To which Mr.. Mari orally replied
as follows: 81 repeat that there are
no armed rioters. There ere no
armed men on Canal street, so far as
we know; we came on q mission of
peace, and we believe that if the
Governor had acceded to the PROPOSE
ton We brought to-day, which was to
abdicate, it would have pacifed the
people of Louisiana, and might or
would have prevented violence or
bloodshed. So far as we are con-
cerned we are prepared to pledge to
him no violence in person orproperty,
and we feel in a position, on the con-
trary, to assure him that there should
be perfect unanimity to both"
The substance of the foregoing re-
ply was subsequently, by Mr. Marr's
request reduced to writing by the
Governors pirate Secretary, and
handed to him TO read at the mass
meeting.
Gen. Dibble, on the part of the
Government replied: l have to re-
peat what l said before, that while
there may be no armed men on Canal
street, there are armed bodies within
short distance. assembled on the
same call as yo;T mass meeting.

pie were then advised to go home and
get their arms and ammunition and
return to assist tie White League,
