made any change in the distribution Of troops through
out the State9 Have not the various military posts
remained unchanged since the day when the civil gov
eminent of Louisiana was declared supreme, and the
State turned over to the tender merces of the carpet
| bag faction? What change has been SINCE accom-
plished9 Is it true that the laws have been Violated
If So by whoms Has intolerance, persecution, NAL
| ice hatred vindictivencss or revenge disturbed the
harmony of our people2 True, Gen. Buchanan has
ceased to exercise any power in domestic concerns
but he is present in New Orleans and present by his
subordinate officers throughout the State. Has he re-
ceved any Of the alarming information upon which
Governor Warmoth recommends the Legislature to
appeal to the Commanding General of the armies OF
the United States for troops? and after the Legisla
ture has complied with his written recommendation
discovers that there is such instrument the Con
stitution of the United States, and that the Chief Elk
ecutive of the nation is the authority to be addressed
Whence comes all this alarm, these idle fears? Do
they exist only in the excited imaginations Of Gov
| Warmoth and his friends? Has conscience made COW
ards of them all? We Indignantly repel all the ale
cations Of the party in power Our people are quiet
and peaceful, and intend to remain so. Speaking
for the northern and western portion of the State we
declare that armed organisation have no existence
| among True, our people are politically excited
with the and certain prospect of their emancipa
ton from the POLITICAL partisan rule of usurpers who
do represent and now seeking to perpetuac
their power by the most INDUSTRIOUS and criminal legis
ation which seeks to enrich themselves while impov
erishng the State and ruin their eolored dupes by
arrayng them in hostility to the whites. But we are

and anarchy We have heard of no acts of violence,
which all be traced to the general sentiments or

in peaceful assemblies to organise for the support

their devotion to the great principles of the Constitu
ton, whose triumph under the Democracy will restore
in complete harmony with all portions Of the Tn

met in secret meetings, nor have we met as armed
bodies. We have discouraged and shall continue to
do So the cultivation manifestation of any sent-
ments disposition the part of Our people incon-
sisent with good government the peace, order and
happiness Of society. EmphatioaIy there armed
organisations existing contemplated The Ku Klux
is nursery story Intended to brighten little children
Even the infants in arms have ceased to believe in their
existence, and need no Infantry n-arms to sup
press them. We have fear that the. President Of
the United States will place any credence in Gov.
Warmoth's report. We still believe that he will de-
sire to hear from Gen. Buchanan.
The proposed measures of legislation will undeceive
the people of the North and West. The Radical con-
stabulary or militia organisations though estab
lished by law, will cause alarm. The Congress
of the United States has not dared to insult the intel
ligence of the people by adopting similar legislation,
and has adjourned to permit Warmoth and his party
to educate the country up the level of their wicked
purposes and cowardly alarms. But the monstrous
printing scheme of plumber and monopoly will attract
the attention of the people of the whole country, and
enable them to understand the true purposes OF the
party in power, while the noble and enduring attitude
of our people under burdensome and odious govern
of taxation spoation and plumber without repre-
sentation will awaken in the public heart that deter
mination for speedy relief which will forever free
US from Radical rule, and from a thraldom which

We cannot avoid smile Of good humored amuse-
ment while comparing valiant Governor with the
renowned Fastal of chivalrous memory. Say our
dispatches:
A member of Gov Warmoth's staff, just arrived
from louisiana says if the President does not respond
to the call for troops which the Governor will make,
in compliance with the resolution just passed by the
Legislature the State will be practically in rebellion
He says the part Of the State is wholly under
the control of the Ku-kux kan who ride about open
ly by daylight Several Of the former rebel cavalry
regiments have been IeOrganised and called Seymour
Knights" and the infantry companies Blair Guards
