ADDRESS TO TOE BEPI'DLICINS
PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA.
AND
of Louisiana, No. 16 Dryades street
New Orleans, June 29, 1872.
A convention of the regular Re
publican party has adjourned to
meet on the ninth of August next
in the Mechanic's / Institue, in the
city of New Orleans. By a resolu
tion of this convention, the basis of
representation in the same has been
doubled, and an election has been
ordered for an additional number
of delegates to the same, equal in
number to the whole delegation al
ready elected. The object in this is
to afford an opportunity to all the
people of this State who approve of
the principles herein set forth to
take part in the deliberations of the
convention, and in the nomination
of capable, honest and represents
tive men, who have their homes and
interests in Louisiana, upon a ticket
and platform of principles which
shall secure the support of all the
good people of this State.
In the present confused and tran
sition state of x>olitical parties we
recognize three universal and pow
erful sentiments, which run through
the hearts of a large majority of the
people of this State, without dis
tinction of party. These are
First—A desire for an honest,
economical and stable government,
administered by representative men
of character and capacity, who shall
be chosen without distinction from
any official ring.
Second—A conviction that the
interests of all the people of this
State are identical, and a desire for
a growth of new political relations,
which shall obliterate past class and
sectional animosities, and cultivate
that mutual conciliation and good
will which is essential to our com
mon prosperity, and to the pernian
ncnt success of any political party;
and
Third—A growing recognition of
the good policy and necessity of a
closer alliance between the voters
of the Republican party and that
portion of the native population of
the State which has hitherto ab
stained from political affairs on ac
count of differences created by the
late civil war. "With such a party,
based upon such liberal and béné
ficient principles, we beliero that
the rights of the colored people
would be safer and better protected,
the liherty of opinion and the po
litical interests of the ex-Union sol
dier, the Northern sottler, and the
old Union citizen, more cordially
and completely secured and the in
telligence and property of the State,
and the rights of the native Confed
erate Southerner be better repre
sented than is possible under any
other practical combination.
In these premises, we say to the
Republicans of the State that in the
oi-ganization and upon the basis
presented by us, is their sole hope
for electing any Republican officers
in the State, and for preserving their
party. The success of the Custom
house state ticket nominated at Ba
ton Rouge is hopeless, and if the
fortunes of the Republican par
ty are attached to it» its defeat is
certain.
To demonstrate this, wc call their
attention to the history of the
Packard-Customhouse convention at
Baton Rouge, which has assumed
to present candidates to the people
of this State in the name of the Re
publican party.
Messrs. Packard, Casey, Herwig,
Stockdale & Co. Bet out to control
the Republican convention called
for August 9,1C71, in the interest,
of their Customhouse ring, with a
view of getting control of the State
government at this election for them
selves and their associates. To do
this they conspired to control that
convention. With this design they
sought and obtained permission to
use the Customhouse building, the
marshals of the United States courts,
and the forces-of the United States
army. In defianee of all decency
and respect for public opinion, and
to the great scandal of the national
government, they convoked the con
vention to assemble in a United
States courtroom in the Custom
house. Thoy rejected all protest»
of their Republican fellow-citizens
with tho imperial insolence and
haughtiness oif Eastern satraps. To
make sure of controlling the pri
mary organisation of tira* conven
tion, and, in'defiance of oil known
role*-for the. organization çf such
bodies, Messrs. Packard, Casey and
their co-conspirators undertook to
debar alT delegates, except such as
they admitted, from a voice in the
election of the temporary présidait.
Not satisfied with this, they closed
mi '
the doors of . the im«
menaç Uostomhouse building against
the publie for one whole day in or
der that the lobby, as wed ae the
floor of the contention, should be
packed by their own partisans. To
further intimidate atul coerce the
to
of
in
is
of
to
delegates, they filled the building
with special d<
United States
marshals armed for the occasion.
To complete these extraordinary
preparations for a political conven
tion and to emphasize the inaugu
ration of this new stylo of con
sulting the wishes of the people,
they obtained the necessary order
from the military authorities and
fortified the closed Customhouse
with Gatlin guns and garrisoned it
with United States soldiers under
arms. One hundred and ten dele
gates to the convention, being a
majority, disgusted and indignant
at these tyrannical proceedings,
turned away from the Customhouse
and assembled in Turner Hall. The
State Central Committee appointed
by that convention has by its au
thority convoked the present one.
On the nineteenth of June Mr.
Packard and his partisans called a
convention at Baton Ronge to nom
inate candidates for the State offi
ces. The Customhouse cabal could
not keep good faith even with their
own confederates. In order to se
cure the nomination of the favorites
of their own ring, and obey instruc
tions from a "higher authority,"
they expelled from their convention
all representative and independent
men, and seated strangers, intru
ders, carpet-baggers and proxies of
their own creation, uutil their con
vention consisted of Customhouse
officials, internal revenue tax collec
tors and postmasters.
Customhouse employes, who were
elected as delegates to the Baton
Rouge' convention were openly
threatened with dismissal from offi
ce by United States Marshal Pack
ard if they failed to vote as ho dic
tated. The lists of delegates clected
as furnished to tho State Central
Committee by the parish and ward
clubs were suppressed by Mr.
Packard for four weeks previous to
the meeting of the convention, and
the names of delegates were not
allowed to be made known to
members of the committee. Lists
of delegates pledged to the ring
candidates were manufactured in
the United States marshal's office
and foisted upon the convention
as the regularly elected delegates.
Lobby tickets were issued, so that
all access even to the lobby was
denied to any but the partisans of
Mr. Packaid. Mr. Casey refused,
in the presence of several well
known gentlemen, to assure his
Customhouse employes that their
places should not be imperiled if they
voted indèpendently of Mr. Pack
ard's dictation. Mr. Packard and
his instruments, when they dis
covered that a majority of the
convention favored union with the
regular Republicans, substituted a
fraudulent resolutions in place of
the one really offered, by which such
insulting conditions were imposed
that union was made impossible.
They refused all honorable offers of
union with the regular Republicans
for the sole reason , that such com
promise would intefere with the
Customhouse state for nominations.
The President and secretary of the
convention were convicted in open
session of fraudulently altering
their own rolls. Credentials were
withheld' from legally elected dele
gates unless they would pledge
themselves to vote as Mr. Packard
ordered them. Finally, by a series
of fraudulent, corrupt and tyranni
cal measures, they rammed the
choice of a small Customhouse ring
down the throats of the convention
in the place of able ane wellknown
Republicans, who were really their
choice, drove away over one-half of
their own members, and: cut them
selves off from the whole body of
regular Republicans, so that success
under their lead, and with their
ticket, is impossible.
This conve^on, so constituted,
in obedience to the will of its mas
ter, James F. Casey, and his chief
tool, S. B. Packard, nominated an
ex-United States collector of cus
toms and a Johnson Democrat -and
a resident of Illinois for Governor,
who was the defender of the mas
sacre of 1866, who refused to em
ploy a single ' colored man in the
Customhouse and who refused to
vote for Mr. Sumner's civil rights
bill in the United States Senate; a
man who has never had a perma
nent residence in this State, has
never been indentified with The Re
publican party and who is a sub
servient creature of the military ring
at Washington.
Their candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, is a Wilderness Senator,
who last winter conspired with
Customhouse men and Democrats
to overthrow the Republican State
government We therefore, say j in
all honesty and candor to the whole
body of Republican and colored
voters in Louisiana, without regard
to past differences, that the only
hope for the permanent preser vation
of their rights and the continued
success of Republican principles
jre^tfc iu the • thorough reform, the
broader reorganization of the ^
and the more cordial relations wil
the native peoplo of the state, to bo
attained under the leadership of this
organization upon tho basis above
set forth. ^
To t he ex-Union soldier and tho
native Union Southerner we say
that to preserve their intorests from
the disastrous defeat which awaits
the Customhouse clique, and also
from the inimical reaction threat
ened by the restoration of old
Democratic organizations and prej
udices, and to do their part in wip
ing out past animosities and further
ing closer and m ore friendly alliance
with the old people of the State, as
well as to keep faith and discharge
their obligations to tho colored
people who have stood so firmly
and faithfully by them, we have
opened the only safe and honest
road -for them and us to follow.
To that largo portion of that
Southern people who have not
hither acted with the Republican
party, but who have earnestly de
sired a reorganization of political
parties, to secure an honest, stable
economical government, and who
are willing to extend an earnest, full
and cordial rdccgnition of the
newly acquired rights of the col
ored men, and also to accord them
equal chances of advancement, man
for man, according to their charac
ter ability intelligence, we say,
frankly and boldly, that a new era
has arrived, which, if approached
with the sam3 candor and liberality
on their side as on ours, will remove
the clouds that have lowered over
us since reconstruction, conciliate
all classes of our people, and restore
our State to its ancient posperity,
dignity and independence.
We, therefore, for the best inter
ests of Louisiana, and all her peo
ple, with an honest desire to save
the just rights of all classes—to in
augurate an era of good fellowship
between her citizens, and to restore
to our State "a government of the
people, for the people, and by the
people," invite all who agree with
the principles and sentiments above
set forth to join in electing adition
al delegates to the convention ad
journed to August 9, and to assist
in there embodying these principles
in authoritative form, and in select
ing the best men to carry them into
execution.

of her husband in the township. of
Missouri, in July last, took place
in a privata manner at the Jtuf To'«

demned woman walked from her cell
to the scaffold, pinioned and with

countenance ruddy and healthful,
and her whole demeanor that of a
person in good spirits, satisfied with
herself and all around hor.
On the scaffold her clorgyman
made a statement corroborating her
last confession, and bidding farowell
to all, and advising all to tuku
warning from her unforitinate posi
tion, and requesting all to meet her
in heaven. Tho drop fell at 8:27

long, as her feet nearly touehed tho
ground, though her neck was in
