directed against the whites; every day brought fresh in-

Zb the Editor of the Telegraph.
City of Houston, April 10, 183S.
' Sir, In rending the reply of Mr. D. G. Burnet, in
your paper of the 31st March, to Hugh B. Johnson ann
others, who had asked leave to use his name as a candi
date for the not Presidency, I was moved with feelings
of surprise' and regret, that he should have digressed so
wantonly and gratuitously, to cast reflections upon the
course and chiractcr of the present incumbent; my re-
gret was the greater, inasmuch as I had been disposed to
entertain feelings of tho highest'regard and consideration
for Mr! Burnett, notwithstanding I was aware of object-
ionablp pocuHariticS'in his character; such as, il'is true,
by softening, might be, by his friends, termed infirmities,
and nit such as could, in fairness, be used to impeach the
soundness of his principles or the purity of his heart. I
would that I could pass so flittering a verdict upon the
fastidious .sensibility which induced him (o makefile re-
ferred to reflections; lhey are too strong! spiced with
that spirit of "rancour and virulence"1 which he depre-
catos with so much severity.- Did tho present incum-
bent merit indignity and disrespect in the unmeasured
terms'bf M?. 'Burnet, I ask what purpose of vublic good,
ho designed-to compass, or patriotic end to subserve, by
ins jjuuiisueuuumiuuiiiiiuu i uriamiy none, me "ex-
ecutive is not a candidate, nor can he be, for ro-elcict;pn.
In a fevv months he retires to p'rlvate life. In tlie aU-
5oncc, then, of patriotic inducement, the mo3t indulgent
must attribute his wanton attack upon the President to
personal rancour and vindictive resentment. How the
indulgence of such poisonous passion, holds-with the
smooth, diffident, and unpretending professions of lofty
patriotism to w-hich he certainly lays( claim, I leave his
country lo answer.
Upon Mr.'Burnett's unique fashion of painthg patriot-
ism, I will "remark, that he who pens or pencils, too often,
for th'o edification' of 'his fcllovtaiiiizcris, no matter with
ivlnt striking fascination of style or felicity of express-
ion, wilMoo late Icanylhat all he has gained in tho res-
plendent republic of letters, he his lost, in the plain de-
mocracy ai men, who will not fail to detect, 'neath the
the blandishment, of patriotic flourish, the rankling Spirit
of malevolence. I do, trust, that in f iture, Mr. Burnett
will notpresent to his fellow; citizens, in so crude and un-
refined a slate, ,his (fatriotism. His , last offering was
certa'inly alloyed w ith much personal Tim. I suggest,
that whcnthe next treats of peace and good will towards
all men, he' does nothurl the'envenomed shaft, by way
of sa'cnficc to concord," to so'od order, to sobriety, and to
good morals. '
- It'is nofmy intention to enter here, Into a defence of
the conduct or'6haracter of -the present incumbent; it is'
before tho world and will be impartially iudo-ccl." ref-nrd"-
less alike of the denunciation 'of 'his enemies, and of the
exalted estimate of his too partial friends. There is cer
tainly, no reason to fear that the iust conceptions and scn-
timontsjof mankind will ever bo perverted by the gusty
effusions of political aspirants.
.In conclusion, I will remark, that tho Executirc has,
whenever exposed! to the,clamor of ignorance, or to the
selfish denimciatibn of .detraction, with unshaken ,firm-
a&33, pursued the pajh. of duty and of honor; and when
called upon'to-acti'has prove'd'fcb the world, that tho most'
important aiid'-bbmnlicafed-'auiistrons of 'national nohcy
did not outreach his'capacity. nor' the minuter details ,of

overcome his assiduity. In the'purity-and ability of his
militaryfcareery-.we had a pledge ofhi3 capacity and fidel-
ity as the President oftho people, and as renubl.cans re
joice in crowning him with tho honors and confidence of
tho country; ui-tbobitterncss of his relentless persecu-

The examination instituted into'Hnc general affairs of
the financial department will convince jou of the ncces-
tity of placing proper restrictions upon the public expend-
iture, and of withdrawing the government from the em-
barrassing and equivocal situation in which it stands, in
being compelled to provide for the most urgent expenses.
All the mot important questions, the good fame of the re-
public, the welfare of its officers and of private individu-
als, tboi industiy, and, finally, tho very existence ( f the so-
ciety, depend upon its solution. The .government will
not fail to attend to this important subject, and wU inform
you at proper intervals ot the result ot its labors. Kour
ro-operation will doubtless equal your zeal for the public
welfare. ' ' ''
The plan upon which the army will be arranged a
point as advantageous to the nation, as useful for discip-
line will from one the principal objeets of the investiga-
tion of the executive. The sufferings of our troops while
maintaining external security and internal order, merit-
ed our gratitude, and I, for one, can nev ci bo indifferent
to their merits. The departments ofiCalifornia and New
Mexico .lavcre-united wth the national government, and
their simple Inhabitants, worthy of all our solicitude, dis-
play, by various m iniicstatious of oLcJience and patriot-
ism, the sentiments by which they are animated,' and
their willingness to co-operate in the tupprcs.-ion of those
