PROSPECTUS- OF "THE TEXAS TIMES." I
THE proprietor proposes to publish in the City of Galveston, a
weekly paper, under the title of "The Texas Tunes." It will be
a continuation of the "San Luis Advocate," until eleven numbers
shall have been published which will complete the present volume
of that paper. These numbers will be forwarded to subscribers;
and additional copies sent to such persons in Texas and the United
States as are supposed to be desirous of patronising sch a Journal
o it a Krincwl tlio TtMpe jmll nrnip In ln.
All who are not disposed to subscribe, after becoming acquainted
with the management and character of the paper, will make known
their resolve, Ly returning the first number of the second volume
ihrmmh iIir Pnst Office. Thev will not be charged with the first
'eleven numbers. All who do not signify their dissent, by this means
or some other equally convenient, will be enrolled as regular sud-
senbers. . .
The establishment has been removed from San Luis, mainly on
account of facilities here afforded foi communicating regularly with
every section of the Republic, as well as foreign Nations ; and with
the hope of desen ing and obtaining, a share of the business patron-
age of this commercial emporium ol Tti.as.
Subscribers to the "San Luis Advocate" hae had opportunities of
judging the mechanical skill used in the publication ot the paper.
An assurance is given to all, that the best materials only will I be us-
ed, and unwearied attention given to avoid typographical and other
errors. ...
1 he (ditonal department will be under the control ot tne proprie-
tor nnrl nn pflnrt shnll hn wnnterf on hisnart. to render the columns
of the Times useful and interesting to every class of readers. The
aid of experienced and talented correspondents, in diuereni sections
of the country, Uas been secured, and readers may leiy on ucmg bci-
ved with many rich treais, illustrating the habits, manners, topog-
raphy, mineral wealth, agricultural and al! other resources of the
country, calculated to niaRe known ami advance us uueicau.
No sectional prejudices sh.dl be enterta ned, but the position ta.-
ken, that particular portions of the country are peculiarly adapted to
tim nmnmtmn nf rnsnniirfinir interests : and that the wealth and
prosperity attendant on such congeniality of pursuits, dictated by
natural advantages, wdl advance liie general happiness and welfare
of all.
The Times is intended to be a National paper, and no opportunity
will be lost to collect and preserve from oblivion, every interesting
fact relating to the history and early settlement of the country the
difficulties, trials, hardships and dangers, encountered and conquer-
ed by the "Old Three Hundred" under the gnat and good Autm,
untd Texas took rank among the nations of ihe earth. Every inci-
dent wonhy of note, in, the present mti resting crisis, wdl be furnish-
ed by able writers belonging to the Army and Navy, and faithfully
chronicled m the Times. .... c
A portion of each number will be devoted to the publication of a
carefully compiled humniary ol iorugn news, and to ouch matters as
may be deemed interesting, snenceor general information. In ihete
departments, a preference will be given to original composition,
when conceived to be of such a character as to elevate our Nauonal
liieraiure in the estimation of the world. .
Tmely arrangements wdl be made to insure a correct and inde-
pendent histury of the proceedings of Congress, when in session.
In pohucs, the Tunes will be independent, and praise or censure
those who are in power, or those w ho may aspire to it, just as the
principles they advocateare calculated to result mgoodorevil to the
country. 'Animadversions will be made on measures, and not upon
men; the columns of thepoper shall nevr be polluted with matters
affecting the vices, or private characters of individuals, however high
their station may be. War will be waged against vice, but not the
vicious. .
A reform in the present constitution w II be zealously advocated :
it is radically defective unsuitid to the times and the country; it
was framed in haste, and without that deliberation wh-ch should be-
long to a charter upon which the rights and liberties of a peo; le are
founded. Its dele'cts will be pointed out from time to time, and the
collisions that daily arise between the different departments of the
government ; which as a consequence, introduces anarchy and
confusion, render the administration of public justice, and the nghis
of persons and property, insecure.
Arguments and examples wdl be introduced, to prove that Texas
can never prosper as a nation, until the contests ar.singlromdisputes
and uncertainty about land titles, shall be adjusted. Such measures
will be supported, as are best calculated to cause a speedy and just
settlement of this vexed question.
A zealous support will be given, to all measures tending to sustain
and preserve national faith and national honor. The governinc
principle in a Republican government should be, to "do justice to all
and exact it from all." .
The most teasible and effective policy which presents itself, will be
advocated for protecting the frontierlrom savage incursion that the
various resources of that healthy and beautiful portion of the Repub
lie, may be realised and enjoyed.
Untiring suppori will be given to every measure believed to be ne
cessary to bring to a close the war we are 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 prosperity, incident to a sound cur-
rency, credit, and successful commerce.

of the people to establish and maintain a high tone of moral feeling
in thecominunity; from the laudable observance of the Lord's day,
and regular attendance of the citizens on Divine Service, which is
now held uninterruptedly on every Sunday; and from there being a
regular Sunday Scnool in town, this cannot but be a very desirable
place for an institution for the education of the joung.
Mr. Ives isa graduate of one of the first colleges in the United
States; and Mrs.Ives was educated in the best schools for young
ladies iu New England; besidis which they have both for many
years past been engaged either as Principal&or Assistants In the first
literary institunons in the United States. For their qualifications,
success and reputation in teaching, they leave the following testimo-
nials to speak.
TESTIMONIALS.
"I have been lr?g acquainted with the Rev. Mr. Ives, and Know
him to be an excellent classical and English scholar. Mrs.Ives
taughta female seminary for seveial years, in the city of Hartford
Connecticut, with distinguished reputation. I have full confidence
in the qualifications of Mr and Mrs Ives to conduct a seminary of
the highest order, in such a manner as to afford general satisfaction
T. C. BROWNELL, D.D. L L.D.
Bishop of the lHoceseoJ Connecticut."
"I have been acquainted with the Rev. Calebs. Ives for many
years past, and during the last two years have been associated with
him as an officer of this institution. I have found him excellently
fitted in all respects to be an instructor of youih. His industry, de-
cision, anil patient good t rrper qualify hint in a high degree as a
governor o the young, w hile his accurate scholarship and untiring
zeal render him equally successful as a teacher. In committing their
children to the instruction olMr. Ives, parents may feel the most
nssurance that they are placing them under the care of one, who is
perfectly competent to all he undertakes, and who will look with the
most scrupulous care to the fulfilment of every trust committed to

TSIE TROPIC WE EKIK".
rpHE gratifying success which has attended the daiiy publication
J oi the TROPIC, has induced the publishers to offer a weekly
edition, at such a price as will place it within the reach of every citi-
zen of the State. The first number will beissued Sunday morning,
November 13th. ,..,.,,. ,
Thegreatimportanceof the approaching Presidential Election, de-
mands of the vVhigs the most zealous and untiring efforts, in order
to perfect 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 opponent by from three to
bur thousand, nearly as large a majority, compared with the aggre--ate
vote, as is given by the best Whig States m the Union. In
1840, Massachusetts gave a Whig majority of over twenty thousand
rotes The majority given by Louisiana, as compared with the
lumber of votes cast, exceeded that o'f the Bay State about one-fifth.
So that at that election, Louisiana assumed the proud position of the
tliird Whig State in the Republic; second only to Kentucky and
7ennont- This gratifying result was attributable only to theunpar-
alleld exertions of the Whigs, to the complete harmony which
eimed throughont their ranks, and their powerful rally in defence of
heir principles. Will the Whigs of Louisiana do less in 1344 for
lIarry of the West, their favorite leader, than they did in 1840 for
he lamented General Harrison?
The WEEKLY TROPIC will bean independent, butearnestand
nflinching advocate of Whig principles, and will disseminate early
id correct information upon all political topics. Its Commercial
epartment will bs inferior to that of no paper published in the
Jotith. Inns News Department it wdl not hem the rear of any of
s contemporaries. . .
We respectfully recommend it to the Whis ot Louisiana, and of
i'ie neighboring States, Alabama and Mississippi, as a cheap and
ife mwlium for the circulation of sound and healty political lntelli-
Thc WEEKLY TROPIC will be furnished to subscribers at the
ite of Tliree Dollars per annum. For clubs of ten or more, at the
ame Post Office, the price will be two dollars and a half, payable,
iu all cases, iu advance. G. W. BRADBURY,

THESE invaluable medicines can be found wholesale and
Teiail at the store of E. S. Perkins, at the city of HouMon,
and at retail at must of the principal towns of the .Republic of
Texas.
The Life Pill is a cathartic medicine, of the most gentle yet
searching properties, having the efficiency in general of calo
mel, witnout tne injurious tendencies ol tnat mineral; it reno-
vates and strengthens the system, even while under its active
operation, nnd almost invariably cures agues and fevers, and
the many distressing complaints arising from a diseased liver.
The Phenix Bitters isa compound ol the most valuable vege-
table tonics known in medicine. Its influence in renovating an
exhausted and prostrated constitution is truly wonderful. Testi-
monies of the most varied character, and of the highest credit
can be readily furnished of their salutary influence on the debi-
lidated human frame.
In southern climates where great lassitude usually follows
every species ot sickness, the Phenir tiitters are highly recom-
mended, and thousands can testify to their renovating and life-
giving character.
teii in connection with the Life Pills, they offer to fami-
lies land invalids the most potent qnd useful medicines known to
the bnblic for the cure of agues and fevers "and complaints of
te liver generally. WM. W. ALLEN,
