PROSPECTUS
OF
the Louisianian.

In the endeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the Louisianian,
propose to fill a necessity which has
been long and sometimes painfully
felt. In the transition state of our people, in their struggling efforts to attain that position in the body politic which we conceive to be their right, it has been regretted that much information, guidance, encouragement,
and reproof have been lost, in consequence of the lack of a medium,
through which these deficiencies might
be supplied. We shall strive to make
the Louisianian a desideratum in these
respects.

POLICY.

As our motto indicates, the Louisianian shall be "Republican at all
times, and under all circumstances."
We
advocate the security and enjoyment
of broad civil liberty, the absolute
equality of all men before the law.
The impartial distribution of honorable patronage to all who merit it. Anxious of allaying animosities, of
liberating the memory of the bitter
past, and of promoting harmony and union among all classes and between all sections, we shall advocate the removal
of all political disabilities, foster kindliness and forbearance, where malignity
and resentment reigned, and seek for truth and justice where wrong and
error prevailed. Thus united in common objects, we shall conserve
our interests, elevate our race to an enviable position among
our sister States, by the development
of our latent resources, and secure
the benefits of the mighty changes
in the history and condition of the
people and the Country.

Believing that there can be no true
prosperity without the supremacy of law,
we urge a strict and undiscriminating administration of justice.

TAXATION.
We shall support the doctrine of an equal division of taxation among all classes, a faithful collection of the
revenues, economy in the expenditures conformably with the exigencies
of the State or Country and the discharge of every legitimate obligation.

EDUCATION.
We shall sustain the carrying out of the provisions of the act establishing
a common school system, and urge as a paramount duty the education of
our youth, as vitally
connected with
our enlightenment, and the security
of a Republican
Government.

FINANCIAL.
By generous, manly, independent,
and judicious conduct, we shall strive to establish our
paper, from a temporary existence,
and to establish it upon a basis,
not of "command," we shall at all
times "deserve" success.
that
if we
do this, we
