One of the earliest measures of -Sam Houston will long

But who assisted in till? unhallowed and diabolicalvork

self figure largely In this vast scheme of speculation that
embraced every inch of our territory ? We say he did
and we challenge his friends to deny it. In that great and

patriotism and specuialion between a aoble sacrifice of

Anson Jones was conspicuous and indefatigable in his ex-

people of the East support this man for our ne-;t Prtsi-

they have no confidence? We have uniformly supported
the nomination of the East for Vice President We have
yielded our own preference in the second office of the
country for the purpose of meeting our friends in tne East

openlyeclared that they had received such assurances
from persons high in authority ihal they dQbled not that
this project would be carried-mtg effect. One of the lead-
ers of this party vtsifed Washington counlyijast sumrrfer
and remained for several vyeeksjn the vicinity of Wash-
inglon.vjImmediately after his return from that county he
pioceedcd-to Galvpston and there foi the first time en-
deavored openly to enlist proselytes in the-cause of 'eman-
cipation." The Result is well known; this man has left
the Republic and the affair has been in a manner hushed
up But'are we. to believe tHataJl those'who acted with
this mnn have changed theiropinions? Ifby any casual-
ty a favorable opportunity should be offered to ensure the
success of this project are we to believe that there are net
many men amongst us who would cordially second any
well devised and feasible scheme to overturn our servile
institutions? Let our citizens look to this subject in the
approaching election and be well on their guard" lest in
an evil hour thoy elevate Abolitioni5' into some of 'tho
most? responsible offices of the'Repul.ii. The characters
of the candidates for public offices should be searched with
trfe most n'gid scrutiny; and the most positive evidences
should be furnished that ihcse'whonre lo be entrusted in
a manner with the destinies of the Republic sliould be free
from the least taint of Abolitionism. Thev should be not
only free from the charges but also above the suspicion
of favoring ihis incendiary doctrine. Fortunatply for the
country one of the candidates for the office of President is
entirely above any suspicion in this respect General
BurFeson is a native Southerner and it is well known that
from his infancy he has been true as steel to the institu-
tions of the South. His history is well known Irom the
period of his birth in his native Stale of North Carolina
until the present moment and his most bitter enemies must
admit that he has never for a mement been charged with
any heresy of this kind. He is now and ever has been
undeviating in integrity and his character is far above re-
proach or calumny. If ho should be elevated to the high
office of Chief Magistrate none need fear that he will be
found wanting in the hour of trial and danger. Our
political institutions will certainly be safe in his keeping.
Let us not then exchange certainty for uncertainty and
endang'er the most important institutions of our counln
by placing them under the control of a man whose princi
pies arc nd well known and whose character is in a gres
measure yet undeveloped. There may bo some whoh

Dr. Jones' organ has long beeirspeaking in disparaging
terms of the government of the United States. Some two
or three months ago that government was called "unwiel-
dy;" "awkward" "cumbersome." The same journal has
unifornmily spoken of Anncation not only as improba-
ble but as impolitic. At first we did not kno'w that the
writer of these articles (Dr. Jones) was himself opposing
annexation. But the people of Texas mutt now icmcm-
bcr IhUt this-ii the true posilioivin which Br. Jones has
placed himself. HE HAS ALL ALONG BEEN
OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION. We do not know
how to divide the responsibility of our negotiations be-
tween Anson Jones andJ5.un Houston. In fact as the
friends ofthe former claim all the merit of those negotia
tions for the Doctor vvp feel entirely willing to allow him
the ftilL credit without attempting to detract anything
whatever from his eminent services in this way. At all
events he i3 pledged to carry out Sam Houston's policy
whatever it may be. In his published correspondence
with the British Minister the latter says "Re is well ad
vised oj the Presidents opinion on this subject and as
icqueslcd by Houston he has advised herffiajeslys Cov-
ernmekl of Houston's delcrminatio7iTQ DO ALL HE
COULD TO OPPOSE ANNEXATION." If the
inquiry be made why Dr. Jones s apposed lo&nnt xaiion:
the answer has been given over and over again in the
Vindicator because he does not consider that an alliance
with the United Slates can be ab nruch to our advantage
as one with England that the government of the former
is "unwieldy cumbersome and aickivard" that "by th&
checks throicn around it it is powerless as far as
piompt and immediate aclion'is concerned and has loo
many departments to counsel and loo many antagonist in-
terests lo conciliate before it would dare extend an of
ficial hand to raise us if we were down or Ip sustain us
- "
if we tocre falling. lNol so with Great Bi itatnnK
fleets and arms are every where her Ministers but de
cide to adopt a certain course the mandate is uttered lo
those whose duty it is to execute and ei e london knows
that the matter has been even considered the deed is con-
summated or a thousand hearts-are. busied in its comple-
tion.17 Such is the language of vth"is government abusing
the government of the U. S.. for its-imbtcility arising out of
reslrainsts upon power which fiiust always continue as
Idng as liberty shall endure and eulogizing the govern-
ment of England for her great power and immense re
sources her flettsand arms--the wisdom of her Minis
ters and the irresistible authorityof their mandates. How
flattering must this comparison be to the friends of mo-
narchical governments! 'The greatest Monarchy and
the greatest Republic of this or" any former age are
fully contrasted and the pafaj.ofimrneasarable su
periority is given to the former. We venture to
say that this language will astonish the world and
vill be uuoted with exultation by the Ministerial
journals of England and France. Monarchical prin-
ciples have never been so boldly vindicated on this conti-

the reason why the "British Minister was informed that
our government would do all in its power "TO "OP-
POSE ANNEXATION." The official organ of our
government speaking slill of England proceeds thus:
"Her officials have been and are slill amongsl us."

flattering to the cupidity of England. whose
trade .concentrated on herself must contribute to
I swell the wealth of her people tend to herjiational ag
grandizement and the extension of that mighty influence
which renders her powerful and formidable throughout
the world; - W hat a proud destiny awaits us! The
poor little"Republic of Texas is to have the envi-
able distinction of giving England a monopoi i her
trade and thereby '"contributing to swell the wealth - her
people" 1 Does Anson Jones believe the people of ihi
country so base and mean spirited as to feel a pride in 1.
ing to swell the wealth and overgrown power of Eng
land? Yet this is ihe ambition and tliis is tlie policy of
Anson Jones. Already has he declared "his opposition to
annexation ; and his preference for the monarchical insti-
tutions of Great Britain are now fearlessly proclaimed.
While our friends in the United States are making the
most active exertions with the most flattering prospects of
ultimate success forvthe restoration of this country to its
original place in tho confederacy of sovereign States;
Anson Jones is at the same time prosecuting negotiations
with England which will give her a monopoly of
our commerce and torever exclude us from the
Union.
Comparalively we regard the Presidential canvass as
of small consequence. While there Is a chance of our re
union to the parent country it canmake but little differ-
ence with any of us whither Burleson or Jonesshall be our
President during the short intervening period. Let us
not be misunderstood While "we are opposed to any
further continuance of our supplications at foi eign Courts
for assistance in our difficulties with Mexico we are
likewise opposed to petitioning- the United Siatts any
more to be received back again into the old family con-
nexion We believe it to be our true and safe policy to
avoid all intricate and entang- ling alliances While we
should avoid giving just ofivneo to all we should give
preferences or exclusive privileges to none.
Complimentary. The friends of Dr. Jones use as an
argument why he will rcciive a large majority of voles
in the East that the East have never turned out to fight
the battles of the country and never willand conse-
quently will not vote for a man who is likely to require
them to do their duty. In 1836 Sarn Houston said the
East would not turn out and that he would retreat to their
tail timber" and force them to fight Edward Burleson

ready to do theijdi?ty. He knows th ushorulder to shon!-

who in th distance can only write a long letter. Burle
son to the. rescue is now the cry of a portion of the people
it will ere long be the cry of a Nation in tlie; midst of-
battle and of carnage!
From the fojlo'wing extract of a letter com a very in-
telligent and highjy responsible gentleman of Washings
ton it would seem that in the canvass for the Presidency .
Doctor Ansod Jones conceives it good policy to play'for
all the pockets lo run vyn the Vest anil hold with the
East lo sweep the whole Houston party as.a full- out
Houston man p'ledged to stand by anchcarry out all the
prominent measuresof .ihe'presEntrExeautive; with the
whole pack office -holdeis seekers and all Tray -Blanche
and Sweel Heart in-full and sonoriouscry he is
bouncing from cover everygulfible Houston man from
one extreme of thc'countrv to the other upon the open
and positive assurance that hewiH follow in the footsteps
and stand-by the suggestions and policy of thepesent.fn-
cumbtnt nndatvthe same time ns very cutely asjhe
flatters himself still hunting with ihe opposition more
particularly with those of 4he West who are in favor of
a return of the Government to Austin.. "Novvoneof the
favorite measures of Gen. Houston if not the one in
which he takes the deepest interest and in the final success
of which his feelings are more deeply involved than ih
any other is this very question. "Upon the removal of
the Government lo this place contrary to the express re-
solve of Congress hecerlalnly hazarded his popularity
with ihe nation j more than this! he hazarded the success
of his admistration ;havingdo.ne soy is not theinference a
fair one that it was and is a favorite nieasureof Gen-. -Houston
? Is it not known to be? How then can -Anson
Jones hope to receive the support.of the ftiendsof the
present administration as a partyjnless it be' lhat he
banks largely upon their credulity ?.If however they
caifsv.allo w him with this rider as an out and out Houston
man they must certainly "have Casawarean stomachs.
Now really we think it but fair" that the Doctor should
advise themutual friends of the Hojis'on and Jdhes policy
in those counties where they claim for him 'such over-
whelming majorities that upon the Seat of Government
question he-cannot foot it step by step- with Gen. Houston:
The election being hard by and the Tnaiis rather irregu-
lar we would suggest tothoDoclor that he will not have
time to advise his far East friends of his4rue position in
relation to the Seat of Government but that he may ad-
vise those of Montgomery Washington Liberty Harris
and of several other adjoining counties. He is certainly
censurable for having so longneglected to advise his
friends of the East. Among those friends q.the admin-
istrat:onwho suppoit Doctor 'ft.nson Jones there must be
many who will be surprised at his position upon thisjues;
rtion as now defined it is nevertheless true; Dr. Anson
lones stands secretly committed and has resolved iFelect-
ed to take up the line of march for'Ausiih and yet impos-
es himself upon the party as approving all the prominent
measures of the present Executive. We are notsurprised
estimating properly the man. We at once see upon refer-
ence to the extract an influence that. will at alltiraes'and
under all circumstances control him. We see that he is-
a large owner of real estatevyith lots in the City of Aus-
tin which with a return of the Government would'bein-
creased in value a thousand per cent excite the Doctor's
cupidity and the"piblic wealis of small consideration--
Now we have no objection to the.EfoctoT's -entertaining
his own views in relation'to the prominent .measures of the
administration;. but we do protest against the game he is
playing upon the Seat of Government question. And it
may be for aught we know that the Doctor is playing the
same game in relation toother measures Of the administra-
tion equally important.- ir.
"Two gentlemen the other day conversing upon the
subject of the Presidential election one of them objgeted to
Jones because he was a blind follower of Houston the
other denied the charge as being well founded and stated
as a proof of. his position that Dr. Jones differed with
Houston tolo cozlo on one of his most favorite measures
viz : the removal of the Scat of.G over nment-from Austin
that Dr. Jones had recently written abetter to a friend
of his in the Cityof Houston stating his disapprobation of
Houston's course in that matter and that in the event of
his eleciton to the Pressidency he would feel bound to
return to Austin unless Congress should decide different-
ly."' That suclra lettr has been written by Dr. Jones we
challenge contradiction and that such are his true senti-
ments is fully corroborated by the fact that he is notori-
ously amongst the largest real estate owners and purchas-
ers of lots at the City of Austin. " The letter was read by
theWziS Achates of Dr Jones residing in Washington
county."
THE NAVY.
- The last Congress passed a law laying up the Navy
in ordinary and appropriated means for its repair. Near
pine months have passed over and nothing has-been done.
The vessels are sinking at their moorings at Galveston
and yet the friends of Gen ' Houston say there is thirty
thousand dollars in gold and silver in the Treasury.
What is the cause of this? Gen Houston is determined
there ''shall be no Navy. The r-clr of Galveston'would
not let him sell it. Congress would not let him do so
and now he isdetermined itshall sink. Mr. Dyer a most
worthy and efficient ship wright at great expense has
for sometime had in operation his ship yard and is ready
and willing to put them in repair on as cheap or cheaper
terms than can be done in New Orleans but no al-
though Sam Houston to cover appearances has apparent-
ly contracted for the repairs he has failed to advance tho
money necessary- He promises fair but his intention
is that if Burleson is elected he shall have no Navy and
if Jones is elected the policy is to have none. Poor Tex-
as we pity you.
Drought. A severe drought has prevailed through-
out Western Texas for nearly eight weeks. From the
vicinity of the Brazos West there will not be over half
cotton crops and in the upland regions even less. The
quantity of land in cultivation this season however much
exceeds any formeryear and in many instances the plan-
ter will have as much as he can gather. The staple tho'
short is of a very superior quality and owing to the dry-
ness of the season will be free from all foreign substances.
Mr. Wiley Hill near La Grange brought to lhat place
last week 5 bales of a very superior quality for which he
received the Silver Cup from the house of Ward & Co.
Mr. P. Hill arrived soon after with 5 bales but was a
little too late.
