for various industrial pursuits &c. Let
every man enGeavor to. get an honest
working white man to settle by him.
and that question of which one of the
the Garden of Eden will soon be settled.
The first thing to be done is to stop the
people from leaving the State. A great
many who do not seem to think, are
leaving Louisiana under the impress
sion that the State will be governed by
negroes. Such an idea is preposterons.
In ante bellum days, Louisiana pro.
duced from 4OO, 900 to SOC, 900 hogsheads
of sugar annually,and as to the amount
of cotton 1 will not attempt to say.
Since the days of reconstruction, as a
| great many called it, the Northern peo-
pie have upheld rascality in tho South,
and the result is, that $4,000 to 10000
hogsheads of sugar rounds up that crop
in Louisiana, and the cotton crop is
reduced in proportion.
Now, the stupid asses North could
not account for the many panics that
shocked the nation. The iaboring
classes throughout the North had to
strike. They accused railroad corpora
tions of being monopolies, and after
fighting them and partially gratifying
their malice, California took advantage
of them and is shipping produce east,
cheaper than they can produce and
ship. After swapping the devil for the
witch, they fell upon the merchants all
over tho country, and accused them OF
being thieves; and up went oranges.
What arc these Oranges? They remind
me Of little cake stands set up all over
the country, where !, man can go and
drop in Il nickel and get Il swallow of
cold coffee and the tail end of Il ginger
cake. The women had to have i cru.
SADIE; they said whisky was the cause
of it. And the men had to fight the
women, and they said women was ut
the bottom Of it. They remind me OF
the merchant that served his customers
Uhc Southern peoplc) SO mean they
could not pay their debts, and after
dunning them in these words (GranD l
will shoot you; l will arrest, fine, and
handcufr you. When money did not
come in, they thought of their misde
meanors and threats, and added II post
script in these humiliatinG words, Lord
how bad we do want money! Is this
not 4 shameful commotion to be going
on North? Instead OF rc-cstablisl,ing
Il good government and agriculture
South, they protect an Infamous carpet
bag government that is ruinnus to tho
country, and even talk OF correcting
the laws OF cod, Ivy making the negro
equal to the whites. Let them con-
tinuc North to foster their malice by
paraIyzing agriculture South, and in Il
few years they will sell their birthright
for Il nIcs- of ppttiSc. 1t is II well
established fact the North cannot live
without the assistance of the South, for
the crops of the South are exchanged
for the productions of the factories
North. And unless the people of the
North take steps Immediately to put an
end to this rascaIly carpet-hag govern
mcnt South, the tune OF Yankee Doodle
is fool, will have q meaning. a FOOLS
experience is a dear schooling. But
nature will soon teach the North u
lcsson that all the pens and speeches OF
America cannot make them believe al
present. Elbow room is getting scarce
North, and they will require more room
there, and but one way to get it. Tha
is to move out. They cannot strctcf
the country larger, and as the grass
hopper plaques Of the west are not 81
flattering to that tcountry,necessity viii
force immigration South. And it viii
come like Il tidal wave.
Where are Sambos' friends now
They set him free once to get him out
of the way of immigration to Kansas
and they will set him free the scconc
time by landing him into Africa to ge
him out of the way of immigration
South. There is where the negro poll
tician will end. So do not be frightened
at an imaginary scarccrow. Stay "a
