I The North can form no idea of the robbery
| and spoliation to which we have been sub
} iected. My movement was necessitated by
the attitude of the people. They demanded
it. lam now in full possession of the State
! government. The colored people are salts
. fed and contented. A strong brigade of
{ colored troops, fully organized and armed,
g and in the service of the usuTpation, refused
g to fire shot in its defense. The most per-
g feet peace and good order prevails. We are
! thoroughly loyal to the Federal government,
/ and in the operations of the past two days
there have been no excuses or violations of
r the law. This government is the only one
s lin existence now in Louisiana. a4
