A Loyal Voice from Louisiana.
SPEECH OF HON. A. P. DOSTIE,
Delivered Iteforeth Union Aaaoelntlon
Of New Orltiana, Janunry U7. 16.
F,ti,ow-CiTizEK8:-Tbe friends of tho Union
and Liberty, In reviewing the events that huve
convulsed our republic for the pnst tour years,
relolee in the aloriou tnet that the most giRan
tic rebellion upon record has been enisled that
the "Conlederate States of America" are but an
Idea of tlie past, lo-day the ttae of the United
Mates wavca over this vast conn ry, proeluitoiu
the blcs8lnp.il of Ireedoin and Immunity to every
iuan of w ha'Boever race or color. Kmblazoned
vpon it ample lolds Is the motto No North, no
Houtb, no Hunt, no West the United State of
America, oie and Indivisible. The leidincc
traitor of the nation the Davids and hrejkin
ridges with many ot lower stump, no.v lan
guish in iirlsioni', awaiting trial and coud-mnn-titin,
or re luaitives Iroin tne Justice ot a people
they have clothed in the habiliments of mourn
ri(t, and who have doomed them to tntrtmy, as
the murderers of thir fMthrs, sons, and
brotheis. To-day, It How-citizen, thu ua'ion is
sovereign. The t'onntitution, Laws, and (Jov
eriimeut comciand tieuson to be i-ilcut that
Justice and Liberty may reconstruct the repub
lic upon a basis that shall forever exclude
siavety, and establish universal iustice.
The friends of emancipation and of equal
rights look triumphantly upon the overthrow ot
that infamous system, which was enveloping,
with its anaconda lolds, our Tcpuolican struc
ture, and undermining by its suotle po.son the
noblest ot oovernmenu, that it miKUt build
upon its rnins uu oligarcnical aespotiin. W
are now a nation of freemen. We claim that
the people lire the legitimate .-onrce ot po.ver.
They command the enemies of liberty to cease
their infernal work.
The Rebellion, which has baptized our coun
try in blood, and caused hundieds id thousands
to h1 with theii lives their devotion to liberty,
has resulted in the liberatiou of lour millions of
human beine. It was a war ol prineiples-of
principles that, when onoe lairly inaugurated,
must result in a full development ot the repub
lican elements which lie at the foundation of
our Government.
The progressive spirit of the age sternly de
manded that the despotism which the aristo
cracy ol the South arrogated over the poor mm,
should cease, that the oppressed sh uld have
lull privilege to enioy the inestimable blcisiutrs
of "lilo, liberty, and the pursuit ot happiness."
But that the lingering aristocrats of the laud
seek 10 withhold these irom the masse', we
have ample evidence What mean these late
convulsive movements of the enemies of demo
cratic rcpuM can liberty throughout the South ?
Why have they combined with the Copperheads
of the North to overthrow the ercat work the
triends of republican; insiitimons have accom
plished in the last lour years?
Do we not discover m their a'lcmpt the
machinations ot a relentle?, hydra-headed
aristocracy repudiating still the immortal truths
"that all men are equally liee and indepen
dent;'' that " envernment. is instituted lor the
benefit, protection, find Reentry of tho people;
that no nee Government, or the blessings of
libertv, can be preserved to any people, but bv
a firm adherence to justice, moderation, and
virtue?" )
Why do tho Legislatures ol the rebellious
States so persistently relnse to reco;ni.e the
fact that slavery has ceased to exist in our coun
try ? Alas ! are not the men who compose these
bodies, and who have met to make laws, the
men who have lor the lust four yea-s been im
bruing their guiltv bauds in the blnid of our
heroes? Have not they murdered thse noble
men that slavery mi"b.t become the corner
etone ot their proposed despotism? Can w
trust there men to aive to freemen their riziiU?
Patriots and statesmen, distinguished lor their
love ot tho Union, and all who truly lov their
-UOuStry. exclaim against tho outrage of having
such rulers.
We are told by the Democratic pu-'.y that this
is Piesideur .foliUHOu's policy. I do not believe
that President Johnson intends to place tiaitor?
in power. I have hud the honor ot several in
terviews with liitn, and 1 was impressed by the
t onvictioii that he i a true patriot, an honest
man, und able statesman. I Co not believe it
will ever be Andrew John?ou's policy to place
political power in the hands of men who nave
labored to destioy the umst beneficent of Gov
ernments His pa-t act-1 aud words have ever
been iu direct antagonism to thn suicLitl
policy. At Nashville, a.-) Governor of Tennessee,
he f.ivs: ''I, Andiew Johnson, hereby proclaim
liberty full, broad, unconditional liberty to
every man in Teunesbce. kelX'lliou sua!; no
more pollute our State. Loval luon, whether
black or white, shall govern the State.'' Azaiu,
as President of the United States Ue says: "In
adjusting and putting the Government on its
legs neain, I think the progress of the work
must be put into the hands of its friends. If a
"State is to be nursed until it uet$ sirensrth, it
must be nursed by its lriends, not smothered by
its enemies."
The erpat problem of reconstruction beiore
the American people is now being solved by a
Republican Coneiess, with which the President
1b in accord. There is no worthy basis for the
Government ot Stat"8 but that basis which con
tains the elements of justice and of equal rights.
The corner-stone of all republican governments
must be the self evident trutus, that "a1! mn
are created equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with inalienable rights; 1 hat
among these are life, liberty, and the ouisuit of
happiness." Shall the eleven rebellious SUtes,
which have declared these Immortal declarations
to be contrary to their policy ot government, be
allowed to send their represent utives tj Con
gress until they abandon their political heresies,
as they have the field ? Does not the dicnity ot
the nation demand this? Does not freedom
itselt demand that none shall be sent to our
National Legislature to represent the vital in
terests of these States but those who have been
steadfast, devoted upholders of the Union, when
the life of the nation was assailed? If this policy
is not adopted and enlorced we shall have treason
aeain in our Congressional halls, and a new set
of Davids, lirei-kinridces, and Hldells will eek
to seize the reins of got prnniuut and renew
their war upon loyal men and upoa the Union.
Heaven grunt our Republic may never acain
u tinininiinrl tn meet rebellion, hecrun bv Sena
tors, Legisla'ors, and Governors that liberty
and civilization shall be (Imped in mourning by
traitors; men who, havinfr tiiken a solemn oath
to maintain the Governmect. betray it, an 1
thrust their swords of treason into the very
vitals of the na'irn. In the name of God, let
our Congressional aud our Legislative halls be
puritied lroni the taint of treason! We cannot
trust men to make laws for our Stale aud for
the nution, who, by their traitorous acts, have
disfranchised themselves have f'orieited their
relit to vote or to hold ollice under the NaMonal
or State Govern ncnts. Let then rouialu dis
franchised until the evidence of their repent ance
is pt-nect. li thi. policy is not, pursued, the
peace and unity of the country will be constantly
imperilled.
Prtsideut Johnson has again auiairain de
clared that none hut. ioviil men had a neht to
rule the country. V Idle Governor ot Tennessee
he said: "Bui in calling a Convention to re
store the State, who siiall restore aud establish,
it ? Shall the man who gave his means aud in
fluence to destroy thu Government ? Is he to
participate in the gvear work of reorsrauization?
hhull he who broueht this misery upon the
State be permitted to control its destinies?
Again he savs: "Why all this blood 'aud car
nage? It was that treason miirht be put down,
aud traitors punished; therefore, I say that
traitors bhould take a buck sent in the work ol
reetoration. It there should be but live thousand
men loyal to the Constitution, loyal to freedom,
lojal to iuntice, these true and faithful men
ahull control the work ot reorganization and
relormatlon absolutely."
These are words worthy a Democratic Re
publican I'rebident, aud we have reason to
believe that our truly republican Coiierevn will
sustain these noble sentiments. Then will
treason be made odious, and eenuine loyalty and
unimpeachable integrity be rewarded. Oui
republic will no longer be iu danger of being
buried beneath the powers of despotism. Trea

son will no longer threaten tho peace, harmony,
and unity ot the na ion. Anarchy, convulsion,
and conflict will be among the tutng ot thepast.
Citizens: -Iu this work of recoi struction, let
n earne-tlv labor with the patriots of our
country to e? tablisu tho principles of universal
Justice and impartial treedoui. That In the re
organization, equity shall prevail. That there
shall be no repudiation cf lust debt, and no
recognition ot the debts of Rebels; no slavery
nothing but iustice. , , .
Should men who made the Robclllon b per
mitted to pos-es8 tho power they seek, an 1
succeed with the Copperheads ol the North in
their conspiracies, we may, indeed, tear tor tne
precious n jon rt 1 berty. We tant no Rebel
party In dlcgulhC. We must not imperil our
elciious hentatie by a nvsludget maananlmlty
towards even thu remains ot an Insolent aris
tocracy. This class are still contnmacious
Rebels, and, as such, are not worthv of confi
dence. Thev must sutler the icnominy due their
crin es, and receive their lust punishment that
workcth repentance.
Long years thee traitors have plotted the
destruction of our Government ol the t onmi
tiitlon ot libertv. Let in hone and prav th:it
in this ereut work ot t he reconstruction ot States
this UutoH may be based upon thu national
recoimition of ail men's innliennble riehts, and
that nothing miy beendanoered bv precipitancy.
As fllr. Coltax has said, "Let the work make
baste slowly," and we can then hope that the
foundation of our Government, when recon
s'ructed on the basis ot indisputable loyalty and
ireedoni, will be as "eternal as the stars."'
trccdom is the watchword of this aire of pro
gress. The decree hs gone forth that liberty
shall rule supreme in this Republic and through
out tho wcrid. The worus ot our martyred
Lincoln were prophetic: "This nation, under
God, shall have a new birth ol Ireedoin, and
government of the people, by the people, nnd fur
the people, shall not perish from the eur'h."
In my opinion, before this work of restoration
can be fully consummate I, this Government
rmiKt recognize aud secure the equal political, as
well as religious, civil, and moral riehts of men.
Sly Friends On the question of universal sul
Irae'e I feel as did Gad-den, of Snith Carolina,
in relerence to the Stump Act ol 176.", when he
exclaimed : "'We stand noon the broad, common
s round ol those natural rights which we feel and
know as nun." The two elements uow at work
in our bind are striving, tho one to perpetuate
trecdom, the ctlu r to destroy the power which
in-lice seeks to irive man. Whence arises this
bitter antagonism to the tree, unconditional, and
equal ritrhts ot the oppressed f Are these rights
not denounced most Hiereelv by the infamous
instieators of the Rebelliou the aristocratic
conspiatois of this country, who have declared,
by words and by war, that power was more potent
tnan riuht, end oppression than equity? Tne
lour millions ot human hemes made free during
the past tour years are not recognized us trced
meu by their former mus'ero. Their rights are
not respected by tnem. The terrible events of
1 he past four years have not opened their eyes to
sight in ll.is matter. They will not look upon
truthB which fire in accordance with the las ot
God and republican principles. Who were the
lo al and steadiest triends of the best of Govern- I
nieiits iu her hour oi peril ? Who came forward
bv hundreds ot thousands at the call of Abraham
Lincoln, and fought with a courage unsurpassed
by the bravest soldiers, helping the nation in
the duikesl hour of danirer to turn the tide ot
batth-, and win the precious victory Ihat made
sale tne Republic? 0 friends! let us be just,
and labor to extend to this portion of our fellow
ciiizens those riehts the (iod of Nature has be
queathed in eommon the riudit of self-g0 7ern
ment cl repieseniation -of the ballot lor until
ibeC rights are- eivcti we cannot become fully a
tuition ol freemen. Refuse the just demauds of a
brave ni.d loyal people, and internecine war,
discord, sectional nnd national strite will reap
pear, in some torm, with their blighting eilects
upon Hie country.
It is s1(ld by the enemies of nesro suffrage,
that this people re uneducated in the scieuce of
government, und Uierelore unlit lor the rijtht of
Biitl'rage. Have they nor already proved to the
world their capacity' t3 appreciate all tn-! truths
necessary to be understood bv the loval citizens
ot the United States in order to maintain the
riahts ot iieenieu? lj we not find them as
anxious lor the acquisition of knowledge as the
white nice ? Contemplate tnm; of the develop
ments of treedoui to this luce. Go into thp
schools of lhe iieeibucn in ttiis State, esta
blished by this munificent Government, where
upwards oi twenty thousand colored pe.iple are
being ciiicaied. Si c with wlrit avidity they
apply themselves to the various brunches of
knowledge. Examine them iu the pronre-s of
'lieir various studies. Tncn, casting a-ide all
prejudice Oi e lu', tell Uo if. the? h!lve not
Caput'1'..? to mill' island and appreciate the
'lincipl'? which lav at the loiuulation of a
truly republican government.
The loyal heart of ihe nation is fully aroused
to the importance of educatingjhe race morally,
:utelieetutdly, civilly, and politically. Tne great
defender ot human liberty, Abralinm Lincoln,
says, in a letter to Governor llaliu, "I congratu
late you iu having tixed your name in history as
the first Free State Goveruorol Louisiana. Now,
as j ou ure about to have a Convention, which,
unions other things, w ill possibly define the elec
tive franchise, 1 barely suggest to you, whether
Fome ot the colored people may not' be let In, as,
lor instance, the Intelligent, and especially those
who have tousht eallnntly in our ranks. They
would probably heip in some trying linieto keep
thelewel of liberty in tne tamilv of ireedoin ;'
rrcsnlent Johnson said, on this question ot
negro suffrage, ''Were I in Tennessee, I would
introduce negro sullrage, eradually, first to those
who had served in the army, those who could
read and write, and perhaps a qualihealbn to
others."
The voices of patriots nil over the lan I are
proclaiming that ireedoni and the right ot suf
irage are iusepnrable. It has become a historical
tact that stands out boldly upon American
recoids, thai the black menoi this country have
vindicated this Government, and "cemented its
foundation stones with their blood." Shall we
ihcu refuse them bupport to maintain the laws?
Can we sav, in justice, they shall net become
citizens ? The voice of liberty, in thunder toues
which shake despotisms and make oppressors
tremble, says: ' l-'reedoiu means universal
rights, universal Justice." That voice has been
always speaking, not only in our own country,
but through the patriots, statesmen, poets, and
philanthropists of other nations. England has
proclaimed umvcrsul liberty and human rights,
lurouun fur wiib'.rlorce, ner Locke, her I 'lit,
her Shake sneare. and her Milton. Ireland,
through her O'Conuell, her Father Mathew. and
her Currun. speaks loudly for the precious boon
ol liberty. Germany freedom-loving tiern.iiuv
-sends lortli Per sweetest note ot Ireedoin
tlirouah her Schiller. Luther, and Humboldt.
France breathed the pure. Immortal flame ot
liberty lroni the tires which burst from the
noble heart ot Lainycite, whose pulse toronbed
with that ot fur'own Washinaton. as they
struggled together lor human rights. Ituly
boasts hei Garibaldi thousands ot voices chant
the strains ot liberty at the mention of that
name, associated forever with freedom.
In cur own beloved land the combined vo'ces
of millions may be heard speukinar tor universal
freedom, universal iustici. Through oar mar
tyred Lincoln, her living Johnson, her Banks,
lier Dutle-r, aud hur.dreds of others, wo sp ak.
Louisiana has her Durani, her Hahu, and muuy
others, who ate raismg their voices in favor of
humanity and universal suffrage.
tan the sneers and scoll's of tho enemies ol
freedom the hiss of Copperheads, or the com
bined powers of any despotism, silence this
voice I Nescr! Ideas do not travel backwards.
This voice of freedom is now awakening those
who have been lighting in the ranks of treason
nnd rebellion. The Utephemies, Bells, and
Reiigans ol the ''so-called Confederacy" have
recently had 'ho peuctration to discover "the
trut h" that freedom pointed to the right of suf
frage. Who knows but we may live to seethe
Rebels who have gone to Brazil, in the hope of
linciiig slavery, return with the conviction that
equal rigblp, republicanism, and democracy are
better than i la very aud oppression.
t.nA inw rlven huiuau beings reason and
enerirv. land man has no right to chain that
reason and energy bv oppressive laws, or in any
way nrevpiil ihn evercise of those rights, which
in equity belong to all. Kossuth, in reviewing
the riehts ol man, exclaims, "Liberty is liberty,
us God in God."
The adoption of the Constitutional amendment
has extirpated slavery trom our country. God
pranttbat all things' pertaining to its uniust
laws or to its spirit may be extirpated! The
Rebel LegiRlatnres have' recently made laws In
direct opposition to the Constitutional amend
ment, which reads "Neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as a punishment
for crime, whereot the party has been duly
convicted, shall exist within the United States,
or any place subect to their lurlsdictlon."
These Legislatures, also, true to their slavo
cratic instincts, ignore by their acta the self
evident truth that man I. as an inherent rljjht
to tnjoy civil, religious, ond political liberty.
There is nut on earth a republic but thin that
leginlates the rights ot man away. No nation
but this distranchises freed men because ot their
color or race. Jn slavcholding brazil they do
not go so tar as do the enemies ot negro suiirage
in this country. In llrazil, trecdmen, weari
less of color, are equal before the law, and
elicible to any office. In the British West Indies,
the blacks were sent to the Republican Chamber
ot Deputies, as representatives. And yet, in what
nation, we ask, have they toucht for liberty as
they have in our Revolutionary war, In the war
ot 1812. and in our icceut treat struggle lor
freedom ?
Id regard to political rights, we do not as a
nation stand on the same broad basis as did our
Revolutionary fathers. Washington, Jetferson,
Hancock, and Hamilton went to the polls, and
deposited their ballots where the nearoe9 did
theirs. These Revolutionary pntnots advocated
the cause of equal rights, and maintained the
rights of all freemen to the ballot-box. The
black man voted under Washington's, Adams',
JlnW on's, ana Jackson's administration..
In live ot the New England States they have
been voting ever since the Revolutionary war.
In Pennsylvania they continued to vote until
1x38. In Maryland and Virginia they voted
until 1832; in New Jersey until 1S3!I; and in
North Carolina and Tennessee until 1835.
Negroes, alter lighting in New Orleans under
Juckson, helped to elect the hero to Congress.
The black people of this country have been
ardently and universally loyal, and ever ready
to tight against the anti-democratic aud anti
republican principles hich despots have sought
to establish In this republic. They ae Ameri
cans by birth, and love freedom with an undying
love, which they instinctively know is destined
for all Americans.
At New Orlcnns, Mobile, and other cities,
how did they spend the Fourth of July, 1HG3?
Was not American trecdom honored by them?
Was not the memory of Abraham Lincoln
glorified by thi6 gratetul people? On that day
the Mack men of this nution proved themselves
worthy to assist in carrying out the principles
inculcated by the Declination of Independence.
They proved on that day their right to demand
ihe same freedom the white man claims.
The negro wants no protection but iust and
equitable laws. He only asks, in the spirit of
177G, to be enfranchised from the thraldom of
oppression. He knows us well as we do that
distinctions siowmg out of color or lace are
incompatible with .iustice. This is an age of
progress not ouly lor tue white man, but the
blac k man.
The black man is becoming intelligent, and
looks upon the enemies ot liberty, lust as tho
intelligent whito man looks upon slavery,
serfdom, vagrant acts oppress tons, and wrongs,
as all just men do. Hckuowa that ihe nution
imperatively demands equal nbts and iustice,
nnd believes, witn us, thai ibis demand wil! be
aati .ticd. He exclaims with the triends ot equal
rigLts: "Let there be freedom ior all, educa
tion lor all, labor for all 1" Justice demands
this, and nothing else will be satisfactory.
Wre want no more Opelousas ordinance, which
prohibits freedmen from coining to to n with
out sperial permission; which prohibits them
liberty on the streets after 10 o'clock at night:
whioh declares that treemeu shall not reside
withiD the limits of the town, unless they bo in
the repulur service ol some wnite person or
termer master; which refuses freemen the right
to hold public meetings, to pream, or to carry
nrms: which reluses rhem the libertv to barter,
or to sell goods, without the special permission
ot their employers, under the penalty of im
prisonments, tines, or hurd labor on the public
roads. Neither must then; persistant slave'ocrats
be peinntted to put into operation those m
lauious laws cnacicd in the Rebel Democratic
Legislature of 18(io, w hich force treemeu to con
tract away their labor, and lUibnnt themselves
to slavery under new names.
We want no negro vagrant laws, no more jail
Ices, highest bidder, leudition of poor and iud'
gent poisons of color! no more reminders ot
the block, the bail chain, the "nigger dogs," the
lugiuxe pe ;,lWs, and the slave gaugs Oi the
past,
Let thi people alone to cn)oy the same pro
tection we tire entitled to claim. Let this people.
with the aid of justice and liberty, work out
their own destiny. If they will not work let
them starve; but give them an equal chance
with us in the ttruggle ot life.
When the slave oligarchy tilled in the pleni
tude of its power, the rights of the laboring
clas-es were trampled under foot. Free labor
wus reduced to the level of slave labor. This
shall be no more. The hat has gone forth that
labor shall not be subjected to a domineering,
unscrupulous aristocracy. A new era has dawned
upon this country. Labor in the future will be
respectable ond dignified, nnd command the best
oitiou ot tne fruit it produces.
The Union party of Louisiana has labored
earnestly and faithiully to wipe out the dis
gracctullawB ot the State, that she might be
et. me oriC of the brilliant lights of the nation.
Abraham Lincoln was the prime mover in this
work of relorniation. His sympai hies were
ever with the Republican movements. His
voice, which can never be lost to this nation,
w as heard ou the eve of his departure troni
earth declaring his sympathy with the Constitu
tion of 164, whit h ienored the Black Code of
this State, abolished slavery, and the laws which
governed it, trom her statute books.
My friends, the Republican party of Louisiana
counting white men only are in a minority in
thi State. A Rebel Democratic party, composed
of domineering aristocrats, who one year ago
were fighting against republican liberty, aud
who to-day are seeking to crush loyal men, both
w hite and black, by a renewed tyranny, continue
their satauic oppressions and wrongs, while
J nicy uuempil" uruw lue ve-u ui u j yee i isjr uvci
inuir eiamuavie cuubjjuui ii-o.
The National Republican parly, to which all
loyal men in the South belong, sees to estabbsa
liberty and iu-tice througuout the land. For
the past four vents it has been working for free
dom and equal rights, against slavery aud op
pression; against that slaveocratic power which
hutes, with uudying hate, free schools, a free
press, lree speech, and all tuai periams to uiai
freedom a jUet God dc-ieus lor this mighty
republic.
V e are called upon to Diittte wun me,je reoui-
lious tyrants. Iu that work: my IrienjE we
must be united, uur pcioveu i,uuiiuu is m
imminent danger lroni the deadly toes of tree
d( m. Let us who love ihe Union and liberty,
torget past dillerences, and combine to tight tne
oppressors who threaten to ciush out the loyal
element ot this State. Shall we -not with our
Prc-fcidc-nt say, "Let us be united. I knov there
are but two parties now one tor the country
and the other against it: ami I am tor my
country"" While we embrace this noble senti
ment, let us inscribe upon our republican ban
ner the motto, "Union. Justice, Confidence,
Freedom, Fuliauchisement."
Freedom must tnumph in our State. Louisi
ana must become tho land ot human rights the
laud where everv ouo can eniov his own labor,
his own soil Where all can claim tho right to
educate their own children, aud have all tho
rights of human beings respected by their
neighbor, and maintain the right3 of self-
government, of tho ballot, and all other rights
which impartial justice claims for tha citizens
of a magnanimous republic. Then we can
vaunt our ireedoni; then will the foreigner no
longer reproach America with slavery; theu
can we say, lu truth, our land is the "asylum of
tlm onmessed and the home of the tree." Men
of every nation shtll cherish It as the land of
human rights the laud where liberty means to
eniov muuhood free and un'rainmelled. with all
the inestimable rights of Ireedoni iu Its broadest
and fullrst meaning. J hen may the citizen
