Burch has proved to the Republicans of this
parish that his intention 10 either to rule or
ruin, without reference to the will of the
people; therefore be it }Js -..z-
Resotred, That We denounce the course
pursued by Hon. J. Henri Burch as treason
able to the Republican party, and contrary
to the true principles of Republicanism.
ResOlosd, That we are opposed to the idea
OF one mans government and assumption
OF power, and As Republicans and free men,
we claim that the people are supreme. Be
it further
Resolred. That we hold to the doctrine
that the officer is the servant OF the people.
and not the people the servants Of the
officer, and We denOunce any officer, or set
Of officers, who claim that the people have
no rights that they are bound to respect.
On motion of L. A. Fuller, Esq, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by rising
vote:
Be it resolved BY the convention now as
senbled, That we heartily indorse the

thanks to Senator P. B. s. Pinchback for
his efforts in our behalf with President
Grant and his Cabinet, and we hereby
assure him that he shall receive our utmost
support whenever occasion occurs; and we
demand his immediate admission to the
United States Chamber as our chosen rep
reaentative.

With e great abuse; that is Radical or
hepuolicsL dereliction again. Sir, We never
had Republican administration in that
city that did not diminish the debt, and
when We have had Democratic administra-
lions there the people have almost besought
the Republicans to take the government out
OF their hands that they might even save
the very paving stones from being sold out
OF the streets. f--
l have shown that the evils under which
Louisiana suffers are not altogether due to
pohtical causes. and for all political mis-
management the opponents of the Repub-
mean party in that State are quite as much
responsible as that party itself; and have
shown that if Congress has any duty to per-
form In the premises it is the duty OF as
certalnlng who is the legal Governor of
Louisiana; and before / conclude, let me
just cay few words in reply to the brag-
gar boast that were it not for the army Of
the United States the government OF Mr..
Kellogg could not be sustained moment
IN that State.
Sir, do not with any zest want to recall
TO the Senate the outrages that have been
perpetrated there; but l ask the Senate and
ask the country, in view of the innumera-
BILE lives that have been sacrificed there
since 1866, whether 476 troops are too MANY
to preserve tranquility and to repress out
rage and crime in that STATED Are they any
too many to execute the laws-the mere
revenue laws Of the United Statess And
suppose they are kept there for the purpose
OF preserving tranquility, suppose that if
they we're taken away the Kellogg govern.
ment would not stand, why would it not
stands Sir, the Kellogg government will
stand. 1t will stand forever, or republican
government will stand as long as the
people in that State are of their present
mode OF thinking until you invite a
war OF races and arm the negro there.
Gell Senators that ninety per cent of the
Republican party in my State are colored
people. Can we arm them to defend them
selves against the minority, the whitesa
And Senator on this floor brings in bill
to remit Louisiana to state Of civil war!
No, sir; the people there are your wards.
You have made them SO by your enact
inente; and it is due to them that you should
protect them. But if the men who oppose
the government of Mr.. Kellogg will meet us
on the result of q fair election, we will
meet them on that issue, but some of us
and they know it-are debarred from taking
arms in our hands.
New, Mr.. President, does the bill of the
Senator from Wisconsin meet this case at
ALT IL there any ground for it? Can Congress
interferef And would not every man who
should give his dispassionate judgment and
reflection to this case be satisfied, rs l am,
that Mr.. Kellogg is the legitimate choice OF
the people, and should be LETT there to
exercise the powers conferred by the
people2
1 am obliged to the Senate for their at
tention. .#
