SOLID TESTIMONY.
An Appeal to the North from Northern
Representatives in New Orleans.
What they Have to Say Touching the
Recent Outrage on the People.

I
] To The People Of the North:
New ORLEANS, December -, 1S72.-
! The undersigned representatives OF
houses in the North, doing business with
| the South, who have been visiting New
Orleans for many years past, and at pres
ent, and are thoroughly conveTsant with
the political feelings of the people OF
| this section, wish to express our opinion
at this critical jUncture of affairs.
Visiting New Orleans at q season when
the city is usually full of activity and
| life, we find every channel of trade par
alyzed, the Statehouse occupied by
troops, the officers of the State threat
ened and intimidated, and the people
cast into the deepest gloom by the arbi-
trary usurpatiOn of power and place by
political adventures, backed by a United
States Judge, who has called in the as
sistance of United States troops to exc
cute his DEGREES.
After an election which we believe to
have been conducted as fairly and hon
estly as any in which the American
people ever participated, finding them
selves beaten by large majority of the
votes of the citizens of this city and
State, this INSCRIPTIONS and iTTespOnsi-
Die body of men have TesOrted to trick
cry and violence to defeat the execution
of the will of the people as thus ex-
pressed.
Believing this action the greatest out
rage ever attempted to be carried out in
our country, and one which tends di-
rectly to the overthrow of the liberties
of the people, and to destroying the
power and sacredness Of the ballot-box,
we hereby enter our solemn protest
against the high-handed action, and APP
peal to our fellOw-citizens of the North
TO ute in protesting to Congress and
the President, to Il e end that the legally
elected officers of the State may be in
stalled in Office, and the people of the
community supported in their efforts to
exercise the right of franchise, that they
may redeem their State from the bank
ruptcy and ruin with which it is now
threatened through the action of these
nameless adventures.
