The disorder prevailing in Louisiana
and more or less in other States, and
the state of I'll feeling which shoulders
ready to break forth into worse tumult
than anything We lave yet witnessed.
are not due to a mere wantou spirit of
mischief or a love of disorder for its
own sake. This state of things en-
presses the worn-out patience of a
hish-spirited people. who, after being
conquered, have been subjected to
needless humiliation and oppression.
The naked forms of liberty have been
granted to them: but III truth they
have been governed by Legislatures
and by Federal officials who have paid
no respect to their political proposes
sions, and who have degraded every
form of office and of power into means
of corrupt exac;ion. .Afer ten years
of such treatment. quietly endured,
they find nothing to encourage hope
of early delivery. They are over
whelmed with debt and taxation.
From sheer inability to pay their po-
litieal debts, they are driven
into the disgrace OF reputation.
Poverty stareS them III the face:
their lands are depreciatin- in value;
they are losing the means for improv-
Ing their farms: the credit of their
merchants is declining; and the capital
which once cour;ed their cities and
plantations now shunS them.
The Southern people can distinctly
point TO a class OF politicians who main
ly have caused this state OF things. In
every county they know the men who
are responsible for the Reorganization
and ruin that has been brought upon
them. In most cases these men are in
~terIopers and adyenturer>. the poliii-
cal of other sections: so thai
they feel they have been ruled and
de>poiled by the stranger. Can one
word of this statement of their ca>e be
disputed II no., is il a matter OF SUR
prise that they are beginning to lose
patience and to show keen resentment
against those to whom they OWE so
much Of their mi>fortunes2 Have we
citizens in any other section who
would endure such wrongs more tame
"? Have We any right to expec; an
unstinted submission TO such mi,rule :
However necessary il may be for the
Federal authority to step in and ,et
that the just Indignation OF the South
ern people does not find expression i'll
bloody revenge, Vet all decent regard
for the liberty to which our institu-
lions pledge us requires that we should
not be found etfectually backing the
Wron5s to which the National power
may compel the South to temporarily
submit. When the National Consti-
