"Whcre the Sweet Wind Riows.es.''
The poetic editor of the jackson
Patriot invites the emigrant to his
parish in this wise:
Come, Oh! come to this beautiful land,
The home of gardens and roses;
Who're the sun shines soft ~ and warm
And cody the sweet wind blows-es.
Come, where there's health, and whore
plenty
And hearts like our sun are all warm,
Who're ut last tho cruel wars over
And bull-dozers III do you no harm.
Come, even though yon're Radical,
For this what need wo to care;
Our majority is eighty-tive thousand,
With the tay-at-home voters to spare.
Yes. come to our dear old Jackson,
Dou't fear--our Stonewall is dead
And Andrew you know stood by yott--
twas the Union for which he plead.
Come, come to this beautiful land,
Come from your blizzard cursed North
Come where nature holds q full hand
And plays it for all it is worth.

will not work. Gibson and Jones will

The Caldwell Watchman, speaking
of the lively interest being manifested
in the ail-important question Of itnmi-
grafton, invites attention to the rich re-
sources Of Caldwe
There is being more lively interest
evinced in the matter Of immigration
now than ever before (within our
knowledge) and we hope that the good
work will 20 on until all of our wild
lands are taken up and improved by
an honest and thrifty people. Caldwell
parish has large amount of land with.
in her borders belonging to the State
which under the acts of 1856 can be en-
tered by actual settlers at 10 cents per
acre. This land is regarded as WORTH
less because it is called swamp or over
flow land but the truth is that most
of it is comparatively free from over
fiow--true there are little creeks and
branches passing through it and in
times OF heavy rains they overflow the
lands adjacent, but in few hours the
water is all gone. This land is really
better and will last longer than the
land here held by the United States
Government besides there are num-
ber of individuals who own large qunn.
titles o. land in this parish and persons
wishing to come here TO secure homes
will find no trouble in securing land
on the mos. liberal terms.
s'Judgc or Senator Which"
The majority of the papers of North
Louisiana, without regard 10 their
position in the late State campaign,
favor Gov. McEnery for one or the
other Of the above named positions
and they are rather disposed to give
the 'cx-Governor his choice, but the
Madison Times continues to protest.
Referring to Gov. McEnery in con-
nectiou with thcsc positions that jur-
nal has this TO say in its last issue
This gentleman is now talked Of for
u. y. senator 10 succeed zen. tlDSOD.
This will make Gibson's friends rise
up and paw the air, and if Mr.. McEne-
ry persists in this scheme, you will hear
such savage denunciations of him as
will make you hold your breath, to
hear something drop.
Gov. McEnery has made himself IA
NOUS by his "suspend the law" policy,
and if he is wise he will seek obscurity.
No man with that record can afford
to be Il seeker for any conspicuous pu-
sitioR. He would be too vulnerable.
AS Senator, he would be assailed by the
Republican Senators, and his life made
He can't defend his procla-
nation to suspend the law, and they
could ding itat him for all it was worth.
AS judge of the Stale Supreme Court
his suspend the law doctrine would
hang over him aud the Governor that
appointed him, aud the Senate that af-
firmed the appointment would go down
to history, as disgrace to the State.
How valuable his decision would be in
a contes'el election case for instance.
No! he had better seek the obscurity O,
private life. 1t will be money in hi:
