extinct by it powers having expired; that
it was intended that a new government
was to be organized and in the organiza-
ton of that, to enfranchise the colored
population, who had just been emancipa-
ted. and at the same time disfranchise the
whites When you design to talk about
New Orleans, you ought to understand

YOU read the speeches that were made, or
take up the facts of Friday and Satur-
day before that Convention, you will
then find that speeches were made incen-

portion of the black population TO arm
themselves and prepare for the shedding
of blood You will also understand that

ton OF law and the intention of that
Convention was to supersede the reor-
ganized supporters Of the State Govern
ment ofLouisiana which had been recog
nized by the Government of the United
