Form Of Reclamation.

az II is a principle. of law that, with reference
10 The form of expressing a required declara-
lion, The largest liberty shall be allowed which
is consistent with i~nielligibili'y and reasonable
brcviiy. The present State Constitution does
not prescribe the precise words 10 be used in
making The recanta'ion required from certain
citizens by Article 80 before they can vote.
ANY phraseo!ogy which should intelIigibly ex-
press the declaration which, under this article,
must be subscribed, filed in The office of The
secretary Of state, and published in the State
paper, would be in satisfactory conformity with
the terms Of the Constitution. MANY recan.
'tations have already been made withon, re-
ference TO any infexibIe form. Nevertheless,
,ilc Legislature has seen proper to pass an act
providing a form 10 be used in snch cases, and
simply as q matter of convenience it will
doubtless be advisable for all to adopt it who
may be called on by political and patriotic du.
~ to add their names TO the list of recantcrs.
Aud this list need not be a vc,y large one. BY
the Constitution none are required to recant
who arc prepared to declare on oatl, that,
2a befote the list of January, 1868, they f,yo.ed
compliance with the reconstruction acts of
Congress and aided1l,e efforts of loyal man to
restore Louisiana to her position in the Union.
- Now there is in law no middle ground between
compliance and non compliance. between ODE.
dience and disobedience, between resistance
and non-resistance And who in this State have
refused TO comply with the reconstruction
acts? Who in this State have resisted The
reconstruction acts? II there be any such,
they are, assuredly, not 10 be found among
our conservative citizens, not among that class
elegantly and classically denominated Srebels'
in scalawag and carpet-bag literature, whose
II behavior in relation 10 the reconstruction acts
s was marked by a compliance, an obedience, a
nor. resistance, as remarkable as those acts
were 10 them distasteful and abhorrent. I, is
true that the theory of that legislation has
peen IN this State notably contra vcned-but
only by those Radicals who have favored the
continuance Of military despo,ism when, &C.
fprding TO This theory, The State was ciyilly7 re-
constructed, and the military subordinate TO
3 The civil authority. And who are the ..loyal
men, who have co-opetaled in efforts to
restore Louisiana to her position in the Union 7
IN law every ciliZeu i presumed 10 be loyal

until The contrary is judicially established.
All our conservative citizens arc. therefore,,
loyal, for none Of them rest under a Judicial
decree Of disloyal,y. And i, is safe TO assume
that all OF them have aided, as they havs
earnestly desired, 10 restore the State to her
position in tho :Union. Nor is the oa,l, in
question, OF the recanta,bn bch,c meuli,onnerd,
required of any but those who held Office, civil
or military, for one year or more under the
Confederate States, or registered themselves
as enemies, or acted as leaders of %gncrril'a

According TO the foregoing conclusions, per
