Palmer in the recent anti-lottery meeting in this city to reeort to revolution if necessary in order to defeat the reclmrter of the Louisiana Lottery company continues to meet with applause and etipport in north Louisiana. At a mass meeting in Lincoln parish the sentiments of the Rwrtin and Arcadia meeting were ap proved and the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, We scorn the worshipers of Mammon and scoffers of religion, the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker, and be lieve that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and recognize the right of the people to take the helm of government into their hands, either by revolution, as our fore fathers did, by a resort to arms, or as Cromwell did, by dissolving parliament and beheading the King, or as the peo ple of New Orleans did in destroying the Mafia. Therefore be it resolved. That we, the people of Lincoln parish, in mass meet ing assembled, solemnly declare oar op position to the Louisiana State Lottery company, and look upon its advocates as men dangerous to the community and disloyal to the brat interests of the statethat we consider that the crimes have been bo great and its menaces are so dangerous that we are justified in pledging ourselves in every line of de fense open to free men against the briber and perverter of free government. At Bonita, in Morehouse parish, at Culbertson in Lincoln parish, and at a large number of other smaller towns and villages in the northern portion of tbe state where the opposition to the lottery company is strongest. Dr. Pal mer’s anti-lottery speech and appeal to revolution was read in lieu of the decla ration of indep ndence at tbe Fourth of July celebrations held. These sentiments have hitherto been confined to .the country parishes, but recently the anti-lottery, league of tbe Eighth and Ninth wards of New Or leans strongly indorsed^.* Dr. Palmer’s speech and views as to' a revolution if necessary.
