| ton, the result Of the violent abuse Of the

w. P. Kellogg has continued himself in
power to the gross wrong and outrage OF
the people Of the State of Louisiana, and
to the Imminent danger of republican
institutions throughout the entire coun-
try; and
Il WHEREAS, With a view to controlling
4 and determining the results of the APP

Power OF Denying Registration to
Bona Eide
citizens whose applications before the
courts for a mdmdamus, to compel the
Assistant Supervisor to enroll and reg
ister them, has been refused, the reg
istration law in deeds Furnishing the
courts, if they dare to take cognizance OF
such appeals; and
WHEREAS. By false and infamous
misrepresentation of feelings and mo-
tives Of our people, he has received the
promise of aid from the Federal Army
placed at the orders OF
the Attorney General Of the
United States, and subject to the call of
the United States Marshals, for the pur-
pose of the overawing our State and con-
trolling the electson, and
WHEREAS, In the language of the call
for this meeting, one by one our dearest
rights have been trampled upon, and at
last, in the supreme height of its insolence
this mockery ola republican government
has dared even to deny that right so
sOlemnly guaranteed by the constitution
of the United States, which in article ] 1th
Of the amendments, declares that the
right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed upon. Be it
ReSOtred, That We re-atfirm sOlemnly
the resolutions adopted by the white peo-
pie of Louisiana, in convention, assem-
bled at Baton Rouge, on the 18th Of Au-
gust, 1874. That the white people of
Louisiana have no desire to deprive the
colorcd people of any rights to which they
are entitled. That w. p. Kellogg is q
mere usurper, and we dcnOunce him as
such. That his government is arbi-
trary, unjust and oppressive, and
Can Only Maintain Itself Through
Federal Interference.
That the election and registration un-
der which this election is being conduct
ed were intended to pcrpetuate usurpa-
tion, by depriving the people, especially
congratulated citizens Of an opportunity
to register and vote And therefore in the
name ofthc citizens of New Orleans now
in mass meeting and of the people Of the
State of Louisiana, whose franchise has
been wrcstcd from them by fraud and
violence, and all of whose rights and
liberties have been outraged and tramplcd
upon, we demand of w. p. Kellogg
his immediate abdiCation.
