once moro remind the Governors,

that such misdirected mercy towards
those who have no mercy on others,
is only calculated to bring them and
their laws into contempt with the
masses, and induce the people to
take the convict business into their

and preyed upon. If they do not

If the men Of means in Louisiana
desire to still further enhance their
own means and at the same time go
down to posterity as public benefac-
tors, they must cease to allow their
surplus funds to mould in the Bank
vaults. It is worse than selfishness
for capital to lie idle. Money to be
valued must be circulated. The
mere gingle may elate the miser, but
the true man of energy should scorn
to lay himself up in inactivity aud
idleness. We contend that the man
who has wealth and uses it only for
his selfish purposes is mere drone
upon society.
