in purely State affairs vigilant, honest
and independent men, who will scout
lobbyists and thrust aside those who
may attempt to saddle heavy debt
upon our State. Men Of capacity and

shaping of good and comprehensive

muddled aud Objectionable ones. Men
of judicious and discriminating econo-
my, who will 60 for curtailng all i'm

That they have not done so. must clearly
prove to the public, that my conduct has
not been such, as to give them any cause
OF action under State laws or Corporation
ordinances and that their conduct has been
prompted solely by a p~rurient desire to ere

You have always been the cham

make a suggestion. which, l think,

1t appears that the last Legis-

therefore, the appointment Of Be-
neficiary Cadets by Parish autho.

Yet, as we well know, many of
the most prominent men Of genius
of our country were originally
poor boys, whose latent talents
could not have been developed
except by such grant Of public
bounty.
With self-government fully re-
stored, with fair prospects OF a
bountiful harvest, are we not JUS

ought to be able to afford, in the
VERY NEXT YEARS,
some relief, at least, to an iustitu-
ton which should be the pride
of every Louisianian, the "Loui.

Whenever and Wherever

Diseases of d choleraic type prevail, or
thore is Il cause to a%pprehend a visit from
them. the system should be toned, regula-
ted and reinforced by a course of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Periectdigestion and
a regular habit OF body are the best safe
guards against such maladies, and both are
secured by this inestimable tonic and altera
tive. The Bitters are also extremely service
able in remedying such disorders. If proinpt
ly taken in bilious collie, diarrh9a and rhole
ra morbus. the disease is usually frustrated.
In diarrhGa cases, it is only necessary to
restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and
this is one of the specific effects Of this med
icine. Wind Oh the stomach heartburn, bill
i~0usness, nausea, headache and other symp
tons of disturbance in the gastric and hepa
tic regions are also speedily relieved by
this excellent remedy. AS a family medi-
cine it is INVALUABLE, since it promptly and
completely remedies those ailments which
are of most frequent occurrence.
