The Revolutien-lts Lessons.
The complete overthrow of the
Kellogg usurpation and the ready in
stallation in its stead of the rightful
government Of Louisiana, although it
is overthrow by the military force
Of the United States, will not be al
together fruitless and is not without
it's lessons. 1t teaches Kellogg that
his government is one of straw that
can be blown out of existence by the
first breath of popular Indignation
It proves to him, if he ever bad any
doubts on the subject, that he can
only sustain himself with the aid Of
United States troops, and will per.
haps make him more careful in the
future. It will, doubtless, induce him
to abandon the policy Of fraud by
which he was calculating to cheat us
out Of the victory at the polls which
awaits US in November, az it must
hare satisfied him that such a policy
cannot win in the face Of a united
and determined people.
The lesson it'brings to rs is the as
surance now made "doubly sure
that we can drive out the usurping
government at any mon ent we
please, but that the Dictator who
holds his throne at Washington and
his Court At Long Branch is deter
mined that Kellogg shall not be
driven out and that it is useless for
US to make the attempt unless we are
prepared to fight United States SOL
diers. It teaches US also that "the
public sentiment North" upon which
we have relied tor 80 much, is in our
favor only when we quietly submit to
every outrage beaped upon MS and is
against US whenever we refuse to
submit. The "sentiment" spoken OF
pretends to condemn the Kellogg
usurpation. but such sympathy that
never does anything for us and al
ways refuses to help us is worth but
precious little to us and had better
be against than for US. We appeal
ed to Congress and the "Northern
sentiment" could have forced that
tribunal to grant US relief. The SEN
timent was quiescent and we got no
relief. We appealed to the courts of
the State and United States and
again the sentiment did us no good.
We have now appealed to the only
tribunal left us, that OF arms, and the
sentiment is against US. On the
North or South or East or
West say we! Let as now 60 cour-
to work relying on our own
and appealing only to the
God of right and justice, and work
out our own salvation. The way is
plain and easy. Let us get out, force
out and drag out, il necessary all our
voters and do as We can do, poll
such a rousing vote against Kellogg
and the Usurpation, as that even
Grant will have to respect the will of
the people SO clearly expressed. Let
us now to work and let us hear no
more of supineness and Indifference.
The victory is ours if we will but
grasp it!
