iS defence ofatlie New Orleans Massacre
& Be Boasts of Pardoning Eebels, etc.
On the 9th of September, a banquet was
given to President Johnson and party in
St Louis, at which the President made a
Icnsthjr speech, from which we take the fol
lowing extracts: .
The rebellion being suppressed, and the
uh nlding of blood being stopped, the sacri
fice of life being suspended and stayed, it
wm3 that the time has arrived when you
should be at peace, when the bleedin? ar
teries should be tied up. A voice New

ierh?ps you would nt be so prompt in call
ine out New Orleans. If you will take up
the riot at New Orleans and trace" it back to
iw source or its immediate cause, you win
find out wfio was responsible for the blood
iat was shed there. If you will take up
the riot at New Orleans antl trace it back to
the Radical Congress cheers and cries of
""bully" you will find that the riot at New
Orleans was substantially planned. If you
will tale up the proceedings in their cau
cuses you will understand that they theie
Inew that a convention was to be called,
which was extinct by its power having ex
pired ; that ii was paid that the intention
was that a nefr government was to be or
ganized,' atid on the organization of that
government the intention was to enf rancliise
one iortion of the population called the col
ored population, who bad just been emanci
pated, and at the same time disfranchise
white men. V hen you design to talk about
Js'ew Orleans confusion you ought to un
derstand what you arc talking about. When
you read the speeches that were made and
lake ui) the facts on the Friday and Satur
day before that convention rat, you will
there find that speeches were there made
uneendiary in their character, exciting that
1ortion or the jiopulation, the Mack popu
tition, to arm themselves and prepare for
the sheddinc of blood. A voice "that's
no," and cheers.) You will al.-o find that
that cocvention did assemble in violation of
Jaw, and the intention of that convention
was to supercede the reorganized authori
ties in the State government of Louisiana,
which had been voeognized by the Govern
ment of the United States, and every man
engaged in that rebellion in that convention
with the intention of superceding and up
turning the civil ivvcrntnent which had
Iwen recognized by the .government of the
United States. I say that lie was a traitor to
the Constitution of the United States
icheers and hence you fir.d that another
rebellion was commenced, having its ori
gin in the Iladieal Congress. These men
were tog thc-re, a. government was to be
Drgaiiized, and the one in existence in Lou
isiana was to be superceded, set aside and
-overthrown. Yem talk to me about New
Orleans; and there the question was to
come up, when they had established their
government a question of political powers
which of the two governments was to be
recognized, a new government, inaugurated
under this, defunct convention, set up in vi
olation ef law and without the will of the
people. Then when they had established
their government and extended universal
and impartial franchise, as they called it, to
the colored population, then this Radical
Congress was to determine that a govern
ment established on negro votes was to be
the government of Louisiana, Voices,
"Never!" Cheers and cries of ''Hurrah
for Andy T'
I have been traduced, I have been slan
dered, I have been maligned, I have been
called Judas Iscariot and all that. Now,
niy countrymen here to-night, it is very. easy
to indulge in epithets ; it is easy to call a
mau Judas, and cry out traitor but when
he is called upon to give arguments and
facta he is very often found wanting. Judas
Iscariot Judas. There was a J udas, and
he was one of the twelve apostles. Oh !
yes, the twelve apostles had a Christ. A
voice "And a Moses too;" laughter. The
twelve apostles had a Christ, and he never
could have had Judas unless he had had
twelve apostles. If I have pkyed the Judas,
who has been my Christ that I have played
the Judas with ? Was it Thad Stevens?
Was it Wendell Phillips? Was it Charles
Sumner? Hisses and cheers. These are
the men that stop and compare themselves
with the Saviour, and everybody that differs
with them in opinion, and to try to stay and
arrest their diabolical and nefarious policy,
is to be denounced as a Judas. "Ilarrah
for Andy," and cheers." In the days
when there was a Christ, while there was a
J udas, were they unbelievers ? Yes, while
there were Jndases there were unbelievers.
IVoices heard, "Three groans for Fletch
er" Yes, oh yes, . unbelievers in Christ,'
men who persecuted and slandered, and
brought Him before Pontius Pilate and pre
ferred charges,and condemn and put Him
to death on the cross to satisfy unbelievers ;
' and this same persecuting,diabolical and ne
fariousclan to-day, would persecute and shed
the blood of innocent men to carry out their
purposes.; Cheers. . , ..y.':. . .
But let irMSJtell you Lletime-give you a
few words here to-night. Hut a short time
since I heard some, one say in the crowd
that we had a Moses. Laughter. Yes,
there is a Moses, and I know sometimes it
has been said that I would he the tho Mo
ses of the colored man. Cries' of "never!"
and cheers. . Why I have labored as much
in the cause of emancipation as any other
mortal man living ; but, while I have striv
en to emancipate the colored man, I have
felt and now feel that we have a great many
white men that want emancipation. There
is a set amongst you that have got shack

les on their limbs, and are as much under
the heel and control of their masters as the
colored man that was emancipated.
I call upon you here to-night as freemen,
as men, to favor the emancipation of the
white men as well as the colored ones. I
have been in favor of emancipation. I have
nothing to disguise about that. I have
triffl rn tin ns much.and have done as much,
and when they talk about Moses, and the
colored man being led into the promised
land, where is the land that this clan pro
poses to lead them into? When we talk
about taking them out from among the white
population and sending them to other climes,
what is it they propose ? Why it is to give
us a Freedmen's Bureau what then ? Why
here in the South it is not necessary for me
to talk to you, where I have lived and you
have lived and understand the whole system
and how it operates. We know how the
slaves have been worked heretofore. Their
original owneis bought the land and raised
the negroes, or purchased them as the ca.se
might be, paid ail the expense of carrying
on the farm, and after producing tobacco,
cotton, hemp, flax, and all the various pro
ducts of the South, bringing them into the
market without any profit on them, while
their owners put it ail into their pockets.
Thisvas their condition before the emanci
pation this was their condition before we
talked about their Moses. Laughter. I
ask your attention.
Slavery was an accursed institution until
emancipation took place. It was an accurs
ed institution while one set of men worked
them and got the profits. But after eman
cipation took place they gave up the Freed
men's Bureau ; th'ey gave us these agents
to go into every county, every township an I
into every school district throughout the li
nked States, and especially the Southern
States. They gave us commissioners; they
gave us twelve million dollars and placed
the power in the hands of the Executive,
who was to work this machinery with the
army b: ought to his aid an t to sustain it.
They let us run it with twelve millons as a
beginning, and in the end receive fifty or
sixty millions, and let U3 work the four mil
lions of slaves. Ia fine, the Freedmen's
Bureau was a simple proposition to transfer
four millions of slaves in the United States
from their original owners to a new set of
taskmasters. IA voice, "Never!" and
cheers 1 I have been laboring for years to
emancipate them,, and then I was opposed
to seeing them transferred to a new set ot
taskmasters, to be worked with more vigor
than they had been worked heretofore.
Cheers. Yes, under this new system they
would work the slaves aud call on the Gov
ernment to bear all the expenses, and if
there weic any profits left why they would
pocket them. Laughter and cheers. Thus
you, the people, must pay the expense of
running the machine out of your owu pockets
while they get the profits of it.
1 know it has been said that I have exer
cised my pardoning power ; yes, I have.
Cheers, and "What aoout Drake's Consti
tution?" Yes I have; and don't you
think it is to prevail? I reckon I have par
doned more men, turned more loose and set
them at liberty that were imprisoned, I
imagine, than any other living man on God's
habitable globe. Voice "Bully for you,"
cheers. 1 turned 47,000 f our men who
engaged in this struggle with the arms we
captured with them, aud who were theu in
prison. 1 turned them ioote. Voice
"Bully for you," and laughter. J Large
numbers have applied for pardon, and i
have granted them pardon, yet thei'e are
some who condemn aud hold me responsible
for doing wrong. Yes, there are some who
stayed at home, who did not go into the field,
that eau talk about others being traitorous
and being treacherous. There are some
who can talk about blood and- vengenance
and crime and everything to make treason
odious, and all that, who never smelt gun
powder on either side. Cheers. Yes,
they can condemn others, and recommend
hanging aud torture, and all that. If 1 have
erred, 1 have erred on the side of mercy.
Some of thee croakers have dared to assume
they are better than was the Saviour of men
himself a kiud of over-jighteous better
than anybody else, and although wanting to
do Deity's work, thinking He cannot do it
so well as they can. Laughter and cheers.
Yes, the Saviour of man came on earth
and found the human race condemned and
sentenced under the law, but wheu they re-
1ented and believed, He said let them live,
nstead of excuting and putting the whole
world to death He went upon the cross, aud
there was nailed by unbelievers, there shed
His blood that you might live. Cheers.
Think of it. To execute, and haug, and
put to death eight millions of people. Nev
er ! It is an absurdity. Such a thing is
impracticable even it it were right ; but it
is the violation of all law, human and divine.
Voice, "Hang Jeff. Davis." You call on
Judge Chase to hang Jeff Davis, will you !"
Great cheering. I am not the court, I am
not the jury, nor the judge. Before the
case comes to me, and all other cases, it
would have to come on application as a case
f or pardon. That is the only way the case
can set to me. Why don't Judge -Chase,
the Chief Justice of the United States ; in
whose district he is why don't he try him?
Loud cheers. But perhaps I could an
swer the question, as sometimes persons
want to be facetious and indulge in repartee.
I might ask you a question, why don't you
hang fhad Stevens and Wendell Phillips?
IGreat cheering. A traitor at one end of
the line is as had as a traitor at the other.
I believe in the "good old doctrine advo
cated by W ashington, Jefferson and Madi
son, of rotation in office. These people who
have been enjoying these offices seem to
have lost sight of this doctrine. I believe
that one set of men have enjoyed the emolu
ments of office long enough. They should
let another portion of. . the people have a
chance. Cheers. How are these men to
get out Voice, "Kick 'em out !" Cheers
and laughter. unless your Executive can
put them out. unless you can teach them
through the President ? Congress says he
shall not turn them out, and they are trying
to pass laws to prevent it being done. Well,
let me say to you if you will stand by me in
this action, cheers if you will stand by me
in trying to give the people a fair chance
soldiers and citizens to' participate in these
offices, God being willing, I will kick them
out. I will kick them out just as fast as I
can. Let me say to you, in concluding, that
what I have said I intended to say. I was
provoked into this, and I care not for their
menances, the taunts and the jeers. I care
not for threats. - I do not intend to be bul
lied by my enemies, nor overawed by my
friends. But, God willing, with your help
I will veto their measures whenever any of
them come to me. I place myself upon the
ramparts of the Constitution when I see the
enemy approaching; so long as I have eyes
to see, or ears to bear, or a tongue to sound
the alarm, so help me God, I will do it, and
call on the people to be my judges. Cheers.
THE NEW 0ELEAX3 MAS3A0SE.
responsibility Located.
General Saird'B Official Eeport.
The official report of General B;tird,on the
riot in New Orleans, fastens the blame pre
cisely w here, in the judgment of reasonable
men, it has rested since the news of this
horrible massacre first came. Gen. Baird
says, it was- notorious that the Convention
was to meet on the 30th of July. It had
been in session several weeks previously,
when it excited opposition and threats of
breaking it up. He adds :
Since the riot, I have been informed by
gentlemen of the highest character plant
ers of wealth and influence, belonging to the
party inimical to the Convention that the
question of its meeting had been by them
fully discussed in all its bearings ; that it
had been proposed, first, to treat it with
ridicule, next to go into the movcment.and,
by superior numbers, to send delegates to
overwhelm and control it. But upon re
flecting that the members' already elected
would be the judges fo the qualifications of
new ones, it was feared that this purpose
might be frustrated, and it was then deter
mined to treat the meeting as an unlawful
assemblage, and as such to break it up at all
hazards.
In regard to the Convention itself and the
legality of its meeting, "the General says :
From the little knowledge I had upon the
subject I could not perceive that the gentle
men eomposing this Convention had any
more authority to remodel the State Gov
ernment than any other assemblage of citi
zens. Yet I believe they had a right to
meet and to talk and to resolve, provided
they committed no breach of the peace.
. Had the result been to obstruct any offi
cer of the State in the exercise of his office,
or an attempt upon the part of any person
to exercise the functions of a State office,
unless authorized to do so by the President
of the United States, I should have regard
ed this as an overt act, calling for military
interference, provided the civil powers were
unable to defend themselves and punish the
aggressor.
The General believed it would be a viola
tion of their rights to arrest these citizens
before they committed any overt act, and he
deemed it his duty to take into custody
those who should unlawfully interfere with
them.
General Baird says the speeches made by
the "Radicals at the meeting on the 27th,
were said to be temperate, and the authen
ticity ol the speech attributed to Dr. Dos
tie is denied. The charge of Judge Abel
he regards as intemperate and calculated to
breed popular tumult. Just prior to the
meeting on the 30th, General Baird seems
to have been kept in ignorance of the plans
of the opponents of the Convention, who
were anxious that he should dispose of his
troops in a manner to suit them. On the
2Sth he sent a dispatch to the Secretary of
war, as follows :
A Convention has been called, with the
sanction of Governor Wells, to meet here
on Monday. The Lieutenant Governor and
city authorities think it unlawful, and pro
pose to break it up by arresting the dele
gates. I have given no orders on the sub
ject, but have warned the parties that I
fchould not countenance or permit such ac
tion without instructions to that effect from
the President. Please instruct me by tele
graph. To this he has received no reply, nor lias
its receipt been acknowledged.
That the police were the actual rioters,
Gen. Baird furnishes ample proof. We
quote a few passages from his report :
No member of the Convention, or friends
of it, if attack was feared, came to me to
represent the fact and ask provision for its
safety. Judge Howell, the President,
whom I have since asked why they did not
notify me of their .danger, replied that t hey
had no conception of it themselves; he and
the rest went there unarmed, not sure that
they might not be arrested or the meeting oth
erwise broken up, but with no idea that
they jvould he subjected to violence. The
large bodytf police belonging to the city
was amply competent at any time, by thrust
ing itself between the two antagonistic rr"
ties to separate them and arrest quietly the
disorderly on both sides. It was strong e
nough to have held a force equal to both the
parties in the streets in subjection until the
hour when the troops held in reserve could
come up. Indeed, there was no hour du
ring the coutinuence of the riot when per
fect order might not have been restored,
by a command to the police from its chiefs
to put up their pistols, and turn round to
request its friends and coadjutors in the
work of riot to desist, to clear the streets
and return to their homes. That the po
lice force itself, the chosen guardian of the
law, the conservator of public peace, should
become the terrible rioter, which it did, was
not to be calculated upon. We knew that
there were bad men in that organization,
and that its feelings were hostile to the con
vention ; but we believed them to be sub
ject to the control of their officers, and, with
all our knowledge of the depravity of the
human heart, we could not have imagined
them capable of such atrocities as were com
mitted by them and their friends against
helpless negroes and Union white people.
Those who contend that the violent deeds
of the 30th uit. were planned, contrived,
and determined upon beforehand in the of
fice of the Mayor,and the orders given out
from that quarter, were careful to give me
no such information in advance, and to con
vey no caution to me as to the want of fidel
ity of the police. To those persons connec
ted with the civil government who assert
that they called for military assistance
.(which is incorrect,) and complain that it
was not given them, it is a suilicicnt an
swer to ask : Against whom could the
troops have operated ? Against no one but
their own organized forces, whom, by a word
of command, they could have removed from
the scene, and thus restored order.
General Baiid comments upon the follow
ing dispatch from the President to Lieuten
ant Governor Voorhces :
The military will be expected to sustain,
and not obstruct or interfere with the pro
ceedings of the Courts. A dispatch on the
subject of the Convention was sent to Gov
ernor Wells this morning.
He says this was ambiguous. The diffi
culty lay in determining who were the legal
authorities whom tho military were expect
ed to support and sustain. Judge Abell,of
one of the State Cour-ts, had recently, in a
charge to the Grand Jury of his district, de
nounced the Convention of 1SG4 as unlaw
ful, and for this, as well as for the ' sentir
ments expressed by him, he had been " ar
Ttetl by the United States Commissioner
and bound over for trial at the next session
of the United States Courts. The question
then arose as between Judge. Abell and
Judge Shannon, which was the military"
authority to recognize as the Court intended
by the President.
The General had no fear that the negroes
would commence a disturbance, but he fear
ed their appearance would excite one. He
dwells at considerable length upon his in
terviews with the Mayor and others, and
again returns to the terrible scones of the
day, of which he thus speaks :
At length, by some strategy, those in the
hall were induced to open the door, when
the police rushed in and emptied their re
volvers into the assemblage. Those writhin
being feebly armed, could make but little
resistance, and the policemen, retiring to re
load, returned to repeat the same operation.
When any ot the Conventionists succeeded
in being passed out to the front of the build
ing, they were there met by a cordon of po
lice, suiTounded by another cordon of citi
zens, and attempting to surrender to the
first, they were frequently shot down by the
men whom they begged to take them into
custody. This course was continued until
the work was completed.
liodies of police are said to have summon
ed to the spot by the ringing of the city bells.
Everything shows preconcerted action. The
police, armed with pistols and clubs, follow
ed and supported by citizens, charged upon
the negroes, having given no notice to dis
perse, and having made n& attempt to peace
ably arrest them. There was a pile of bricks
at hand, and the colored people defended
themselves with these and their stricks a3
well as with such pistols as they had, less
than one to every ten -men. They were
soon overpowered, and those who could do
so found a refuge within 'the Convention
Hall. The building was a fter wards assault
ed, the police firing their pistols into the
windows, and when an entrance was effect
ed they forced their way up to the landing
on the second story, and there found the
door of the hall barricaded.
He sums ud his sketch by saying that the
"riots ot the 30th u!t., present a picture of
"atrocity having no parallel in American
"history."
In regard to the state of feeling, he says
that the police led the riot, and he adds :
All negroes, all Union citizens of Louisi
ana, andallNorthern men, so far as I could
learrr, were in a state of terror. The ap
proach of a policeman they regarded as that
of an executioner. Prominentcitizens sought
refuge or concealment in the houses of
friends, and even the Governor of the State,
during the night, sent for a guard to protect
his life. For days subsequent to the riot,
the meeting of two or three of the police
near the house of a Union man was regard
ed as sufficient to justify a removal at night
or a demand for a military .guard, and with
this state of feeling, whether it had any
just foundation qr not, a renewal of riot and
disorder might at any moment, have been
anticipated. -
For this reason he : deemed necessary a
proclamation of "martial law." -fJThecival
authorities arrested only mem
bers of the Convention and their friends.
They arrested none who were hostile to the
Convention. - - ; .... .
As We observed above, the report of Gen
eral Baird fixes" the odium and crime of this
massacre where it belongs, and justifies to
the fullest extent the conclusions reached
already, and dwelt upon when the massacre
was a fresh topic of interest. The Presi
dent of the United States will struggle m
vain to explain it away before uch noisy
crowds as surrounded him in St. IiOius.
