With their approval and support

honest national administration of
the equal rights of Louisiana, as

Dishonor, the reproach of the

These several propositions be-
ing concurred in by all of the
committee of the United States
Senate, a majority thereof declar-
ed that the Government of Kel-

was a gross and fragrant usurpa-

organize the government of the
State. To have done otherwise
would have been an abandonment
of a plain duty and a surrender of
the rights of the people who had
elected them.

lent return of the votes of the
people. Unhappily for the honor
of the Republic and the cause of
right, justice and law, the Presi,
dent of the United States deemed
it his duty to extend to this ficti'
tious and fraudulent Government
the protection of the United
States army. This was done al
first under a grossly erroneous
view of his duty as the Chiei
Executive of the Nation, to en-
. force an order of a Uuited States
, court, whether legally and con
Stutional or not, even though tha
? order was a palpable excess anC
abuse of jurisdiction and author
ity.
1t is still more to be lamenteC
that this support and protection
of a usurping State Government
has been continued by the Presi
dent in the exercise of his politi
, cal power, when he could u,
q longer defend his course by /;
! concession to a United State:

LATURE, IN Pursuance OF A
RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE.
The undersigned was appointed !
by a resolution of the General AS
sembly of the State to address
their fellow citizens in reference
to the contest, growing out of the |
election of the 4th November last,
with view of Indicating the
course they have thought proper
to pursue, and of indicating that
which they recommend for the
considerations and adoption of
their constituents in the present
gave emergency of our State.
1t is source of consolation and
confidence to us, in the discharge
of this duty, that in our past con-
duct, as your servents, we are
able to present the full indorse-
ment or the highest political au-
thority which could be invoked
or desired on the question at issue,
to wit: that of the most promi-
nent representatives of the politi-
cal party opposed 70 us in that
august tribunal, the United
States SENATE. A committee of
that body, composed exclusively
Of Senators who SUPP orted The
reconstruction and enforcement
act OF Congress, which have been
set up as the basis and pretext
for the violent reversal of the
legally expressed will of the peo-
pie in our last election, and the
installation of usurping minori-
t ty in our State Government, has
after a full investigation of the
law and facts arrived at the fol
=, lowing conclusions:
: 1. That the action of United
i States Judge, in foisting into the
Chief Executive Office of the State

: as defeated, by majority of over
six thousand votes, and further
by an Illegal order directing the

ed States troops, installing as
members of the General As
> sembly of Louisiana, persons who
were never elected by the people
! and had no other title to such
places but that conferred by the
- allegations of a bill in chancery
and excluding lawfully returned
and elected memGers, is unani
mously and emphatiGally con
demned as an act of Judicial usur
patton, abuse and outrage.
2. 1t is shown by the same
committee that the lawful and
regular returns of the votes OF
the people were set aside by cor
rupt, dishonest and partisan
Board of Canvassers, who sub
stituted for the real and proper
evidence of such votes and, elec
tion, ex parte affidavits, censu,
estimates, newspaper reports, and
other eaqual inadmissible data.
3. 1t is conceded by the same
committee, that no de jure or law
full government can be created
= by such modes of canvassing, o.
/, making up the election returns
and that no court or other tribu
pal can impart any legality to ;
tenure to office thus obtained.
4. 1t is with like unanimit,
admitted by the same high au
tllority that the State officers VIII
had the regular and lawful re
turns were entitled to enter upol
their offices, and that those VIII

usurpation. If we resist the !
Executive of the United States,
which with arms defends this |
usurpation, we are rebels, if we do !
not resist it, we submit to and /
acknowledge its authority and
power. We do not believe that
the founders of this Government,
or the friends of republican insti-
tutions and of liberty, in any part
of the world, have ever sanction
ed such a doctrine and PROPOSE
ton. We believe that the FEEDER
al Government, represented by
! Con gress and the President, are
under a sacred constitutional obi
cation to protect and defend the
people of the State in the enjoy
ment of their republican right, of
selecting their own political
agents, and that this right is ut
terly disregarded and trampled
on by the course pursued in our
case.
In so clear path of duty and
manhood, we have deemed it i'm
perative to assert this right, guar
auteed by the Federal constitu-
ton, and to endeavor to perform
the functions and exercise the
powers confined TO US by the
people. We are prevented and
: hindered therein, by what we re-
gard the wrongful and unconsti
tutional intervention of the Fed
! eral Executive. Such interven-
ton being so regarded by us, we
cannot if we would, and we would
| not if we could, cease our protest
t and opposition thereto. We ap-
5 peal to our brethren in the other
f States, for their sympathy and
+ support of a position which they
are all interested in maintaining,
/ thus vindicating a cardinal princi-
t pie of our political system. We
d have no other hope or means of
: defense against the wrongs done
US. We can only assert our
d rights, refuse submission to usurp-
n alton and abide the Judgment of
!, the American people in our case.
i Meantime it behooves tile people
l. of Louisiana to preserve theil
o manhood, their dignity and their
a patience. Suffering under the
s gratest indignities which can be
e perpetrated upon free people
Il they are threatened with the pro
