NEW ORLEANS, Jan. "a, 1873.
DEAR SIR;
It was extremely gratifying TO learn
that the Federal Council Of the lnterna-
ttonai are work ing with such great yea,
and pushing on the work Of spreading the
grand work Of Internatiohalittn. let me
assure the Cou neil that the working meh
of this country and oil over the world are
fast coming to the conclusion that some,
thing 10 wrong, that something needs 10
be radically changed, and they are fast
getting to that state OF desperation when
tho manner in which il Is TO be changed will
be no object to them. Whether 1t Is to be
done by the sword, the torch or the pen, it
is TO be done. 1t is my opinion that unless
the condition Of that "nobleman Of nature, '
the workingman, is, speedily ameliorated
by peaceful measures, that It will be more
speedils ameliorated in such bloody man.
ner, that il will shake the esrthto its very
center and strike terror to the hearts OF
the ''moneyed Hing" and tyran's, The
workingmen are already looking around
for something firm, for something that re-
ally advocates the true principles lof the
laborer, for something that sets for 'h their
rights and duties, and l am glad to see
them gradually recognizing in the prin-
oiples of the international Workingmens
A $500 ion the true way to liberty. That
prejudice which exists, against tho Inter
naiion.l is disappearing, and the time is
not far distant when they will rueh en-
mass into the organization, and plant
themselves firmly beneath our blood req
flag, and declare themselves on our side
the side Of enlightenment and OF true re,
form against separation and tyranny, ,
hear around me every day in the hot PED
of political corruption the murmurs OF dls'
content among my fellow -laborers. iney
see their substance and products being
swallowed up by politicians and capital
lists, and they naturally feel that longing
for freedom from such state Of cursed
oppression which they are subjected TO-,
and tell you that nothing would he TOO
hot or heavy in the hands Of these down
strodden laborers if once they were aroused
to sense Of the injustice which they SUI
fer. The capita lists and property holders
are already shaking in their boots, but
the workingmen should sthrow: them down
the gauntlet and cry, "Come on, ye ~
rants, and let US balance accounts that
have run on from generation to
generation" Come on and let ms see who is
the most impot tant in this world-the man
who produces everything or the man that
devours those products. AS an instance
Of the dread the capitalist is in, there was
letter sent to the Chief Of the Fire De-
partment Of this city, notifying him that
the city would be laid in ashes on the 10Th
of January, written by IN International
ist. The authorities were informed OF the
communication, and the day was looked
forward to when the city would be burn
ed. Double guards we're placed on the
fire engines, and the police were doubled
in duty and charged to keep sharp look,
out. it really did us a great deal OF GOOD
to see the effect il bad on The wealthy pau
pers of New Orleans. The city was not
fired, but believe such warning lad It's
good effect for the remarks among the
working classes were that they wished II
had been burned down, they could not be
any worse off than they were at present.
| believe if uch confngration took place
it would have been hailed with JOY by
the workers. hope the day is not lar
distant when the red flag will float over
every town Of d hamlet in tie country, and
when the glorious principles Of the Inter,
national will be thoroughly understood
and practiced and then it will be an hon:
or to be q laborer instead Of disgrace,
which it now is. Vive rlnternationale.
Fraternally in the good cause,
JOHN LITTLE.
To Citizen Hubert, Corresponding sec-
rotary. ai.a
Citizen Frey remarked that they were
red-hot and prepared in tn. good cause IN
New Orleans. 1t was a pity they did not
have little more Of that epirit instilied
here.
The chairman inquired what action
should be taken by the council in regard
| 10 the communication.
Citizen Banks. 1t is fnlly Endorsed.
m owe that IL be placed on the minutes o.
