we look outside of ourselves,
and to those who hate and re-
vile us for nearly every manu-
featured article we use, paying
them therefor in the surplus pro-
duce that is scraped out of our
impoverished lands, just so long
will we continue to be hard
worked, broken-down, dispirit-
ed, impecunious vassals of a
bloated aristocracy in the North
ern States who daily add to their
boards of wealth at our expense.
The sooner we awake to these
facts, determine to rely on our
selves, cut loose from our OPP
pressors, build up our own fac
tories and keep our money at
home, the better it will be for
US, and the sooner will we be-
come a happy, prosperous and
independent people. The de-
termined and persistent pursuit
of this policy by the South
would soon secure for US a just
and concilatory policy at the
North, and the supremacy of
this or that party would be to
Us a matter of comparative in
difference.

Twenty-three States have
Democratic Governors. There
is a majority in the House. The
Senate is nearly equally divided,
and in two years will be con-
trolled by the Democrats. There
is white majority of more than
a million Democrats in the Uni
ted States, and an absolute ma
jority of a quarter of a million.
A Republican who was not
elected President holds the Of
flee through fraud. A hundred
thousand Republicans hold the
minor Federal Offices through
the same fraud. This is the pol
itical situation in a nutshell,
and it is we'll to remember the
leading facts.

Our U. S. Senator.

Hon. H. M. Spofford, recently
elected to the U. S. Senate from
Louisiana for the long term, is
too we'll known in North Louisi-
ana to need words of commenda-
ton from US. Years ago, he was
one of our citizens, and is still
remembered by our people for
his manly bearing; for his tai
ents and oratory. He would
have graced the Senate in her
palmiest nays, when giants trod
her halls; and in contrast with
the pigmies who of late years
have misrepresented Louisiana,
he towers like the lofty cedar
above the noisome weeds at it's
base.
1t is a healthy sign to see our
new government putting to the
front our ablest and purest men.
We do not think a man could
have been selected more familiar
with the wants of Louisiana, than
our new Senator, and would more
zealously guard her interests,
and we feel satisfied that while
exerting his talents and intlu-
ence in behalf of our State at
large, he will not overlook his
old home-North- Louisiana.

Southern Policy.

| tlOn towards the southern States.
Undoubtedly that is a matter Of
great Importance to our people
who for so many years have
been out in the cold, so far as
any fair and equitable partici-
patton in the administration of
the Federal government is con-
cerned, and whose local affairs
have been constantly interfered
with, even to the extent of i'm
posing upon some of the States
governments not of their choice.
A change in this respect would
certainly be hailed with joy as
the dawn of a brighter day for
the whole country, and it is ma
tural that we should look with
an anxious eye to the national
capital and watch eagerly for
some satisfactory token that the
"day of our redemption draweth
nigh"
However just and generous
the policy of the Administration
may prove to be, it is by large
odds far more important that
the Southern people should
shape for themselves a new pol
icy, and take a new departure
in the management of their
home affairs and the develop
ment of their material interests.
We may or we may not be per-
mitted to hold elections and
elect our own rulers without the
intimidating presence of FEEDER
al soldiers; we may be admitted
to all the political privileges
and immunities to which we are
entitled under the constitution
and the laws, or it may be other
wise. AS things now stand we
are at the mercy of the powers
that be, and time alone can de
termine whether the political
condition Of the South is to be
bettered by the accession of the
new men who for the next four
years are to hold dominion over
us. Whatever the issue may
be, however, in respect to the
question of political liberty or
vassalage, the Southern people
may do much to improve their
own condition by adopting a
new and entirely different policy
in their relations to and deal
ings with those who deny them
equal political rights and would
keep them forever in the house
of bondage.
The true policy of the South
is self-reliance. So long as we
are dependent on political enc
mics for everything but food,
just so long will they have US
in their clutches and use us for
their selfish purposes. So long
as they make all the wooden
buckets and axe-handles and
we buy them, just so long will
we continue to be hewers of
wood and drawers of water.
So long as they make the straw
brooms and we buy them, just
SO long must we be content to
sweep the carpeted floors of the
wealthy manufacturers of the

Three evenings excellent entertainments,

was produced, with Garry Hough the
leading role, in which he is. inIlnitable.

Canadian Emigration to Chippewa

Guy LII. Carleton, Esq. deputy collector

stract of his report for the quarter end
ing July 1st, of TIL. arrival of emigrants
at that port from foreign countries. The
total number of arrivals were 157, in
Guiding men. women and children. OF
this number IA were able-bodied men,
between the ages5of 20 and 45, and were
mostlysiarmers.' They went to settle up
on the fine farming lands in Chippewa
county, and are mostly well-to-do men,
being nearly I'LL pos; essed. of some
property, bringing with them horses.
cows, and farming utensils. This emf
grafton will be OF great benefit to that
county. We wish we could make rs
good Il report of the Canadian emigra-
ton int this county. We. doubtless,
have had a great, r number of settlers
come to This county.but if some OF this
from Canada could be secured, it would
be an additional element of strength.
