The 0olored Men of Louisiana.

The colored members of the Republican
Legislature of Louisiana, headed by
Lieut.. Gov. Antoine, have issued long
address to the people of the United
States, urging the necessity of the i'm
mediate recognition of the State Govern
ment. They say: We assume there is
no question among Republicans of the
United States that President Hayes was
rightfully as we'll as lawfully accorded
the electoral vote of Louisiana. We who
know what crimes have been committed
upon the people of our race affirm it to
have been a most righteous decision" !"
They argue therefrom that Gov. Pack
ards title is removed beyond all ques-
tion, at least from Republican source.
Tney state their belief that there was no
equal number of voters in the United
States who better understood what they
were doing than did the seventy odd
thousand cOlored men who voted for Mr.
Packard, or who had more at stake than
they in the election of the Governor of
their choice. He had been chosen be-
cause he had been tried and proved faith
full among faithless, because against his
record for integrity calumny had never
breathed a charge, and because by ex-
ecutive ability and personal courage
he was regarded as eminently fitted
for the position. They assert In
no boastful spirit that to the colored
voters the Republican party is indebted
for the election of its candidate for Pres
ident. Not few of our race have sealed
with their blood their devotion to Repub-
lican principles. The faults of the Re-
publican State Governments in the South
have been grossly exaggerated by polit-
ical enemies. The administration of Gov
Kellogg reduced the debt and taxation,
and in this State, at least, under the edu.
cational advantages afforded by a Re-
publican Government, there were few
colored children who could not read and
write" They add that the colored peo-
pie have always stood ready, and stand
ready now to take up arms in defense Of
their chosen State Government il that
course would meet the sanction of a ma.
jority of the people of the United States;
but any organization of colored militia
has always been heralded as the inaugu-
ration of war of races, and this reluc-
tance on their part to further aggravate
the difficulties of the Southern question
has been made use of by their enemies
as proof of the inability of Southern
Republican Governments to maintain
themselves. In conclusion they enter
their most solemn protest against the
proposition to trade off the State of
Louisiana and the rights of the colored
people to the Democratic party for any
consideration whatever, and Indignantly
deny that any man of their race has been
authorized by them or by any considera.
