EX-CONFEDERATES LEAD THE UNTERRIFIED No More Coquetting with the Man and Brother— The State To Be Freed from Negro Bule—A Delegate Eulogises Cap- tain Jack—Windy Orators Talking Against Tims Ricumonp, August 6, 1873, Perhaps of all the political conventions neld here since the close of the war the Conservative Convention to-day was not only the largest but the most distinguished in personal character and intelligence, It was marked also in a changed sentiment since the Greeley conventions of last year. The theatre in which the body assembled was thronged with spectators, the parquet being Occupied by the delegates, while the stage, handsomely decorated, was filled by the vice- presidents, secretaries and members of the press, Among the leacers in the body were such well known representative gentlemen as General Juba; Early, of Lynchburg; General William Mahone, of Petersburg; ex-Lieutenant Governor Robert L, Montague, of Middlesex; ex-Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Thomas S. Bocock ; Beverly Douglass, General Terry, Judge Robert Ould, Raleign T. Daniel, Fayette McMulien, and others. During the morning session tt was «spparent that the friends of General James L. Kemper, of Madison county, were largely in the ascendant, but this did mot discourage tne supporters of Colonel Robert E, Withers, who seemed determined to make a fight, and by their skirmishing tactics during the organization of the Convention showed that, even in the minority, they were yet powerful in their opposition, GENERAL JUBAL EARLY was the apparent commander of the Withers forces, while Billy Mahone was said to be directing the manceuvres of the Kemper crowd. But besides these there were @ number of minor tacticians on both sides, ingeniously stationed on the floor of the house. Mr. Mike Harman, of Staunton, a Kemper in, was made temporary chairman of the Convention. In him was vested the appointment of a Commit- tee on Credentials. This was done without any trouble, and alter the committee had retired the body was addressed by several distinguished gen- tlemen. Among them were Judge Robert Ould, ex- Governor Moutagae and a Colonel Hinton, of North Carolina. In these speeches and the spirit in which they were received the animus of the body became easily understooa. The speakers, Mr. Montague particularly, announced that the main issue in the coming canvass was one of race and color or the SAVING OF THE STATE FROM NEGRO RULR. There were no more overtures (rom the speakers in favor of conciliation, such as there was a year ago,when the Greeley Convention met in this same theatre. They were clear and explicit in the de- nunciation of the radical platform adopted at Lynchburg. Mr. Montague summarily disposed or the term “scaiawag” ior native Virginians who deserted their race and went over to the radicals for office, and substituted tne name for them of “Shack Nasty Jims.’ He eulogized Captain Jack as one of the greatest men and patriots of his race the American Continent ever produced, and were it not for the Sack Nasty Jims who be- trayed him, he never wouid have been captured, Captain Jack never surrendered, and he (Mr. Mon- tague) knew the white race of Virginia never would surrender to Bob Hughes and the Shack Nasty Virginians that deserted their race and went with him. They were the Shack Nasty party of Virginia to-day. He was here tosupport tne nominee of this Convention, let him be whoever he may be, providing ne was not a Shack Nasty Jim. Virginia, thank God, was better off than the remainder of the Southern States, because she had pareees. 8 conservative course and had success- ully maintained a white man’s government in Virginia. He then branched off into Cesarism, and denounced that plank in the radical platiorm which declared for the election of the President and Vice President of the United States by a ma- jority vote of the bee The radical party had irom 1860 pursued its course, which was to break down the individuality of the States and to pre- pare the way to inaugurate a central despotism and @ government worse than any imperialism in Europe. He characterized the United States gov. ernment as the most teas world ever saw. Judge Robert Ould, commissioner for exchange of prisoners during the war, spoke too, and his speech was rather ofthe proscrivtive order. He Was very severe on the radical party, but the chief point he made was that Colonel &. W. Hughes, the nominee of the Republican Convention at Lynch- burg for Governor, was ineligible to that office on account of having fought a duel in 1869. The con- stitution of the State DISFRANCHISES ALL PERSONS ENGAGED IN A DUEL and made them ineligible to office. Judge Ouid claimed, as the federal courts had assumed, accord- ing to Mr. Hughes, complete jurisdiction of all matters in Virginia, that it should be brought before those tribunais that he was a disfranchised citizen running as candidate for Gevernor. The Judge, however, did not remember that the duel Hughes was engaged in took place in August, 1869, in orth Carolina, nor that the present constitution of Virginia was not adopted until November of the same year. After the orators of the day nad ex- hausted themselves, the Convention took a recess till four o’clock P. M., at which time a disorderly session, continuing until nearly seven o'clock P. M., too« place. The fight at this time was over. the appointment of a committee on permanent organization, but in the heated and boisterous dis- cussion that ensued there was nothing developed that could be calied factious. It was, however, a fight on the part of the Withers minority to gain time or cause delay, with a view to wear out the majority, and in the event of probable defeat to run in a third man, who would either be John R. Goode, of Norfolk, or ex-United States Senator R. T. M. Hunter, of Essex. Ican see from the temper of the delegates that they were never more in earnest about carrying the State and that they do not disparage their opponents, and all tne indications are that the canvas will be one of the most spirited and hotly contested ever held in Virginia. THR BVBNING SESSION. When the Convention reassembled, after tea- time, there was much better order, and the Com- mittee on Permanent Organization being ready to report, that was speedily effected by the unani- mous election of Hon. Thomas 8. a8 perma- nent President. ‘That gentieman made a very handsome speech upon taking the chair, which was well received and enthusiasticaliy applauded. A committee on business being next in order, as soon as it w: pointed, had its hand juli of resolutions, the gist of which were iederal usurpation, tyranny, despotism and prospective centralization, coupled witn ‘lev- ances upon the subjects of taxation, tariffs, ex- cise and bankrupt laws, tobacco and whiskey, all of which were referred without debate. Then came a motion froma Kemper man to sg into tue Nomination of a State ticket, and this brought several of the opposition to their feet, all of whom were in r of the appointment of a committee on piatiorm and principles prior to going into the nominations, This was nothing more than @ renewal of the tactics of the after- noon to gain time, but the roe men, through Mr. John A. McCaul, of Roanoke, boldly announced tnat they had come here for business—to vote for their friends first, last and always—and he in- sisted upon going into the nominations at once. Quite a spicy and hot debate followed, the Withers juction holding their ground under the leadership of Fayette McMullen, A vote was finally reached about ten o'clock, when it was decided to go into the nominations—a victory tor the Kemper faction, whichnow vate stronger than ever. Mr. Charles Stringfellow then in a very effective speech nominated Genetal James S, Kemper for Governer, in which he said that the success Of radicalism was the overthrow of the great conservative principles which a Virginia rebel announced a hundred yea go, and the estavlshment of federal tyranny in Virginia. He drew a very faithful picture of the conaition of North and South Carolina and Louisiana under republican rule, saying nothing more than what is so well known to be the truth, inst the colored peopie the whites of Virgin! ad no fil feeling. They wished them no harm, but they did not intend to surrender the liberties to which they were born to them without @ Straggle. His apeech was eloquent, and concluding with a grand and giowing eulogy of the gallant soldier he nominated, was Wildly aad loudly cheered. THE NOMINATION was seconded by Dr. Reeves of Prince George. Gen- eral Fitz Hugu Lee then arose as a representative of the soldier element of the State and nominated Colonel Robert E. Withers, whose name was loudly cheered. The speaker then proceeded to present the claims of Colonel Withers in a strong and lorcibie manner, He had been the nominee of a con- Servative convention, but had patrioticaliy Withdrawn irom the canvass for the good ot Virginia, and now that his name had come up again, he hoped the Conveation would discharge ite duty to 80 Crusty and able a son. This military appeal brought Mr. MoMitt to the stand, who in spoke in favor of Kemper, not because the State owed him anything, but because he was the som what could macgh on to vic. or veys : om tory as her standard bearer. Gerieral Jubal Early, wearing Confederate gray, then came to the stand in Wishera’ favor, giving a@ precise narrative his- tory of that soldier's services during the war under himself and Stonewall Jackson. Several other gentiemen addressed the Conven- tion in favor of their respective candidates, proml- nent among whom was ex-Governor Montague. He was a strong and active supporter of Withers, nd made, perhaps, the most direct and stirring ppeek in that gentleman’s interest except that of John W, Daniel, of Lynch- burg, @ young and handsome but maimed orator, whose " very Appearance, classic features and eloquent lai and gestures car- ried the Convent storm. At mid- night this gentleman was atill mpeaeing. and it became more evident than ever that the minority leaders were fighting only to stave off a nomination, in the hope that to-morrow would save the day for Withe: It was A WAR OF CONFEDERATE GALLANTRY and. brilliant fleld records tought over, in which it is hard to say which of the rival cundidates came out best. The friends of Kemper state he did not seek the nominations while Withers’ friends did not deny that he did: that, in fact, he was entitled to it. “One thing was certain, Kemper was at his home in Madison county, while Withers was at the Exchange Hotel here, looking after his — interests. The hour is now one A. M., and yet there is no Prospect of a nomination, though it might be made a@tany moment. Mr. James Barbour, of Culpepper, 18 now making an effective: speech in favor of Kemper. LABOR REFORM. The Sons of Toil in Council at Lowell, Mass. The Eight Hour Question and Its Political Sig- nificance—The Platform of the Reformers and the Black List, Headed by Governor ‘Washburne—Ben Butler’s Back Pay Grabbing Incidentally Endorsed—A Grand Centennial Strike—A Ti- rade Against President Grant. LOWELL, Mass., August 6, 1873. The labor reformers and ten-hour advocates have earned the distinction of opening the political campaign in Massachusetts. Numerically consid- ered, the active champions and followers of labor reform are quite insignificant, but for industry and Perseverance in agitating and advocating their pet measures they are equalled by few and excelled by none. In view of the Butlerism, likely to form so conspicuous an element in State politics this Fall, the party, however feeble in strength, is regarded as of more than usual conse- quence, and on account of this disaffected members of the republican party are extremely anxious. The gathering here to-day comprised something over @ hundred of the most prominent labor re- form philosophers, and among the number were @ few of the weaker sex, in- cluding such as Emma Lane, Jennie Col- ling and the charming flaxen-haired Doctress Mullican, of Boston. Mr. Chamberlin, twice the gubernatorial candidate of his party, and Judge Crowley, of this vity, were probably the most dis- tinguished members of the Convention, The body, on the whole, was comprised of intelligence and earnestness, which elther elemont of the republi- can party will do well to cultivate. The matter of making nominations for State officers was cau- tiously discussed before thé Convention was called to order, and it was finally agreed upon by the leaders to refrain from nominating a State ticket. BARKIS NOT WILLIN’. General Butler had been consulted jut the use ofhis name before the Convention, af@, while he expressed sympathy in the ten-hour movemeiit, it was his wish that his name should not be brought Up as a candidate, for he feared it would hurt him at the regular Repablican Convention. ‘The General’s wishes were kindly respected, but his mame was nevertheless fre- quently alluded to im the course of the discussions of the day. Some of tne members of the Convention criticized and opposed him, chiefy on account of his salary-grabbing proclivities. The majority of the members seemed favorable towards him, and it may be safely assumed that the party will generally £°, for Butler for the next Governor. Judge Charles Cowley of this city was selected as Chairman of the Convention. THE OHAIRMAN’S SPRECH. In his opening remarks he untertook to criticise the proceedings of the day so far as the nomination of candidates for State officers was concerned. He was opposed to any such proceeding, remark- ing that there never had been a Massachusetts Governor who would sign a bill for a ten-hour law, and probably there never would be. What they should do was to work for the election of a Legislature which would pass such a bill and he eit sure that it would receive the approval and signature of the Governor. He re- garded the present as a most favorable time to agitate the question which they had met to con- sider, for within a few months the mill owners of Fall River, the largest manufacturing city in America, had advanced half way to the rale of ten instead of eleven hours. Lawrence, too, had {ol- lowed in the lead of Fall River, and even some few steps towards the system which they all desired. The Judge LOOKED HOPEPULLY UPON THE “GRANGERS ,”” and said that, aiter having defined their policy to be pursued concerning the hours of labor, it should be their pleasure and duty to extend their trater- nal congratulations to the farmers of the West and tender to them their best wishes for success in their efforts to procure cheaper transportation from the prairies of the West to the tidewaters of the East. THR REFORMERS’ PLATFORM. went promptly to work. The matter of nominat- ing a State ticket having been disposed of ad- versely and satisfactorily, a Committee on Resolu- tions was appointed and a long series of resolves was the consequence. The preambies which pre- ceded them were as follows :— Whereas, to the shame and disgrace of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts and to the civilization of the nineteenth contury: tens of thousands of women and ehildren are compelled by their poverty to work amon, dangerous, belting and machinery, in everheuted an badly ventilated rooms, eleven, twelve and even iourteen hours per day, while in England for more than a quarter ofa centnry the ten-hour system has been in operation and works more than five hours in auy one day; Whereas, the republican and democratic through their conventions, their leading men and news: Papers, have constantly’ aud systmatically ignored, neglected or sneered at the claim of the factory opera: tives of Massachusetts for a ten-hour law; Whereas. this measure is founded upon the wisest prin- ciples of a true political economy: as well as upon the claims of justice and humanity, its operation not oul tending to the improvement of the people throug! beter sanitary conditions, but acting as such measures always have and ‘will upon the causes that govern wage increased ania better home market thus opened for the varied products of our industry; and whereas for the last twenty-five years hundreds of petitions have been pre- sented to the General Conrt, asking, tor effective legisia- tion upon this subject, without avail, Resolved, That we, the factory operatives and their friends, in Convention mbled, postponing all other issues, do pledge ourvel First, to vote for no candi- date not pledged by his past acts and a free and ex- plicit avowal of his purposes to vote tor_and uid by his voice and influence @ good and effective Ten Hour law. Resolved, That we do our utmost to defeat or to cause to be defeated those Senators and Representatives who Voted against the desired legislation, and we especially mark the Hon. Martin Griffin, of Boston, Chairman of the Labor Committee; Hon, Charles P. Stickney, of Fall River, and Hon. §, W, Harm ft Law. rence, who, by their influence, treachery and double-dealing defeated the bill, as' unworthy the sup- Port or vote of any workingman.’ We hereby cal! upon the Workingmen ot all parties to remember them and their colleagues, Hon. James Brown, of Bristol; Isaac W. Coe, of New Bedford; Robert U. Fuller, of Cambridge Newell Giles, of Bwsex; W. H. Learned, of B&ston; Tim: othy F. Packard, ot Hampden; Geo A. Torrey, of Worcester: Carroll D. Wright, of Reading. Resolved, That His Excellency the Governor, William B. Washburn, in carefully ignoring the tem hour ques- tion and in yielding to the demand of the cotton lords, banking capitalists, tenement house owners and labor retorm de ues for the removal of the officers or the Bureau istics of labor, and the subseqnent ap Polntmeat of a Senator who voted against the Ten Hour ill, deserves the unqualified censure of all, those inter- este in this measure and who favor impartial labor in- vestiga- tion. DISCUSSION OF THE RESOLUTIONS, When the question of adopting the resolutions came up there ensued a very lively discussion; but they were finally adopted and by an almost unani- mous vote. The objective points of the resolutions were the denunciations of Mr. Griffin and other State Senators, who professed to be friendly to the labor cause, but when they came to the scratch voted directly against the Ten Hour bill. Among those who took art in the discussion was Miss Lane, of Lynn, who lieved the true way to get the Ten-Hour bill through the Legislature was to employ the lobby agents, the same as railroad corporations did when they desired special leg! jon. She was very bit- ter In her demunciation Senator GriMin, of Bos- ton, for betraying the labor party and its cause, AN ARTFUL DODGRR’S EPITAPH. He was an artiul dodger, she said, poetically ex- clawing, “his epitaph should be— he body of Martin Grimn, Who dodged all kinds of evil; Who dodsing lived and dodging died, But he couldn't dodge the Devil!" The only anti-Butler element that was shown upon the surface of the Convention was in the shape of a resolution, which was offered towards the close of the session by J, V. Chase, of Boston. ‘The obuoxious declaration was as follows :— A BLAST AGAINST BACK PAY GRABBERS, Resolved, That this Convention of Workingmen re- cognize (he recent Congressional salary grab asa clear steal aad consider tose Why voted therefor, and alse bo artes, S After Judge Cowley’s speech the Convention | he purchasing power of wages will be | ‘President, who lobbied for and stenad the bin, as piim oe more Worthy of the Penitentiary than of public Immediately when Mr. Chase had finished read- ing His resolution there was a medley of cheers and hisses, the hisses, however, almost drowning the applause. Then followed promptly @ motion to lay the resolution on the table, and it was tri- umpnantly dis) 1 of in this way by @ vote of more than twet to one, Ben Butler being thus incidentally endorsed, Mr. Lyden, of Charlestown. offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee by the Convention to correspond with representative labor men in every State in the United states,with vew of calling a national eight hour convention \d precipitate A UNIVERSAL EIGHT-HOUR STRIKE we all the working people of both sexes throughout the country on the Fourth of July, 1876, the centen- nial anniversary of American independence. ‘The resolution met with general favor and was unanimously adopted.. Ayother Charlestown delegate offered a resolutfon rebuking Judge Hoar, late Attorney General, for his construction of the Eight-Hour law, and thanking Generat Grant for ignoring Mr. Moar's opinion. One of the delegates, ina very excited manner, declaimed against Grant at considerable length, stigmatizing him as tyrant, an iguoramus and the greatest imbecile of a fool that God Almighty ever made. These hard words found a hearty response from the Convention, and the por- tion of the resolution thanking General Grant was immediately squeiched, THE MASS MEETING IN THE EVENING, The day's proceedings had a@ handsome and enthusiastic wind-up by a grand mass meeting in the evening. About two thousand were pres- ent, including alarge number of the mill opera- tives of both sexes, and the stirring speeches of the evening were pleasantly sandwiched with inspiring music from a Canadian band. Judge Cowley presided, and the first speaker was Ira Stewart, of Cambridge, who favored the support for oMice of only such men as are unequivocally pledged as friends and su) porters of the working classes, George E. McNeil, of Cambridge, made a speech of similar purport, aud so also did Edwin M. Chamberlain, of Boston, The chief event of the evening, however, was the introduction of a Butler resolution by the chair- man Of the meeting, a feature of the proceedings ourely unexpected, ‘The resolution was as tol- ows :— BEN BUTLER BACKED, Whereas Genera! Benjamin F. Butler has announced his purpose to permit the use of his name in the ensuing canvass Jor, te ofice of Governor, and his opponents, many of whom ure opvosed to the Ten-hour law, are oxtraordinary efforts to secure bis defeab solved, That it is alike our plcasure and our duty as true men to stand loyally by our friends when they are struck at by our enemies; that we hold in vivid and rateful remembrance the able, eloquent, persistent and aithful efforts of General Butler in former years to secure the enactment of the Ten-hour law; that all his utterances on this subject in later years are in full accord with his speeches in this hall twenty Re ago; that we have entire confidence in him as the [ife-lony mi untiring champion of the Ten-bour law, an i mame De submitted for the suffrazes of the p:ople in der next we pledge to him our earnest support af the polis.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., August 6, 1873, A German Nationai Constitutional State Conven- tion met here this afternoon and organized by the election of Conrad Kretz, of Sheboygan, President, and D. Bloomenthal Secretary. Resolutions were adopted denouncing all sumptuary laws; advocat- ing free trade; deprecating corruption in govern- ment officials; opposing all parties maintained through corruption in opposition to the ruled; condemning the back pay measures of Congress; asserting Church and State should be separate, aud endorsing the frst amendment to the constitution in that respect, While they deplore the habit of excessive drinking they will oppose all laws interfering with the inherent rights guaran- teed by the constitution of the United States; opposing centralization and monopolies; advocat- ing Gren transportatio: hat the State should not legislate to interfere with the government of cities, and inviting all parties, races and colors to join them. The organization 1s to be permanent, and is to meet annually on or before the first of September in each year. ‘The last resolution is as follows :— Resolved, That the members of the Constitutional Union in ho way or manner will support any political party or candidate for office that does not heartily en- lorse and advocate the principles of our platform.

The Democratic State Central Committee held a meeting to-day, and assigned September 3 as the time an Worcester the place for holding the regu- lar State Convention. The session was private, but it ts rumored the committee indulged in a pretty warm discussion upon several matters con- cerning the present political outlook. The ques- tions of prohibition, the recent movements of the State Police Commissioners and kindred subjects came up upon @ motion or a suggestion being made that efforts be put forth by the party to secure the repeal of the present sumptuary laws in regard to the liquor trac, and that agitation in favor of a wholesome license law be commenced and persisted in throughout the coming campaign, This was met with strong opposition, and an animated and rather pointed discussion ensued, in which it was openly charged that the liquor dealers in Boston were in favor of the prohibitory law and in league with the State constables, whose corruption they con- nived at and aided and abetted. The meeting then adjourned, without taking any definite action upon the matter. SAN FRANOI300 TAX PAYERS’ CONVENTION. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 6, 1873. The Tax Payers’ Convention of this city has not yet found a candidate for the Mayoralty. POLITICAL NOTES. The St. Louis Times (democratic) styles the new | party Convention at Columbus a “wretched and ridiculous affair.” It calls it the ‘“Hyde-and-go- seek party.” The Republican (democratic) of that city approves the movement. Judge Hoar refers to Ben Butler as the Tich- borne claimant of the Massachusetts Governorship. The Montgomery (Alabama) Advertiser re- marks:—‘In less than four years the probabilities are that Ulysses 8. Grant will waik to the scaffold or mount @ throne.” To which an editor at the other end of the political line, the Pittsburg Com- mercial, retorts:—“The certainty is that in leas than four days the lunatic who indited the above should be in a straight jacket or mount a dunce- block.” W. B, Machen, who desires to succeed Governor Preston H. Leslie in the Executive chair of Ken- tucky, has written @ five-column letter in defence of the back-salary grab. He says “there is no moral distinction between front pay and back pay, and the equities are about equal.” Machen 13 worse than Ben Butier. The Albany Argue is severe these dog days. Witness this froma “leader” in Monday's paper headed “The Perambulating government”: It is several years now since the President of the United States remained at his post at Washington areasonable portion of his time to attend to the business of the people. And the more he runs away from duty the more he is paid for his recre- aucy. His salary is now $136 98 per day—doubie the amount paid to Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. They tried to earn the money re- ceived from the public treasury by strict attention to the duties of their high station. Grant leaves the capital and spends his time at watering places, and making flying visits whenever he can give local importance to some favorite. Some weeks ago he visited a horse stable in Orange county; last week he visited another hosteiry in Ulster county. His visits lead in all directions except to- ward the duties he was chosen to perform, RAILROAD MURDER. Smash-Up on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Road=Two Killed and Sever njured. Ontcaco, Ill., August 6, 1873. On the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, near Napierville, yesterday, the locomotive of a passenger train ran into the rear end of a stock train, smashing the caboose into fragments, in- stantly killing Arthur Briggs, the conductor, and @ drover, whose name could not be learned, and seriously injuring J. 0, Morrow, a eattle dealer, of Afton, Iowa, The brakeman and several drovers were in the caboose, but escaped with slight in- juries.

Insists that our tartff laws should be formed with a uo, and not to tax the community tor the benefit of particular industries. It recognizes the evils of irre- deemabie currency, but insists that in the return to specie payments care shall be taken not to seriously dis- turb the business of the country or unjustly injure, the debtor class. It appreciates the benefits conterred by railroads, but opposes all COMBINATIONS OF RAILROAD COMPANIES to prevent competition and thus enhance the cost of transportation. It opposes all laws that give to capital any advantage over labor. It requires honesty and economy in every department ot the government, ted- eral or State, and it condemns corruption, whoever may be the guilty'parties, itisin its very nature and as a necessary result of tts principies a party of progress. and supports all measures ot retorm or Improvement that are sanctioned by justice and commended by sound practi- cal wisdoin, That the woalth of the country is the product \d the best use ot capital is that which gives employment and liberal wages to the producing classes ; hence every just measure that tends to protect them trom vppression and to improve their condition and dignity their cali.ng deserves and receives our sympathy and support; @ad that we cordially recommend tue conser: vative resolutions adopted at the recent National Labor Congress at Cleveland tavoring arbitration and co-opera- nut to legislate for ti Broivea, That although always constituting a large majority of the American people, agriculturists hav never demanded of the government, state or tede any special privilege; have never infested the hall: Congress or the Legislature with lobbyists and riags, but, on the contrary, have suffered under DISCRIMINATING AND UNJUST LAWS, until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue.’ We hereby pledge our sincere and honest efforts to obtain for them a redress of their grievances and equal and exact jus. tice.

To remedy these evils, we insist that receipts and expenditures of the govern: ment shail be diminished; thatits patronage shall be curtailed and all useless offices abolished; that it shall cease to usurp functions to which it has no title; that official misconduct and fraud and corruption in elections shall be rigorously punished, and that public virtue shall be upheld and want of It coudemned by the united voice of the people.

Resolved, That the act ot the President in setting up by the bayonet a government in Louisiana not chosen by her people, and having no title whatevor to rule over them, was a flagrant violation of her rights and of the tederal constitution.
