strength whatever the moment its prop
of federal bayonets was removed Out
side Of New Orleans the rascally adven-
turers were unable to offer any opposition
whatever. In the Creseat CITY the trait.
or Longstreet brought his Metropolitan
forces to bear against the patriots, but
these Platorian Guards were swept away
like chaff by the indignant and outraged
people,
1t is PROFESSIONALLY fact, that the
necessity for an armed uprising in Lou
isiana is most deplorable. But the ex-
stence of the necessity no man at all
conversant with the condition of affairs
in that State will venture to deny Moth
ing short Of armed force could have
accomplished the overthrow of the Kel-
logg ring. TWAS utter folly to cass a
majority Of votes against them because
the Radical Legislature gave them the
Infamous power to throw out as many
votes as they deemed necessary to defea,
the candidates of the whites. Kellogg
himself was defeated by maj ority OF
fifteen thousand. Durell, drunken
United States Judge, backed by Presi-
dent Grant and federal bayonets, forcibly
put him In the position he has used to
plumber the people of Louisiana from.
So fragrant an outrage was CHS that even
a Radical Senate was constrained TO pass
a resolution, after q long and careful
Investigation, declaring that Kellogg
WAS never elected Governor of the
State,
10 the face of these terrible facts We
find President Grant once more appear
ing as the defender and upholder OF a
monstrous usurpation. If his proclama
tiCn meals anything at all, it means
that he intends to put down by brute
force the revolution in Louisiana and
reinstate Kellogg and his Infamous gang
What will be the consequence Of this
attempt? It must either end in the de-
struction Of the white people of thu
South, or 1t must develop into a bloody
war of political parties from one end OF
the country to the other.
Wedo not care how much the wretched
pimps Of and panderers to, Radicals m
may denounce US as seditious, but VIC
unhesltatingly declare that if the white
people Of Louisiana resist any attempt of
Grant and his Radical followers to re en-
slave them, the first blow struck ought
to be and will be, the signal for a grand
uprising throughout the South And
If the war must come snail call upon
every man at the North who believes
that this IS white mans government,
to arm himself and join us in one desper-
ate effort to wrest the government of the
United States from the bands Of Radicals
and regues
We repeat this morning, what we have
frequently declared, that the Southern
neople 30 not wish to make any war
upon the United States The Radical
party is not the United States. It's power
to-day is maintained By unparalleled
frauds and by systematic despotiain.
It has formed base and unnatural alli-
ance with half barbarous negroes, and
seeks to retain the reins of government
i'll its hands, by subordinating eight mil
lions Of white Southerners to the negro
race.
Toimagne that white men will forever
submit to despotism so CALLING and TO a
degradation so bitter, is to imagine that
the Southern whites are the veriest das
tar0s alive. The unparalleled corruption
and hagrant usurpation Of Kellogg have
driven the people Of Louisiana to revolu-
ton. President Grants declaration of
purpose t. coerce the whites to return to
the rule Of an infamous man and an in
famous larty, gives to the situation the
utmost gravity, We advise the people
OF Louisiana to stand firm in the defense
of their recovered rights and liberties.
Let them abstain from striking another
blow, unless they are attacked, aud if
white federal soldiers c&n be found so
lost to all sense OF justice and of pride
of race rs to attack them, then let the
