Article ass.

The article 1856 of the State Constitu-
tion declares with emphatic particular
ity, how amendments can be made to it,
Under the limitations prescribed by
tho last session of the General Assem-
bly, it is plain to be seen that all that
has been authorized, are nothing more
nor less than amendments. Call it by
whatever name you please, and it is
still fact that nothing is proposed to
be done with the Constitution but to
amend 1T.
Looking to the manner Of making
them, the General Assembly, has
not complied with the requjrAnents of
the article 256 of the State Contribution.
1t has assumed power it did sbot pos
sess, and the Governor, though under
oath to see that its enactmeibs should
conform to the Constitution, GAS signed
one which he could but know is viola
''If Il W What IA: 1t did was not intended as
amendments, then it acted without
shadow OF authority in caliDg Con-
ventiOn.
By that article, all that ibhad the au-
thority to do, was to submit the pro-
posed amendments to the electors for
their approval or rejection at the next
general election of representatives, and
if a majority U0ting on said amendment
or amendments shall approve and rati-
fly the same, then such amendment or
amendments SO approved and ratified.
shall become q part of the Constitution"
This ia the language of the Constitu-
ton, and it is all the constitutional law
there is on the subject.
This being the case, what authority
had the General Assembly to order a
Constitutional Convention to make
amendments +?
What power has it to limit the inhe-
rent, indefeasible and inalienable SOW
ereign power of the people in a Consti-
tutional Convention Will some min
ionized Fosterite inform the people?
Were we as people as irascible as
were the liberty loving French, in all
of the 18th century, and as they are
even now, an end would come to such a
system of nsurpation. One of the
great facts was said that zone hour
Of virtuOns liberty is worth an age in
bondage"
We depricate revolution, particularly
when born of cOnvulsion of public in-
dignation, but the truth is we are in the
throes of one now, born Of political in
trigue, and which is destined to sap and
destroy the foundation of our liberty.
All we deem it necessary to say fur
ther, We find in the language Of Cicero
in his Grafton against Cataline. "Qu0us-
que tandum abutere patientia nOstrG ?

An Address to the Democrats of st
Landry.
OPELOUsAs, Nov. Is, 1897.

OrELoUsAs, Nov. 49, 1897.
At its session last week the Executive
Committee of your party called a Parish
Convention for December 6 and fixed
Saturday Nov. 81, for the election by va
rious wards of delzgssns thereto.
This election delegates by the va
lious wards n of utmost Importance,
for il is REORGANIZATION upon which the
grand sWterstructure of al enduring,
Ie.=4 - persaps for many years, immutable
orgahic law for our distressed State
is to be erected. Thee ward cleo
tions, therefore, are and should be to
the thoughtful, unselfish and patriotic
citizen of far greater Importance than
any held for many years. and much
more care than any given to such mat
ters should be exercised in the selection
of the candidates for wardo delegates.
These ward delegates, as you must
know, will select the three delegates
who will represent the Democrats of
St. Landry in the Constitutional Con-
vention. They will also select the six
teen delegates who, as members of the
Democratic State Convention, will have
voice in the nomination of thirty
six representatives of our party who,
with our three parish delegates, will
assist in framing this most important
organic law for our State. You will,
therefore, readily perceive how very
important it is that proper persons
should be selected as ward delegates in
each and every ward.
Among the questions of great mo-
ment that will come up for solution be-
fore the Constitutional Convention,
there ia one of such vast and Overshad
owing Importance that | feel it my
duty to call it specially to your atten
ton. This paramount question is the
restriction of the suffrage so as to elm
mate from our politics the ignorant ne
gro, whose purchasable vote is the bone
Of contention between ambitious poll
ticians at every election and tho cause
of political conditions which are a re-
proach and disgrace to our fair State.
This patriotic task to disfranchise by Il
permanent legal enactment the ignOr-
ant and vicious class of voters and thus |
insure to the State honest elections,
good government and political tranquil
ity has ut last been assumed by our
party, and an era of better things is |
about to dawn upon us. See to it, then,
that in every ward none but those who
honestly aud sincerely favor sweep
ing reform in the suffrage are elected |
as delegates to the Parish Convention.
No matter if he is your bosom friend !
anu efhauehtiy QudiIHcu Ill cFcIy OCHoI |
respect. elect no man as your delegate |
who is not thoroughly sound on this
question. You have lofty, patriotic,
Il sacred duty to perform. None so i'm
portant, none so pregnant with bless
ings to your State has been set before
yun for nearly generation. Perform
it fea s"ssly, austerely, for the sake of
your ctl,ntry's welfare.
