In response to the dispute the freemasons of Louisiana draw attention to the diversity of its members in their appeal for unity:<br /> <br /> “What we have done here is this: we have drawn closer … by uniting the whole Brotherhood of Louisiana of the three first degrees under one head … Laws must be suited to the community for which they are made and some Masonic regulations might be well adapted to Meridian of Louisiana; and especially to that of the City of New Orleans where we have daily intercourse with the Brethren of all nations . In New Orleans there are Lodges working in our different Languages.

An excellent copy with these minor library marks and four lower corners neatly folded up which had been left "long" by accident of the binder's plow. OCLC Number: 65113311 Two locations only: Yale and Univ. Minnesota Law Library. Louisiana had been admitted to the U. S. as a state on April 30 1812 the ninth anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. A second state constitution was adopted in 1845 hence the reference here to the "Second Legislature" of the state. Of particular note among the Acts published in these pages was an act to pay for the free public schools 184647 & 48 which had been called for in the new constitution and another act to provide for land for the building of the public schools. Slaves and slavery always a contentious issue received attention here. The legislators decreed that children born to Slaves who had been imprisoned in the Penitentiary would become State property to be sold at age ten for cash which was to be paid to the State Treasurer the funds dedicated to support the Public Schools. Various improvement to the bayous rivers and harbors of the state were comissioned with construction of roads and levees and a toll bridge on the bayou Ramos. The single longest and most detailed act provides for the acquisition of a right-of-way and construction of a "rail road from the parish of St. Landry to the Mississippi river." There is much of interest relating to New Orleans including a Law Library for the city's Bar Association and the detailed and specific extention of the "sole and exclusive privilege of introducing and vending gas-lights to the city of Lafayette . to James H. Caldwell for twenty years. This was the Faubourg Lafayette including the Garden District now incorporated into New Orleans as the 10th and 11th Wards. Modern developments were taken into account including the provision that operators of the magnetic telegraph "might not transmit messages which can in any manner tend to defeat the ends of justice." There was an act to pay handsomely: $600 the electors of the State in the recent Presidential election of 1848 -- in which they cast their votes for the first and only U.S. President to have been from Louisiana: Zachary Taylor. With the English and French text of all laws and acts given on facing pages as was usual for most of the early official publications of Louisiana. Now a rare book. .

18324161New Orleans: June 30 1832. Good. 3pp. on a single folded sheet addressed on verso of second leaf. Old mailing folds minor foxing tiny hole in second leaf from removal of wax seal costing a couple of words significant fading to text. An informative and content-rich manuscript letter from Abner Phelps a transplanted New Englander living in antebellum New Orleans written to Phelps's school fellow and close friend Gilman Marston later a Civil War Union General and U.S. Senator from New Hampshire. Abner Phelps is a notable but still somewhat obscure historical figure in the lore of New Orleans and San Francisco. He worked as a lawyer in both cities and served in the Mexican-American War before moving to California during the early Gold Rush. He and his wife built a house in San Francisco in 1850 that retains their name and is considered to be among the oldest private residences in California. In the present letter Phelps describes his experiences after moving to New Orleans first taking a job teaching school "from six in the morning till nine in the evening. Very few of my scholars speak English but only French and Spanish. I have a hard task as they are very ungovernable fellows. I shall however relinquish this employment in the fall and commence the practice of law." The temperature had already risen to ninety-six degrees and "most of the northern merchants have left the city" for the summer leaving the streets to "appear desolate and forsaken." He had already suffered from Yellow Fever and comments that "I now consider myself acclimated" to the unhealthy climate though "I am not without apprehensions for my health."<br /> <br /> Phelps then offers a hint about why he would be willing seventeen years later to join the Gold Rush to California. He had found "the advantages of traveling.much greater than I had anticipated" having "corrected" some of his opinions and prejudices and "given me a better acquaintance with all the intricacies and varieties of the human character. I have spent some time in Mexico.a beautiful and interesting country" which he liked "much better than Louisiana" where the government left over from Spanish colonial days persisted in "sheltering despotism."<br /> <br /> Despite an abiding interest in the life of Abner Phelps by Judge William Newson - father of the current Governor of California - still little is known about this pioneering New Orleans and San Francisco lawyer. Several Phelps diaries are held by Tulane University but they do not begin until 1837 after he was settled in New Orleans as a lawyer and became known as a somewhat controversial politician. Interestingly the Phelps House in San Francisco was supposedly built first in New Orleans and then moved to the West Coast in pieces because Phelps's wife was homesick for Louisiana; this story is perhaps apocryphal but certainly fits the romantic nature of Phelps's far-flung life. The present letter appears to be the earliest known Phelps epistle written at the tender age of twenty-seven. . June 30 unknown

185236379New Orleans: Printed at the Crescent Office 1852. 100pp. Toned with some foxing light rubberstamp on title page. Upper blank corners of last two leaves renewed couple of small holes in last leaf affecting about five letters. Good in modern boards.<br /> <br /> The new Constitution mandated that "the Legislature shall apportion the representation among the several parishes and election districts on the basis of the total population. A representative number shall be fixed and each parish and election district shall have as many Representatives as its aggregate population shall entitle it to." This meant that in apportioning representatives slaves would be counted in determining the "total population" even though the franchise was limited to adult white males. The legislative deck was thus stacked in favor of election districts with large slaveholding plantations; and the interests of that segment of the State would dominate governmental councils.<br /> This provision created significant opposition to the proposed Constitution which was adopted by the narrowest of margins. Many called it "anti-republican" arguing that it reflected "a calculated effort to reduce the political power of regions where the black population remained sparse" Hyde Pistols and Politics 70 LSU Press: 1996.<br /> The Journal records the Convention's daily proceedings during July 1852 and prints the proposed Constitution. <br /> Jumonville 2151.
