We publish an article from the Hous-
ton Post, in regard to the immigrants
that recently arrived at New Orleans.
The Post presumes to advise New Or
leans as to her duty tb provide for poor
immigrants. We differ with the Post.
The citizens.of New Orleans, like the
rest of mankind, are bound by the or
dinary feelingsof humanity to help the
starving at their doors; but they are
under no obligations to establish a poor
house for immigrants. NotWithstand-
ing the assertions of some papers, this
State wants no immigrants, otherwise
those that come here would be provided
for. The opposition to the conVicts
working on the levees and railroads, is
evidence that the free laborers think
they are sufficient to do all the work.
There is roemab but for one, class of inn
migrants: those who have means to
buy land, to improve it, and who win
settle on it and do their eWn work.
Ghe GermaBssso far, are the only ones
who have filled the bill. There is none
too much land in this country; what
the present generation do not need, can
lie over for the.next. We are not in fa-
Tor of being crowded.

We publish from the DonaldsonviIIe
Chief, an articie+on Republican policy.
The Chief says there should be two par
ties iii the State, so that Wheusthe party
in power acts badly, the voters can take
refuge in the other party and turn the
bad one OFT. With a good set Of Re-
publican candidates, the Chief expects
strong support from the anti-adminis-
trationists 10 the Democratic party.
Now one of the main causes Of COM
plant by ths anti-administratioR Dem
OeIats is, that the administration DEM
Ocrats aud Republicans in the legislature
formed an alliance to carry out meas
ures that were not Democratic; and we
now see the Republicans getting ready
TO adopt the amendmentTelat 10 the
debtordinance which is a measure OF
the administration. We think there is
more affinity between the administra-
tion Democrats and the Republicans,
than between the latter and the anti-aa-
ministrationists; and thass the record Of
the legislature will shary ii. When
both parties are bad there is no sense
ID jumping out Of the frying-pan intoE
the fire, and the Observation-Disclosures
had better stay where they are; for the
powers that set up the ticket to be nom
mated at Baton Rouge have probably
as much influence in the Republican
party as they have in the Democratic
party. Who controls thgp votes Of the

tnre?

The Republican State committee mel
in New Orleans, Jan. 18th. It was de-
cided to hold State convention Oh
March 5th, to elect delegates to the
national conversion, and to consider the
propriety of putting out ticket for the
State election. The committee also
adopted and commended TO the favor
able consid deration of the coming con
ventiOn the four per cent amendment
10 the constitution relative to the State
debt, which will be submitted to the
people at the April election. IF it is
the proVince7of khe convention to con-
slider this amendment to the debt ordi-
nance of the econstitution, it seems ofi4
cious for the committee to forestall it's
action. The great body of the Republi-
cans in the State, are black men and
they are poor men; some of them, after
struggling and laboring for years in
the corn, cotton and cane fields, have
accumulated little property. Now
the same influences are at work in the
Republican party, as in the Democratic
party, to make the Republican voters
saddle upon the State an unjust debt
of $780, 700 a year, for fifteen years. It
is a complaint against our Democratic
sED administration that this constitu-
tional amendment is even proposed to
the people for adoption. The Demo
Gratis in the general assembly of the
State ought to have voted it down ;and
the Governor should not have recon-!
mended it. By means Of the Republi-1
can vote, and the Democrats who are
working in the interest of the bond
holders, it may be, saddIed upon the
taxpayers. The Democracy of this
parish have condemned the amendment
and directed the parish committee to
have all the Democratic tickets for this
parish printed against this amendment.
We urge all voters to examine their
tickets carefully and see that they are
50 printed for interested parties, So
called Democrats, will no doubt flood
5he parish with tickets printed for this
