In the first place, I think it by no
means certain, that the people have
determined to re-elect all the present
incumbents. From the best informa-
tion I can get, I have no doubt that
Jucfge Webb will get a majority of the
votes, at the approaching election.—
The reason assigned why this should
not be, is a singular one to wit: "that
it would delay the decision of some of
the most important causes before the
Court." When it is recollected that

trees strike into it. their leaves indicate a
whitish appearance not favorable to the
health of the tree. But your committee
would recommend as a preventive the
placing of a large flat stone underneath
the place where trees of this nature are to
be set. These flag stones are abundant
in the vicinity of our town and can be

Next to the difficulty of fencing is
want of a diversity of employment.—j
Every man. whether Divine. Lawyer. Doc-
tor Merchant or Mechanic, is in partan
agriculturist, aud as none raise articles
for export, there are many sellers and few
buyers. This state of things may answer
while we have the army quartered amongst
us. but as it is uncertain when it may be
removed, it is not wise to be unprepared
for that event, particularly as order from
head quarters have made the soldiers agri-
culturists also. It would appear that wis-
dom would suggest a diversity of employ-
ment in a community so faithful of resour-
ces as ours. Than the San Antonio river
there is no better water power on earth,
ever^ mile from its source for
miles, four Mills or Factories mi,
located, with advantage to the mile. But
unfortunately the mistaken policy of the
government is iu part the cause of this
state of affairs.
Some years fostering domestic manufac-
tures. Then when a new batch of legisla-
tors come into power, the whole system is
changed. Free trade becomes the watch-
word of the party in power. The iron
smelter i!«e c«*:iI miner, the manufacturer

liatter are thrown out of employment-.
.-and instead of being consumers of stgri-
eultural ) roduet*.. art- driven by the policy
iof the country, to become themselves agri-
culturists and swell that already too nu-
merous class.
The school of politicians who inveigh
so strongly in favor of Free trade, stand
bound to acknowledge one of two proposi-
tions, either that their philanthropy is so
rists. thereby augmenting that already too '
numerous class. Call upon the merchant j
for money. The merchant calls upon the
planter and farmer. Wheu we may iui-'
agine we hear the followiug dialogue:
Merchant—Well Mr. Planter, I have
waited a long time on you for the amount
you owe me, and as I have a no e in bank
which will shortly be due, I must beg you
will pay me promptly what you owe ine.
Planter—Why Mr. Merchant, you know
that since the pressure money can't be
raised at all, you can have my c<#on at
six cents but as to mouey, I have it not,
a 'idjfnow not how to get it, except by uiy
cotftSky and when I bought most of those

and .n.ow it is worth only six, so I can't

^P^^rol^ptó'T) a judgment against uie
with apart of my cotton, and God knows
how I can raise t.he money, for it seems as
if there is none in the country. This j
is no fancy sketch, but has already twice j
happened and will shortly happen again
unless our government vill cease driving
the manufacturer into the ileitis to become !
agriculturists. Have we forgotten al- j
ready the scenes in the wt'.olo west only j
a few short years ago. Cow s v'hich cost
the farmer twenty dollars in Jndi.'ina, sell- j
tng under *the Sheriff's liaran.1 er for two ;
dollars, and every thing else s^'lli.'g in
proportion. Wheat the main product of
the west down to seventy cents, and po
market. Can we not see that all these j
things are the results of a system calcu.'a- !
ted to ruin our country and elevate Brii ¡
ain. Who amongst us that cannot see

luestic labor that it compells Europeans

We see it stated that an important
suit for a lible against the publisher of
the London Times has just been deci-
ded in the Court of Queen's Bench.—
The case was Florence vs. Lawson;
arid the lible complained of was inser-
ted in the Times of the 14th and 1.6th
December, 1850. The Times gave a
false report of a bankruptcy case, by
staging that the plaintiff cheated his
partner, a Mr. Davis, out of £7,000
capital invested by Davis in the firm.

There is no room to doubt the truth
of the above statement, remarakable
as it is. We are informed that the in-

endorsed ; that he requested a short

again solicited, and obtained delay ;

for the first time pronounced the en-

says that the President has approved

tently led into an error by publishing
documents which had been furnished
to their reporters:, but wi.uch were not
used iu court. Mr. Humt. ey s^iid, it
was a simple mistake, and ti'je pro-
prietors of the Times were to hoi':I
the plaintiff free from all expenses iu
the present action—to entirely wilh-
dray all possible imputation that had
been cast upon the character of Flor-
ence, and to express the deepest re-
gret that anything injurious to the
plaintiff should have been promulga-
ted. Lord Campbell reviewed th¿j
facts in this case, and remarked tha>
by law the publication of judicial pro-
ceedings was permitted so long as the
reports were fjiily made. It was not
necessary to include all the evidence
and all the speeches, but it must,
nevertheless, be a fair report. If it
were so altered or a bridged that it
deceived persons who read it, then it
was a libel: Lord Campbell then
paid a high compliment to the Times
for the fair and able manner in which
its reports were generally published.

T conceive it equally im-
portant to restrain the States from infring-
ing ou grou nds set off by the Constitution
to Congress. The adjustment measures
of the late Congress are in point, and where
the patriotism of the country had to be
involved, in order to bring back to the
Government, powers which had been arro-
gated by States, under the clamor of State
rights.
Our General and our State Governments
are all one indivisible system; and the two
parts are equally valuable. The public
safety consists alone in a constant vigi-
lance. on the part of each one of us. If
any thing goes wrong, thefault is no where
hut in ourselves It is we the People and
we the State who are to blame; and it be-
comes our duty to apply a sensible reme-
dy, and to guard against a recurrence ot
the eviJ-
This is creed : that our safety can
only be assured by an enlightened wáteh-
fulness. And in order to the due exercise
of that enlightened circumspection which
is required to save our liberties, the Tex-
ian must not be only a Texian, b;it must
lift himself up into the light of that other
great truth, that he is an American,—a
part and parcel of the sovereignty of the
United States. He must not grope in the
dark corner of a sectional bigotry. To
fulfil his destiny, he ought to feel that it
is his duty to strive for greater knowledge
and virtue. He will seareh his
om, and cast out silly pre
ugly prejudice; and
their places—charity for those
erated from him by distance
lines.

be readied, and raised to his right position
in the State.
With ordinary forecast, our Strte must
rise to a very enviable position. But 1

dustry, will not procure
rise. Besides a boi

means to pay off our
debt. The plan here
certaining the value OlfOitte
issues, according to theanioa
passed for (for instance! fixin_
at fifty cents, where the Governniertt' paid
two dollars in her bills for one dollar that
she owed ) has not only been approved by the
country and the world, bat ah .# oy a large
majority of the creditors. Three fourths
of the whole debt has already been sub-
mitted to the Auditors, they have already
scaled it, and issued the equivalent stock.
The State of Texas is constantly mindful
of the obligations she is under tothecrcdi
tors, for their help to the Republic, in her
time of need. This is the first time she
has been ablo to offer payment, and she
now offers it, with interest, on the only
basis that is praticable ; and there i$ no
doubt, th i creditors will willingly take it.
notwithstanding the hollow pretentions of
those who advocated the payment of the
face figures, (which would be as inequita-
ble. as it is, at this time, impracticable.)
After paying our debts, and resolv-
ing to keep clear of debtfor the future,
we ought in my opinion, to apply the
interest of the two millions left, to ed-
ucation. After providing with all lib-
erality for spreading knowledge among
the sons and daughters of the State,
much may be done by prudent man-
agement, in the way of increasing the
facilities of travel and the freight of
commodifies. These I regard as only
next in importance after primary
schools. By increasing commerce
and travel, the most wholesome im-
pulse will be given to individual enter-
prize and the desire for knowledge.—
