To The People of the North.
NEW ORLEANS, December ID, 1S72.--
The undersigned representatives OF
Louses in the North, doing business
With the South, who have been visiting
New Orleans for many years past, and
At present, and are thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the political feelings OF the
neo,,le of this section, wish to express
orr opinion. at this critical luncture
of affairs.
Visiting New Orleans at season
when the city is usually full of activity
and life. we find every channel OF trade
naralvzed, the State House occupied
Inv troops. the officers of the State
threatened and intimidated, and the
Deople cast into the deepest gloom by
the arbitrary usurpation of power ana
place, by political adventurers, backed
nv a United States Judge, who has
called in the assistance of United
States troops TO execute his DEGREES.
After AN election, which we believe
TO have been conducted as fairly and
honestly as any i'll which the American
neople ever participated, finding them
selves beaten by "a large majority of
the votes of the citizens of this city
and State, this INSCRIPTIONS and ire
sponsible body OF men have resOrted
to trickery and violence to defeat the
execution of the will of the people, as
thus expressed.
Believing this action the greatest
outrage ever attempted to be carried
out in orr country, and one which
tends directly to the overthrow of the
liberties of the people, and to destroy
ing the power and sacredness of the
ballOt-bOx, we hereby enter our solemn
protest against the high-handcd action,
and appeal to our fellow citizens of the
North to unite i'll protesting to Con
oress and the President, to the end
that the legally elected officers of the
State may be installed in office, and
the people of the community sup
ported in their efforts to exercise the
right of franchise, that they may re-
deem their State from the bankruptcy
and ruin with which it is now threat
ened through the action of these
.lameless adventJrers
