New Orleans Riots.


ga ID respectfully inform the Har-
ssSe Union that We wish to retract
pro-, I what We have said in regard to
the e of the New Orleans riots, and
weehavc no "doubts" upon that sub
oam.,ich need resolving. We believe
eve riot was occasion-d remotely by
siIion Of Congress in recognizing the
Asxratification of the constitutional
So Il by the bogus Legislature of
.sp$r and Immediately by the fear
~ course would be pursued in re-
s$" pretended action on the part
scsAs Convention of Louisiana. The
AxpS ionvention was .functuS c.tfcio,
sxat lie had no sort of right, moral
Enp reissemble as a constitutional
the M Tennessee Legislature, besides
the n.gus assembly from its first Or
nave, was without a quorum at the
Invent through the farce of pretend
10 ratify the constitutional amendment.
5,gress seized upon this miserable pre-
a, and admitted the Tennessee repre-
i~iDera''y a resolution declaring, in the
;mW:a facts, of the law, and of the
sun, that her Legislature had rati-
ssssSs.Ie amendment. The people of New
~ Orleans had no reason to doubt that, if
they permitted their bogus Convention to
~ through q similar farce, Congress
recognize the act as binding
upon The State. Under such circum-
stances it certainly is not surprising that a
aoH~ we're found in that large city who
1ssded their rights as too dear to be
ASh to the Radicals by such Il body of
. <.hn~opators against the public peace as
W composing the Convention. We de-
49,, Jthc fatal results of the riotous spirit
saroused, and have as little sympathy
mobs as the editor of the laion;
We are compelled to concede that the
of the case plead strongly in behalf
lc rioters. The Convention proposed
held in New Orleans was not merely
@sltta one as that now in session at Phila-
1ia, as the Radicals profess to believe,
was a body claiming the right to ratify
amendment proposed by Congress.
y did not expect to assemble simply
citizens, but as more than lawmakers
constitution trainers. Their arrogance
Id only be equalled in Virginia by the
ssembling of the Alexandria Convcn-
1 for the purpose of ~ratifying the same
aendmcnt. And whilst VIC do not sup
spose the Union would favor such a move
.mcnt, we have no reason to doubt that
THAD. STEVENS and his diabolical crew
IN you'd gladly recognize such a ratification
Is the act of the people of Virginia.
