That conquering army should desire
this seems but accordant with the spirit OF
a,geneTQus victor. That they should assem-

Intelligent leaders of their fellow-men, and
that ministers of a religion of peace and

President johnson on the New
Orleans Usurpation and MUIR
Being Interrupted III his speech at Sc:
Louis, by some. rowdy lawlingyeut "New
Orleans" President Johnson said:
Go on. Perhaps if yon had word or
two on the subject of New Orleans you
might understand more about itsthan you
de1 laughter and cheers. And if you
will go back cries for Seward l-ifyou will
go back and ascertain the cause of the riot
at5NewQrlea9s, perhaps you woulldnot pc 50
prompt in calling out T" New Orleans" If
you will take up the riot at New Orleans
and trace it back to its source, or to its i'm
mediate cause, you will find out who was
responsible for the blood, that was shed
there. If you will take up the riot at New
Orleans and trace it back to the Radical
Congress great cheering and cries Of
"Bully"l you will find that the riot at New
Orleans was substantially planned. IT you
will take up-the proceedings in their eau
cusses, you will understand that they
! then knew cheerSl that convention was
70 be called, which was extinct, by its pow
el' having expired; that it was said, and
the intention was, thatialnew jGovernment
was 20 be organized, and in the organiza-
ton OF that Government, the intention was
to eniranchise one portion of the pOpula-
ton, called the colored population, who
had Just been emancipated, and at the same
time disfranC hise white men. Great cheers.
When YOU b aginto talk about New Or
leans rconfuson liyou ought to understand
what yon are talking about. When you
read the speeches tila were made, or take
up the facts on Friday and Saturday before
that Convention sat, you will there find
that speeches were made incendiary in their
character, exciting that portion OF the pop
ulation-the black popul& tion-to arm
themselves and prepare for th shedding of
blood. A voice, That's So" and cheers
You will also find that that Conv antion did
/ assemble in violation of law, ana the IN
tentiOn of that Convention was to super
sede the recognized authorities In tile State
..,s.. IL
recognized by the Government of The
United States, and every man engaged il,
| that rebellion in that Convention, with the
| intention of superseding and upturning the
civil Government which, had been recog-
nizad by the Government of the United
States-I say that he was traitor TO the
| Constitution of the United States [cheers] /;
and hence you find that another rebellion
was commenced, having its origin in the
Radical Congress. These men were to go
there Government was to be organized,
and the one in existence in Louisiana
was to be superseded, set aside and over
thrown. ..- ....-...,. ....... ..rt ......., ....
Then the question was to come up when
they had established their Governments
hquestiou of political power-Which of the
two Governments was to be recognized? A
new Government was to be inaugurated
under this defunct Convention, set up in
IviOlation of law, and without the will of the
people. Then, when they had established
their Government, and extended universal
orimpartial franchise, as they called tito the
colorcd population, this Radical Congress
was to determine that Government estab-
lished on negro votes was to be the Govern
ment of Louisiana [Cries of Never" and
cheers and hurrahs for Andy.l So much for
the New Orleans riot, and there was the
cause and origin ofthe bloodthat was shed,
and every drop of blood that was shed is
upon their skirts, and they are responsible
