.

The New Labor System.
There is perhaps no single characteristic
of the Americau people wliich excites more
wonder aruong European nations than the
ease with which we adapt ourselves to the
great and startling changes which the ine
vitable progress of events is perpetually
producing in our social system.
The power of muscle is supplanted by
steam, changing in manufactures and lo
otiou tho entire machinery of the
world ; the slow-coach system of carriers
I for the transmission of intelligence is, at a
sniffle step, displaced by the lightning,
j t
han<l-ctit «h is supplanted by the merry
song of the treadle, and »till the great na
iou move» ou, strengthened by every
change, and challenging the world to out
strip in improvements the facility with
which we adapt ourselves to them. Each
change referred to, and many others which
it is needless for ug now to enumerate,
have neen thought by the wise to mark
important crises in the history of our na
tion, scarcely second in importance to the
resolutions that have shaken the world to
its centre.
Vet with *o much ease have we con
formed to the changes incident to them,
that wo have almost persuaded ourselves
and the world that no change has ever
been inaugurated, but that we have al
ways been accustomed to the new order of
things. Such a crisis Is now upon us; one
j moie important m its effect# and pena
: -, v .i ^ ,
trating in its changes, than any that have
preceded it, and we trust the people of this
aud our sister States will prove themselves
equal to the emergency.
We refer to the great ohange that is now
being wrought in our Labor System.
A fter four years of war we return to oar
homes with but one important question
settled, viz : That we will cease fighting,
and devote ourselves to the pursuits of
peace. The desolation of our home», the
green graves of onr comrades, tho uproot
ing of our old system of labor, though sad
and heartrending in themselves are but
incidents of the war, are matters of the
past which we can never hope to recall.
Our business is with the present. As
sensible men, and children of our fathers,
it is becoming in us not to waste our time
in mourning ovpr our fallen fortunes, not
eveu to compare tho present with the past,
nor yet to be inactive because we cannot
restore our institutions to their original
state; but to endeavor by every means in
our power and as speedily as possible, to
erect from the debris of matter around ub
as fair and symmetrical a structure as our
means will allow; congratulating our
selves the while that the fire has not fallen
upon the ruins, but that a portion of the
original material is left u«.
What, then, is our "Inventory of Stock?"
We have our lands—which, though some
w * lat neglected during the past four years,
have yet sustained no permanent injury
the more fortunate have their buildings,
their stock and their farming utensils,
articles which, when once lost, can be re
placed, and will be in time, either by our
own or another's capital; we have also
most of the same laborers who formerly
cultivated our fields. The losses wo have
sustained are the removal of our movabla
property, the destruction of our buildings
and the demoralization of our field hands.
The latter is the one that particularly in
terests us at the present time.
The question evidently is, "How can we
best conduct our plantations under the
present 'Free Labor System 2'" The di
versity in the extent of the damages sus
tained by the different planters renders it
extremely difficult to generalize. Each
one will in a greater or leas degree ba con
trolled by circumstance until he gradually
rises again to independence. Bnt, upon a
few general points we each have a com
mon interest. These are—
1st. No wages should be paid the laborer
till the end of the season and then in pro
portion to the service rendered, and the
result of such service.
2d. Each hand should be made to un
derstand that if he leaves his employer
before the expiration of his time of service,
or is discharged for neglect of duty, he
will in every case forfeit all compensation
for service rendered.
3d. The discharge of unfaithful hands
should be prompt and inevitable.
4th. Each planter should, both for his
own and the general good, maka the stan
dard of submission and labor as high as
possible.
Sth. The rules for the regulations and
discipline of hands on plantations formerly
in force should be revived as far as is pos
sible under existing regulations. The
penalty for the non-obaervance of these
rules being now a prompt discharge, or for
minor offences, forfeiture of pay.
It will be noticed that none of these sug
gestions conflict with the regulations now
in force for the government of hands, and
in general, that the new regime used differ
from the old in no respect save in the man -
ner of enforcing discipline. This is indeed
a vital point and we would frankly con
cede, that unions the planter can control
his labor fully, every effort to make a crop
either of cane or cotton would inevitably
fail. Nor do we expect that tho new sys
tem of things will be inaugurated without
inconvenience und in some cases actual
loss. But, in the inauguration of this sys
tem, the planter is aided by tho unvarying
law of nature, which in time ti«ver fails to
give the intellect control over matter and
hence, he must in the end succeed.
The relations of two races of men upon
whom the Almighty has stamped a life
long inequality cannot be permanently ef
fected by legislation or emancipation acts.
As futile would be an act to emancipate
the white races from their social responsi
bilities. The relation may indeed be call
ed by a new name and in minor points be
regulated by new laws, but in the one im
portant point of inequality and control, the
question is beyond the reach of human
enactments.
It requires then, no prophet'« eye to read
tho future- The recuperative powers of
this nation are inconceviably strong. Be
fore this decadeshall be completed wecon
fidently expect to see the immense resources
of this country once more pouring wealth
into the treasury of the world, developed
by the same labor under control of the
Bame minds as formerly. Machinery too,
will lend its aid ; the steam plough and
other inventions of the age will more than
compensate for any defects in the new sys
tem ; and we will be once more a happy
and a prosperous people. XX.
