The honorable Senator from Massachusetts has sent up this article and had it read in its entirety. he has made it a part of his speech. I say as a person who knows the people of that parish. and the people of the State. that the greater portion of it is a calumny upon a respectable. reputable. hardworking. intelligent. and industrious people. He has made it a part of his speech. he has published this calumny against the people of Louisiana. and he has indulged in a long homily based upon it. giving advice to those people to change their modes and manners. to profit by this statement which has been made public before the good people of New England. to reform and make their country such that it will be fit to receive emigration from the State represented by the honorable Senator. a State where the people bask in the sunlight of education and morality. where the church and the schoolhouse are opento all alike. and whereit is to be supposed all the people of that Commonwealth derive benefit from the benen cent institutions which it has provided for their education and their moral culture. Without any intention of saying that what I am about to send to the Clerks desk and have read as a part of my remarks applies to all the people of Massachusetts. without my intending to charge upon the people of Massachusetts that the crime committed in Massachusetts which is recorded here is a crime at all common to that people or for which that people collectively can be held responsible. I say that whatever crimes may occur arising out of violence. out of intemperance. or out of angry feeling among the people of some portions of my State or the people of the South. no such crime as ishere recorded could ever have occurred in the State of Louisiana.
