A Visit to our Friends.

Gigantic as the enterprise may seem, we
have determined to make the attempt to carry
out fully the principle embraced in these words
eff you would have your business done well'
do it yourself'-and have, therefore, deter
mined, besides conducting Individually the edi-
torial and mechanical departments of our Of
fee. to make a semi-annual tour of the parish
es of Ibervillc, East and West Baton Rouge,
(where our paper principally circulates) not
only for the purpose Of making collections-a
great desideratum to the accomplishment Of
an editors designs-but to gain such informa-
ton respecting the wants, interests and advan-
tages of various sections, particularly of this
parish, that we may be better enabled, by per-
sonal acquaintance, to make the Sentinel
what is indeed its legitimate duty-the organ
through which are sustained the various inter-
ests of the people of Iberville and her sister
parishes above.
As an editor is expected to have a certain
extent of knowledge upon every subject, he
cannot hope to meet these moderate expecta-
tons without some trouble and diligence on
his part; and to a country editor, no species of
knowledge is more Important, both to his friends
and himself, than a personal and typographical
acquaintance throughout the districts which he
considers to be especially under the protection
of his paper.
With the above avowed object, it is our in
@tent:oon to make an early start for the districts
above-for the neighborhood Of. the Island and
Bayou Goula-Indian Village, Bayou Crosse
Tete, &c. Wherever our inclination or our
necessities call us, we trust that our visit will
not be considered an unwelcome or untimely
one.

him from all other influence, we elevate the

sense of responsibility to hi~sSS6S6try. 1t is I'M
der these circumstances only that the elector can
feel, in the choice of the law-maker, he is him.
self truly a component part of the sovereign
power ofthe nation. With equal care we should
study to defend the rights of the Executive and
Judicial departments. Our Government can
only be preserved in its purity by the suppress
sion and entire, determination Of every claim or
tendency of one coordinate branch to encroach-
ment on another.
The strict observance of this rule and the
other injunctions of thOC onstitution, with a Sc
dulous incubation of that respect and love for
the union of the States which our fathers cher
:shed and enjoined upon their children, and, with
the aid of that overriding Providence which has
so long and so kindly guarded our liberties and
institutions, we may reasonably expect;to trans
NIT them with their innumerable blessings to
the remotest posterity.
But attachment to the union of the States
should be habitually fostered in every Amerl-
can heart. For more than half a century, du-
ring which kingdoms and empires have FALLEN,
this Union has stood mistaken. The patriots
who formed it have long since descended to the
grave; vet it still remains the proudest monu-
ment Of their memory, and the object of affec-
ton and admiration with every one worthy to
bear the American name. | nmy Judgment, its
dissolution would be the greatest OF calaml-
ties, and to avert that should be the study OF
every American. Upon its preservation must
depend our own happiness and that of count
less generations to come. Whatever dangers
may threaten it, I shall stand by it and main
tain it in its integrity to the full extent OF the
obligations imposed and the power conferred
upon me by the Constitution.

TNHE additions and Improvements in this

render its facilities for accommodations inferior
to no Hotel in the country. A new and ele-

adjoining building on st. Chsrles street, thus
making this department Of the house more per-

The WANDERER.-How often do we see
destitute and ragged objects of humanity, with
no apparent aim or desire, wandering along the
highway and subsisting as chance favored their
forlorn condition. Such sights, although too
frequent, are rare in this country, comparative
ly speaking, and then scarcely ever displayed
by any one horn upon the soil Of our happy
land; happily, the American spirit, early trained
by association and example, to hold a proud
and elevated brow, whatever may be LIES des-
tiny, is scarcely ever brought to the condition
of a vagabond wanderer, living upon the ofal
of humanity, and at last perishing by the road
side, alongside Of the only friend left him in
the wide world-an empty bottle! These re-
fections are induced by a scene that we witness
ed a few days since. Passing by the Plenters'
Hotel, we heard some one playing Delightfully."-
on a piano which was in waiting to be sent to
New Orleans-and naturally expecting, from
past associations, to see the keys touched by
hands whose delicacy were il unison with the
polished ivory and the glistening rosewood,

Of all specimens of humanity, was the last that
we would have suspicioned Of being an accom-
plished performer on the piano-forte, which
was evident from the manner that he dashed
of the most difficult airs. One glance was
sufficient to read his history. The ragged and
filthy exterior, the beoated features and matted
hair, and the careless indifference that he seemed
to regard his condition, at once proclaimed him
= victim Of the bottle, and dead to the sensi
~tivsnsss Of aproper pride or an honorable bear
