WENDELL PHILLIPS ascended the plat
form and was met with the hostile de-
monstaations of the partisans of Austin,
who had just applauded 50 vociierously
his unfeeling and inhuman appeal to their
vile passions and tt..l viler prejudices.
Mr.. Phillips was then q young lawyer,
unknown to most present, who had gone
to the meeting with no intention of taking
any part in its proceedings. Though his
first words were met with boisterous OUT
cries, he expressed the hope that he

gentlemen lay down principles which
placed the murderers of Alton side by

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE LOUIS A n A N

In the endeavor to establish another
Pepublican journal in New Orleans, the
prOurietors of the LoUIsIASIAN, propose to
20 i'll necessity which has been long, and
sometimes painfully-felt to exist. In the
transition state OF our people, in their strug-
alinV efforts to attain that position in the
Body Polite, which we conceive to be their
due it is regarded that much information,
guidance encouragement, counsel and
reproof have been lost, in consequence of
the lack Of medium, through which these
Deficiencies might be supplied We shall
strive to make the LoUpIANLAN desideratum
in these respects
Semi-weekly Louisianian. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1871-1872, 1871-05-14
POLICY.

Al our motto indicates, the LoUIsIANIAN
shall be "Republican at all times md under
all circumstances" We shall advocate the
security and enjoyment of broad civil liberty
the absolute equality of all men before the
law, and Gn impartial distribution OF honor
and patronage to all who merit them.
Desirous Of allaying animosities, of
obliterating the memory of the bitter past,
Of promoting harmony and union among all
classes and between all interests, we shall
advocate the removal of all political
disabilities foster kindness and forbsarance,
where malignity and resentment reigned,
and seek for fairness and justice where
wrong and oppression prevailed. Thus
nnlted in our aims and objects, We shall con-
serve our best interests, elevate our noble
State, to an euviable position among her
sister States, by the development of her H.
Irritable resources and secure the full bene-
fits of the mighty changes in the history and
condition of the people and the country.
Believing that there can be no true
Liberty without the supremacy of law, we
shall urge strict aud undiscriminating
administration of justice.

GOV. ALCORN AGAIN.

When Gov. Alcorn Of Mississippi tele-
graphed to Washington that he was able
to arrest and punish the murderers in the
massacre at Meridian provided he could
discover them, we reminded him of the
case of Yerger, who is to-day at large in
jackson. Gov. Alcorn wrote Us long
letter in reply, to show that civil power
has been fully as effective as military
power in the suppression of violence"
and IN support Of his assertion he gave a
summary of what he represented to be q
list, furnished him by the State Auditor.
af all the claims allowed and paid for cor
oners' inquests This summary was as
follows, viz:
April to September inclusive). 1853. q muir
ders
October. 1869. to March. 1870 (inclusive). Al
murders.
April to September (inclusivs). 1870. 4s mur-
October, 1870, to March. 1871 tinclusive). 10
murders.
The first year of this period. being the
term of Gen. Ames's military administra-
ton, was made to appear in . most un-
favorable light in comparison with the
second year, being the term OF Gov. Al
corn's civil administration. Especially
he argued, is the second half OF each year
the best means Of comparing the work
ing retults of the two administrations,
and he pointed to his own statement Of
IL murders in the second half of Gen.
Ames's administration aud only lG MUIR
ders in the second half Of his own. We
called attention ct the time to remarks
BILE inconsisteuciesi his statement, which
We compared with = list furnished Us by
one of our correspondents
We now have before us the Official NJ
turn made by the State Auditor in COM
pliance with resolution Of the Missisip-
pi House Of Representatives,. which Is
even more complete than tine list furnish-
ed, and speaks more strongly than ours

and applause. "Sir," continued Mr.. Phil.
lips, "for the sentiments he has uttered
ON soil consecrated by the prayers Of the
Puritans and the blood of patriots, the
earth should have yawned and swallowed
him up" Here the uproar became great
and he could not be heard. William Stur-
gis, an eminent Boston merchant, ascend
ed the platform and placed himself by the
side of Mr.. Phillips; but he, too. was met
by the loud cries of the excited rioters,
Phillips OF nobody" was their fen dish
cry. make him take it back! He shan't
60 on until he takes it back" Obtaining
hearing, Mr.. Sturgis said: II did not
come here to take any part in this discus
sion, nor do I intend to; but I do intreat
you, fellow-citizens, by everything you
hold sacred, conjure you by every asso-
citation connected with this hall, conse-
Grated by our fathers to freedom of dis
cussion, that you listen to any man who
addresses you in a decorous manner.
Resuming, Mr.. Phillips firmly and
peremptorily declared that he could not
take back his words, and reminded the
excited throng that the attorney-general
needed not their Misses against one so
young, whose voice had never before been
heard in that hall. He closed his speech
with the declaration that "when liberty
was in danger Faneuil Hall had the right
and it was her duty to strike the keynote
for the Union; that the passage of the
resolutions, in spite of the opposition, led
by the attorney general, will show more
decidedly the deep indignation with which
Boston regards this outrage"
By this brave and brilliant speech, Mr..
Phillips, by one single bound, placed him
self among the foremost and most popu-
lar Of American orators position he has
maintained by the increasing sufrages of
the nation. Then began that advocacy Of
human rights, which for more than
generation he continued with tireless and
persistent zeal. To it he consecrated
culture, learning. and that marvellous
eloquence on which the multitudes Of
generation hung with never waning de-
light. Fearless and fierce even in his
of the wrongs Of the op-
pressed, he wns always merciless in his
castigation of the oppressor and his abet-
tors. Confident, too, in his own plans
and modes of action, he was, perhaps, too
