was adopted
Whereas, the Supervisor Ut
registration for the Parish Of
Iberia, has submitted his action
in refusing to permit the United
States Supervisor of elections to
take a list of the names appearing
on bis books OF registration, which
list was intended to lie useI in
the detection of those who had
wrongfulIy caused themselves to
be registered, to the just appre.
Ciation of the people;
Whereas, it is the duty of all
citizens, and particularly Of oil,
tccrS OF the law, to aid and facil.
itatc, III every possible manner,
the detection OF committed frauds:
Whereas, it was within the
knowledge al said Supervisor
that many such fraudulent acts
had been committed, and had
already beeu exposed
Whereas, said copy was pro
posed 10 be taxed by an officer of
the law, whose special duty it is
10 detect such frauds, in such a
manner aud at such titpes as not
to interfere with the said Super.
visor vi registration in the per.
fOrmanCe of his duties, and
Whereas, there was, to say the
least; ne law prohibiting him
rom permitting such copies to be

an arbitrary exercise Of, to say
the most, a discretionary power,
through which yiolaters of the
law a!Qpe are protected

LOUISIANA MEXICANS.

Our Attentions has been called
to the fact that quite d number Of
colored men in this Parish are
not and have never been citizens
of the United States. We refer
to certain individuals, belonging
to the old free mulattO families,
who, previous TO the war, erni.
grated from Louisiana to Mexico
aud became naturalized citizens
of that country. After the ter.
mination Of the late war, these
naturalized Mexicaus returned
to this State where they have
ever since been exercising the
rights Of citizenship, in direct
violation Of our laws. Ever since
the foundation Of the Republic,
the government and Statesmen
Of the United States have streD,
uously insisted upon the doctrine,
that q citizen or subject OF one
country being naturalized m an.
other, becomes as much a clti
zen Of his adopted State AZ
though born there; anil even
though he returns TO the State OF
his birth, the latter acquires no
claim to his allegiance, aud must
treat him in every respect as 1t
he were an alien. This doctrine
is now incorporated in all treaties
between the United States and
foreign powers, aud on more
than one occasion has brought
the nation to the verge Of war.
We have no idea how the indt.
viduals herein concerned stand
politically, but as we desire only
o fair election, We give them aud
the State Supervisor this timely
warning that any attempt on
tllcir part to register Or vote is
clearlya crime agains tho State,
person engaged therein
0mptly arrested AMI
