But is the part that Grant, WHIT
il 1.-THE Federal Governments" play.
in this Louisiana revolution to IN
tolerated by the other States of thi.
great Confectionery? Have the PEG
pie OF a State no redress tor sucl
terrible wrongs as Louisiana and
South Carolina are now suffering
from Louisiana il to be made t.
writhe under the torture of niggel
rule. at least until January l, 1877
aud how much longer God only
knows, and her abused people mus,
submit. We desire to say to Gen
Grant, President of the United
States, that the people Of Louisa
ma, or the people of New York,
have a Heaven ordained right-a
right above all human laws or en-.
actments-to the preservation, at
all hazards, Of that condition, State
or National, which shall permit
their ''enjoyment Of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness ;" and
when the State Governments. or
the National Government, are base
enough t" seek to destroy that
'tHeaven-ordainrtl right, sucI, a State
power, or such a Federal power,
sI'onld be resisted to the very last.
Better. far better, invite another in
ternecine war, aud delnge this land
from the It. LAWRENCE to the Gulf
from the Atlantic to the Rocky
Mountains, with blood, and endure
the horrors of another whirlwind
Of human, passion, and a wreck of
every thing that makes up common
civilization. than to allow human
liberty to become 4 mere mOckery,
and human happiness 70 be crushed
under the heels of vice, ignorance
and African ,aganism in the Uni
ted States, as il the case to day. 1t
is high time for the Northern and
Western States to speak out. Let
the man in the White House be
told ''nO further shalt thou 90 in

the United States when it is known
to exceed the authority which the
people have delegated to 1t. in up

Louisiana to day should drive
