As the editor entirely failed of making
comparison, we will assist him.

mistake not, Honston did—ail he fought.
Washington died childless that- a nation

Washington is the name, of our national
capitol; and Sam tried hard to have tSe capi-
tal of Texas removod to Houston.
Washington hod an ardent love of cSuntry
Houston bad also an ardent f6Ve. Washington
has warned hte tkfuntrymen against local di-
visioh "Storth and South—Houston does' not
'warn about such divisions, l>ut votes with the
Northern division, and'afterwards says, "he

The Candidate for Mayor.
A meeting of the democrats of our city was
held at the Court House, in San Antonio, on
firiday night* last, for the purpose of nomina-
ting a .candidate for Mayor. The meeting.
wa$.( ually large, and the nomination fell
upon-^ Gallagher, of our cit3'—and he, not
being present, at tho'meeting was vouched
for by some of his friends, as being a good
democrat and one that would abide the test
required by the meeting, which was simply
ih it no person should be brought before the
leting as a candidstc unless he would

Mr. Gallagher comos out in a card in the or-
party in our city, and

for Mayor Of the'cky of San Antonio, I con-
days without water, when the horses being
nearly exhausted. Sergt. Gordon returned to
the Fort, having met with no success other
than the capture of an Indian pony. An old
Jlfexicaa ranehero Toma Ramon was severely
lanced by the Indians about six miles from
Laredo. On the 12th ins.t, Capt. Bracke'tt
sent Lieut. Werley Owens 2nd Cavalry with
fourteen men of Company I, on a scout, with
directions .to find if possible the whereabouts
of.t' e Iniia'ns. Nothing was discovered un-
til Lieut. Owtfns arrived at'UVirainla 'Ranch
at which fce learned that thelnditoshad kill-
eil three Mexicans and that the party were
Carizo Indians Knd Mexicans under direction
of Calirampia a Carizo and Sala^ar a Mexican.
Tbe Carizo Indians are a partly civilized trib
who reside at Carizo village on the banks ofi
the Rio Grande in Mexico dirccil^ Opposite
Redmonds Rancho, A portion . of the same
tribe iive near Meir. A Mexican who escaped
at the time the murders above mentioned
were committed recognized Calampi& who
is well known, and for some time $&st has
been living hcai Laredo. At Ld]ton a three
miles from Jlonia the"ssime party"6i murder-
ers kftl<Jd*a ll<?xi&ft #oinaa. and left another
badly wounded. Thejf'also killed eight hor
a knd" as: Many cattle on this trip, after
Which they made* .their way into Mexico
tfHere of course they arc safe.
Lieut. Owens captured a Carizo Indian
near Redmonds Ranch, but he haviiig proved
satisfactorily that he did hot belong to Ca
larampia's band, his lifo was spared and he
was liberated. There is not the slightest
doubt, but many of the murders said to be
committed on this frontier by Comanclies,
Lipans and other wild tribes are committed
by the Carizb's and Mexicans under Mexican
protection. Ohe of the horses belonging toMr
Grees was found by Lieut. Owens at a ranch
fellow 'Re^wnds, but he^was-so.bMly cut
up lis to be'uriableto travel.—GreaV credit is
doe to Capt Brackett and Lieht. Owens of
the Cavilry who are the only officers at Fort
Mcintosh, for their untiring efforts td protect
the frontier and give security ttfw'ell disposed
citizen3. As long as the Carizos are suufered
to fire in Mexico under Mexican prb&otion
so Tong will the frontier be kept in a cralfn&
ed" state of alarm, and with abundent reason
as .they arc notorions' robbers and murderers

Such is the caption of an article which ap- (
I eared in the Herald, of Tuesday, last. This j
article states, that'the office of major ought]

This comes with 6. \elry bad grace from
the paper which, since its inception, has ex-
erted itself to the utmost to thwi'rt 8 ld .op-
pose him in his. official career, and, by a
systematic misrepresentation of his words
and deeds,' fanned into life an Opposition
which otherwise never would have existed.
Can any of us forget the factious and de-
termined oppostion of The Herald. to the
patrol ordinance, ajad the mournful results
which-folio wed? And yet we have lived to
see tbe.sj-steui so much decried voluntarily
ao'dpted. It is useless to repeat instances,
we need tmly say'that, from first to last,

ceeding the last*o.his resigmttioii, Snd since*
that event up to the present time? The Her-
ald has On all occasions evinced, to Dr« De-

enmity. .*> ■• * s . . .. .
T-Even during the excitometit which lately
prevaiied, that paper coiild not let the mayor
alone, but must ask a question concerning
h?th, for which question it. subsequently
apologized, and eventually retracted the
apology. It would be, curious to analyzed
the controlling influences which actuated this
" independent press during the different
phases of "these operations. Does the Herald
still pretend to be ignorant why Dr. Devine
was not present, and what it would have
been the duty of " chief officers of the city "
to do. had he been "on hand " at the time
alluded to? Or does that paper require to
be informed! what wotyld have been the re-
sult, had tbe mayor b6en present, and at-
tempted to do his duty by enforcing the laws
of the State? . • ••

Houston's Esttmato of our Naturalized
Citizen.
The following is an extract from Houston's
speech iu the U. S Seneata January 3ist,
185?: . , v., ...
".I admit tlat we are all descended /rom
foreigners, becauso, originally, there were no
natives here who were white men Alany ol
tlipsc foreigners whO Originally came ,^ere
were baptised in the blobd of the RevohUion;
britthey were not sack men as are NOW
COMING TO OUR SHORES, and should
not be. named in'connection with those who
are SPEWED LOATHINGLY FROM THE"
PiaSONS OF ENGLAND, AND FROM
THE PAUPER HOUSES;OF EUROPE.
Such men are not to be compared to ojur an-
cestry, or to the immigration which until re-
cently, lias come to our shores from foreign
countries. If the object of those to whom
the Senator from Iowa has referred, be to
prevent men of infamous character arid pau-
pers from commmg here, I agree wit^ them.
[ would say establish a law requiring every
person from abroad, before being deceived
here, to bring an endorsement from one of
our consuls abrbad^and produce evidence of
good ch&rscter from the place from which he
edigrates, so that when' he comes her|, we
miiy receive him into fujl communionjvitfc all
tlift rights guarantied to him by t)ie laws
which may exist at "the time of his immigra-
tion. " . . . .
The sweeping stigma is thus, made_that
the foreigners now coming to our scores are
either spetred loathingly from the prison
houses of England or from tbe pauper honSe
of Europe4, and that they should bring certi-
ficates of gbod character from consuls who
perhaps n<;yer saw or new them before, and
who might have to get thei/ information
from the agents of the tnona'fchies Trom
.which the Imij^ants were £5'ing in'seareh of
freedom.—CTaiiUe. ._
