of 1948, entitled " An Act to suppress ille-

That these defendants did not have au-
thority by bv to issue" the notes to circu-
late aa money. The decree of 1836, passed
by the Congress of Co ah ni la and Texas,
No. 806, fid not make a corporation at the
^ of its passage. It authorized Wil-
liams to take the necessary steps to estab-
lish* baakin the department ofBrazos,
subject to the reserved right of the State to
to examine and sanction these measures,
fliwn^ a anmmissioner appoint^ for that
pntdoae.;
These measures not having been consum-
mated until 1847, Williams' authority, not
being a vested right was abrogated by the
Act of 1844, repealing all laws which au-
thorised individuals or corporations to issue
notes to circulate as money, as well as by
the prohibition in the Constitution of the
State, which declares that " no corporate
body shall hereafter be oreated, renewed
or extended with banking or disoouating
privileges." After the adoption of' this
provision, the consent of the 8tate to the
of tfmfi a corporation, though a
or otherwise oould Mot be
"this was a proper remedy ou the
part of the State to inquire into the fact of
whether or not this association had ever
acquired the right thus to issue notes
This exaet offence, not having been de-
fined by the Code, so as to continue the
feapeaal offence at this time, didnot
t this prosecution, there being a sav-
anse in the code to sustain it.

Tan Ssaxi or Texas,
The opinion of the Supreme Court, in the
above entitled cause, proceed ed upon the
ground £that the law of the 20th of March,
1848,. entitled "An aot to suppress illlegal
Banking" was not intended to apply to in-
dividunls, or to the members of a common
commercial partnership, who'might issue
bills, chooks, promissory notes, or other
paper to circulate as money. The Act of
18M was intended to apply to corporations,
acting together through officers. The Aot
of Un 20th March, 1848, did not'ropul the
Act of the 7th of April 1846, entitled " An
Act to prohibit individuals from issuing
bills, irH***. promissory notes, or other
paper to airoslate as money." This last
Aot remained in force after the passage of
; of 1848, on the subject of illegal
fluid until repealed by the adop-
tion eGA* Penal Code. The law of 1846
Was intended to puniah individuals or mem-
bers of oemmeraal partnersnips, who might
issue bills, checks, promissory notes, or
other paper to circulate us money. But the
law of 1846 could only be enforced aa other
criiaiaal laws, that is to say, upon indict-
ment by a Grand Jury. Because the law
of itoMl under which suit was instituted by
the Attorney General of the State against
theffrm of K. & D. G. Mills, has no appli-
cability to such a commercial partnership
:as the defendants constituted; the judg-
ment of the District Court was reversed and
■the cause dismissed.

and a member oi the Toung Men's Stat
Rights Democratic Club of Harris county,
regret exceedingly to hear that some pel
sons whose Democracy is unquestionable •
have placed an improper construction upoi
the adoption of our resolution, which wa:
unanimously passed by the Club at thei
last meeting, inviting the Democracy o
Harris county to meet them in Conventioi
on Tuesday evening, 14th April. To diss
buse the minds of these persons from an;-
erroneous impressions, it is only necessar
to state that the members of the Club di
claim any intention to dictate to tbe De-
mocracy of Harris county, or to arrogate t
themselves any unwarrantable authority
The Toung Men's State Rights Democratic
Club is composed of some fitty members,
each one claiming to be a good and true
Democrat, and they desire to De represented
in the State Convention to be held in Hous-
ton in May. It is now the 4th of April. In
less than a month the Convention is to meet,
and all will acknowledge that up to this
time, " masterly inactivity" has character-
ized tie Democracy of the county. The
time has already passed when some action
should have been had on the matter. We
desire that ample notice be given to every
Democrat in the county—that the whole
oounty may be fairly aud impartially rep-
resented. We are sick and tired of the
cry of "unfair" Conventions consequent
upon the short notice usually given. These
are some of the reasons that prompted the
action of the Toung Men's Club—in invit-
ing the Democracy to meet with us in Con-
vention as Democrats ; and we do hope all
who call themselves good Democrats will
come and join with us or let us join with
them* in nominating Delegates to the State
Convention. Come, then, and let us work
together, and let harmony and unity of
action prevail. 4^ '

STOCK COMPANY. ?
Me. Editok:—The undersigned, most or
all of whom have for many ye&rs been en-
gaged in the rearing of horses and cattle,
feeling sensibly the importance of improv-
ing upon our present stock, have for some
time had in contemplation the importing of
fine blooded horses, cattle, sheep, for
our own ise. Believing, however, that it
would not only advance the interest of those
who might engage in so laudable an enter-
prise, but benefits in a great degree our en-
tire State, we now propose to form a State
Stock Importing Association, for the pur-
pose of importing and offering for sale, i
public outcry, at such times and places as
may be fixed upon, every description of
good stock of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
Jacks, jeanetts, goats, &c.
The majority of us have, for a length of
time, been engaged in the breeding, buy-
ing and selling of horned cattle. We speak
experience, when we say, that in conside-
ration of the large number of Texas cattle
now raised and sent to other than home
markets, necessarially coming as they do
in continuous competition with the best
breeds raised in the United States, it be-
hooves us, in order to successfully com-
pete, that we should now bestow some at-
tention to the improvements of our nativv
stocks. That we have the finest and larges
scrub cattle in the United States there is no
one will deny, Tet. Mr. Editor, the horn*
and legs require shortening, particularly
the horns, (all who have driven or ship
ped Texas stock, will admit this.) By
Bhortening the horns and legs you will
give to our beef cattle more symmetry of
form, thereby addinggreatly to their valui-.
How is thid to be done? We say ii can
be well and speedily done by the importa-
tion of the improved breeds, which will al-
so add weight and gentleness to our native
breed. Our State is emphatically the xtock
State of the Cniou. Localties can be fomi'i
in her limits well adapted to the profitable
raising of every description of animals.
We belive, by adopting the plan propo-eti
now, good stock can be imported in a giv-
en time, than by any other mode. We couM
extend this article to great length. Deem-
ing it, however, unnecessary, we will cou
elude by sayiug that the undersigned are
determined to make a beginning of this
entei prise, cordially inviting every one
who desires, *.o join them, feeliig assured
that those engaging in it will be tbe in-
strument of accomplishing a great good.
We propose to open books for subscrip-
tion at the office of B. A. Shepherd, Esq.,
of Houston. That the stock shall be in
shares of 25 each, twenty per cent to be
paid in upon subscription, and the balance
upon sixty days' notice being given. The
first meeting of the stockholders to take
place in the city of Houston, on the 5th day
of May next. Those desirous to associate
themselves with us, will please address
either of the undersigned.

She was accompanied by her mother,
Madame Bajioli, and two gentlemen, friendB

so, Mr. Sickles has, from firBt to last, kind-
ly, but resolutely, refused to grant her a
personal interview. He has placed bis
country seat at Bloomingdale, on the Hud-
son, at the disposal of her parents, with the
understanding that Mrs. Sickles may occnpy
it as long as she remains under the protec-
tion of her proper guardians. As he has
never allowed any deprivation to justify her
departure from duty heretofore, he is de-
termined that, in the future, while he can-
not consent to pardon her offence, yet no
want shall ever justify a second yielding to
temptation. Their little daughter is placed
temporarily in the care of Madame Bajioli,
who will reside with Mrs. Sickles
THE ANTI SLAVERY CHURCH IX
FANNIN COUNTY.
It will be remembered that mention was
made the other day of an attempted or-
ganization of a branch of the northern
Methodist church, in Fannin county, a
month or two since. The citizens of the
county were indignant at this move, the
object of which was, apparently, to estab-
lish a center in this State of anti-slavery
religion, and had a meeting in Bonham.
The meeting was well attended we observe
by the Independent; and the following res-
olutions weroadopted. We commend this
course, and hope to see itfollowedin other
parts of northern Texas, if occasion re-
quires.
Whereas, The fratners of the constitu-
tion of the United States wisely provided
for the complete separation of Chnrch and
State by prohibiting strictly any intermin
gling of Politics and Religion. And,
Whereas, the history of all time proves
that any such union of State and Eclesias-
tical policy is detrimental, yea fatal to Civ-
il, Political and Religious Liberty, And
Whereas, The If. E. Church North has
at many of its annual Conferences, taken
up and discussed and acted upon the ques-
tion of Slavery, and by tbe passage of
Resolutions, declared its entire disapprov-
al of said institution, and its determination
to work at all times and in all places to
drive it from our land. And
Whereas, Said M. E. Church North has
organized in our midst and has held two
Annual Conferences in Fannin County, up-
on Timber Creek. At the last of which,
sod Conferences, Resolutions were offered
antagonistic to the rights of the South and
the Institution of Slavery. Therefore be
it Resolved, by the people of Fannin, in
general meeting assembled,
Resolved, That while we deplore the
necessity of thus coming together for tin-
defense of ourm<iet sacred rights, still in
tbe absence of any legal provision to meet
the present emergency, and secure the
peace of our community, against the en-
croachments of said organization and its
Northern friends we do pledge ourselves,
our lives, and our honor, to abide by the
following:
_ Resolved. That the meeting in view of
the facts set forth in the Preamble, do ut-
terly at d entirely disapprove of any organ-
ization of the Methodi-it Episcopal Uliurct-
North, within our dtate or County, as dis
astrous in its working to the perpetuity o;
Civil, Religious and Political Liberty.
Resolved, That from and after passage
of this Resolution, the M. E. Church North
or any other organization of similar feel-
ings upou the question of Slavery, are
hereby requir®d todesistfrom tliedissemina
tion of their doctrines upoji that subject
either in ptiblio or private, within tbe lim-
its of our County.
Reso'ved, That said M. E. Church North
are hereby forewarned from meeting as an
organized body, in a Cliurch or any other
capacity in our midst.
Resolved, That if any person feels him
self aggrieved by these resolutions and
feels that he cannot live up to the require
meuts thereof, he shall, within sixty day",
make preparations and depart the limits ot
this County forever. Meantime, if he
shall violat^the spirit of these Resolutions
he shall be dealt with as the people of the
South have learned to deal with Abolition
ists and "Negro Thieves."
Resolved, That all persona connected

ford stabbed Seaborn in the back, and

A corespondent of the Texian, over the
signature of "Cotton Plant," has an article
two columns and a half long, made up of
some exceedingly ridiculous criticisms of
what we have said concerning Gen. Houston
together with some as ridicules nonsense
about Gen. Houston being the only man
now in Texas. Of course, Cotton Plant is
welcome to his opinions, and can print them,
as much as he pleases, but we have much
mistaken the intelligence of the Texas pub-
lic if, when he gets up such an article as
this, with so many base suppositions taken
as faots, and so muoh vain labor to accom-
plish absurd things, he does not get laughed
at for his pains. He makes absolutely no
point in Gen. Houston's favor to which we
have not done the fullest justice, though he
dwells somewhat more upon his speech in
the Watroas case than we did. Perhaps,
however, he has forgotten two things
which most Texians remember, the first of
which is, that Judge Watrous owes his posi-
tion on the Federal Bench exclusively to
Gen. Houston, without whom he would
never have received his appointment; and
the second is, that, notwithstanding this
speech is regarded as one of the greatest
efforts of the old general's life, and fiat he
seems to have given all his energies to the
accomplishment of his removal, Judge Wat-
rous is still just where he {was before Gen.
Houston made his speech. But we are glad
we have given Cotton Plant a chance to
show his hand, and we shall keep an eye
out for him and his like for the next two
or three months, and if he should turn out
himself to be a " political hack", our read-
ers need not be astonished. His unhappy
reflections upon Mr. Bryan are unworthy
of notice.

COME TO THE MARRIAGE FEAST
Come to tbe marriage feast,—
Loving ones are waiting;
Belles, and beaux, the best and least,—
God's bright birds, are mating :
Cooing, wooing Doves around,
Fill the groves with pleasant sound.
Twittering, chirping o'er the ground.
Come to the marriage feaBt,—
Two fond hearts united ;—
By the sacred hands of priest,
Each to each one plighted ;
Blessed vow, approved in heaven !
By no civil contract given :
By no imposing mortal riven.
Coma to the marriage feast,—
Merry bells are ohiming ;
Lo ! in the dappled east,
The morning star is climbing—
Tet, the fairy dancing feet,
Measured time to music beat,
Whirling, flirting, soft and sweet.
Come to the marrige feast,—
Silver goblets glimmer;
Viands rare from the golden east:
Costly garment; skimmer ;—
But the bride, the modest bride,
Oh! so fair: no want betide—
God, preserve her, in her pride !

Dr. M'Lane's
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER* PILLS.
"1X7"E beg leave to call the at-
* tention of- the Trade, and
more especially the Physicians
of the country, to two of the
most popular remedies now be-
fore the public. We refer to
Dr. Chas. M'Lane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them
as universal Cure-alls, but simp-
ly for what their name purports
viz :
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most sat-
isfactory results to various An-
imals subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of Liver Com-
plaints, all Bilious Derange-
ments, Sick Head-Ache, &c. In
cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking
Quinine, they almost invariably
make a speedy and permanent
cure.
As specifics for the above
mentioned diseases, they are
Unrivalled, and never known to
fail when administered in accor-
dance with the directions.
Their unprcedented popular-
ity has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING RROTHERS
Pittsburgh, Pa.,
to dispose of their Drug busi-
ness, in which they have been
successfully engaged for the
last Twenty Years, and they
will now give their undivided
time and attention to their man-
ufacture. And being determ-
ined that Dr. M'Lane's Celebra-
ted Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to oocupy the
high position they now hold
among the great remedies of the
day, they will continue to spare
neither time nor expense in pro-
curing the Best and Purest ma
terial. and compound them in
the most thorough manner.
Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians o derii>g from oth-
ers th^n P'eminsr B'^s .will do well to write t! eir
~rder« distinct y.and tale n-ne but Dr. t.ane's

LAar TRXATMJJirr BT DR OK1S7I AJfD HIS DSATH.
December 14,1858.—About one in the afternoon, I was
called to see Samuel S Whitney, I found him surrounded
by several members of hi* family in a state ofthe moot
intense excitement, suffering and terror; in answer to
my inquiries as to what had happened, he answered
"Sitdown Beales, and I will tell you the truth; I wa*
such a tool as to go to Dr. Green to be operated upon^tnd
the d—d vll lan has killed me!'"
See Dr. Beales' statement before the Academy of Me-
dicine, in the city of New Tork, as published lu the X.
Y. Herald, Jen. 20.1839.
The unfortunate death of Mr. Whitney is another evi-
dence of the uncertainty, and unreliability of the treat-
ment, for the cure of the sick as practiced by the Medi-
cal Faculty. The de+th of this eminent and well-known
citizen created an excitement of such magnitude as to
Induce the Academy of Medicine to demand an investi-
gation of tbe treatment the deceased had been under,
and of the immediate cause of his death. Yet, after a
thorough and searching post-mortem examination, by
the most able, skilled, and eminent Physicians of the
Regular Practice—the mmebersof the Academy wer*-
unable to decide as to the "immediate cause of death;"
and in their report to the Congress of wise Physicians
there assembled, admitted their Incompetency of solv-
ing this difficult problem. The sad case presented to Qs
in the painful death of Mr. Whitney, is by no meansan
uncommon occurrence. Thousands of human beings
who trust their lives in the hands of physicians, whose
treatment and nractlce is based upon the theories fol-
lowed by the Medical Faculty, are suddenly hurried off
"to that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no
traveller returns." From the testimony produced, be
fore the Academy of Medicine, we are not prepared to
assert that the immediate cause of Mr.Whitney s death
was produced by the application of the nitrate of silver,
through tbe tube, or by the probang. but we do most
emphatically assert that the death ofthe lamented
Whitney was hastened by this treatment. We have al-
ways opposed this method of treatment; and. In our pa-
pers and Annual Almanac, warned the public against it
See!our Almanae. for 1887—page 4.
THE GRKENST9TSM.
"There is another rystem of practice becomingaulte
popular in the treatment of 'Consumption,' namely .thai
of the Green, or burning method, which consists of sy-
rinx ing down the throat a solution of nitrate of silver,
for the purpose of burning the concretions thst may be
there formed.
"We look upon this practice as dangerous aa that of
the inhaling; for, Instead of healing the lungs, in remov-
ing compretlons or tubercles, irritates and produces
sores, ulcers, Ac. It Is a blind, unsafe, aud dangerous
method of treatment and will kill more than it will
cure.
It is not our design. In this article, to discuss the cor-
rectness of of medication in the case of Mr. Whitney,
under the treatment of Drs.Mott and Beales in the va-
rious symptoms exhibited from the 14th of December to
the time of his disease; but we do most religiously and
sacredly believe, taking Dr. Beales statement—who, it
from the evidence given before the Academe
lne, knew more of the physical aud constitu-
tional condition of Mr Whitney's system that any one
Radway's Ready Relief, Regulating Pills, and
uld have saved his
OF DR. BEALES,
*Dr. Beales said: During the number of years that I
have attended Mr Whitney's family, I have not knowr
Mr.'Samuel Whitney to be seriously ill, so as to be con-
fined to his bed; but he has for a long time been subject
else—that 1
Renovutlng Resolvent would have saved his life.
STATEMENT l
cough.
There are thousands and tens of thousands, through-
out the United States, who have been similarly affllctec
and relieved from their difficulties by the use of Rad-
way's Ready Relief, Regulating Pills and Reaolvent. in
ffcet, every day we are visited by patients, complaining
of the same aliments, who become speedily relieved
from their difficulties by the medication of those reme-
dies.
Lotus again refer te the statement of Dr. Beaks, and
endorsed by Dr, Mott,of the treatme t in this caee^om
1 P. M. ofthe 14th of December. The case,as presented
Is fully stated in the Herald of the 10th of January; and
we find In this report the patient with numerous other
Bymptons^uffered severely from irritation and severe
rxmn in Vie throat; his breathing was occasionally irreau-
lar and almost spamuxiic; coughing almost incessantLy.
speaking with great difficulty and vain, in a hoarse and
unnatural tone qf voice. Dr. Beales gave the patient
medicine, for the purpose of producing a reaction; but
the remedies given, it seems, failed. Had he given, ou
tbe instant Radway's Ready Relief, he would have se-
cured the desired result.
Six hours later, the Doctor found his patient suffering
severe pain, "described to be in the larynx down the
course of the trachea in the chest, and round to the
cervical vertebrw." N ot withstanding the great excite-
ment, nervousness and terror, with pulse at 113. th«>
Doctoradml .latcred apreparatlonof Antimony and Moii
phine,for the purpoee evidently of soothing the pain,
exciting the bkln to a more natural action, and allaying
the nerous excitability of thepatient. Had he applied
RADWAY'S READY RELIEF, he would have succeed-
ed; his remedies however, bad the opposite effect. Eight
hours after this medication, h« applied to the_patient an
Anodyne linimentIf Radway's Ready Kelief was
obnoxious to the Doctor, he should have applied the
Anodyne ltntment U bousr earlier.
Dr. Beales stales that "he has/or a long time been sub-
jected to a derangement qf the d*oeshve organ's, and tor-
pidity ofthe bowels,n whsch in other words imply adit-
orderedcondition of the Liver, and during this critical
condition qf the patient he had not a discharge from the
bowels "in three days." Asa remedial agent, an Injec-
tion was given, which failed: after which a tablespoo-
ful of Castor OH—this operated some hours afterwards,
"leaving the patlen' excessively exhausted." Had Rao-
way's Regulating Pllla been given 13 hours alter the pre-
vious operation ofthe bowels, the effect would have
been different—the derangement of the Liver wotik
have been corrected, and a natural discharge from tht
bowels the result, without causing weakness, or In an*
manner exhausting the patient.
The sad and distressing c&se of Mr. Whitney will, w
hope and trust, serve as a warning to the public agalriot
trusting their Uvea In the hands of a clique who ar<
11c nsed to lull the tick In the unconscious sleep of deatl
on scientific principles. Aa we before stated, we ara no:
prepared to assert that the cause of Mr Whitney's deatl
was directly owing to the treatment of the Green srsteir
and, we furthermore believe, had Dr. Beales employed
Radway's Ready Relief, Regulating Pills, and Resolvent
lp his treatment of the case, the life of Mr Whltne?
would have been prolonged. As we have before state*;
the case o< Mr. Whitney is by no means an exception tc
the general rule that follows the medication as prescri
bed bv the regular or official standard of medical law
Had the deceased been an obscure individual, his ca*i
would never have been brought to Jigbt. Thousand-
and thousands of human beings have been killed up
through the Ignorance of their physicians.
Let us again go back to the testimony of Dr. Mott,
regards the usual practice of physicians In maklns "
their certificates of the cause of death to the Clt> lr
spertor. If the doctor speaks truth, the greater part • •
medical certificates are medical falsehoods; and the per
petrators of these falsehoods deserve to be imprisoned
like other criminals undergoing sentence for false prt-
"Tiirm debate then ensued, .lurtngwhlch Dr.ilott
was pressed to state the cause of Mr Whitney's deatn
In replv thereto, b.• stated that It wm wiU known, tlm;
the profession was st a loss to Jeflne the cauv ofdeatb
