"I *•) Headquarters Regular Republican Party of Louisiana, No. IG Dryades street New Orleans, Juue 29, 1872. A convention of the regular Re publican party has adjourned to meet on the ninth of August next in tho Mechanic's Iustitue, in the city of New Orleans. By n resolu tion of this convention, the basis of representation in the same has beon doubled, and an election has been ord< red.|gr«,,8.» nmlw. of de'egatps to the same, equal in number to the whole delegation al ready 'elected. The object in this is to afford an opportunity to'ail the people of -this Stute who approve ol the principles herein set forth to take part ia the deliberations of the convention, and in the nomination of oapable, honest and representa tive men, who have their homes and interests in Louisiana, upon a ticket and platform of principles whiçh "shall secure'the support of all the good people of this State. In the present confused and tran sition state of political parties we recognize three universal and pow erful sentiments, which run through the hearts of a large majority of the people of this State, withont dis tinction of party. These are: First—A desire for an honest, economical aud stable government, administered by representative men of character and capacity,'" who ehall be chosen without distinction from any official ring. Second—A conviction that the i nterests of all the people ol t'uL State are identical, and a desire lor growth of new political relations, wluch shall obliterate past class aud sectional animosities, and cultivate that mutual conciliation .and good will which is esseutial to our com mon prosperity, aud to, the perman ent success oi' any political party; i nd ... ...... w s , « . s 4 . Third—A growing recognition o the good policy and necessity of a closer alliance betsyeeu, the vo|ers of th? JSepubUc?»n -i>wty ?uid tiut portion of the native population of the State-tvhich; has hitherto ab stained from ..political affairs ou ac count; of differences treated by the late civil war. With such a «party, based upon such liberal and béné ficient principles, we btlievo that the rights of .the colored poople would be safer aud better protected, the liberty of opinion nud the po litical iuterests of the ex-Union sol dier, the Northern. settler, aud the old Union citizen, more cordially and completely secured 3ud 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. _Iu these preiaiaus, we say to the Republicans of the State that in the Organization and upon the basis presented by us, is their sole hope for electing apy Republican officers tfeeir .,,,.. Tu» Success of the Custom - 3 state ticket nominated at Ba - touge is hopeless , and if the fortunes of thé Republican par - ty ore attached to it ,. its defeat is certain . To demonstrate this , we 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 tne Rc iblican party. Messrs . Packard , Casey, Herwig , Stockdalë & Co. set out to control the Republican convention called for Au£9&&.9, 1.671, in».% iftterest of their. Customhouse ring , with a fP Stato' government at this election for thern selvcs and .their associates. To do " ' oonspiiêd tô control that —3 fc?. ,y ^ mon to j United State and thv fö 1° efi for pp nuo m m It! m eoon Tnitéd i w V' Ctwtom protests v-citizeiv and ^wteni satraps. To ontrolling the pri on of the conven - ^nown .: ^rgaakaion ' .of such ^ Jesars.

To complete these eAraordinarj preparations for a political conven tion and to emphasize the inaugu ration of this new style of coi sulting the wishes of the pcô}>l< , they obtained the necessary orde; from the military authorities und fortified the clossd Customhouse with Gatlin guns aud garrisoned it with United-States st^diers under arms. One hundrejl and ten dele gates to tha convention^ being a majority, disgusted and indignant at these tyrannical proceedings, turned away from the' Customhouse and essoin bled in Turner Hall. The State Central Committee appointed by that convention has by its au thority convoked the present one. On the niueteenth of Juue Mr. Packnrd and his partisans called i; convention at Baton Rouge to nom inate candidates for the State offi ces. The Customhouse cabal could not keep good fslith even with theit own confederates. In order to se cure the nomination of the favorite of their own ring, aud obey instruc tions from a "higher authority,'" they expelled from their convention all representative and independent men, and seated- strangers, intru ders, carpet-buggers and proxies oi their own création, until their con vention consisted of Custom oüa< officials, internal revenue tax collec tors and- postmasters. Customhouse employes, «vhowen elected as delegates to the Batoi Bouge convention were cpeith threatened with dismissal from offi ce by United States Marshal Pack ard if they .failed to vote as, ha dic tated. The lists of delegates eîecle/ •is furnished to tho State Ceetrfd Committee by the parish and ward clubs were suppressed by Mr. Packard for four weeks previous to the meeting of the convention, aud the names of delegates were not allowed to be made known to .members of the com rùittee. Lists of delegates pledged to thé" ring candidates weva manufactured in the United States marshes {office and foisted ijpon flie convention as thè ré^ularly elected delegates. Lobby tickets were issued^ so that all access even to the lobby* was denied to any but the partisans of Mr. 1'ackaid, Mr. Casey refused, iu the presence of several well known gentlemen, to assure his Customhouse employes that their places should not be imperiled if they voted independently of Mr. Pack ard's dictation. Mr.'Packard ami 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 oi union with the regular Republic s for the sole reason that such com promise would intefere with the Customhouse state for nominations. The President and secretary of the convention were opnvicted 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, dromaway over one-half of their own members, and cut them selves off from the whole body of regular Republicans, so thai success under their lead, and with their ticket, is impossibly. This convention , so constituted , in obedience tft tho , will of its mas - ter, James F. Casey , and his chief tool , S. B. Psckara , nominated an ex-Unitëd States ' boflectôr of cus - toms and a Jabnscn Decnocrat and a resident of lUkiois 4or Governor,. w *»° m tb^ ^endeç of tbe mas - sacre of I860, who refused to em - ploy ä single txiiBifed Itwffi in the Customhouse and who refused to vbtefor Mr .

To the ex-Uuion soldier and the native Union Southerner we say that to preserve their interests from the disastrous defeat which awaits the Customhouse clique, and also from the inimical reaction threat sued by tho restoration of old Democratic organizations and prej udices, and to do their part itrwip ing out past animosities '«nd further ing closer and morefriendiy alliance with the old people of the State, as well as to keep faitl) and discharge fheir obligations to the colored people who have stood so firmly md faithfully by them, we have opened the only safe and honest road for them and us to follow. To that large portion of that Southern people who have not hither acted with the Republican party, but who have earnestly de sired a reorganization of political jariies, to secure an honest, stable •economical government, and who ire willing to extend an earnest, full -.nd cordial -rdcognition Of the aewly acquired 1 rights of the col ored men, and also to accord them j qual chances of advancement, man or man, according to their chanc er ability intelligence, we say, .*1 anldv and boldly, that a new era las arrived, which, if approached vvith tho same candor and liberality >11 their side'as on ours, will remove die clouds that have lowered over U3 since reconstruction, conciliate ill classes of our people, and restore our State to its ancient posterity, liguity and independence. We, therefore, for the best inter ista of Louisiana, and all her peo ple, with an honest desire to save .he just rights of all classes—to iu lugurate an era of good fellowship between her citizens, and to restore no our State "a government of" the people, for tho people," aud by the people," invite all who a^rco with alio principles and sentiments above !jet forth to join in electing adition <tl delegates to tho convention ad journed .to August 9, aud to asb*<*'t in there embodying these principles in authoritative form, and in select ing the best men to carry them into execution.

The owners resolved to çiarve the laborers into* submission, and some of the labor ers, driven by their necessities, ac tually returned to their work on the old time.
