LOUISIANA
The Governor of Louisiana in his procIama-
tion calling together the Legislature of that
State on the 10th prox., gives the following
reasons for it:
Whereas. the election OF Abraham Lincoln
to the office CT President of The United States
by a sectional and aggressive anti-slayery
party. whose hostility to the people and the
institutions of the South has been evinced by
repeated and long continued violations of con-
siItutional obligations and fraternal amity
now consummated by this last lnsuita and ont
rage peTpetrated at and through the ballot
box, does, IN my opinion, as well as that Of a
large NUMBER of citizens of all parties and
pursuits, furnish an occasion such as is con-
templated by the Constitution and whereas
some of our sister States, aggrieved like ours
are preparing measures for their future secu-
q of thair 80,
and their people. and both patriotism and
the necessity OF self-preserYation require US to
deliberate upon our owr course of action, &c.
