The comparison of these years must not be con-
sidered as an i,olaed case; but, the contrary,
is too true an expose of the course of trade of the
city for several years past.
With the picture Of the past before Us, it is i'm
possible to resist the conviction that lad New
Orleans been true to herself. she could not now
have been reduced to II condition of 80 much hsz.
ard, and the humllia ion of such appeals as have
become cessary would have been spared to her
ctzen.. With her natural advantages, aided by
a libpral sy,tem Of internal improvements, she
would have remained the Queen Of The South
West, united in sympathy and interest with those
whom she had conca,ed and attached to herself
by the iberaiy of her spirit and the extent of her
enterprises. The very reverse has been the case.
New Orleans, in proud exultation over her natural
resources, has cut herself off from the improve
ments of the age and, resting upon these resources
as upon rock has deied the winds and The waves,
which have already been sweeping over her, in
| mockery of her faith and her folly. One by one,
her ancient friends and supporters have been bid
ding her good bye aud seeking less congenal, but
more valuable commercial alliances nth the more
| enlerprisng marts of the Atlantic seaboard.
Wha,, then, fellow citizens, must be done for
| NewOfleans! She must, by Il wise and liberal
stroke OF polcy, regain part, ho' .'e "hoie vi
