Whereas. The right to thus denationa1ize ,
citizens Of the republic is denied by the |
entire bar of the city Of New Orleans, and I
has been denied by the brightest legal in

of Louisiana into the federal Union. and is |
now only claimed by the de facto Attorney
General of this State, whose ofticia! exist |
ence depends upon the rejection OF foreign

Whereas. BY this contemplated outrage.
based upon an opinion manufactured 10 |
order by an interruptions partisan: from
5000 to 1900 of our number are suddenly
stripped of all their privileges Of American
citizenship: and
Whereas. The same interruptions parties. !
who find to-day ono pretext to rob large
portion Of our brethren Of their rights, will
be equally acute hereafter in discovering
hidden defects, or what they may consider
such. and reduce ils all TO a state OF uncer.
tainty as to our status. which is ut once de-
grading and annoying; therefore. De It \
ResolvedI by the foreign born citizens OF
New Orleans in mass meeting assembled.
That we denounce this contemplated inva.
sion of our rights az an outrage against the
genius of American institutions; az an elec'
tioneering trick of a political party. careless
of the dearest rights Of others in subscribing
its own corrupt cnds and as an example.
which, If followed. will render 10 impossible
for any foreigner to be naturalized IN Loul'
siana at any time by any court.
Resolred. That we call upon our brothers
Of the North and West to witness the
degradation to which We are about to be
subject. in being deprived OF the right OF
suffrage, to which We, as American citizens,
are entitled, and that We adjure the foreign
born citizens all over the republic, in their
own interests. to hold to strict RESPONSE
bility the political party which thus dis
franchises ils, and to see to it that the power
which they now WELD Only to oppress is
wrested from their unworthy hands, lest
thew themselves be made hereafter the VIC
tins Of similar Vaccinations.
Resolced, That on November next, we
must recognize no difference between our.
selves and our fellow'citizens OF American
birth, and that we will cast our ballots
in the same box az other American citizens.
Resolred, That the thanks Of all natural
lied citizens are due and are hereby ten
dered to tho Bulletin newspaper for its
prompt and fearless denunciation OF this
stupendous fraud, and OF its yindication OF
the political rights ct the foreign-born
citizens of the State of Louisiana.

dispersed az orderly as possible, quite we'll

was often heard: ''Why didn't they have
some one to make q speech to us!'
