New YORK. Jan. THE following ap-
peared this afternoon:
To the Citizens of New York:
To-day's Associated Press dispatches of
events which took place in our sister city,
New Orleans, present the most marked at
tack upon the rights of American citizen
ship known since the establishment of our
government. A legislative body of sis
ter state, peaceable assembly, has been
broken into and dispersed by Federal troops
acting under orders from the President of
the United States. To give expression to
the outraged feelings which every citizen
of free commonwealth must experience
at the crime, happily in this country 50
unparalleled, against the principles of our
government, we ask you to assemble, ire
spective of party ties, at Cooper Institute,
on Monday evening, Jan. 1lth.

To he q nei al Assembly:
| | desire to call your attention to the

Federal troops in the organization and
proceedings OF the legislature of "a sister
state. If the reported action of the mill
tary IN unseating persons claiming to be
members of the l. ,uisana legislature and
giving their places to persnns contest
ing the same is true then the
same interference would be legal and
proper here, and it seems to me to be the
duty of the representatives Of the people
of this state to at once enter vigorous
protest against any action that may be made
a precedent of future time for the over
throw of civil government here. Ii there
is law warranting the settling Of contest
ed election cases in a state legislature by
the use of Federal power. then, in my
Judgment, you should request its immedl
ate repeal. If there is no law for it, ther
your indignant protest should be heard a
Washington, insisting upon such action by
! congress as will prevent in the future suct
; hagrant Outrages against civil liberty.
LITTLE Rock. Jan. THE house thi
morning passed resolutions earnestly pro
testing, in the name of the people of Ar

al right to govern their own affairs.
