PROSPECTUS
OF
The LOuisianian.

In the enLeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANIAN,
propose to fill necessity which has
h.eu lonl. and sometimes painfully
,lt to exist. In the transition state
ofourpeoplr, in their struggling efforts
10 attain that position in the Body
Polite. which We conceive to he their
Lle. it is regarded that much infor
mation. guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, III
consequence of the lack of Il medium,
through which these Deficiencies might
be- supplied. We shall strive to make
the LotIsIANIAX deSi,lr,ufom in these
respects.

Against thy plenty: wh0takes thy ready

And pays thee naught but Wishes, bopes,

REVOLUTIONS AND ADDRESS ADOPTED
By THE REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION.

Reslred, That we declaes the Re-
publican party of Louisiana in full
sympathy with the National Repub-
lican party; that We indorse the
platform OF principles laid down by
the Chicago Convention. IL.
Resotred, That we believe that the
congressional measures of recon-
struction have proved complete
success in our State. We indOrse
those measures and all laws of Con
gress enacted in the interests of or
der and civil liberty. We believe
that ii honestly and fairly executed
these statutes will conduce to the
prosperity of the Sonth and to the
strengthening of Republican insti-
tutions. ............
. Resoice'l, Thai We especially in
dorse those planks in the Republi-
can platform which pledge our par
ty to the faithful payment of the
public debt.
ResoIoel, That we advocate the
reduction of national taxation, and
" redistribution of the imposts in

especially indorse and commend
the official career OF our governor,

cause, in Onr opinion, his admins
tratiOn of the government OF Louis-
iaca under reconstruction has been
so successful as to bring about the
of peace and order which
characterizes our State above all
the other Southern States. BY
reason of the execution of the laws
it is possible for Republicans to as
semble in any part of the State and
the Republican party consequently
presents united front and COM
pact organization.
Resoired, That we pledge our par
ty to the reduction of taxation, and
we insist upon an economical adj

priatiOns to individual enterprises,
and we urge upon the Legislature

icty of reasonable and wise appro-
priations by the State to internal
improvements. We call upon the
national Congress to give to the
South its full quota of aid and as

that We are entitled to an appupri-
alton to assist in opening the mouth
OF the Mississippi and III construct

Who hoyc the flag of our Nations, trust,

Ard died Tor me and you.

From many II grave that lies so lone,
Without II name and without n stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is their li'clcss clay!
Whether unknown, or known, to fame
Their c,,usc and country still the same
They dicd-and wore the moy.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled 81 20 By side
Why should the hand Of Death divide
y single heart from llcalt'
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody Tray;
Just as they fell on the bat tie day
Bury them brcrst to breast.
The focman need not dread
This gathering of the brave; -, ,,o,.
Without sword or flag. and with souhu'eSS
We muster once MORE our deathloss deau

Wc bring to wrcathe each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead.
