Pear Bacon : I r rg t to say to
riu and through your columns that 1.
as prevented from meeting the p1.- '
P!4. of Riicland in Mass Mhee'ut on
i::t Saturday. Rest assured, Da,'
S::-'.n. I wa3 sadly disaplpi,-n,!c :"
•,t having the pleasure cf Icins rn
hand. And would have been had it
n,,t been for sickne's in my fatI:ily.
Yes, gladly would I have niet my frl
!.w-\-ite.zens and heard an exlrei1an
of their op:inions on the political cori
test that 1ha.s LcCn fasten"d uipon us
by those that ought to have lthen too
dignified to stoop and lower theni
sthres-in the political censpool of par
tihan corruption. But alas! it seemiS
that in this day and time poeltical
corruption creeps as a thief in the
night into the most exalted offices ut
our lasn
Being debarred from the privilege
of meeting you in Mass Meeting I
shall take the liberty of giving you
r.,v ideas through the BEacox. I
]ave yet to know whether the con
Ptitqency that elected me to represent
thlet in the Legislature endorsed my
course or not. I feel to hope they
d1d, as I know that I acted con
scientiollsly upon principles of right.
But, felo\\-citizens, we fiud that we
oust deal with the future. We hare
a question of momettous weight
ncue which involves the interest of the
whole people of Louisiana. yes ! not
only the people of Louisiana! this
question is of vital interest to the
whole people of this gjumonweatb
as a precedent in theb re. And
when 1 look at it from this thkod
point my conviction of duty is platn
to me and with conviction of duty
iriipressel upon me, I shall act upon
them believing that success will yet
he ours. And I will here give onn
lny idea of the duty of every man
that desires to see free government
cstablihsed and sustained in the once
proud State of Louisiana. Let us
each and every moan that is favorable
to republican form of government
resolve to stand.firm in the support of
t he government elected by the people.
Let us resist every effort of the
uJurp',rs to fasten themselves upln
us. And withhold from them the
means of support. Keep back your
taxes from the Kellogg government,
and if paid at all pay to the MecEncry
government and thus hold up its arms.
Gentlesen may ask me what are my
reasons for holJing for success I
will briefly give them: First, it is a
lnown fact that Pincbl,ack organized
his bogus governmennt not by law and
according to the constitutional nmode
but by the force of the bayonet and
regardless of all law. Evidence, the
decision of the Senate committee, the
action of Congress in not seating
Mr. Ray as U. S. Senator. Further,
as the present bogus Legislature of
Kellogg is only an offspring of tlheo
P'inchbaeck concern. Tbhey see that
he, I'Pj back, self elected as he was,
is left out In the cold. And the con
test that many would tell you is at
an end, is virtually the same as it
was on the ninth day of last Dec.
With these exeeptionsw. -We have
: uceeded in maaking'up a ease. We
have forced the opinion upon the
l'ress of the Nurth that we are the
"De jure" government. We have the
opinion of the Senate committsee, corm
posed of the most eminent lawyeosr of
the United States that we are the
legal government. We amre told by
Mr. Morton in his minority report that
if this contest lasted that Kellogg
cordd not collect taxes. And beace
his car of corruption mast atop its
onward progress on this broad rail
way of eternal destruction by with
drawing from it fuel so necessary to
keep it moving. And now fellow
citizens of Richland, with all these
facts staring us in the facee. Shall we
ignobly withdraw from the eoatest ?
Shall we bumbly submit and bow
down our head that the yoke of *p
pressiem may be laid thLbereon ? Cross.
our eands that they be mnoealed
with the ebsias of slavery. If there
Syet runs in your reln, the pure blood
of year forefathers methiaks I bea
