Lou1sIAHA.-The address of Gov ernor Nc
Emery, alluded to in our telegraphic co.
lumns yesterday, contains the following
forceful passages
1t is apparent to you, as well as to all the
people OF this Union, that the President is
resolved at all hazards and at all costs TO sus-
tain, by the military arm OF the nation, the
present usurpation of the State Government,
ushered into existence by the midnight or
der of United States District Judge Durell,
executed by United States bayonets, and
presided over by Mr.. William Pitt Kellogg.
You are ordered and required by the Presi.
dent to view with calmuess and resignation
the overthrow of the legal Government of
your State, elected by you in pursuance to
all the forms of law; the displacement Of
Judges, clerks, sherifs recorders, justices of
the peace, police, jurors, etc.. IN fact, the
displacement by force of the whole ma
chinery Of Government, State, paro-
chial, and muDicipal-and the inStalla-
ton by force of persons VIGOROUSLY de-
feated at the election, and whose only
title to Office rests upon the return of
returning board without a single Off.

count, and preditaung Its illegal action upon
affidayits in many cases forged, certificates.
statements, census returns, &c. You are
commanded by the President to oppose no
armed resistance to this admitted usurpa-
ton, which without the potential aid of
Federal authority would cease to exist in
thirty days and counsel and advise you to
obey this peremptory order of the President.
President Grant, as the Chief Magistrate OF
the nation, has assumed the high and grave
responsibility of foisting upon the people cf
this State usurpation without precedent in
this or any other free country, and he Is an
swerable before the bar OF public opinion of
this Republic for this high-handed mea-
sure, so utterly destructive of free gov
eminent in this country. The President
of the United States, with the army and navy
at his command, has the physical power
to coerce the people of this State into any
line of policy he may be pleased to dictate,
and it would be but folly and madness to
interpose any resistance likely to bring us in
conflict with the national authority; and as
it has already been successfully demonstrated
that Mr.. kellogs's government, unaided by
Federal power, was poweriess to enforce its
mandates, further violent demonstrations
will prove barren Of useful or practical re-

will speedily repress any threatened outbreak
in every part of the State. Yet the deeply
| fixed sentiments Of irrepressible hostility in
the minds and heart of an outraged people
against the yilest usurpation ever ut
| tempted to be. fastened upon freenIen will
| find their full scope and vent. | advise
that these manly and patriotic sentiments
take form and shape through all moral and
legal agencies possible TO be devised. In
the mean time ! trust that peace and order
may reign supreme throughout the State.
and that all our industrial pursuits. will be

necessarily and ruthlessly plunged; and
especially DO urge upon the people Of the
4 two races, who are numerically nearly equal
| IN this State, TO cultivate the one towards
the ether morning but feeling of amity, good
feeling, and mutual understanding. The
fears and preiudices that have been Justified
into che minds and hearts of the colored man
against bis white neighbor should give place
to reason and judgment il the people of the
white race are frank and open in theirayowa
to coDcede to the c0loIed man all the RIGHTS
/ guaranteed to him under the law. On The
/ other hand, the colered man should accept
with sincerity The plighted faith of his white
neighbor, aud thus, by an interchange Of
| candid opinions, prejudices entertained by
both races may be obliterated, new anG
brighter career opened up for both peoples
and the antagonism now existing Will giyt
place to mutual forbeannce, aud the destiny
of the two races SO indissolubly united with
the fate Of Louisiana will be placed in q
higher scale OF advancement than ct present
