The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1861-02-27

Ii appears that the Louisiana ordinance OF Sc
cessOn was not passed unanimously. The feel
ing Of the minority is very clearly expressed in
a protest submitted by Mr.. Taaterro, delegate
from the parish of Catahoua. We quote a pas
sage:
II oppose the act of secession, because by
separate secession the State relinquishes all its
rights within the government, IL surrenders is
equal rights to common Territories, to the last
public domain or the United States, and the pub
lie property Of every kind belonging to the ma.
ton. Aud for this reason oppose secession as
being ernpha,icaily submission.
Because secession may bring anarchy and
wa, as it will assuredly bring ruinous exac,ions
upon property in the form of direct taxation, a
whitening blight upon the prosperity OF the State,
and fatal prostra,ion OF all its great Interests
g Because the act of iissolving the ties which
connect Louisiana with the Federal Union is
revolutionary act that this Convention is of itself
without legitimate Pcwes to perform"

Il as in a very different spirit than that when

sen,ed the extracts we have quoted above,
said
IL, il said. sir, tina: the Republican party Is
opposed 10 the further extension OF slavery int
the free Territories Of the United States. This
ia true /; aud IL had the time, could read reso-
luton after resolution adopted by the Democrat
ic psIty OF the Northern States, in conventions
and Legislatures. in which they, TOO declared II
20 be the duty of the government TO oppose the
extension Of slavery Some Democratic cOsven-
tons and Legislatures went 20 TAR as TO declare
il 10 be their ultimate design To eradicate slavery
from the States where i how exists, By restrict
ing III further extension, and such other Lawful
means a. might lead to lis extinction. II oppo-
sit:on TO the further spread OF slavery Is nor
a cause for overthrosing the government, was II

go on as usual The intention of the Convention
TO take tsis course was known to Us some DAYS
