Fifth: They know that large Numbers Of colored voters
changed their political associations under the growing
conviction that the interests Of the black man and tho
white In Louisiana dentca that the burdens OF mis-
government must fall all classes and finally most
heavily the aboring Glass; and especially were they
moved to such change by the embezzement by those In
power Of the public funds appropriated to the education
Of their children.
Sr They believe with the people OF the whole State
that large majority Of honest votes cast in favor OF
the so-called Democratic Conservative candidates.
Sepenh: While the people Of Louisiana glad to re
ceve among them the officers and soldiers Of the United
States for all constitutional purposes OF Defense
they deprecate the impression produced their fellow
citizens and the great injury done to the business inter
ests OF louisiana and especially TO those OF this city, by
hasty military proclamatOns and the sending hitler
Of troops and generals IL there in some cOntn
geny danger OF outbreak for whatever be the issue
in the present crisis the people OF Louisiana will not
seek to change it but by peaceful and lawful means III
is longer their question alone but that OF the whole
country. Into the settlement Of the question should
come mistake msapprehensiOn about their actions
purposes. The question now for the State
and nation is that the State is In the
hands OF organization selfperpeuating close cor
poraton absolutely superior to the laws OF the Stae an
organization already convicted of fraud in previous state
canvasses, which is irresponsible to law and pubic
opinion here; an organization used for the Nlcst puI
poses of usurpatlOn and misgoyeTnment hitherto In
Louisiana. IL is for ellOwczcns of other states

mistaken ntenOns-such organization, subyersye OF
all republican government, to be fastened upon louisiana
in her distress who therefore responsible for IT, ana
who find IL holding the peace and prosperity OF the
whole country in its hands, 10 bring TO bear
upon IL such moral force Will, II possible
its honest action In this grave crisis. But IN
bringing such moral force to bea we appeal TO our TEL
Owcitzens throughout the country 10 free themselves
from any notion that in the crushed, misg yerned, ana
suffering State of Louisiana there any purpose save 10
calmly bear and patiently wait the issue under the law
ard the Constitution. IT, condition, with mere
mOckery OF representative government Wo are utIely
pOwcrlcss help ourselves, and appeal therefore,
Is love constitutional liberty To the enlghtenri
parties, and to the Great Ruler Of nations.
