The pauperism in Louisiana is not a
drop IN the bucket compared with that
IN New u Ork, the State of which Mr..
Morris claims to be citizen; why don't
he go there and run IL lottery 9-St.
Landry Clarion.
He don't go there and run lottery .
because the people of New York do not
now need the revenues which lottery
would bring. New York is very
wealthy State which provides decently
for its paupers," "educates its people and
makes adequate provision for all other
purposes of government without over
taxing its citizens, and without needing
the aid of a lottery. But New York and
many other Northern States were not
always rich, and when they were poor S
hey did not disdain the aid which lot
cries could give, and they each charter
ID not one but several. Now that they
lave grown rich and yirtuous," they =
ell lis through their representatives in
congress that there shall be no more +
axes and ale," particularly if any share y
i those refreshments is to be served to T
he heroic veterans who "wore them
elves out whipping them," as Bob T
combs once said; and more particu- d
arly, perhaps, if the means thus secCr- t
d are to be employed in educating our =
eople up to their standard; for they c
now by experience that knowledge is e
ower," having profted immensely by

station, past and present-and they are q
9TH to share these advantages with their ~ ~
,ss fortunate brethren of Louisiana. o
elther is this the first time in the bisto- A
OF the country when these highly vir- III
lous communities were seized with a =,
reat moral spasm, and under analogous OF
rcumstances, too. After importing saw bl
ye Africans by the ship-load, and en-
aving them, and enjoying the fruits of bt
leir labor for years, they found it more 3
:otitable to sell them to the people of CO
e South. No sooner had they done SO br
ap they discovered the Nervousness of "a
avery; and then began the agitation he he
lich finally eliminated in the most We
gantic war Of modern times. These he
cts may not only explain why che on oa
mt go there and run a lottery but An
so in measure account for the sur he
ising unanimity with which the anti Nh
ttery bill passed Congress. an
