Whereas. During many years past asso-
Citations and large bodies of citizens in the
non-slavehodlng States have evinced and
carried ont the steady purpose Of assailing,
by all the means they can employ, the pc
culiar institutions of the Southern States,
and have aided The attack by viiuperatiye
addresses and speeches, by abolition peli-
Iions 10 Congress, by inAamatory dis
courses, and by exaggerated appeals to the
Preiudices and passions OF the ignorant AID
ianaticaI
Aud Whereas Much sympathy has been
exhibited and encouragement given in the
non sIaveholding States to bands Of Iawless
rufians making attacks upon the slavehold-
ing States, and endeavonng TO incile in>
surreclion among the slaves:
And Whereas. A formidable and pow
erfu parry, called Republican, existing ex-
cusiveIy, With slight and Insignificant ex>
ceptiOns, ia The non-slaveholding States,
has proclaimed that Slavery shall be probib
lied by action of Congress in the Territories
thus showing a deliberate hostility to the
South:
And whereas, Many OF the non. slave
holding States have passed laws with The
design and with the effect OF embarrassing
and nraveD linz ~ o-,or,,f,, f -. -
of the Constitution aud the laws OF Con-
gress passed in accordance herewith, in
regard TO The retaining of might've slaves
thus .rampIing on one of the clearest and
most valued rights secured lo The Souh by
the Constitution and laws:
Aud Whereas TIE election of Abraham
Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin 10 the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency has given just
cause oil alarm 10 all the Citizens OF lhe
South and requires their delerm med, Wig.
orous and united action 10 The principles
which i is believed will guide The admin

And Whereas. We feel, as citizens o.
Louisiana, that our rights have been invad-
ed, our opinions outraged aud our iuSlilu-
lions imperiled by ibe triumph and aui-
tnde OF sectional party:
And Whereas, The danger which pre-
sents itself TO US is one we share in COM
mon with all the slayeholding States, and
appears in a shape which lorblds US 10 sep
arate ourselves al The present perilous iuac-
lure from the other slareholdiug States
bot on The contrary, impeIs and requires us
10 tender 10 them our own, and seek their
sympathy and co operation therefore, De it
Re,OtUsd. That the time has come which
demands prompt and vigorous action on the
part OF the South 10 assert and maintain he.
rights. and TO proclaim to the world that
she viii no longer sebmit 10 The evils winch
environ her.
Resoled, Thai we are in favor of
thorough cooperation of the sIavehoIding
States in the crisis which has been thrust
npon US, both in order that we may pre-
sent an uncrokel front in the ma,nieuance
of rights in which all have an eqnal inter-
est and that in case Of revolution we may
Immediately form new government, and
avoid an inieueenum, with lis disquiei,
denbt and insecurity.
.ResotUed, That we are .opposed to all
eparaie and hasty State action ,sbelieving
that it will tend to defeat or delay co-opera
ton, aud prevent a thorough union OF
Southern sentiment

Of lhs people TO selecI men to represent
them in the convention, of ability honor
and known devotion 10 the Souih, ard IT. at
