DOMESTIC. On ibc bcalibin* jj of Louisiana Having given* in a iate numbrr of the Register, an account of the state Louisiana, drawn from Mr. Darby's work, it ha* appeared to us ncccssary to follow chat article with ?some observations on the cli mate and salubrity of the country. A strong well known prejudice ex ists against it which we believe to be unfounded ? excessive as T? gards-die worskpart, and^totally cx- | ronious as to the greatest part of that territory. Xhc cauidss of this prejudice appear to ifc to be, first r the intemperance, general im^ru*^ dence, and ignorance of the means of preserving health, that have op erated so fatalFy 7m many of thdse that have gone there. We are net convinced that thoscT who would a~ void the use of poisons, which spir itous liquors are, every where, but particularly in tropical regions, and counteract byrdktfthe tendency co disease, naturally tuperinduced by removing from a eoleb clidiate to a warm, or from a warm oneto a cold, would find 'little reason to blame the climate of Louisiana, except as regards the places in the immediate neigh borhfcocT oTagignanfwacers, ? But the^principal cause of thK mis taken notion of dlngeer* seems to be, that the course of emigration has been still south ward-^^fjid it been the reverse the prejudice would un questionaWySh^ve bectt reversed ; to r it is abpur4 to suppose that, the constitution wili tustain no shoc^ in a removal to a situation, different | from the one in which ii has been made against the change*/?1*011 ^ A notion has ^cvailedln the face of truths" says Darby, <? that th? banks of the Mississippi abound- With a g<eat number of out the year ; the iS&M, thAt tttcfce places co0^fmed to annual sitfc^ ion, are a great part of , the extremely deficient in water. .mersioh ;j#ir North of Red ri\fcr, the wide! s *" ~ _ . _% > X ...
