PROSPECTUS OF "THE TEXAS TIA1ES."
HTHE proprietor proposes to publish-in the City of Galveston, a
JL wetkl papcr,v unUer the title of "The Te.aa Times." It will be
a continuation of ihe "2sau Luis Advocate," until eleven numbers
shall hacbeen published which will complete the present volume
of that paper. These numbers will be forwarded to subscribes;
and additional copiea sent to sucn persons m Texas and the United
States as are supposed to be desirous of patronising such a Journal
as it is hoped the Times t ill pro e to be
All who are not disposed to subscribe, after becoming acquainted
with the management and character of the paper, will make known
their resohc, by returniug the firs' number of the second volume
through the Post Office. They will not be charged with the first
eleven numbers. All who do not signify their dissent, by this means
qr some other equally convenient, will be enrolled as regular sub-
scribers. The establishment has been removed from San Luis, mainly on
account of faeihues here afforded for communicating regularly with
every section of the Republic, as well as foreign Nations ; and with
the nope of deserving and obtaining, a share ot the business patron-
age of this commercial emDonum of Texas.
. Subscnbers to the "San Luis Advocate" have had opportunities of
judging the mechanical skill used m the publication ol the paper.
An assurance is given to all, that the best materials only will be us-
ed, and unwearied attention given to avoid typographical and other
errors.
Ihe editorial department will be under the control of the proprie-
tor, and no ctfort shall be wanted on his part, to render the c jluiims
of the Times useful and interesting to every class ot readers. Tht.
aid of experienced and talented correspondents, in different sections
of the coantry, has been secured, and readers may itiy on ocmgscr
ved with manv rich treats, illustrating the habits, manners, topog
raphy, mineral wealth, agricultural and all other resources of the
country, calculated to make known and advance U3 mteresis.
No sectional prejudices shall be entertained, but the position ta-
ken, that particular portions of the coantry are peculiarly adapted to
the uromotion of crrusuondiniriiilerL'Sts: ani that tile walth and
nrosnentv attendant on such conircniahtv ot nursutls, dictated by
natural .advantages, will advance the general h lppiness aud welfare
ot all.
The-TiMES is intended to he a National paper, and no opportunity
will balust to collect, and preserve trom oblivion, every interesting
facUelnting to the history and early settlement ot tne country me
difficulties, mils, hardships and dangers, encountered ami conquer-
ed by the "Old Three Hundred" under the great and good Austin,
until Texas tooK rants among tne nan ins.oi me carin. rjvery inci-
dent w orihv of note, in the nresrnt lacereslinc crisis, wil be furnish-
ed by ableWnlefs belonging to the Army and Navy, and faithfully
chronicled in the Times.
Auurtion of each number will be devoted to the publication of a
carefully compded summary of foreign news, and to sui h matters as
mavbe deemed interesting, sneiiceor cenerai informant n. In these
departments, a preference wdl be given to original composition,
whrn conceived to be of such a character as to elevate our Naliona
literature in the estimation of the world.
Timely arrangements will be made to insure a correct and inde-
pendent history of thoproecedmgs of Congress, w hen in session.
In politics, tne Tunes will be nuUpcndcnt, and praise or censure
those who Tire in power, Or those wno may aspire to it, jast as the
principles they advocate are calculated to result in goad or evil to the
country. Ammadversiou3 will be rmde on measures, and not upon
men; the columns of thepapcr shall never be polluted wiih matters
affcctmz the vices, or unv ate characters ot indivicuxus, however high
their station mav be. War will be waged against vite, but not the
vicious.
A reform in the present constitution will be zealously advocated :
it is radically defective unsuited to the times and the country: it
was framed in haste, and without mat deliberation which should be
long to a charter upon which the r.ghts and liberties of a people are
founded.. Its delects will be pointed but from time to time, and the
collisions that dnily arise between the differeut departments of the
gov ernmentf which as a consequence, introduces anarchy and
confusion, render die administration of ubhc jusuce, and the rights
of persons and property, insecure.
Arguments and examples will be introduced, to prove that Texas
can never prosper as a nation, until the contests arising from disputes
-amHinemtunty-nbaut land titles, shall be adjusted, feuch measures
will be supported, as are best calculated to cause a speedy and just
settlement ot this vexed question.
A zealous support will be given, to all measures tending to sustain
and preserve national fanh and national honor. The governing
principle m a Republican government should be, to "do justice to all
and exact it from, all."
The most leasible and effective policy v. hich presents itself, will be
auvoi aieu ior protecting tne irontierirom savage incursion mat tno
vanous resources of thathealihy arid I'cautiiul poition ol tueltcpub
lie, may be realised and enjoyed.
Ununng support will be given to every measure believed to be ne
ccasarv to bnnn to a close the war we arc now engaged in with Mex
ico. Past experience induces the belief that prompt and energetic
action is best calculated to procure peace, without which we can
never enjoy the blessings and prsspenty, incident to a sound cur
rency, credit, and successful commerce.

eleven numbers free of charge, and as other motivi s than pecuniary

The grcatnnportanceof the approaching Presidential Election, de-
m mds of the Whigs the most zealous and untinug efforts, in order
to pcifoct the Union and arouse the slumbering energies of the par-
ty It has been demonstrated on more than one occasion, that the
Whigs of Louisiana, outnumber their opponents by from three to
four thousand, nearly as large a majority, compared with the asgrc-
gate vote, as is given by the best Whig States in the UnionT In
1810, Massachusetts gave a Whig majority of over?wenty thousanj
votes. The majorjty given by Louisiana, as compared with the
number of votes cast, exceeded that of the Bay State about one-jifth.
So that at that election, Louisiana assumed the proud position of the
third Whig State in the Republic; second only to Kentucky and
Vermont This gratifvimr result was attributable only to theunpar-
rallcl.l exertions of the Whigs, to the complete harmony which
rciened throughout their ranks, and their powerful rally in defence of
their principles Will the Whigs of Lnuisnna do less in 1814 for
Harry ot the West, their favorite leader, than they did in 1810 for
the lamented General Harrison 1
The WEEKLY TROPIC will be an independent, butearnestand
unflinching advocate of Whig pnnc.ple, and wdl disseminate early
mid correct informafon upon all political topic. Its Commercial

We re-pectfully recommend it to the Whiijs of Louisiana, and of

The Life Pill is a cathartic medirine, or the most gentle yet
