A LAND OF PROMISE.

The financial panic inaugurated
and engineered by English capitalits
and American bankers for the pur.
pose Of influencing congress has
tasted the strength and inherent
power the Southern States possess Of
sustaining themselves. Without
accumulated capital and surplus,
such az have been common to the
| Eastern aud Middle States, the
South has stood alone, fighting
bravely TO meet the exigencies Of the
times, and go far has proved her
power of endurance above that Of
even those states having a far great
er amount OF monied capital.
There have been fewer failures Of
banking and business houses, fewer
laborers thrown out OF employment,
less want and suffering among the
working people than shown in either
the Northern or Western states, and
now that the panic is about over and
normal condition of affairs in all
lines Of business is promised in the
near future, we behold the South
ready to occupy marked position in
the line OF progress and prosperity.
As soon as the tide in monetary
affairs is fairly set going the South
will be the first portion of fhe
United States to feel and take ad.
vantage of it. Cotton mills and
factories of all kinds will seek homes
in its borders. The raw material is
here. The iron, coal, lumber. in
fact every thing useful and necessary
to supply the wants Of mankind, are
here, Inviting the capitalist and la
borer to join hands and develope the
bonnteous resources which nature
has bestowed.
AT the same time LOUISIANA pre-
sents a most inviting field for the
surplus wealth Of congested money
centers. Her cotton and sugar cane
fields stretch out on every side,
saying come. Her forests of mag
nifcent pine, cypress, oak, magnolia,
beech, ash and other building mate
rial, are ready TO yield themselves TO
the demands of civilization. and to be
sent into the marts Of trade thereby
swelling the riches and wealth OF
the people. Here capital will find
its most profitable field, and with
Just distribution of wealth, caused
by the working of labor and capital,
mutually interested. our State may
heaceforward lay just claim to being,
.The Land Of Promise.
