Mr.. Eb!ToR:-ln ofe of your numbers
YOU announce that You will receive, with
pleasure, the divers arguments opposed &c
the modification of our constitution, 50 as
to extend the right OF suffrage to certain
citizens now denied that privilege. This
question is of the first Importance, and
should like to see it treated by a pen more
practlsetl than mine. Call then, on some
of our talented co,npatriotes, who are will
ing and able to enilghten the people on the
danger Of changing our constitution. For
me, who possess no other talent than TO
know how to work, | will simply say, that
this modification will be for US q death
warrant. Under the present constitution,
our State has prospered for more tlan tflir-
tyyears; the natives Of the soil rot having
the right 10 vote made no complaints, b.
cattsc nothing Is more easy with II little
industry than TO acquire the right of pay
ing a state tax. What would become of
Louisiana, were universal suffrage permit.
ted here? Every man of good sense must
reply, that she would be governed by
strangers and Adventures from the other
States, who would manage the elections in
their own way--because these latter aim
at all public places, consider alLrneans good
by which they can attain that aim, and to
succeed, would purchase the vote of every
vagabond that ~infccts the State. The ma
tive citizens offhe State would be sforn of
their power, all places of honor snatched
G2m them, and their rights be trodden un-
der ic,t by others. Is it no. enough that
the soea Of party spirit has been sown
amongst us,al.d that a few irtriguers turn
it to their profit? Must our constitution be
also mutlIated to mn,IiFlY cabals and intri-
CUES?
Fellow citizens, you Should oppose with
all the energies Of patriotism, and denote
to eXecration, those who Offer you Ans Tor
your own destruction.
