me Convention to Form New Consti-
tuition.

We hope the citizens Of Louisiana will be nei-
thsr forgetful Of nor Indifferent to the vote on
the calling Of Convention to form new Con-
stitution, which is to be taken on the 18th day
Of this month. We specially ask Of our country
friends to remember the occasion, and Of ell Of
them favorable TO State progress and prosperity,
4 10 vote for the holding Of Convention, If they
seriously and attentively consider the matter,
they will mot fail to do 20,
No more important issue has, for years past,
been presented to the citizens Of this State
We have frequently pointed out the restrictive,
prohibitory, Anticipated provisions Of our present
Constitution.
It virtually forbids the organization of Inter
hal Improvement and manufacturing assoeia-
tions, by giving them only the limited and
imperative existence Of twenty five years; a
term in which they might extensively invest,
but could not probably realize. Capital does
not seek investment, unless with something more
than a possibility Of profit.
Citizens Of other States, coming into Loui
siAna, cannot enjoy the rights, privileges and
franchises Of citizens, until they have resided
here two years. In every other State, almost
without exception. q residence of six months
will confer citizenship upon them. Is there
equityin this Is there in this the comfy Of
States which should exist among the sisters of
4 our Republic And why, after five years resi-
dence and naturalization, should q citizen from
abroad wait two years more, before he can exer-
cise the privilege o. 1ranchise
