mary Of the preamble and resolu-
tlOnS:
Whereas, Certain measures have
been introduced into the General
| Assembly of the State of louisa
ma, which proposes to give to the
Executive of the State the control
of elections and the admiuistra-
ton of Justice, and TO establish an
armed aud informal militia sub
ject to his orders; to confer upon
private corporatofs exclusive priv
iieges and State aid. to an extent

men to impoverish us upon the
one hand and enslaye us on the
other; that the conStabulary, mill
| tary, registration aud election
bill will destroy freedom of cleo
tions, and make the Governor an
! absolute despot, clothing him with

desire to maintain the credit and
honor of the State, and will cheer
fully submit to any taxation that
may be necessary to pay the prin
cipal and interest of every debt
of the State that has been honest
ly and fairly contracted, yet there
is d point beyond which we can
not and will not go; aud we nov
give notice to the world that We
intend to use all the means in eul
power to prevent the payment o
any bonds or other obligation o
the State which may hereafter b.
frandulently issued, or obligations
the issue of which is not indispen
SADLY necessary for the proper ad
ministration of the State Govern
ment; and that We intend to maxi
this a paramount question at tht
next election, and will vote for III
