Dear Vin,iicator:

Thus far the winter vitl' us, has
been quite serious, the snow and
cold cansing the death Of many Of our
COWS, lambs, pigs, &C., bnt IA the
saying goes. ut is an i'll wind that
blows no one gooi," We may reasona-
bly, hope tor "a good CROP and thus
I've blessed with u bOuutiful barveet

kindoess that an all wise Providence
can bestOw on "a.
And 40 We are to have a Constltu-
tiOnal Convention at Last 1t is real

bles and trials, but there il one very
plain fact connected with this. which
if our people do not fully realize, the
Con ventiOn afser all, will prove but
mythe and an illusion !; aud that is
this, We must be sure and call upon
the very best men 10 tho State to
frame our Constitution. Men who
understand the real wants Of the peo-
pie 10 all their relations, and know
ing them, honestly and faithfully ad.
vocate them from beginning to the
end. Let us send men who will act
In the interest Of the people men
who have given, tho subject some
thought. and can espouse their cause
with ability and intelligence; men
wb" will not listen 10 the persuasive
voice Of the monopolist or ths ring.

great iniquities Of the last eleven
years IF legislation in our beloved
State. Should we not, on the other
hand, Ike guided by snc!' councils, We
shall loose the great opportunity Of
our lives. and the great boon from
which We expected a" mncl, will pass
from our hands to be recalled never
more. In looking over the names Of
our leading citizens tn find those flt
for the task Of framing our organic
fundamental laws, no one appears
more capable Of the task, at this
present writing, than you Mr.. Editor,
Of the justly named PEoPLE's Vlx-
DIcAToR! We, in our section would
be proud to have yon speak for rs 10
this great assembly, and from a care.
fal reading Of your paper, feel con.
tidcnt that yOu understand the wants
Of the people as we'll rs any man in
the State, and when the day of elec-
tion comes around, We will consider it
U great privilege tn cast our votes for

be your colleague. However, find
him We will, and then We will feel no
aneasiness ~ t. the result, faithfully
putting our trust in you.

From dispatches in your issue of the
18th inst, it seems that the bill for n
constitutional Conventional Convention
has passed. The next important step
with the people is to select competent prac-
t'ea! men to represent them a. delegates
to that Convention, to frame new Con-
stitntion in lieu Of the (diabolical in
strament) present Constitution of the
State.
Under the "Lyons bilw the parish Of
Natchitoches il entitled TO two dele.
gates, and the Senatorial District to
which We belong. to one.
! have canvassed this matter with
numbers Of leading citizens Of Warls l.
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and find them almost
unanimous in their opinion that the
parish should be represented by Jos.
Henry and W. A. Ponder, both men of
practical ideas, and fully competent to
suggest good laws for all classes.
And that N. J. Cunningham. onr
present Representative (than whom =,
ernef man q Democrat is not TO be fouud
in the State) be sent from the Senato.

Let our people send these gentlemen 70
the Convention without any wranalinp.
and oil will he we'll with the Stste f
other parishes select as judiciously a. we
have done. DEMOCRAT
