Fellow-citizens of the Senate and House of R]epresentatives of the Statb of Louisiana: S.GENTLETEN--ly a specifal provision of the constitution, the Governcn is authorized to convene the eneral As sembly in extriprdinary session, w~en ever, in his opinion, as Eecutive, the. occasion demands such a meeting. In the exercise.of such a power at this time, I feel surelhart I have not exceeded the limnitatidns of duty, and I trust that my act will receive the ap proval, at once, ofyonr honorable bod ies and of my other fellow citizens. The condition of public affairs presents a perilous issue, which will require the attentlion,. the matett Ireflection, and the prompt and decided action of the General Assembly. A comlainatiort of persons, vwho, with a singular perver sion of the ordinary imeaning of the English tongue, call Ihemselves "I$e publicans." I e set on f tn an at; tempt to revolutionize ourmmtate Gov. ernment, which if successful, can. only result in anarchy, conf'usion and th' destruction of both the form and spirit of our State organisation. The first act rf the conspiracy was their con temptuous defiance of one of the plain est provisions of tl'e conslitntiyn of Louisiana, where they nominated as candidate for Governor a person then and now a Senator of the United States, and as candidate for Lieuten ant Governoiwa person then and now the Collector of Customs at the city of Shreveport. Article 52 of our const.itnthi , as you are well aware, declares as follows: "No member of Congress or any per sen holding office under the" United States G'vernmqet, shall be eligible to the office of Governor or Lieuten ant Governor." The intention of this article is appar eant. It is to prevent any of :lie per; sons named therein from being candi dates for election to these two high and important offices-to prevent suh persons or officials from using the pow er and p.mtronage of their positions un der the Federal Administration, to purchase or coerce nopiinations and votes. To say that it was intended merely to prevent a person from being, for example, a menibe of Congress and a Governor of our State at tile samne time, is simply absurd. For one person to discharge at one and the same' timne the duties of Gov ernor in this State, and those of a mem ber of Congress at Washington, is a manifest physical impossibility, which the framers of the constitution, and, , I may dcld, of every constitutibn which Louisiana has ever had, well knew re quired too funidamental Jaw to prevent. As well might it have been declared that the President of the Utiited States should not, while holding his office, be Governor of Louisinna. As well al most might it lta'e been enacted that the American Minister at Berlin or the Milkndo of Japan should not be Gov ernor of Louisiana. A constitutioti, as well as any other law, should be inter preted with a resonable re'crence tote ,ireumnstances of its adopti, n.and tmhe evil, if any, it was intended to pre vent. And to say that this arti~c means merely that no one.shall con tinue to be, at one and the same time, a menmber ofCongressantd the Govern or of oar State is not to give it any such reasotnable cbnstruetion. lean seq btlt one oblject in thle minds of those who passed this article, alnd that was to prevent a -member of Con g.res or incetlbent of a Federal office firom using the power and patrunage of the National Government to manilpu liute and seduce a party convention aind then to seduce orintimidate the voters at the polls. In brief, it was inteided to Iprlevent precisely such a scene as was enacted in Baton ItRouge in June last, and such a state of things as now puts in jespardy thIe peace and tihe property of this great Coatnmowealth. 'Consider a few of l'te facts. A Sen ator of thie United .States, a he 'elaime a technicaln residence intthis Stafi, but lho is wAll niglh anr own to thii peo ple,' arrives JCi'e fromn Washington a few Aays before tile assemphliug of the party convention. He is heraded itas thehl coihe the National Administra tion. fur the fflice of Governor. The ColIlectotr of the Customs at New Or leans, tmhe Jitcd States Blarshal, tihe Pnstmnaster, thie Assessor and allec t;dr of Indernal Revennd a;d all tlie rest of !he army of Fede.al lice-hlold ers, thlroughlout the SVe, at once de ilalrbS thit he muiet be iontainted. Tlhe cenvention 'is "h&tsbledj~ a country town, nade O ie gatiiof-i Federa! j ar rimn, .whoq troops &t year before had, under th lrm. same Fed in vrhictm t omwartit is to prietfee t t 4~r thej& chtherg of oi~is "arftt&~" sqlr erailffice-hohlers, who have, under one pretense or another obtained an early admrission,' They are ealled to -'rderiby the United States'Marshal, and informed that he is instructed by the State Commnittee, of which he is chal,niman. to nominate a gentleman whom he chose for tempo ary chair This State committee, let it be re membered, has among its members, in addition to the United' States Marshal, the Collector of Customs of the city of New Orleans, the Starveyor of that )'ort, the Port Wardens, Assessors of Internal Revenue. D nty~ . Collie of the parish of:' Orleans, the Collector of Customs of the' city of Shreveport, and enough other officials to control its anctions. At once a Committee of Credentials is appointed fromn a niemo ranldnn placed by the United States Marshal in the hands of the temporary chairman, and the body adjourns to await the action of this commnittee. The work of exarnmining the creden tials :,f two huntdred and filfty niem hers requires more tlh twenty-four hions. Delegates du elected are asked the question whether if.nlmitted, they will support this United States Senator for nomination as Governmr. Those who agree to do so are prompt ly admnitted, while enongh of those who refuse are rejected to make his nomination sure. In nmany instances Federal employees, non residenits of the parishes they claim to repretent are placed on the roll as 'delegates ini the place of those that have been ex communicated. T15 chairman of the Committee of Credeiltials is a collector of internal revenue in one of the rich- 1 est districts of the State, wnJile one of the other members is a United States Marshal. Meantime the canvass for nomnai tions goesi on. The friends of one of the opposing candidates cill upon the Collectoblf the Pott of New Orleans 1 (a broltheTin-law of thile President of the United States), and ask him to say to a number of delegates that they ate permitted to vote for whom they choose in theig party for Goveri·fr, and that they will not be disturbed in their po sitionsin tihe Custonf Hoiiuse if they ex ercise such freedom of chocce. The Collector peremptorily refuses to give this assurance, and the dele gates retire with the conviyon that their continuance in the ena oyment i of the National Government depends I upon their snupport of the United States Senator, the nandidate"of the Federal offeicials. After twenty four hours de- I lay, the body packed in this way as ;semtbles in the hall, and <h'iti large numbers of rejected delegates, com prising some of tile ablest *d belas of the leaders; rise one by one to prlest against the coimnittee's report, their voices are drowned by the clangor of a brass band and the screams of a crowd of bullies imported from Neir O.,ans for the purpose. The permanent organization is then effected. The Surtveyor of th6lPort o *ew Orleans is made permanent Presi dent, and the chief deputy .of the Uni-. ted States Marshal permanent Seceta-i ry~iwhile the oauter offle s, intlnding the Sergeant- at-Arms, are all (or near-t ly all) Fed(l officsliholdems. T'hen. cail of thie toll discloses the factphat t a maijor\f present were htolders of olfice under the United States Govern ment. The balloting hegiis, and fii. ally the result is 4tnnounced, and the United States Senator is nominatkid by a nmajority of one vote. "Thlen conies tihe tenmpain. Tihe Custom-Hoise is filled to overflow ing with tihe men enltlloyel, ubt for aly use they could possibly be to threir country, but for supposed political it fi nence. They are sent throitgh thie 8te aOs cnnvassers and pullers of wires. A brass band, whose meamnbers are paid as employes of the Qpvertiment, dis eourses nmusic at tilhemeetings of the candidates.
