Washington count Sartigessaid emphatically to
his acquaintances, that In case of an European
war, the right of search [would be asserted and

by captures.
Washington, May 28.—At a meeting of*the
cabinet to-day, the foreign policy of our gov-
ernment and the form of dispatches to be ad-
dressed to our foreign ministers, were agreed
upon with a view of defining our position du-
ring the pending hostilities in Europe.
The dispatches direct our ministers to de-
clare that the United States will remain neutral
unless our rights upon the high seas are infring-
ed, and set forth in clear language our position
upon the right of search question.

twenty-four hours and is still falling.
Great excitement prevailed in Sonora owinir

another Sonora expedition at San Francisco,
and the Mexican authorities and people were
greatly exasperated against the American resi-
dents of the country.
The American residents of Hermosillo had
been ordered to leave the city within twen-

COLD FEE!7
Cold feet are th.i avenues to death of multi-
tudes every year ; it is a sign of imperfect cir-
culation, or want of vigor of constitution. No
one can be well whose feet are habitually culd.
When the blood is equally distributed to every
part of the body, there is general good health.
If there be less blood at any one point than is
natural, there is coldness; and not only so,
there must be more than is natural at seme oth-
er part of the system, and there is fever—that
is, unnatural heat or oppression. In the case
of cold feet, the amount of bloo ! wanting there
collects at some other part of the body which
happens to be the weakest, to be the least able
to throw up a barricade against the inrushing
enemy. Hence, when the lungs are weakest,
the extra blood gathers there in the shape of a
common cold, or spitting blood Clergymen,
and other public speakers, by improper expo-
sure, oft* n rende- the'throat the weakest ja'rt;
to such, cold feet give hoarseness, or a raw,
burning feeling, most felt at the little hollow
at the bottom of the neck. To others, again,
whose bowels are weak through over-eatiiig.or
drinking spirituous liquors, cold feet give vari-
ous degrees of derangement, from common
looseness up to diarrhoea or dysentery; and so
we might go through the whole body, but for
the present, this r sufficient for illustration.
If you are well.l et yourself alone. This is our
favorite motto. Rut to you whose feet are in-
clined to be cold, we suggest that as soon as
you get up in the morning, put your feet at
once in a basin of cold water, so as to come half
way to the ankles ; keep them in half a minute
in winter, or two minutes in summer, rubbing
them both vsgorously, wipe dry, a id hold to
the fire, if convenient, in cold weather, until
every part of the foot feels as dry as your hand,
then put on your socks or stockings. On go-
ing to bed at night, draw off your stockings!—
On going to bed at night, draw off your stock-
ings, and hold the foot to the fire f< r ten or fif-
teen minutes, until perfectly dry, and get ri<*ht
into bed. This is a most pleasant operation,
and fully repays for the trouble of it. No one
can sleep well or refreshingly with cold feet—
In bivouac all sleep with t'.;e feet towards the
fire: Never step from your b*d with the naked
feet on an uncarpeted floor. , I have known it
to be the exciting cause of months of illness —
Wear woollen, cotton, or silk stockings, which-
ever keep your feet most comfortable; do not
let the experience of another be your guide for
different persons require different articles; what
is good for a person whose feet ara naturally
damp, cannot be good for one whose feot are
always dry. The donkey who had his ba ' of
salt lightened by swimming a river, advised his
companion, who was loaded down with a sack
' of wool, to do the same, and having no more
sense than a man or woman, he plunged in,and
in a moment the wool absorbed the water, in-
creased the burden many fold, and bore him to
the bottom.—HalFs Journal of Health.

candidates -brought out, two haVeeonsented to
mn, and it only remains to be. seen-whether
Gen. Houston will run or not—consent to risk
himselif before the people of Texas once more
for the Gubernatorial Chair. We do not think
that the Disorganize™ can get Gen. Houston
to face the music aay more. The old man has
too much foresight to risk his future upon the
political waves: satisfied that he would be
overwhelmed and lost. But, there is one thing
certain, his friends are going to compel
him to run,; if such a thing can possibly
be done. By associating the name of the nom-
inee of the Houston Convention for Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office they thiuk
to give their ticket strength ; but the attempt
will fail. The trick is too apparent at first
sight to carry any force with it.
They would bring out their disorganizing
candidates before the people and make an is-
sue upon the late L'tate Printing difficulty;
but the people will give such a low-down at-
tempt as that, the just rebuke which it deserves.
Let them now make the city of Austin ring
with their shouts, it will only be an anticipa-
ted jubilee foreseen, and their eyes will be
opened to realize a disgraceful defeat. But a
short time, and the decisive blow will be struck,
and the seal of condemnation set upon the
heads of the traitors of the Democratic party,
and they will find it is not left to the disorgan-
Izers -of Travis county to command and make
the whole people of Texas bow in humble sub-
mission to their dictation ; they will find that
a fair representation of nearly the whole people
of Texas assembled in Convention, and bring
ing forward sound and true men, will be sus-
tained by the votes of Texas.
Perhaps Gen. Houston, backed by his sup-
port of the Administration of President Bu-
chanan, and his denunciation of the course of
Judge Watrous, will once more come before
the PEOPLE, to vindicate his past course,
and wipe out his political iniquities. If he
think so, let him once more appeal personally
to the inhabitants of every town and hamlet,
and he will find that they will rise up with one
voice, as of yore, to express their utter condein
nation of him. Some one will certainly be
brought out; the disorganizes cannot stand
still; they must have a full ticket, r.nd Gen.
Houston is the strongest man they can brin
forward, and his strength is mutfl. The dis-
affected will exert themselves, and strain every
nerve to carry the day before them.
The time has come at last, when it behoves
the Democracy to organize and rally around
their standard-bearers. The initiatory fight,
for 1800, in the State of Texas, is fo be fought
now, and it is the duty of every Democrat to be
on the alert, to buckle on his armor and pre-
pare for the coming contest. The last grand
effort will be made hy the enemies of Deuiocra
cy at the present election. It will be the final
effort and the one that will ever show forth the
conspicuous and prominent actors against the
I )emociratic party; it will show those who have
been nursed in the bosom of Democracy, who
have received office from the Democracy of
Texas, and not being satisfied with their pres-
ent position, would, to satiate their thirst for
political preferment, tear down the very foun-
dation and strike to the very heart of the party
that has conferred honor upon them.
Let them bring forward their candidates,
and show their true colors at once; the De-
mocracy were never better prepared to thrash
them out than they are now, never stronger
nor more miitcd than at the present time.
The nominees of the Houston Convention
have once been tried by the people ot Texas,
and not found wanting; and they are willing
to trust them again. All the Generals and
profound orators the bolters can bring out, will
not mar their prospects nor turn the true ver-
dict of pie people. They have offered them-
selves for vindication of their past course, and
at the polls on the first Monday in August
they will find their past course and the princi-
ples they sustain vindicated by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Nothing can stay the inevita-
ble verdict, nor'turn the people from the real
issues.
Then, again we say, let the Democracy of
Texas not lull themselves to sleep, but go to
work with renewed energy, and roll up such a
majority that will for all time to come prostrate
the Opposition, and forever stay their wild
machinations, and compel them to retire from
the field. Ir needs but one more time to
thrash them out. They will, doubtless, again
appear under some new name and clothed with
some other garment. Then, let us prepare to
assemble once more on the first Monday in
August, and send forth a charge that will sweep
like an avalanche from the records of our poli-
tical history the machinations of such foul
charges as have been, and will be, brought
forth against the nominees ol the Houston
Convention and the representatives of the De-
mocracy of Texas. * * *
A New Convention.
A call is made by the Bolters of the Hen-
derson Convention for a new Convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress, in opposi-
tion to J udge Reagan. Of what counties the
delegates to the new Convention will be com.
posed, we arc unable to say. We do not think
that out of the whole number of counties in
this Congressional District more than half a
dozen will be found to respond to the call.
Thete, of course, will, if they meet, bring for-
ward some gentleman desirous of being inform-
ed by the people of the first Congressional Dis-
trict that his services are not needed at pres-
ent, and it will be expected for him to remain
at home. Pendleton Murrah seems to be the
choice of the Jefferson Herald, which is doing
Reagan more yood than all the Democratic pa"
pers in the District combined. The Judge
should not be slow to return his thanks to that
gentlemanly editor for the denunciations he is
pouring out upon his poor devoted head ; for it
will, inevitably be the cause of his carrying
Cass county by a large majority. But we
think that to all appearances Geo. W. Chilton
is likely to be the man that the would-be rulers
of the Henderson Convention will bring for-
ward. We would like to see Mr. Chilton en-
ter the contest, if for nothing else hut to make
it interesting. That distinguished gentleman
and profound orator will soon find that the
people of this District will not tolerate a man
who would engraft into this Government a
system of laws recogizing piracy as lawful,
and a dissolution of the Union as the proper
course for the South to pursue at present. He
will find that the voters of this Congressional
District do not think it consistent with their
honor and welfare to be the first to make a
step towards the piratical act of re-opening the
slave trade; nor of much benefit to them to
send a man to represent them in the House of
Representatives, where all the wise and worthy
cluster together for consultation, and to enact-
aws forithe benefit of the people ; nor consis-
tent with their intelligence as freemen, who
cons,dejthat they have a voice Jn the councils
of the Nation. U the Bolters think so, and
can dupe Mr. Chilton to advoeate their views,
trot J*iui °ut! The invincible
Reagan has thrown down the gauntlet to any
one as an advocate contrary to such doctrine
and defies any one gentleman to meet him be-
fore the people upon such.an issue. >

his withdrawal from the Convention ; how-

here, and I suppose generally throughout the

G. W. Kendall, of the New Bronfils, for Gov

in such measures it is a nutter known only in
conjecture. They both being convivial sort

The Methodist ministers are getting uj

On Friday last a certain conspicuous tool oi
the Opposition party was observed stealthily
walking the secret avenues and back-door-
ways, clandestinely circulating written copies
of Union-Houston Know-Nothing humbnggery
among the (supposed) "tahy" and gullible
element ol our population, and soliciting their
assignment to the same> calling upon the
" Freemen," (!) &«-, to mejet inj Convention (J)
on the following Saturday to repudiate tlie
Houston Convention, to nominate their candi-
dates, and, finally, to save the Union !
On Saturday morning bills « la Buckley s
Circus posters, were tackejl about on the cor-
ners, containing the same matter, I am- told,
contained in the aforesaid written document
with ninety names annexed, stating that the
meeting would take place in the Federal Court
Room at 1J o'clock, P. M. I suppose it was
about 2, P. M., when I entered the room.
Since I was two years old Dhave visted Con-
ventions, mass-meetings, assemblies, &c., but I
never before was ushered into such a promis-
cuous, hetereogeuiouo conglomeration oi hu-
manity as on this occasion. Old Line (ba .)
Whigs, Know-Ncthings, Independents, (!) Ren-
egades, Bolters, Faggots, Frazzles, Stubs and
Tail-ends ot all parties, with an occasional
Democratic spectator, was the material ol
which that great and glorious Union Conven-
tion consisted. The " organization " had ta-
ken place before my appearance, but it was ap-
parent that they had everything " done up af
ter the most approved s*yle." A little upstart
Dutchman was Chairman, and J. M. Gibson,
late editor of that defunct K. N. sheet, the
Sentinel, played Secretary. They had bam-
boozled about thirty blubber-mouth Dutch into
their concern, to whom was assigned the office
of "cheering the speaker." Hiis, however,
was done rather secretly—they taking their
seats in the audience without pen, ink, or pa-
per, and could only be distinguished as such
by their discharge of duties peculiar to those
offices.
Jack Hamilton was in the rostrum, vocifer-
ous in denouncing " Conventions." (?) I pro-
cured a seat immediately in front of hiui that 1
might distinctly understand^what he said, a':d
kept a ctitical eye upon jhiin during the re-
mainder of his harraiigue. This was the first
time I have heard Hamilton, and from the
reputation he sustains as an orator I expected
to have heard a Cicero or a Demosthenes, but.
alas ! to say the best, I only heard a wild, bois-
terous, impetuous rabble-rouser, without a sin-
gle element of the fine, classic orator. He
boldly attacked the opening of the Atrican
slave trade—charging it upon the IX mocratic
party as a secret tenet, and that he would hold
tlieni responsible for it—that they desired to
evade it, but he would thrust it upon them.
He repudiated the States Rights doctrine—
advocated the solidity of the Union, right or
wrong—favored the acquisition of Cuba, but
bitterly denounced " filibustering." He pro-
claimed emphatically his eternal hostility to-
ward the Democratic party—said he had acted
with the Democracy of Texas, but that he
" never was a Democrat at heart," and never
expected to be, thereby acknowledging himself
a demagogue, an imposter and hypocrite, lie
became very facetious in his miserable attempt
to ridicule the Democratic party, and finally
wound up with a Ciceronian panegyric upon
(the memory oi) Sam Houston, upon whose
shoulders he hopes to ride into Congre ss. He
was quite sublime whenj he approached the
fame, valor and virtues of the " old hero," but
when he came to the " venerable scars" 011 the
old Ajax's heel} he poured out a pathos that
brought forth a quart of crocodile tears to ev-
ery pint of whiskey drank on the occasion.—
He then gave the enraptured auditory a most
flattering self-recommendation, and took his
seat, amid thumps and lams of the enthusiasts,
and the horrid shrieks and yells of t' e hired corps
of lager beer amateurs* would have reminded
you more of the fall of Babel or Pompeii, inter-
mingled with the savage war-whoop, than
gratulatory applause in a political meeting.
The Chairman then rose and drew from his
vesturaut a series of Union-shriek ing resolutions,
handed them to the Secretary, who read them
and put them to the house, viva voce. Col. St.
Clair, in order to test the real character of the
concern, offered a series of resolutions endor-
sing the Administration of President Buchan-
an, the perpetuity of the!Union, a strict con-
struction of the Constitution, and the action of
the Houston Convention in rejecting the reso-
lutions affecting the African slave trade.—
These resolutions were rejected with a stun-
ning clamor that reached the remotest recesses
of the Swenson building.
Cries of " Pease I"- " P^ase!" were loudly
raised. Pease declined making a speech on
the ground that he was unprepared to do so;
whereupon the Chairman put him in nomina-
tion for Lt. Governor, after having put Hous-
ton in nomination for Governor. The votes,
of course, were all unanimous.
Pease then mounted his chair, and in a
brief declination of the honor tendered h;m,
declared his identity to and affiliation with the
Fusion party—to aid Jack Hamilton in saving
the Union, and the annihilation of all opposi-
tion to their Herculean labors.
The intensity of political fever had, by this
time, reached 1001, Fareuheit. Ed. Clark
was then put in nomination for Lieut. Governor.
All "signified" by saying " Aye," of course.—
The Col. enthusiastically mounted the rostrum
and sputtered out a dish of Graciana's logic,
all of which was, of course, swallowed with
avidity, when the Convention, by acclamation,
declared the collosal Andrew Jackson-Union-
skrieking-juggling-quibbling-immolating-Ham-
ilton the Fusion nominee for Congress.
The GREAT Union-saving, Squatter Sov-
ereignty Convention then adjourned, sine di".
Awe and consternation prevailed. It is said
that some of the lager be-ir tribe, not being
accustomed to the Know Nothing mode of re-
joicing, evacuated the building at their earliest
convenience, without mak.ng the rnrnal and SZAMIHATIOH.

Mr. De Morse:—
Dear Sir: I drop you a few lines, to inform
you that theie is a good and practicable road,
from Northern Texas, through to the Pike's
Peak Gold country, (rom lionham, Fannin
county, Texas, by Roggy Depot, l'nm there to
this place. Distance Irom Bonharn here, lo5
miles. Roads are good, water and grass are
plenty, country level. From there, there is a
plain road over to old fort Mannalias, Atkinson,
011 the Arkansas. The route leads up the Ca-
nadian river, to between the 98 and 99th lati
tude; there the road crosses over to the Arkan.
sas river, and there intersects the main road
from Ft. Smith, Ft. Gibson, and Kansas city.
Mr. Aird of this placc, came down here from
the Arkansas river, aud says that to travel
from Northern Texas to the Gold region, this
route is decidedly the best; the best watered,
best grass, and four hundred miles nearer than
to go by Fort Gibson. The Wagons have left
here. I have stopped behind, a few minutes,to
drop you these lines, for the guidance of any
that may wish to come through, to the gold re-
gion. WVare all well, and in fine spirits, and
have had very good luck so far. More anon.
Respectfully, A. M. GASS.

I.adics and Gentlemen of Clarksville, and the sur-

they should fail 10 trade. All he asks is a fair show
and if he does not satisfy everybody that there are
inducements offered to trade with him, of course it
will be his loss.
I will not promise to sell goods for less than cost,
as 1 do not know (nordo I want to) how tosellgoods
tor less than cost, and still make a living by selling
goods; but 1 propose to sell desirable goods, at mod
erate profits.

that they cannot pay me at the end of the year will
not ask me to credit them, as I cannot afford to sell

To the Sheriff of Red River County—G br btiwo:
WHEREAS, on the 16th day of May, 1859,
Matthew Watson, Plaintiff, filed m my of-
fice his Petition against Ann E. Hamilton J. -
Taylor and wife Euphemia A., Anna Oole^and
Elizabeth Arrow Hamilton, heirs of William K
Hamilton, deceased, William B. Hamilton. Rob-
ert A. Hamilton, George Tarry, senior, and wife
M. E. formerly M. E. llamiltcn, .Tam<* Hamilton.
Alexander Hamilton, —— BaKlinall and
Baslinall, children of Isabella Bashnall, fonnerh
Isabella Hamilton, alleging that Robert Hamil-
ton departed this lite in the vear having
made and published Ins Last Will and Testament
l v which he bequeathed his Estate consisting of
Land, Negroes, and other property in tbeStates of
Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, :o his brother
Patrick Hamilton, to his nephew W illiam ,F. Ham-
ilton, an i to the widow and children of hw brother
John Hamil on. deceased. And that William r.
Hamilton one of the executors named in «aid Will
qualified and took possession and control of tlie
whole ot the Estate of said Robert, and that Pat-
rick Hamilton, the brother of naid Robert, and
one cf'tlie devizees of s*aid Robert, and Robert A.
Hamilton, a son of said Patrick held large de-
mandri as creditors of said Roltert Ilmiilton, de-
ceased, and the said Estate being greatly embar-
rassed. and said claims being somewhat doubtful
in order to tacilitate the collection ot the tome the
said Patrick ami Robert A. Hamil tort on the sixth
dav of jJecember 1S49, entered into a contract
with said William F. Hamilton, executor of said
Robert Hamilton bv which they agreed, if said
William F. would pay over to the said Patrick his
claim against said Robert Hamilton, aiuountin,
at that time to tig- sum ot Sixty-three Thousan
Six Hundred and Ninety-seven dollars, aiid to the
said Robert A. Hamilton, amounting at that time
to the sum of Seven Thousand Six Hundred and
twenty-two Dollars, the said Patrick would in con-
sideration thereof, to quit claim, transfer and con-
vev when required,- to tlie said William F. Hamil-
ton, all right, title, and interest which he the said
Patrick bad in, and to the estate of said Robert
Hamilton, 1\ ing in the.States of Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and Texas. And your petitioner states that the
sum 01 Forty-six Thousand, Seven Hundred and
torty-three and 04 hundredths dollars due on said
agreement was paid by said William F. Hamilton
as executor of Kobert Hamilton, and was charged
to the estate of said Robert in his settlement as
executor, that said William F. paid no other con-
sideration tor tile interest of said Patrick in the
estate ot said Kobert than that mention**! in said
contract, and which was not paid by him as re-
quired by said contract, but paid by the estate ot
said Robert Hamilton, and further Btates that
.fames Hamilton, a brother of said Robert, and
Father of William F. Hamilton, depaited this lite
in the year lS.'jti, having first made and published
his last Will and Testament in which he bequeath-
ed to said John Hamilton the sum of five thous-
and dollars, and that V"iliiam F. Hamilton quali-
fied as Executor ot said James, and took posses-
sion of said Estale, and deoarted this life in the
year without having paid said legacy to said
John, or without settling the estate of said Robert
that after the death of said William F.. Petitioner
qualified as Administrator, de bonis turn, with the
Will annexed, of said Robert Hamilton. That
since bis a[i|H)ii tinent. he has paid as Administra-
tor aforesaid to the Administrators ot Patrick
Hamilton, and to bobert A. Hamilton, the sum of
titty-one thousand, tour hundred and twenty-five
and i'm bundred'hs Dollars on the contract made
by said William F., and the said Patrick and Rob-
ert A. Hamilton, that after the appointment ot
Petitioner, as such Administrator, he found that
the Estate of said Robert was greatly embarrassed
and anionst other claims against said Estate.—
William F. Hamilton's estate claimed as creditor
a very large sum—over one hundred thousand dol-
lars. which was resisted by John Hamilton"s wid-
ow and heirs as fraudulent, and without consider-
ation. that the widow of William F. Hamilton for
herself and children requested petitioner to pur-
chase with his own means the interest of John
Hamilton's widow and children in the estate of
Robert Hamilton, and also their demands against
William F. Hamilton, and their interest in Patr
rick Hamilton's third of the estate of Robert Ham-
ilton. in order to settle the estate and close the ex-
pensive litigation that had arisen. And in consid-
eration thereof agreed to take one-half of what
might be left of the estate ot Robert Hamilton.—
1 hat in pursuance of" said request, petitioner pur-
chased of .lolin Hamilton's widow and children
lor the sum of Forty-one Thousand Dollars their
interest iu the estate of said Hubert, and their
claims against William F. Hamilton, that after
said purchase, to wit: in May 1K53, your petition-
er entered into a contract, or written agreement,
with the saiil Ann E. Hamilton, for herself and
children, iu which she conveyed to petitioner with
warranty, one-sixth of the Estate ot said Robert
Hamilton in consideration of his relwuie of the
Iclaims of John Hamilton, against Wlljliam P.
Hamilton, and the payment of the claim of the
said William F. Hamilton against Robert Hamil
ton's Estate, but since the compliance on the part
of petitioner, the said Ann E. repudiates said con-
tract, and sets up a claim of two-thirds of the Es-
tate : that said William F. Hamilton left as hie
w idow the said Ann E. and the following children
huphemia A., who has since intermarried with J.
i. Taylor, Anna Cole, and Elizalteth A., and Wil-
liam F. Hamilton who has departed this life since
the death ot his father; that Patrick Hamilton
died leaving the following named heirs: William
B. Hamilton. Robert A. Hamilton. George Tarn-
sen r. and wife M. E. formerly M. E. Hamilton,'
James Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton, Bash-
11a and Baslinall. children of Isabella Bash-
nall. formerly Isabella Hamilton. Petitioner char-
ges that the Heirs of Patrick Hamilton set up no
claim to any part of the Estate of Robert Hamil-
ton, but are willing to relinquish to whom die
Court may de.-.ree. That inasmuch as the monev
due on said agreement made With said Patrick and
Robert A. Hamilton, was paid outofthf aaeette
ot the Estate ot Robert Hamilton, that aiid pur-
cW mured to the benefit of said Estat«. And
that petitioner by his purchase from said John
Hamilton s wi:ow and heire became entitled to
one-half ot said estate. That, the Estate of said
Kobert Hamilton remaining after the payment of
debts, was situated in Ked River County/Texas.—
1 hat the same has been sold for partition and
distribution. That the Executor of the Will of
said Hamilton has resigned, and that no one is
authorized to receive the portion due to the widow
and children ot said William F., now in the hands
ot petitioner as such Administrator.
He therefore asks that the defendants be cited
to appear and answer, and that a decree be ren-
dered. Vesting the title to one-half of stud Estate
to petitioner, and such orders as may lie necetwarv
tp protect him in the payments due the widow and
heirs of said William F. Hamilton.
These are therefore to command you to summon
J. T. 1 ay lor and wife and others by publication
for four successive weeks of this wnt, iu some
Newspaper publisaed in said Red River Conntv to
