% The extraordinary compromise published in
Vle papers this morning fully justies the pre-
~ ;tlon OF DR.. Bruins, that the gentlemen engaged
u this negotiation had gone in sheep ana would
p'me ont shorn. The revolution of the 14th has
;racted public attention at the North to the al
Wrs Of Louisiana to a degree that had never
Ceen done before.
There is almost complete agreement OF
opinion to the i!legalty and usurpatory char
acter OF the Kellogg Government. Even promi-
nent Radical journals denounce it as stencil in
the public nOstrlis.
The appeal OF the people Of Louisiana to the
sense Of right and justice of the Northern people
is meeting with general and favorable attention.
Under these circumstances, nine gentlemen have
undertaken 10 withdraw that appeal, and to sub
:stitute for it a submission to the mercy OF VIM.
p. Kellogg.
In the first place, they implicitly acknowledge
that the Conservative party Is the sole dlsturber
of the public peace, and they pledge themselves
for its future quiet submission TO the will OF Mr.
!, Kellogg. In return for this extraordinary admls
sion which is false in point OF fact there Is no
recognition of his tiagrant violation OF the most
essential rights of the people, no guarantee for
their future observance.
In the second place. for the purpose OF secur-
| ing fair registration and election, they have
\ constituted and appointed an Advisory Com
/ mittee-, body unknown to the law-composed
OF two Conservatives and three Radicals, which IS
~ *.
j. 4 to follow such advice far as it is in conso
nee with and per.litted by the existing laws OF
4e State.
I'm view Of the manner in which these men
kave always interpreted the laws, this latter
Clause may be taken to mean simply SO far as 1t
Us in cOnsonance with the will and interests OK
Mr.. Kellogg. The Returning Board is lett en-
tirely in the hands OF the most INSCRIPTIONS
Radical partisans. while rights are lett TO the
protection which can be exercised over such
characters by the moral suasion OF two weak and
yielding comprOmisers.
Thus it is sought to withdraw the cause Of the
people OF Louisiana from the great tribunal OF
American opinion, and to submit 1t to the very
men who are depressing us, on the mere promise
OF q man whose promises nave been dishonoreo
and protested a thousand times and who is
known even among his own partisans as a man
who can't speak the truth.
? While the liberties of people are always
-heapy purchased with their blood, yet there
vas not o life lost on our side Oh Monday, 14tf
of September which was not too dear price to
\ pay for such a trumpery compromise as this. Al
these gentlemen were never authorized to enter
into any such arrangement. ought there not td
be called public meeting to consider and learr
~ the public sentiment in regard to it. 3.
Sept. Both, 1874.
