Here are gathered the survivors of those panii-lpated in and sympatliiied with she rrVXTS OF THAT HI8TOBIC DAT and the generation which has followed Uiera, and over this meeting is the venerable and citizen, who, as the president of the Committee Of Seventv. organized tlie meeting which ordured. direete.1 and con'nlied the movement of the 14ih of HeneoiU-r, and who has been 1Y kulu 1'iwideuee to a long life ot honor aud usefulness aud the mjovnunr t'ie ioe, etstwiu aud oonfldence of the ps J.e to whom be has 9 long and unselfishly givn bin services.

Tho events of the 14th of were an almost unavoidable sequenee of the results of the state election of WX to which it is n-ceary that I should refer, lu that year the people of Louisiana, made an almost suiierhuinau ende-ivor rid themselves of the cariietiiag and negro rulo which had been Imposed i.xm them sune ISO-, ander tiie so-culied rs-onstnic-tlu policy of tlie rottr. and wliich had leeu maiiitaiiied by fraud, pro-tei'ted bv Federal iwer. And here I desire to say that the Issues of that day. and of the event which we now commeniorau. had no relation to the war of seeeMMiorf.

nor to tlie questions forever decided in jhat mighty arbitrament. Those of us wt t-wik part in that strug- ele for the So'Hh returned to the dutu-s of civil. life, amnestied and pardoned, with our ilelsres renew-1 n. i ne connrry or mir ilrtli or allegiance, arid as faithfnlly de voted to Its Cottstrfition, laws and institn. tions as our brethren who fought on tbe winning side.

Our personal richt and liberties ha1 been restored to us: the autonomy and of our States had been preserved, and we were in all manner the peers and equals of the citizens of any of the other States of the Union, and our sole desire was to build up and restore that prosperity which we had In part aided to destroy. We had no coiuplainta to make of tbe results of the war. we had no dears to shed over ruined fortunes, of the wreck of the past: all claimed waa the right to moom ana honor our aeaT ana to vmm cate the pur'ty of tho motives for which they gave np their Uvea. What followed thk reconstruction I cannot picture at lergth. We were nnder the forms of law placed under the government of Ignorance and barbarism, controlled in the interest of tEe camp followers and scavengers who were left behind when the gallant Union soldiers returned to their homes, and who stayed to fatten upon what was left to an impoverished and conquered people.

Surlice it to say that the eight years of carpetbag apd nero government under which Louisiana suffered with her ebder Southern StaJ. formed such a chapter of corruption, spoliation, ignominy and disgrace- that tlie people who groaned turner would have preferred military des- rx -tism and the rule of martial law to such a very mockery of tree government. And so far aa Louisa us was concerned, all of this was Imposed upon her by Fed eral power, for the proud and uneenquer- alHe spirit of her pemde was never broken and always triumphed at the polls, onlv to have tlie froits of victory stoleo from them. As I have said they made a FIGHT FOB I.TrE OR tATH In 1872, and succeeded. They carried the State for GreeJy and elected 4omi McKnery Governor ny a majority of and a large majority in both houses jof the Ig-hlature.

This victory was known and ac kiicwiedgca or au nonest men, and mas fully shown and vindicated by the official rettmis. But, when we were abooi to install government we -en met aa hijunotion rrwn a lusted srai court, a mulm'it ordT fiimi a dnwikm ItMlge, under tiie whntT of which ovr tecallv eietited waa tlenksi iwkniM.Mi- the Mate dse: a fratabiient Lecila tire wiaa "knixMieksl." and a fraudulent Stare iinangurated in plm-e of the othcers chosen by the peoji'e. This oa rage uuM not, have tieeti eunnftHnnted by tne roitt-cl sowiimreis and tore bv whom was ik-vised. but was carried no effect- imrter the direct crlers and ajp-b-irf of- President.
