Re.oaed That we damobee the outrageous set f the wederal oE cials connected with the late State Central Committee for having - tempted to pack this convention with their chosen adherents, against the expressed will of the Republi cans of the State. We denounce themr for having called the convex tion to meet in a United States courtroom in a United States COu tomhonse; we denounee them for having attempted to intimidate the convention by surrounding it with arm1,tl special deputy marshals; we denounce them for having closed the doors of the' courtroom and having barred the entrance of the Customhouse; we denounce them for attempting to exclude from this convention ninety-five delegates of the people, who were met at the threshhold by tw6 companies of the United State army, called out! by these men to desist in carrying this convention against the will of the people. We denounce their whole conduct in connection with the ca:rlling out and assemhlling of this body. They were guilty of eIeerv unfairness in the progress of the elections for delegates. They were guilty of simulation and fraud iii connection with' the determina tit, of the'lime and place of meet inl. They finally established, with out authority, certain pretended l Irlts relative to the admission of dele!ates, calculated to further their siellinme. They admitted to the con vention hall, or to an adjourning irtl, with an open door their fraud ulh.nt delegates, while the doors were kept closed against the bona tide Imtemtbers of the convention un til the ho,ur of meeting, in order that they might spring and force an organization under the protection of the revolvers of their marshals anih the bayonets of their soldiers. It..tdJred, That we express our con viction'that these outrages we'e not perpetrated with the knowledge or consent of President Grant; we disl. lieve the statement of Mar salI Packard to that eftect; we pro claim our earnest hope that our President will repudiate the acts of these men, and we declare that we will only withdraw our hearty supportr and endorsement of him wlht, we shalt learn that we wIn'r outtraged and insulted by his ofti cers after consultaion with him,. anul Iv his advice and consent. l: .drltl, That we believe that the President alone can unite and Fharmonize the Republican organi zation in our State. Several of his ,ftice holders have formed a combi nation with an insignificant bolting faction of the Republicans, but they scecrt determined to rule or ruin the party. Therefore, for the pur pose of healing these differences anId to insure our success in 1872, «, respectfully request from the Prts':dent the removal of Marshal Packard, Collector Casey, Assessor ,loubert, Revenue Collector Stock dale. Special Deputy Collertor Her wig and" Postmaster Lowell, and we ask the appointment of men who will suppott the Republican party of Louisiana. R,.','ed, That the iresident of this convention Ihe requested to ap point a conmmittee of twenty Re unblicans to wait upon President (ilranllt, and to represent to him the facts stated in the above and fore going resolutions. ADDRFS itF THI REPUBLICWAN STATE CONVENTION. To the peopi. of the State of Louisiana: We, the delegastes of the Repub lican voters of the State, assembled in State convention in coahpliance with the cell of the Republican State Central Committee, in view of the extraordinary oceaurences which have sattelnded oPr session, andl of the unparalleled sad astoad ing attempt of a few federal oficials to hoke and .stide the freedom of d1ebate, nad to meame the personal alibeties and the live of the repre smtatives of the peqle, dee it ad Webl and jast .to at bef~e the go-d people of the State a plain statement of thmawwamsoees. qad of the effort, on the lpas.of a smp number st -e n high ealqhy madw' the feduml Comrmeut. to yS aesudihmtta a t yes i eonvenmtem. We ae ld to this cobase is raier sh the paspip ash alone of this Sh% bIAeLdh whets conutry, may heedid of1 4 t ,et, as alarming as th . rep, gmeal among the Ameiaza people, ad may judge aright of the nature of the ofense and the repnedy to be On the second day of July, the State Central Committee of the Re publican party issuoned their call for a State convention, to assemble in New Orleans, on August 9. The resolution, a rprMested by Mr. Ray a member of the ebihittee, and adopted by the committee, spe cified the hour--12 M. of that day --and the place-the Meclunics' Institute. This resolution, before it was sent to press, was mutilated by a surreptitious omission of the hour and place, and as the call was printed, no place of meeting or hour was named. As the time of assembling the convention drew near, this irregular and unprece dented omission excited attention and caused frequent applications from the people to be made to the Central Co~mmittee, asking them to correct the omission and to name the hour and place of the meeting. This just and reasonable request they evaded, and deferred answering, until the morning of the conven tion. To seem to shift the responsi bility of any evil motives which be ascribed to them, they passed, a few days before the meeting of the con vention, a resolution, epwlxweriag the Presilent of the State Central Committee, at his individual dis cretion, to fix the hour and the place of meeting, and give notice thereof, leaving with him the arbi trary discretion to delay such notice, if he saw fit, even to the last minute of the day 'ixed by the commuittee for the notice. This action was in itself good cause for the representatives of the people to have taken the matter into their own hands, mid to have issued their own call, naming the time and place of Iweting. But with a forbearauce un·examplled, and a suffirance of usurpation most piatient, they aw/ited the action of the State Ce(ntral (ommitteo until the last day. It has been the ens torn of Repititan conventions for years to assemble in the Mechanics, Institute, where there is a public hall open to all the people. This hall was then, as always, at the ser ,ice of the convention. Judge of the surprise of the whole people when, on the morning of the last day that notice could issue, Mr. Packard, United States marshal, issues a notice designating the United States Customhouse as the place of meeting. Unusual' extraordinary and im proper as this action was --sg gesflve as it was of federal officious ness awl interference, and calculat ed as it was to alarm the people - it was but the least and the most inoffensive of a series of acts which followed close upon the heels of each other, of the most flagrant usurpation. It was announced by the com mittee that the public would'be ex cluded from the Custonhouse build ing, that no delegate bshould be ad mitted until be had lied his creden tials with them and received at their hands a ticket of admission, and that even then, after all of these un heard of precautions to secure a packed convention, secluded from and beyond the reach of the publif eye, in the dlark recesses of the United States Cuatomhouse, the committee capped the climax of their daring and unblushing out rages by deelaring that they would recognime no person. as a delegate, tfor the pumrpes of pliminiaary or ganiation, except those whose names they themselves had pldeaed upon a roll, thus nndertaking to ex eluode at ,one stroke ninety of the one hundre4 and sixteen delegates elect. Notwithstanding all this wq, your delegates, 'forthe b ske of thtinity of the party, and i order that the total weapo sibility of any division rble tt.ga userping and ca rug Cimasi iousa oascial, zeelei to go t the last extreme of ppsieain, and even of aubmis $94 ahplt o disho or.
