He said that tho people of the State Of
Louisiana could not fight the people of the
whole North, but il the Federal Govern
ment did not send more troops here, they
could soon gobble UP the regiment already

tho action Of the Senate committee in
which il is declared the report Of that

lure government Of this estate. Second,
that the McEnry government could and
can. at its option, displace in ten days
any and oil antagonists organizations ex.
ept the U. S. government. Third, that
| a spurious Organization, known as the
Kellogg government, exists, solely by
force Of Federal authority, through the
courts and military, without which it
could not stand. Fourth, that this crea.

statesman and disgraeefal,y disingennuous
under the facts admitted, and further,
mat the decision OF majority Of Supreme
court OF this stale, onI which MIR. Morton
based his report, we regard ns shameful
prostitution Of their high posi-
.ion,, whose partisanship was
fereshadowed and telegraphed by collector
oasey, and whose unseemly zeal forparty
triumph, led them beyond the record to
