\ Why should men of one section o

spirit of jealousy in regard to the pros
perity of anotherG Are we not on
country? Are we not one people
llHave we not one common interest
| And does not tho prosperity and IN
crease of population in one part OF on

4 The answer is simple. All righi
thinking people, whatever may be then
political prejudices, must feel and &C
knowledge that the building mp of one
locality will be for the general good Cd
the whole. But the politician of the
present day, of the dominant party,
looks with a Jealous eye upon the in
crease of population, and materialpros-
perity of the South, knowing that when
the people, North and South, properly
understand each other, aud their com
mon interest, that their occupation as
leaders of 3 great end dominant party
will be forever gone. Hence their
wish for a decrease of prosperity, and
falling off in population, in the South.
But they may as well try to stay the
wheels of time rs stop the onward
movement in these Southern States.
We have unbounded resources, and
notwithstanding our energieshave been
dampened, and our advancement Grip
pied, by the odious laws and recon
struction acts of an nnwise and unjust
Congress of these politicians, yet we
have made mighty strides in the great
path of improvement, and have in
creased not only in our business inter
ests, but also in population, to such an
extent as to be able to hold our own
with any other section of the Union.
Our natural advantages are simply
nnbonnded, and only await the hand
of skill and industry to bring them to
the surface.

s,suasisaency.

The republican party--or rather the
leaders---claim for it the embodiment
of everything that is moral, pure and
consistent, while they take from the
public treasury and use the money Of
the people who placed them in Office.
They have corrupted the morals of the
whole nation, and .iemoralized every
honest impulse. No branch of bust
meas, no condition of society, but what
has felt the corrupting influence OF
these party leaders. Yet they claim
10 be the party of purity. They pass
unjust laws that they may retain power
and gil their golfers with the peo-
pies money, while they cry thief to
divert attention from themselves.
They are whited sepulchres, fnll,of
all manner of corruption and dead
nen's bones. They steal the Presi-
dency and then lay the blame on the
party from whom they stoleit. They
fostermonopoliesa build npmoneyed

tof'the people, and then claim that these
are all great national blessings. Nc

4 In q conversation with Mr.. B. +.
Shattuck, who lives belowitown on the
river about two miles, we learned some
VERY important facts in regard to farm
ling in this country. He says that mo
State that he has over been in, and he
has lived all the way from The extreme
North to the South, presents so many
natural advantages of soil and climate
as this, and especially this section of
| 1t. The soil is very productive, yield
ing bountiful crops of rice, sugar cane,
vegetables, and, in some portions, corn
and cotton. But he thinks that owing
to the cheapness Of the lands and their
peculiar adaptibilityfor the production
of rice, that it's cultivation viii ere long
be the great business Of the southern
and western portions of this parish.
He compares the rice crop with the
great northwestern States. The aver
age product of wheat there is twelve
bushels per acre, worth about 81 per
.bnshel, making Sl2.
Putting an acre ofrice at five barrels
the lowest rate of yield, and we have,
at $3.50 per Dbl, s2a.5o as the returns
of an acre of rice, nearly twice that of
wheat, while the average is ten or
twelve barrels, nearly four times as
much, while the expense of preparing
the land and making the crop of rice
is no more, if asgreat as that of wheat.
He thinks this is decidedly the poor
mans country, all he has to do is 10
use half the industry and energy exer-
cised by the farmer of the northwest
to make twice as much money. His
growing crop looks very encouraging.
He has in about twcnty-four acres of
rice, most off looking fine, from which
he thinks he will realize 200 bbls.,
making 5000 in value. He has eight
acres of excellent sugar cane, which he
thinks will make ten or twelve hogs
heads Of sugar. He hasa small mill
in which he works mp his cane and
it into sugar and molasses.
lie also has avery good orange orchard
just beginning to bear, but does not
count much on it, on account of the
ravages of the scale insect. According
to his views rice lands, when properly
managed, will produce on an average,
At least, fifteen barrels per acre. Sugar
cane, one and q half lhogsheais of su-
gar. Corn, forty or fifty bushels, and
vegetables without limit. Surely, if
such is the case, what binders this from
