WHEREAS, The rights and liberties OF
the people of Louisiana have assumed the
proportions of great national issue, and
WHEREAS, The question of constl-
tutional liberty in the United States, IN
volving the most sacred rights OF the
people in State, and
WHEREAS, Any compromise with the
usurpation of Kellogg, whereby he or his
government could obtain any recognition
on the part of the people of Louisiana,
would be to condonc an unparalleled
wrong and to acquicsce in the arbitrary,
illegal and oppressive acts whereby con-
stitutional liberty has been imperiled,
and
WHEREAS, 1t Is our duty to our God
and to our country to resist and never
cease to resist, by all legal and political
means in our power, the consummatlon
of these outfages, and
WHEREAS, For the first time in all the
weary years of our struggle for the right
of self government, the people of the ell
tire Union have paused to listen to the
story of our wrongs and bear our warn
ing cries, and their strong voices, full
of sympathy, encouragement and sup
port, reach us and bid Us be firm
and patient, and urge us not to yield to
the said compromise and snch promise
speedy and total overthrow of the
usurpcrS and oppreSsors and the rcStora-
tion of our rights and liberties; and
WHEREAS, we are admonished by the
graves of our fathers, and by the memo
ries of their suffering in the cause Of
liberty, that it is our duty to suffer in the
same holy cause now; therefore be it
Resolved That we repudiate as being
reasonable any action on the part of
any Representatives or Senators elected
by the conservative people Of Louisiana
looking to the recognition of the Kellogg
usurpcr, either directly or indirectly, or
of any portion Of his usurping govern
mcnt; or which in effect would condone
the unparalleled infamy done to the peo-
pie OF Louisiana by the Federal military
power on the 4th ofJanuary, 1875.
in inr int
compromise bargain, arrangement or ad.
justment with usurper Kellogg and
those who uphold or depend on him, the
Representatives, Senators or others elected
by the Conservative people of Louisiana,
have forgotten that they are servents
with limited functions and have
now boldly usurpcd the great interest and
prerogative ofthe people, as their masters,
and that such bargain compromise, ar
rangement or adjustment is binding on
the people and will not be tolerated by
them.
Rcsoired, That we will tell these men
whom We elected to represent Us, and
whom we have trusted, that We desire no
compromise with the Kellogg usurpa-
ton; that we demand and will agree to
nothing else than the reinstatement of
the legally elected Legislature, as it
stood January 4th, when the United
States soldiers entered to eject the lawful
representatives of the people, and TINT
thrv must he rciustoted unpledoed and
untrammclcd. save by the sanction of
their official oaths of fcalty and duty
they owe their country and their Constlt-
nnnts. tbat we coll unon our brave fcl-
low citizens of all the arisheS in the
State, to assemble in mass convention, 10
join with us III uttcring this solemn pro.
test against the proposed action OF those
Senators and Representatives, who for
Cetful of their duty or blinded by false
considerations, will undo all the results of
our heroic efforts, and surrender the
struggle for rights and liberties which
are desrer than LIE.
