ESTABLISHED 1S4Os
NEW ORLEANS.

Well, the latest effort Of a decent,
reputable and respectable people to free
themselves from the rule Of plunder-
ing knave, known to be such by the
President Of the United States, is IN
done. Blood has been shed in vain.
Kellogg is to be reinsiated and held in
power by the force Of Federal bayonets,
and this in free Republic where the
viii Of the people Is supposed to be su-
preme. It has come to this at last that
party, represented by the vilest
scum Jhst ever fioated to the surface, the
accident of revolution or war, is para
mount to the real interests Of the hon
est people Of a State every one of whose
guarantees under the constitution Of the
United States has been violated with
the connivance and consent Of the Pres
ident and the ruling majority in con-
gress. Shape it as We may, it has
come to this at last, that all we hold
dear OF personal liberty and private
night is TO be sunk in order to
secure an unoOnscionsble vii
lain supreme control of 8
sovereign State. Either Radiealism
must flourish, must triumph, and Hber-
" perish, or the reverse. Such is the
alternative n presented US. It comes tous
with most momentous illustration, and
calls for the prompt, the strongest and
the most earnest protest. Louisville and
s.. Louis have spoken, and Memphis
viii speak tonight. Let it be in no IN.
certain terms. Temperately, but ener-
gstically, let the voiee,of Memphis, al
ways ready to denounce wrong, SEM
sympathy and cheer TO the down-trod-
den people Of Louisiana, and words Of
strongest protest against the violence |
and wrong Of the Federal government. |

The right of revolution is a sacred
right, and one which freemen are bound TO
res uect; but the law Of the land IS clear and
EXPLICIT, and unless the leaders Of this move
ment are prepared 10 resist the Federal power
they are n bad way. They must go further
OF they will surely fare worse. The orders
from Washington were, in advance, mere
matters OF course. We can only wait TO see

when they arm themselves in this cause, are

New Orleanists tell the country the truth
about the things they are compelled to en-

OF them are traceable directly 70 the loDg-con

St Louis are heart and soul in sympathy with
the citizens Of Louisiana in their gallant

1t is no longer the protest of s mass

spOnsible killing of negroes that may be

seem to be organized. They are backed by
what they hold TO be the genuine and only

was elected Heutenant-gOYernOr with McEn-
