THE OUTRAGE YESTERDAY.

Just as we supposed, the outrage pelpe
trated on Tuesday would not be the last. Yes
terday afternoon, in pursuance Of pro
gramme evidently arranged after consider
ton, the police raided upon the store No. y
Canal street, owned by a well-known ant
highly respectable gentleman, Mr.. Olivier
and stole number of guns This gentleman
has been long engaged in the gun trade here
and never was therefore connected with politica
movements The reasons OF this move are 6
palpable it is not necessary to waste npoi
them either the patience Of the reader or tht
space of the paper
The facts speak for themselves. Louder
than the echoes Of the distant guns OF an ad
vancing foe, these audacious occurrences war;
our people of coming expressions and wrongs
Kellogg and his henchmen have perpetrated t
number Of high handed ontrages upon the
upon beth the personal and political rights OF
| the people They have. time and again, set
at defiance the orders Of orr courts, have pu
| themselves mp as a power superior to all law
but never before have they 50 eontemptuousl!
spurned the statutes of the State, and il
broad daylight, committed such an otfense
against every principle Of justice and right
The guardians, so-called, Of our lives and
property, these men, who are paid by oul
poverty-stricken taxpayers these, at the mo
ton of Kellogg's finger march out to deprive
citizens Of their property without even
shadow of legal authority and in defiance OF
constitutional guarantees.
They deny to American citizens the right
given them by the Constitution Of the United
States of openly keeping and bearing arms
and all this because man who claims to be-
the Executive of this State fears his govern
ment, like Dead Sea apple, would fall to
ashes at a touch Of the peoples hand. There
can be no doubt these acts of tyranny and ag-
gression have been planned that the coming
election may be easily controlled in the in
terests of the Republican party.
Our people have submitted quietly to all |
sorts of outrages and indignities they have
been long enduring and patient under wrongs
greater and heavier than those which awoke
the heart throbs Of the revolution and vet they /
are called upon to bear more 1t would almost
seem Kellogg desires to trample the people of
Louisiana in the dust, to slap the faces Of the
in order that his reign may be length
ened by covering his opponents.
But we can tell Kellogg and his police there
IS limit to our endurance We have been
lriyen to the wall The time for resistance
las arrived and we now openly and earnestly
advocate the rapid organization Of all men
Who are willing to do battle for everything
hat is dear to an American citizen The
,eople here will submit no longer, and the
lay has now arrived for all to unite in the de-
ense Of homes and property.
After careful consideration of the situa-
ion, we thoroughly believe this movement on
he side Of the usurper is only part Of his
Ian Of action to bring about and precipitate
collision in this city. He imagines his OPP
'onents are not as yet completely armed and
rganized and that if such an occurrence {
hould transpire his janissaries would be sac
essful in quell,ng any disturbance Louis {
ina now wants cool heads, for there are thou !
ands Of willing hands eager to redeem the I
tate.
