craving, which they were at loss to define, much
more to supply. They were no longer rushing
recklessy forward, but had come to blank pause,
uncertain what to do, and anxiously inquiring we
want, but what do we want! What nexti We
would. build up. but what to build on +? They
needed social basis but where should they find
its In Popery. 1t was rotten. In Atheism .
What foundation would nothingness Afford Chris
tianity they COMPOUNDED with PopeFy, and Christ
was to them the prototype q : Latin. mumbling
and bead.telling monk.
In this uncertain, inquiring and anxious condi-
ton Of mind, thousands Of Frenchmen would meet
daily in the club rooms of Paris to listen to the dis
cussion of new political theories and schemes for a
novel social organization, by designing demagogues
or Infatuated dreamers. Mr.. PLATTE was appointed
by his Society to represent it at these meetings and
10 disseminate its views. He did so with great
success On one occasion, ia the presence of an
assembly Of 5000 persons, gathered together in one
of the immense halls Of Paris, in the midst of a
violent political discussion, speaker said that to
lay the foundation for the proposed social structure
Popery, that old tree of Christianity, must be
swept, like rubbish, out of the way This, said
Mr.. Pitalle, was the cue for me, and, addressing
the audience, he showed how unjust it was to con-
found Christianity with Popery. Then he preached
Christ to them, described his life, quoted his teach
ings, told them how we'll adapted to the wants Of
every human heart and to the French people, Christs
system was, and he was listened to with breath
less attention for one hour and half; wished him
to speak longer, and when he had concluded, ad-
ourned the meeting to reflect on what he had said
This was the condition, and these the people, for
whom he asked the aid of the Christians Of
America.

Tho Eablic N8ath and Works Of Internal
| Improvement.
| The great increase Of wealth arising from the
construction Of canals and railroads, is a fact well
Understood. both by political economists in their
closets, and by practical business men, NewYork,
Philadelphia and Massachusetts particularly, have
BY judicious use Il the public credit developed
resources which private enterprise could never
have effected Il is true, that Louisiana and other
States have suffered, by rushing imprudently into
schemes Of internal improvements at period Of q
fictitious currency. So did many other States
But this has not deferred them from repeating the
experiments directed by the experience purchased
~ former mistakes. Virginia has entered into the
work on scale worthy her resources. South Car
DINA and Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee, are all
pledged for the execution Of great works. Why
should mot Louisiana follow their example? II is
said that the new Constitution prohibits the Legis-
lature from pledging the public faith. Stupid,
tyranneal as is that Constitution, this charge does
not lie at its door.
tracted by the Legislature, shall not exceed the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars, except in
case of to repel invasions suppress nsurrec-
| tons, unless the same be authorized by some law
for some single object or work, to be distinctly
specified therein which law shall provide ways
and means by taxation for the payment of the
running interest during the whole time for which
said debt shall be contracted and for the full and
punctual discharge at maturity Of the capital bor-
rowed and the said law shall be irrepealable until
principal and interest fully paid and discharged
and shall not be put into execution until after its
enactment by the first Legislature returned by a
general election after its passage"
This article evidently contemplates the assent
of two Legislatures, and defers the benefit of such
aid for two years.
Now, our roads will be completed before thai
period. But we have no doubt that an act Of the
coming Legislature, even if it required further
sanction, would give moral strength to the move
ment The State should lend its credit to the jack
son and New Orleans continuous road-to the Ope-
ousas Texas Road-to the Shreveport Plank Road
The jacksonville Road, as we understand, requires
no Legislative aid.
But a speedier mode, still, is to be found in the
assemblage Of a convention and the adoption of a
constitution, more in unison with the spirit Of the
age, and the wants Of the time. The mode pointed
out by the present Constitution to amend or
remodel, does not deprive the people of adopting
some speedier process. Let the new Legislature be
elected on this question. Let the people require Of
every candidate pledge to vote for the Conven.
ton. Let it be assembled at an early day, and let
its Constitution be at once submitted to the people
We shall continue the discussion of this subject,
the most important which has ever come before the
people of Louisiana, since the great treaty which
transformed weak Colony into an integral part Of
a great Republic.
