EeU Orleans, September 14,--Aa extra
edition OF the Bulletin, issued at 4 p. NJ,
contains the following proclamation !: ,.ts
&c 10 the People Of Louis,and,-For two
years you have borne with patience and for.
titude great wrongs. Through fraud and
violence the government of your choice has
been oyerthroWn and It's. power usurped.
Protest after protest, appeal after appeal to
the President Of the United States and to
Congress, have failed to give you the relief
you had the right under the Constitution to
demand. The wrong has not been re-
paired. On the contrary, through the in.
strumentality Of partisan judges, you are
debarred from all legal, remedy. !, Day by
day taxation has been Increasing, with
costs and penalties amounting to the con-
fiscati0n OF your property. Your substance
squandered, your credit ruined, resulting in
failure and bankruptcy of your valued insti-
tutions. The right Of suffrage is virtually
taken from you by the enactment of skilfully-
devised registration and election laws. The
judicial branch of your government has been
stricken down by the conversion of the legal
posse cOn,itdtus Of the sheriff to the use of
the usurper for the purpose Of defeating the
DEGREES Of the courts-his defiance of law
leading him to use the very force for the ar
rest Of the sheriff while engaged in the exc
cution of the process of the court. ~
"'To these may be added q corrupt and
vicious Legislature, making laws in viola
ton of the Constitution for the purpose OF
guarding and perpetuating their usurped
authority, and Metropolitan police force,
paid by the city, under control of the usurp-
er, quartered uponyou to overawe and keep
you in subsection. Every public right has
been denied, and, as if to goad you to des.
peration, private arms are seized and indi-
viduals arrested. To such extremities are
you driven that manhood revolts at any fur.
ther submission.
Constrained from. sense of duty as le-
gally-elected Lieutenant-GoYe of the
State and acting Governor in the absence OF
Governor McEnery, I do hereby issue this
my proclamation, calling upon the militia
of the State, embracing all males between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-fiVe years,
without regard to color or previous condi
ton. to arm, aud assemble under their re-
spective officers, for the purpose of driving
the usurpers from power.
