Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Louisiana, January 13, 1836 It cannot bedenied, that in many respects the new govern ment was liberal and even paternal. Lands were distributed gratuitously to meet the wants of an increasing population, and direct taxation was unknown in the province.
