yotion to Republican principles.
sResolved, 4. We declare our unfaltering
adhesion to the principles and doctrines OF
the Republican party, but confess that our
confidence has been weakened ana our
hopes disappointed in our Congressionai
delegation, who, elevated to position and
influence by cur suffrages, have ignored
their constituents in the consideration OF
patronage. Ls
The fifth resolution lauds Pinchback to
the skies.
Resolved, 6, That we are dseply palned
at the failure to accord the Hon. 2. b. 3.
Pinchbach his seat in the United States
Senate, to which he has been elected by
the General Assembly of Louisiana, body
elected by the people, legalized by the high
est judicial tribunals of the State, sane
toned By the federal courts, recognized by
the United States Senate, and protected By
| the President and should this injustice be
perpetrated by Republican Senate we fear
| it would be impossible 10 guarantee the
fealty of the masses of our people TO the
Republican parry in the future.
! I. The exclusion by the Louisiana Con-
gressional delegation of Pinchback and
| John Ray, two recognized leaders of the
Republican party and its noted element cf
strength, from consultation in the dispens-
ing of Federal patronage in Louisiana, was
| an act offensive to US, which calls for our
unqualified condemnation, and which more
than shows our confidence was misplaced.
S. In New Orleans alone there is an in
telligent and cultivated population OF color
exceeding the votes of the entire white Re-
pulican strength through the State, whose
| Republicanism is andoubted and unques-
tionaple, who should be considered and
consulted as their; Representative men
in the dispensation of patronage, at least
equally with our white friends, many of
whose affiliation with our party is bounded
by official prospects.
We have Just cause to previously 'm
plain of the summary removal from Federal
positions since the election, ofreliabte and
efficient colored men upon charges OF In
competency after protracted and satisfactory
service, without any complaint.
