Southron is a regular reader of McMaster's "Freeman's Journal." He buys the copies there rather than have the "Journal" sent to him through the mail as all such things are watched in New Orleans. Southron received the last publication of the "Freeman's Journal" on the 11 inst. He noticed at that time that McMaster's New Orleans correspondent wrote as if he knew something of the existence of the document a printed copy of which with the names of the executive committee of the association Southron now encloses to McMaster. He tells McMaster that the names which are marked with a dash designate those who were originally the most active and zealous in the cause. But when the United States forces had no sooner taken possession of New Orleans than they showed the white feather and began to look out for fat offices by taking Butler's oath of allegiance and making abolition speeches. Most of them succeeded admirably and now hold office under the federal government from Congressmen down to city police. Southron asks that if McMaster publishes the enclosed document he omit the names not marked with a dash. He would like to see the names of the turn-coats appear at the bottom of a printed page of the document in order that the government might know how reliable their officials are in New Orleans. But Southron adds that these same men would doubtless find some excuse for their actions of the past and begin to find some other new and easy way to make a fortune. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
