Of this most holy and s~cred provision of the

his crew, crowded our quiet thoroughfares with
armed forces, and stocked our public buildings
with munitions of war with the loud boast and
lido, hope OF striking terror into the hearts Of
our peaceably disposed populace. Nor did our
wrongs here rest.
An outraged people sought the p election of
their tribunals of justice-elsewhere the sacred

arrant usurper and vllanous prohigate, Knocked

by bloated tax-gatherers, Who with their partner
in the plumber, VIM. Pitt Kellogg, riveted our
chains Of bondage; from this, aye! more than this,
we silenced the manhood within us, and shrieksd

the United States was without the power to inter-

and that it was properly the province of the peo-

hand, and decided to let it severely alone, rather
than precipltate more serious complica tons, and
with the exception OF the report OF select COM

found refuge in the national waste basket.
Defeated and disheartened, our people, reduced

We humbly hope for day of enlightenment to
our Northern brethren, since their comments

history, aud irrefragsble proof to every American
freeman, while warning and terror to tyrants,
that the holy spirit which wrung from naughty
Britain the precious jewel OF liberty still lives n
Louisiana. And for this must We suffer? Grant
