TO THE FRIENDS OF LOUISIANA !:
Louisiana might have been
spared most of her Affections,
which now bear so heavily
upon her but for the political
dissension antagenisms
among our own people. But,
there is one scheme for saving
the State which involves no
such antagonisms; that scheme
is Immigration. ".'l-. fl .i

by the Louisiana immigration
and Homestead Company for
restoring peace and prosperity
to our community entirely
feasible. On this all honest
men in the State may unite
All who own property within
the limits, and who desire, to
see our people prosperous and
happy, should be induced to
work for the Success Of the
company. The only obstacle
to the latter's rapid progress is
the difficulty in obtaining the
ear of the landholder, mer
chant, capitalist and others
who haveit in their power to
restore the State through this
company promptly and effect
ually.. A coGncil efeitizens in
New Orleans might agree upon
4 plan of actionon their part
that would electrifythe whole
State with new hopes and in,
spire our population with new
energies. By such a movement
the exodus of useful citizens
from the State, now proceeding
to an extent which threaten:
onr ultimate ruin, may be ar
rested. III L
Such a convention, entirely
disearding politics, may b.
called at once, and if our mos
substantial and influential cit
izens attend it, measures MAJ
be'adopted which will some
what palliate the present anx
ieties and Affections of on
people, and ultimately restor
peace and prosperity.
