main at home, or in New Orleans. It
would be an eazy matter to conciliate their
private interests with those of the State
by changing the time of the meet ng of
the legislature, during the months OF May.
June and July the business season is over !;
& New Orleans then offers few attractions !;
the sacri flee wonld then be left to those
who prefer their own interest to that of
their country.
Listen then to the voice of wisdom, It
tells you to vote against the removal of the
seat Of government. That will be our grand
step on the road to economy.
Listen to the voice of experience, it will
say; For the last fifteen years you have
been deceived, you have been consulted
twice and from your consistent decisionsp
you nave gained no advantageous results.
To receptions has succeeded de ceit. The
demagosues alone have filled the places
and Offices, which you have laboured only
to pay for their extravaganza and folly.
They have grown fat on the fruits Of your
labor, and Of your privations they have
bestow ed generously on those who were
less needy than yourselves.
Citizens 1t is time to put stop to this
legislature pilfering it is time that your
representatives, should comprehend and
fulfil the purpose for which yon have elect
ed tham. b.
