THE WHITE LEAGU E NONPOLITICAL
The following series of resolutions were
offered last night by VIM. VOORHEES, Esq, at
the meeting OF the Sixth Ward White Club,
and unanimously passed. They are well put
and well-timed, and go to sustain our state
ment that the White Leagues were only formed
for defensive purposes, and to oppose the
secret and diabolical Vaccinations of the
negroes banded together in leagues;
Whereas All our efforts to conciliate the peo-
Pile OF color with the view Of organizing good
government in the state, have failed; and they
have met all our advances in spirit of predeter-
mined and rooted hostility as race:
ResOLred That as the only adequate means OF
selfpreservatlOn, and with purpose OF trespass-
ing upon the constitutional and legal rights Of
Others we have organized the White Ledgue to
uphold and maintain the rights of the white man.
Resolred. That the White League is not pOlit-
cal party but that it is an organization for ptlr
poses of prevention and defense; that it is not
without alarm that the white people Of Louisiana
a close corporation, and, under the coors of Re-
publicanism after absorbing the functions of
government, now occupies a threatening attitude
towards the white man.
Resolred, That the White Leagues, as such
will not respond to any call for political conven
tons, having in view the organization of party
and the selection of candidates; the members Of
the White Leagues being individually free to act
according to their own personal views, and that
consequently. dsapprove OF the call made
upon the White Leagues to send delegates to a
State Convention, to be held at Alexandria on the
first Monday of September next
Resolved, That these resolutions be published
in the New Orleans BULLETIN and New Orleans
Bee.
Approved, P. N. LAUvE, President.
FRANK DUPLEsSIs Secretary.
