The immediate cause Of the outbreak
on Monday WA The violation 10y kcl-
logg ofonc Of The rlghlssccurodlO evcry
American citizen 10y the constitution
of the United States 1.-The right 10 keep
and bear arms, Having ossayod every
other plan without success 10 provoke
the people of New Orleans 10 re-
sIstance, he finally began 10 seize
all The arms and ammunition that was
being brought into the city, Steamers
were searched NJ their landings, and
cars ut The depots, for munitions of war,
and all of Much articles were ~ once
taken possession of and conllscatcd.
Even this did not provoke armed resist
ancc, as II might reasonably and lnsti-
hubly have done, AT lust the vile
usurpcr laid on the last feather that
was 10 call forth the long pent'up feel
ings ofthe outraged people and break
the back OF his unlawful aud tyrUnnlc
rule. On Thursday afternoon last ut
. O'clock, % squad of Metropolitan
police In charge Of IN officer, proceed
ed TO the store Of Mr.. Olivier, SO Canal
street, importer ofguns, etc., aud, after
arreslng him on trumped-up charge
Of assault and battery, went 60 work
and carted of the contents of his store
to the first precinct station, The Bull
letin says;
"At the time of the seizure Kellogg,
accompanied by Judge Atocha, was
coming out of the custom house, when
some one informed himof the fact,
Kellogg said: "Did they take them
before the whole crowd?" The an
swer was ayes, before the whole
crowd.nt Whereupon Mr.. Kellogg, in
a derisivo manner, la had Justify"
This was the browning outrage. The
people felt that the time for resistance
had arrived, unless they were prepared
to surrender everything that an Amer
lean oughtto hold dear. Calls Were
issued for u mass meeting of the peo-
pie Of New Orleans who were ye&dy to
do battle for the preservation of what
little of liberty was left to them. In
response TO these calls tho people AS
sembled on Monday ut the Clay mon
ument, end the result of their ASSEM-
bling has been told in our telegraphic
columns. As the patriots of Boston
tore the statue Of George the Fhlrd from
its pedestal and dragged 1t 10y rope
| around the neck through the streets of
that city, 80 the patriots of New Or
leans have torn the ustTper Kellogg
from his gubefnatoriQl chair that
they have not dragged his vide carcass
by the neck through the streets that
he has insulted by his presence is an
evidence of their forbearance, and that
they are moved by far higher and
worthier considerations than any mere
desire to wfeak their revenge ON an
individual The cause OF Louisiana
to-day is ms holy as was the cause of
Boston in IT'S. God prospered the
cause Of liberty then; we can only
hope that the same protection may be
vouchsafed now to the noble men of
Louisiana. ssf
