An bipartisan Constitution Wanted.
Union Record,l

II certainly behooves us, not only for the
purpose of obtaining wholesome conStitu-
ton TO live under, but for the interest OF our
party, to elect good and competent men as
delegates TO frame said constitution. While
It Is fact. admitted by all, that the edict OF
1863 should be wiped from our books and one
substituted therefor that the people could
appreciate and respect, 1t is also fact that
we should not only look TO our present inter-
est but to the interest of the future; by this
we mean that we should seriously consider
the effect that so much excitement at the
present would have IN the future. There is
already considerable strife and turmoil In our
ranks we are unfortunately divided among
ourselves, so much so that the effects OF this
dissenslon were materially felt In certain por-
lions of the country during the last election.
Doubtless this was caused from local differ
enees, such as naturally arise In every cleo
Jion' out while these at first are only OF a
local character, they soon spread and assume
that OF national, thereby eifecting the entire
country
we are now about to take step upon
WhlGh Tue l9ture prosperity OF the State OF
Louisiana depends-'tis one upon which the
uprising or the downfall OF the Democratic
party rests. by this step we either make or
lose-n we make, then our party Is placed
upon durable and a lasting foundation-if
We lose, then our party sinks into oblivion.

This convention should be CONFUSED of the
very best men Of the State, men who have
Truly at heart the interest and the welfare of
the country; men OF deep thought and who
are able at all times to express their ideas in
strong and forcble language
Let the convention be very careful not tn
introduce in the constitution any article or
clause to which our political opponents could
possibly take exception, let 1t be free from all
partisanism, but let it be as pure and as
wholesome as If written by the hand OF divine
inspiration. In order for the convention to

For Two loflg years the New Orleans DEMO
uRAT has winged an unrelenting war upon
the public mimi to prepare IL for the reallza.
tion OF two cherlshing hopes, viz, the call Of
the law legalizing the Louisiana State Lot
terry. For these two things II has worked
against great odds, both as 10 the power of
the forces that repealed IL, and az to the want
mined, persistent and consistent effort will
tell, and the Legislature has called convell-
tlofl and repealed the lottery bill. Too much
praise cannot be awarded the DEMOCRAT and
the gentlemen who have managed 1t, for these
achievements will greatly diminish the work
Of the people IN starting out upon the new
road to reform and prosperity.

The new combination method of operating in
stocks which Messrs. Lawrence & Co.. bankers,
New York have inaugurated Is attracting I'm
usual attention In financial circles. by reason
of Its remarkable success. B. r. Comstock, of
Providence. invested nine times. and made over
$4,000 In three months. by using from $50 to $500
capital By this system orders from thousands
OF customers. In various sums. are pooled into
one immense capital, and operated as a mighty
whole thus giving to each shareholders all the
advantages of vast capital and shrewiest skill.
Profits are divided every thirty days. Any
amount from SO to $4,000 can be used IN
Messrs. Lawrence d Co.'S comb nations with
equal proportionate success. Fifteen dollars
will make SIS profit In the month. Two hun
dred dollars will return $1,000. or per cent, on
the stock. and go on as the mar ket varies. The
new circular gives two uneering rules for sue
