V'c did so with an expression of regret and in language respectful, but plain and pointed as the cae required. We condemned emphatically its advocacy of negro social equality, the Deauregard movement in Louisiana, the Allen county meeting and resolution!, now discarded by every true Democrat in Ohio and elsewhere, a well as its insiduous attempts, by covert communications and half and half editorials, in the way of feelers, to distrac t, divide and overthrow the good old party, to which it has always professed to belong, whenever it suited its convenience and interest. We fctruck hard, and our blows fell not a mo ment too soon. Detected and exposed in its contemplated treachery to the Demo cratic party, the iN'f'f ignominiously backed out'and down from all its positions, thereby admitting and proving tho justice of our Mr!e-turc3 and its own guiltiness. If it were honestly Democratic it should have felt grateful to us for setting it right. Hut the Radical papers have taunted it for its retractions and too easy submis sion, and sore, under the necessary discip line administered to it by a not unfriendly hand, it has now resorted to this weak and poor expedient to retrieve its damaged character and influence.

This, of course, does not suit the Ai'fr., and it resorts to demngogim and the Radical cry of an .Luskin iiu-, it ivuijns iu his luisc, but, in its strait, resorts to, as a drowning man catches at a straw. There is no polit ical "Austin ring," and they, who assert it, are cither grossly ignorant, or in plain Eng lish, willfully lie. Since we have been con nected with the Statesman, no man in Aus tin has been consulted or has attempted to interfere with regard to its editorial conduct. We have written from our own judgment, nnd if thfcre is any ring in Aus tin connected with the Statesman, we, alone, arc the ring. And we are ready at all times to meet the personal attacks of the At tcs und compare characters with all con neetiHl with it, openly or secretly. The criticism of the A'tic on our qualifications for filling the position we occupy, is low and unjustifiable, as we shall bhow before we have done with it. It has felt the force of our pen, and it has cowered and begged under it. We have been a Democrat from the days of Jackson down to the present time, .without change or the shadow of turning. No stain has ever rested vpon our political or moral character. Our honesty and veracity have never been ques tioned. We have received aid from no railroad corporation and have never 1 1 our pen for gold or position, j-card to the public has ever been no- ary to vindicate or explain our conduct.

John Ireland, whose coarse in the last Legislature has been the subject of much animadversion, especially on the matter of riilroads" we have the pleasure of laying before our read ers to-day his speech in full, as delivered at Seguin on the twelfth of July, and pub lished in the Guadalupe Times. It is plain, clear btatemcnt of what waa really done by the Legislature, and his crwn part therein, without any rhetorical flourishes or attempt at display, and will be read with in terest by all lovers of candor and truth We did not agree with Judge Ireland in his opposition to the adoption of the Constitu tional amendment, nor could we approve the report, which he and others of the committee made at an early' fctarre of the session on the question of the State's indebtedness to railroads, and the recommendations of repeal, which accom panied that report. . We thought the judge too extreme on some points relating to rail roads ami internal improvements, and we took occasion to say so at the time, but wc never doubted the perfect honesty of his views and votes, while we could not but admire the frankness and boldness with which they were expressed and given. On the various points of our disagreement, our opinions remain the same, but wc are glael to find, by a perusal of his late speech, that on all matters strictly pertaining to the Democratic party of Texas we arc entirely in accord. Soon after the adjournment of the Legislature, in reply to the charges of repudiation, which were so unjustly, as we thought, brought ugainst it anil the Democracy of Texas, we asserted what we believed to be true, that Judge Ireland, as w ell as Judge Smith,' in case the courts decided the Interna tional IkmhIs to constitute a legal debt against the State, would be in favor of their payment. Wc did this from our knowledge of the men, from what we, ourself, heard from them in debate on the floor of the House, and from what we could learn of their position from mutual friends. Now, wc are happy to say, we have in the speech before us the following explicit declaration, which settles the matter fully, so far as Judge Ireland is concerned : The question is asked, if the court of the last resort elccide in favor of the Inter national Company, what then should be done? The court of the last resort i3 the proper tribunal to construe the Constitution and the laws, and if such decision shoulel bo made, it would be the eluty of the Legis lature to provide tor payment of the bonds. Here is no repudiation. The statement is as plain a3 language can makejtjnd we hftv-atrtfTrrjrtnrrt' lituU w&i'fce the opinion of every delegate mthe coming Democratic State Convention. t Let us hear, then, no more of this charge against the creilit and honor of Texas. The Democratic party will be a unit on the subject of repudiation, and against it. It will do justice to all railroads, and it w ill not submit to injustice from any of them. That is our position. Wc close this article with the closiug remarks of Judgo Ireland's speech, which we commend most heartily as the true ground on which every sound Democrat bhould stand : There is being a good deal said as to what the policy of the next nominating conven tion shall be. As for myself, I want no new organization, I wish to see the Democratic party revivified, consolidated anew, and a pure Democratic platform adopted. I wish to sec the people governeel less. I want to see them shoulder the responsibility of so ciety, and have them to feel that they arc the government, instead of mere machines. I shall abide the action of the convention, and give a hearty support to its nominees, and I trust we will have no independent candidates ; for whatever their motifre may be, the inevitable ellcct of their conduct, is, to defeat the majority ; and in this State to promote the success of the Radical party. IS IT POSSIBLE t A late Waco Examiner has a letter from Houston, containing some suggestions of a most startling character. Many of our readers must have been struck wrth sur prise and mortification at the number of "jail deliveries" which wc have hail occa sion to report, all over the State, since the adjournment of the Legislature. It seemed as if the criminals were escaping from near ly all the jails of Texas, and we have been loud in our censure of the condition of our jails and tho carlessncss of their keepers. The letter alluded to, suggests that this is no accidental matter, that it has been the result of a concerted plan, on the part of the Radicals, to injure the reputation of the State, and to produce a condition of dis order and criminality, out of which they could make capital against the Democratic party for repealing the police law, and which would fur nish a pretense for Federal interference. In other words, that the Radical sheriiTs and jailors hare been secretly instructed to promote these escapes and '"jail deliveries," and it is asserted that nearly all of them have occurred w here Radicals w ere the ofii ciaK This is almost too horrible for be lief, but there is no know ing what the Rad icals miyht not do iu their desperation. They see the government of Texas depart ing from them, and feel that the opportunity of pillage and plunder will soou bo lost to them forever, unless something can be done to save them and prolong their reign of op pression. It is singular that all these jail breakirgi commenced and have been con tinued from the time of the repeal of the police law. The charge of disorder and crime in Texas has been one of the strongest cards plaved by the North era Radicals. Tho Radical papers of this St.ite have exhibited great zeal and cmrgy in yetting up terrible to il., s ef crime and outrage for rvpublica t'. : at tho North.

A sorrier spec tacle of emptiness could hardly be exhibited. We arc glad to get correspondence, prop erly written, but what we want is local news and not political disquisitions. Give us the news, political or otherwise, of your respective localities, and we shall be prompt in publishing it. - - - Tin: Gazette compliments the JoiniV caricature of one of the judges of the Su preme Bench.

Fulton, we are informed that the Galveston Commercial will issue its first number on next Sumlay, August .3. Glad to hear it. The city of Galveston desurvoa a sound, first class, Democratic paper, and we believe the Commercial will prove to be just what is wantcel. Wc have entered it on our exchange list and shall hail its arrival with joy. Tiie Galveston Xeir, with its usual facil ity in turning summersaults, has gone back, heels over head, on the majority rule in nominating candidates. Who cares? What has it not prone back on in the course of its tortuous existence? What elepcnelence can be placed on a newspaper that changes its position from week to week and from day to day ? Can any good reason be given for these sudden changes on all subjects from a capital to a railroad question? We have received an extra of the Tiro Hyuhlics, a paper published by our old friend Major Geo. W. Clarke, at the City of Mexico, and containing the contract, con cluded between the department of public works and the representative of the Inter national Railroad Company of Texas. Nothing would give us more pleasure than to see this great road completed from Tex arkana to the Pacific Ocean. The fact that the Democracy nominated Mr. Greeley for the Presidency, elocs not warrant the assumption that they intend to nominate Governor Davis as Governor. State Joi.mtah That is so. And the fact that Davis wants to be nominated by the Radicals for Governor elocs not w arrant the assumption that he will get even the Radical nomina tion. It is probable that Sabin will be the man, now Gaines is in that little tremble alout his two wives. By a private letter from Wilson county, we learn that the Democracy arc all united there, the utmost harmony prevailing. Wilson w ill cast a full Democratic vote next election. We are glad to hear that our young friend, Ilaywooil Bmhan, has con sented to !c a candidate for the Legislature from that county. Wc protuuuo ho will j-t the nomination, and if so is sure to le elected. He is of a good stock, and fought the w ar through in the army of Lcc. There is no elisoount on llavwood. We would call attention to the able ar ticle, which we republish from the Jeilersou 77 ui 4 on the subject of the relative vaine of young and old men as politicians. All this stulT about throw iug aide all the old politicians and calling theycning men to tho front is not worth the paper it is written on. The old and ymmg are loth good in their proper places. There is an old proverb, which says, "old men for counsel, young rn.cu for action," and provcris have been happily called, by some one, "the coa-ihn-ol wisdom ef aj;vs." 2!n. Ji'it. D.

SiiEitxiAX, Texas, July 21, 1873. Editor of' the Statesman The waters of politics begin to move in this north country. The people have been exceedingly busy and anxious about their crops; the season being the most unfavorable known in this part of Texas for a quarter of a century. But now our crops being "laid by," and the bugle sound from the leaders of the oppos ing hosts having been heard, the rank and file begin to stir preparatory to the cam paign of this fall and the Ides of Dcccmljcr. Information of the call for a convention to be held iu Austin December 3, reached us last Saturday and immediately the exe cutive committee for the county assembled, and issued an address to the Democracy of the county, asking them to assemble in precinct conventions on the ninth of next month to send up delegates to a county convention to Iks held at Sherman on the sixteenth of August. Committees were ap pointed to take a census of the Democracy that each precinct might be properly repre sented iu the county convention, and the people were requested to instruct the dele gates as to their choice of county and dis trict officers. The prospect is that our county will poll a vote one-third larger than in any previous election, and you may be astonishcel at the magnitude of our Deinec racy. I hope the Statesman has a full circula tion in North Texes, for it suit ours views exactly Democratic, able, independent, progressive. As a Democratic paper, established by a Democratic convention, it ought not only to be the pleasure of every Democrat to sustain it, but every one should feel it his duty to his party and his principles to in crease its power and influence. The commissioners appointed to open the books to receive subscription for the stock of the Sherman and Henderson Railroad, met in Sherman a few days ago, opened the books, took the stock, and closed the books, just as everybody, and especially the Cen tral and the Trans-Continental Railroads were coming forward to assist. There is disappointment and tlissatisfaction over the matter, and as both sides appear to be right, as you listen to one or the other, I will not comment further until I see further. How ever it may be, we are unanimously in favor of its speedy construction, as it gives us al most a direct route to New Orleans and the Gulf, and will bring freights down to a more reasonable figure. - Sinoo Gov. Throckmorton declined to al low his name to go before the people for the nomination for Governor, we are divided, and know not where to look for our next Governor. The claims, talents and fitness of the man who was such an "impediment" to Sheridan that he must be removed from the place he was placed in by the people before Federal arms could Radicalize Texas, were so ap parent to the people in North Texas that no other standard bearer was thought of, and the disappointment, therefore, was great when his letter informed us that he could not be our leader. But whoever may be chosen to head our forces, if he is capable, sound, horcst, and leads forward, he will have the firm tramp of our legion following to victory, lou may count upon this county giving two thousand majority for the Democratic ticket. Gkayson. SPEECH OF HON. JOHN IRELAND. Delivered at Sesuln, July 12, 1873. Fellow-Citizens Having accepteel a high trust at your hands, bestowed at the last general election, and having endeavored in my feeble way, during the winter and spring, to tlischarge the duty thus placed upon me, I elo not shrink from giving you an ac count of that effort, when called upon to elo so. The last sicech I made during the last canvass was made ia this house, three days before the election. I then pledgcel myself to you and to my country that I wtfhhl make the effort to repeal 1. 1 tic police act. 2. The enabling act. y. The school bill. 4. The election bill. 5. Tho registration 'bill. 6. The printing bill. And that I would contribute my mite to ward giving you a constitutional convention. Ihc tirst six of these were accomplished. That the seventh failed, was not the fault of the House of Representatives nor mine. The bill calling a convention passed the House, but failed in the Senate. The great, and I might say inexcusable, mistake made by unthinking iersons, and by those who feast ujKm subjects over which to complain, is, that they have looked to the House of Representatives as the Legisla ture, when, in fact, It is but one-third of the law-making power. Had the Ioii met a Senate at Austin in accord w ith the people and the House, the necessary laws could have lecn passed in a comparative short time. But we found the old Radical Senate and the Radical Governor; and many of our bills were passed this morning, to be elefeatcd in the Senate this evening. Or, if perchance' w e could get a bill through the Senate, it would come back to the House to-uiorrow w ith the Governor's veto. But, I have heard some say, why did you not pass your bills and come home, if the Senate refused-to pass them! This wc could have done, if the House could adjourn w hen it chose to elo so; but you must be aw arc, that it could not adjourn for more than three days, w ithout the con sent of the Senate. But the House did not propose to adjourn, so long as there w as a hope of doing anything. liat wc finally accomplished, yon know: We have given you a fair regis-1 rat ion law. We have restoml to you vour voting pre cincts, thus enabling vou for all time, to control your country, if you are wise and prudent. This, to you, is worth more than millions. We repv-.ded that cur??, ar.d relic cf drs potic and kingly governments, the police l.ev, a .ruin throwir.g im your civil cmlcers the i:e-ee.-stty of jH.tf...rn;u-g that duty for which they are created. We l ave jriven veu a inhiH.l I I!!, th.it rices to the -c in-truts, the of the youth; p!e of the di-trietsand werto iu:'.:v. is? the duca a!:h.mg!i imcn-md pm I'.n.m r . i s r.-i -v !e to a Jr. .... i viv, that tho s.;... ! hill. J I'' e : " . . : i c t tmj it '..' -. the B.-Khcr M.ovc. A rain, it is objected, that "it only contem;.haes four months school in the year." It re ov.re--, as did the old law, that you shall send your child four months, and if rath or any district wants tho school longer they can have it. But it does rot allow- your money to be preyed upon the entire year by aupervisors and teachers, who do nothing. We teok trom the Governor the powtr to appoint ollleers, w hich the Constitution ex pressly declares, you shall elect. We passed several luindred other inijort nnt law s, of great interest to the country, which I have not the time to notice in detail. Finally, though we were elected for two years, under the constitution, after having discharged to the best of our ability, our duty, by the election till, we returned to yoa the high trust yoa corJddei to us, con scious of having performed our duty, sub mitting our work to your candid judgment, at the general election on the first Tuesday in December, 1873. That the Radical purty should find fault with every thing decent, or beneficial to the country, that was done, was to be expect ed, but it was not supposed that the same party, who in the Senate and Executive chair re tarded our work, and prevented the accom plishment of many measures, demanded by the country, would find men who claim to be Democrats, that would join in this con demnation. It was not known befire, that men so remote from the place where this work was going on, could accomplish so much that they could overcome difficul ties, that others who were brought in daily contact wmi tnese obstacles couiel not sur mount ! v I affirm what w ill not be denied by any candid man w ho saw and knows what the Thirteenth Legislature attempted to do. That is, that no public lnxly ever laboretl more earnestly, and constantly, than the House of Representatives. The same re mark w ill apply to a large number of Dem ocratic Senators. iNow, fellow-citizens, a few moments to railroad matters. The constitutional amend ments came ui for action. I fouud that it had not been adopted in the mode pointed out m the Constitution. This was my opin ion, as a lawyer, and in which opinion about twenty-three other Democrats concurred. J had taken an oath to sunnort tho Oonstitn. tion. We could not find it in our hearts to take the advice of sonic over-zealous amendment men and a newspaper of a neighboring county, to throw the Constitution aside, and disregard it Our denunciation of the Radical party lor tne last tew years nad been too severe. and repeated too often for us now to accept and adopt the crime ourselves. There were other reasons why I oppose the amendment; but this was enough. Whether I was risrht on that question, time will tell While the Twelfth Legislature was iu ses sion, it pretended to pass two bills, giving the International and lexas Racine Com panies each six millions of dollars, which by the time they should be paid off, would have cost the people of Texas about seventy millions of their hard earnings. Up to the time of the meeting of the Thir teenth Legislature, I had not heard one Democrat say, that those elebts were binding, or that they ought to be paid. Indeed, I heard some of those, who, for some cause, afterward became clamorous to fasten those great iniquities on the people, denounce them in the severest terms. It was elone by every candidate before the people during the canvass of 1872. No man could have received the power of attorney from the people as their law maker that would have gone so far as even to ask the question whether he should aid in that great robbery. None will deny that it was the duty of the Legislature to ascertain what Texas owed. To this end, the House of Repre sentatives raised a select committee, com posed of Judge Smith, of Colorado; Judge Powers, of Cameron; Col. Anderson, of McLennan; Judge Morris, of Rusk, nnel myself; the committee originally stood, Ire land, Smith and Morris. Their meetings were, numerous, and their investigations thorough. From some cause, it became whispered abroad that that committee would report adversely to those bonds. Then it was that another resolution was introduced, and Anelcrson and Powers were added to the committee. The dispatches that even ing to the Galveston A'etcs, said: "Rail road men breathe easier since Anderson and Powers were added to the select enmuxittoe." The committee, with "these aelditions, con tinued their labois from day to day, and in about two weeks, the Areif said: "To the great surprise ot many, it has been ascertained that Powers and Anderson will join the committee in the report ad versely to the bonds." Thus, it would appear, that these two men had been selected for a purpose, and that they so far forgot themselves as to totally disappoint the expectations of those who had them added to the committee. But these two men were men of integrity, and would not agree to say that the people of Texas owed those bonds, when they were satisfied that there was no such debt in ex istence. I elo not charge that the member who made the motion to add Pow ers and Anderson to the committee was actuated by any other than pure motives. I do not now remember who it was, and he was probably requested by interested parties to do it. Of the ability of that committee, (no reference to myself,) I need not speak; they are well known to be among the ablest lawyers in the State, and men of great moral worth. What must they say? If they die! believe that Texas oweel the bonds, must they re port a lie? Or must they report as they be lieved?. From that day, a subsidised press did its dirty work of misrepresenting and niisre porting cverthing myself nnd a few others did and said. No matter how enormous or revolting the demands of the monopolists were, if wc attempted to smooth off a rough place, or to clear an ugly angle in one of their bills, we were charged with being op jHised to railroads. The lobby was con stantly filled with them, and the man who asscrtsthat they do not draw their bills so as to secure every exemption, every privil ege, every power, every dollar, in money and lands, w ith which they think it jo8si ble for their bill to be gotten through, makes an assertion in the face of history and facts known to every member of mod ern legislatures. I know that it was as serted by some of the press, that the Texas Pacific got more than its friends asked for, this is, and was known to lc w holly untrue. Every memler of the committee before w hom that bill came, knows that the agents of that road demanded in committee, six teen sections of land, including the sixteen miles reservation, and ten thousand dollars per mile in money. Or, if all lands, then forty sections to the mile were demanded. It finally irot twentv section in tu nnd a nTiiu in width of eighty miles I opposed. I thought it a great wrong. 1 thought the old soldier or bis heir snouiei nave me ngm, n i-c wisueu to io so, to go on any of the public domain and locate his claim. I thought also that it vio lated this clause of our Constitution: "Art. 1. Sec 2. All nun, when thev form a social compact, have equal rights, and no man or set of men, is entitled to ex clusive, separate public emoluments or privileges." liut pan ton me, iciiow-e.tuens, lorretern- to the International road a moment. When this matter was first mooted, it was said, that the Legislature ought to leave the question for the courts. It was tin ally left exactly where we found it to !. deter mined by the courts. It was proposed by tame to offer.the ro:sd lands and to require it to cease its elcmau 1 for bonds. I met, at one time, the President, 3Ir. Grow, in committee, lie was akel the question as to such an r.mngemcnt, and he said the company would not take lands. I had previously introduced a bill, which was under ei:ci!s-ion ia com ttec, giving the company twenty sietKms of land to the mile. ThN bill pa-e.l the IIou.-c n-l went to the Senate, r.nd into tho jocket cf Sena tor FLm.i mm where it rmm.med. I war.. 1 the road brilt, and w a very anxious f. r the hm l bill to Uvome a l . v.

Be fore I will give r.iy -sanction to such a mon strosity, I will jcrlsh. The International may print and circulate fifty millions more copies of the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States; they will do no good. A decision by a court selected, and constituted in the inter est of the legal tender question and monop olies; a elecision by a judge of whom it was charged, at the time of Vis ape.intment, that he had been selected for this purpose; a judge who was so badly pressed to this point as to find it necessary to come out in the public prints, and say that he had sold out all his interest in railroads ; will hardly be taken by the pecpla cf Texas as author ity on this question. Texas will decide for herself whether she owes that debt, and a threat cf Federal power will not drive the people from their proprieties on this subject. What the courts of Texas will decide I do not undertake to saj. The time has been when a lawyer could, with a good deal of certainty, tell what the decision would be on any given state of facts. A lawyer may yet tell wliat he thinks is the law of a case, but none are so bold as to even predict what the decision will Ikj in any case. Tho question is asked, if the court of the last resort decide in -favor of the Interna tional company, what then should be done? The court of the last resort is the proper tribunal to construe the Constitution and laws and if such decision should be made, it would be the duty of the Legislature to provide for the payment of the bonds. When the Thirteenth Legislature met, the friends of the money subsidy said, the Legislature must leave "the bond question where it found it, with the courts. This it did. It is true the House passed a bill, in troduced by myself, giving the International twenty sections of land to the mile for all the road built, and that it might hereafter build as before stated. This was the only bill passed by either House. In order, as they hoped to do, ta injure certain Western men, two subsidized papers assert that the Western members defeated the Western roads. These are falsehoods, known to be such when made. It is known to those papers that not one single bill came before the Legislature to incorporate a railroad company but what passed the House, and was voted for by every Western member present. The two bills for the Pierce and Morgan roads were introduccel by myself. They were, by the terms of those bills required to build through Gon zales, Seguin nnd Lockhart, if they go to Austin, the Morgan road proposed to do this anyhow, and therefore it did not coiu- Elain. That bill passed both Houses and ecame a law. In 1803, the company own ing the charter from Columbus to San An tonio, sold out to the Columbus auel Harris burg road company. In that sale, the purchaser, Mr. Pierce, then being one of the owners, agreed to build this road by these towns. I was a party to this contract. Mr. Pierce went to the Twelfth Legisla ture, and obtained an act consolidating the two charters. In that bill Gonzales and Se guin are not mentioned ; but it was not in the power of the Legislature to interfere with our contract, and w hen I drew the bill, giving the Pierce road sixteen sections of land to the mile, I required him, Mr. Pierce, to fulfill his agreement with the people of Gonzales, Guadalupe and Comal counties. Was I right or not ? That bill passed the House and went into Senator Flanagan's pocket, and there remained. Now, I have not spoken of the part I took in other legislation, and enly allude to these railroad matters, in consequence of the unscrupulous manner in which my course on the road question has been assailed by in terested parties. It will be seen that most of the railroad charters, especially those preparing the way to ask for more than they ought to get, are preceded by large preambles and where ases; stump speeches about progress and civilization, etc. ; and to listen to some .of the advocates of these measures, one would suppose that the one road to Heaven and the Elysian fields, lay over some of these projects of civilization. Sometimes, in answering these silly out bursts, we were driven to pretty severe crit icisms of these large corporations, and grand monopolies. No one denies that railroads may be nnwlo usoful . nd - beneficial tiHlC" public. ISUt there are many disadvantages attending their construction. It is the disposition of each and all, without exception, to drag from the people every dollar and immunity that they can get. No man, who reads any thing but his own county papers, will deny the fact that these large corporations arc controlling the governments of this conti nent. Every effort made in the late Legisla ture, looking to a rightful police over these corporatiens, was instantly denounced by their paid papers, and the authors of such efforts denounced as "ox cart" men. On several occasions I gave, in, brief, lry views on railroads, but they were invariably sent to the country warped and distorted. I want roads, and after it had been set tled that the lands should go, I attempted to get a fair divide for the West in aid of the roads.' If the State, however, is to build the roads, let her build, own and operate them. If the .State lias lands, the law-making f)0wer, if not restrained, may give the ands to whomsoever, and for whatever she may think proper. This is power, it may not always be right. If she has her coffers fall of money, and is not restrained, she may give the money to whom, and for whatever purpose she thinks proper, though it may not always be right. In these cases, there is no way by which a citizen can in terfere, and stop it. But when an agent of the people, as a law-maker, undertakes to make promises, that cannot be fulfilled with out calling on the people to respond to the demands of the tax-gatherer, he may say no; and invoke the laws of the land, and even-handed justice to stay the robbery. Give all the charters asked for to build roads, reserving all necessary control over the corporations, so ns to prevent them from oppressing the icoplc; deal with them justly and fairly; but as the'y arc the creatures ol tne Dtate, jet tncni know that they c;uinot Income the masters of the creator. I am met by the remark, that Texas has not yet suffered any of the wroncs a the hands of these corporations of which we spoka. These men do not know what is going on outside their ow n town or city. They elo not care to know. I trust that wc will profit by the cxjcriencc of others, and as tliese corporotions grow up, wc will keep pace with them, and not allow them to bind us hand and foot, as they have done those in other States. I trust that the next convntm .luui tv lame a Constitution for Texas, will settle this money 'donation matter for ever. There is leing a goo I eleul paid as to w hat the policy of the next nominating Con vention shall Ik.'. As for myself, I want no new organization, I w ih to see the Demo cratic party revivified, consolidated anew, and a pure democratic platform adopted. I w ish to see the people governed less. I want to see them shoulder the responsibility of society, and have them to feci that they are the government, instead of mere machines. I shall abide the action of the Convention, and give a hearty support to its noinin'-es, and I trust wc will iiave no independent candidates; for whatever their motive may lc, the inevitable effect of their conduc t, is, to defeat the majority; and in this State to rpromote the success cf the Radical party.

Under this tith our extemporary of the ia his is-ue of the seven Tr'J unt publishes. teenth, a lea linrr article, the animus of which can be teen, in the suljosncl intro ductory paragraphs: "The day and the time when old fotries mhrd and reigned, w hen they were leaders and directors f affairs has passed away. They struggle hard for the supremacy yet, but it is a hopeless. task; they are behind the age and cannot appreciate or compre hend the necessities and requirements of the times. A new era has dawned upon us; new actor have stepped into the arena, and per form their pans upon the stse cf political life. A new and xaore delightful organura cf 6fiir fcsiuses the sway, because it is fresh, vigcrous and itstued with all the far seeing and elevated needs of the hour. "But one thing is sure, if the young men of this country are not true to themelves and true to alfthat is best for the country, the fossil will take the lead from them and wear the feathers and chaplets that of right thev should wear. "In this Marion county, there are young men enough, so far as numbers go, and in finitely enough so far as intelligence and ability is concerned, to sway and rule polit ical affairs and to place the country exactly upon whatever level they d?sire. It is strange they have not acted before this; it is more than strange that they sit idly and supinely elown, allowing the golden oppor tunity to' slip from their grasp," Wanning up with his subject as lie pro ceeds he tells his readers as with the voice of an oracle : "We have a thousand evils and wrongs to correct and to do away with, that a cor rupt party heretofore in power, has fastened upon us; and to do this we need our best, wisest, most active young men at the front as leaders and law makers." We notice articles somewhat similar to the foregoing in several of our Texas ex changes appealing to young men to go to "the" front," bat none of them as decided as this of the Tribune. There was a time when age and experi ence, nnd a knowledge of public affaire, were considered valuable, and the passports to positions of prominence in the counsels of the county; but, if we are to credit this very niodest young writer, old men, as a class arc "fossils" and "old fogies;" "a new era has dawned upon us," and the young men of the country, "fresh, vigor ous, and imbued with all the far-seeing and elevated needs of the hour," are to take the lead in all political affairs and particularly "as law makers." It is not surprising that a gentleman in spired with such elevated notions of the young men of tho country, should exhibit an impatience at their want of assurance in not thrusting themselves forward to "the front," and that he should reproach them for setting "idly and supinely down, and allowing the golden opportunity to slip from their grasp." But the more thoughtful and considerate? men of the State, young and old, appreciating the research, investiga tion, and experience required to properly qualify a man for office, will perceive in this exhibition of modesty on the part of our young men, much to admire and com mend. Rollins tells us, in his history of Greece, that a young Athenian, of good family, suddenly determined that he would enter the public counsels. Upon this fact being made known, his family were thrown into great distress as they were conscious of his incapacity, which would be more manifest by his immediate association with the array of eminent men that at that period adorned the Athenian Senate. Having in vain en deavored to dissuade him from his resolu tion,' the matter was submitted to Socrates, who undertook the task of weaning him from his folly. A few days afterwards he met the young man in a public place, aud after warmly embracing him, congratulated him upon his determination of entering public life. He said to him, in substance: "It is gratifying to the old men, who have directed the counsels of the country, to witness the am bition of the young to take part in public affairs, and to fill their places with credit to themselves and honor to their country. No doubt you have prepared yourself for the great task you have undertaken. While your associates have spent their days aiul nights in luxury and idleness ou have trimmed the midnight lamp. Vou have studied attentively the constitution of your country. You are acquainted intimately with its history; have marked the errors of its government, and have prepared in your own mind, a remedy for those errors which characterise all administrations. You are conversant with its internal policy; you know its resources and its policy as regards other States has engaged your attention. You have reviewed its laws, and have found where they are defective and required amendment. Not only so, but the neglect of rulers has not escaped your attention, and you are prepared to recommend a line of policy, internally and externally, which will add to the strength and power of the commonwealth." He was thus proceeding, when the young man suddenly interrupted him by saying: "Desist I You have convinced me that I have acted without proper reflection. I have not made that preparation which is insepa rable from a wise administration of public affairs, and I shall at once decline the hon ors which I unworthily sought." How far this will apply to the young or old men of the country, who, without merit, are zealous in urging their claims upon the people, they can determine for themselves. But we would direct the at tention of our cotemporary, who is a scholar, to the history of Rome, which wc presume he has attentively read and considered. The very sentiments he endeavors to inculcate, was the first downward step tend the first serious blow to the Roman empire. Is it sensible to take men without training or experience, and place them at the head of public affairs! and when "wise above what is written," they start out with the an nouncement that their fathers and grand fathers were "old fossils" and "old fogies?" How does it look on paper? It smacks to us of "young America," and "a little too fast." If it were not for the fear of In ing considered offensive, we would call it down right impudence, but desirous of "drawing it mild," we 6hall simply denominate it as "modest assurance." The just rule, wc think, in all countries, t and particularly in republics, is to place its wisest and purest men in office. W hile the young men of the country have not Wen without honor and ultimate distinction, age and experience, when sustained by talent, have been its reliance. They framed the federal constitution, and. (nr wvmtjr rM, to our country a eiistiaction which no other in ancient or modern times has ever reached. This flippant manner of Fpeaking of men oi age ana experience, many of w hom are distinguished for their moral worth, ability and patriotism, is not commendable. It has a bad outlook, and whatever the writer may think of it, w ill lend to the impression that he is not only fclf-conceited, but thf.t his early training his leen neglected. Wc would advi.se him to be a little more uiod-f-st, and not to set his megs too high.

Nor is their lakr at an end. They cannot yet enjoy the sweets and comforts of home in peace and quiet. The smokes of peace ; the war dance in full war paint; the Indian feasts on the reservations and pow-wows with the Indian agent, commissioners and what-nots, only terminate to bring the Indian bettor armed and better supplied with ammunition to raid on the frontier of Western Texas. The tables are turned. It is no longer the Indian that is driven from his haunts o suffer from hunger. Oh, no! to save the lives of 6clf and family, it is the frontier settler that is elrivcn from his homestead, too often to witness it, as lfe crests the dis tant hill in his flight, enveloped in flames. It is now the frontier settler that is robbed by the government Indian. It is the set tler who is subjected to hunger and to rob bery by the government, w hether by his pi t Indian or the tax-collector. San Ah tonio UeraU. .Complete Africanization States. of Certain The elispostion to create a new State west of the Tennessee and cast of the Mississippi river grows stronger, espe-cially in Missis sippi. The Africanization of Louisiana portends like results in Mississippi. The tendency of African migration is toward the lowlands, and of whites to the hills. With tho accumulation of wealth, white farmer gather in villages and in cities, and the tendency to town-building grows stronger each day with tho progressive aggregation of negroes. Villages and towns w ere never so prosperous, and their projrrcssivencps is in inverse ratio with that of the country in wealth and populousncss. While in narrow district s the two races are thus segregated, the process in a wider field goes on with marked elistinctness. From the poorer and older States, and from tho less productive counties, the w hole negro population of the South is slowly and steadily massing itself in two or three States. In oiic of its aspects the Beauregard movement will be consumma ted. The negroes of the South will become a distinctive State-government body, and there w ill be white States and black S tates. Louisiana will be of the black States. And so palpable do many Mississippiuns deem the same result as their political und per sonal fortunes may Ikj affected by it, that they would assent, even now, to an inevita ble result by creating a new State of which counties now having a large white popula tion may become a part. The very proposition to annex to West Tennessee those counties of Mississippi . north of the Tallahatchie river is a pro;o sition to surrender the State, as' it w ill then exist, to the final and exclusive domination of negroes. Pecuniarily the people may lose nothing. Negroes, at tins hour, are quite as anxious to own property in negro communities as are whites to secure homt:3 in districts owned by whites. And thus the process of separation of whites from blacks, and the aggregation of each race in district commniniticB, goes on w ith a rnpidity that ia even wonderful. Bcp.uregard only adver tises the fact that Louisiana is to be a black State, and that the masses of the whites will move out as negroes move in, and tho rapidity of this process of change U only limited by the failure of negroes to make crops, the' proceeds of which, to the la t farthing, will bo invented ia houses in the. States turned over to African mastery. It is objected that the northern counties of Mississippi have no right to abandon the rest to the unrestricted domination of ne groes, and it is answered that the doom of the State is sealed, and that the northern counties do no wrong in providing for their own security. Of course, there Is n.uc h e f all this indicative of the course of future rather than of present events. Not the le earnest, among thoughtful people, i? tho discussion of facts and questions here pre sented which Mississippians are accustomed to consider when the migratory niovcrne-nu of races in the gulf States are closely scanned.
