The writer of tie article Just quoted
from, seems to ba thoroughly @posted"
as 10 the difficulties under which the
sugar planter labors ID New Orleans in
regard 10 the disposal Of his produce
upon the lsvee. and bis remarks are very
appropriate and worthy OF an attentive
pafusal. Ha says:
, The cfig evil Of which we have 10
complain in considering New Orleans as
u market, is The totally inadequate pro-
vision which she makes for the reception
Of our sugars. She seems. to begovern-
I'd by a set 2of men whose short-sighted
policy Wilinot permit them TO consider
how what iso will affect her falare.---
Appeal after appeal has been made to
her 10 grant to the sugar planters, at
least,aa larger and fairer share Of her
leyee for tue reception Of vur produce.
Complaint after complaint has been made
to her as to the condition in which that
small portion Of her levee, appropriated
to the landing ofsugar is kept. Columa
after column has been written, urging
her and her capitalists to provide for us
storeh honses, which would contribute
mue!, to her revenue, whilst afordng u
shelter to sugar, which from its psrisha~
lie nature. it requires more than doez
any ether produce Of the State Whilst
sugar is not deemed worthy Of that pro-
lection for which its producers have
begged for years, a large class Of the
voters Of New Orleans are living, if not
n king fortunes by It. AppeaI,.=if you
