Election for Officers of the State Govern-
ment. The returns that have been received from a
large number of the most populous counties of Texas
""'"'- "" T Jht thn' thn npw Constitution has
been adopted by an immense majority ol the people 01
the whole Republic. We are inclined to believe that
there never his been a Constitution of a new State
in the American Confederacy adopted with as much
unanimity as the new Constitution of Texas. The next
step to be taktn by the people of Texas is the election of
the officers of the S'ate Government according to the pro
visions of the new Constitution. A Governor Lieutenant
Governor and members of the Slate Legislature are to be
elected on the third Monday in December next. We
ff Jiave hitherto neglected to refer to this election.: for
Jalthouo-b we entertained little doubt that the Constitution
-Svonld be adopted still while there remained any uncer-
tainly upon the subject we preferred to remain silent. We
wish always to tread uporufirm ground and not by unnec--essaryprecipitation
to be compelled to retrace our steps.
jTbe path is now open. The question arises who are suit-
able candidates for the high offices of Governor and Lieut.
6lprernor? Perhaps at this juncture some of our old
friends with whom wcuhave heretofore battled will
stepiirnnd urge us lojHfibe Western candidates .
TheEast say theyPPJMKjaled to itself the Lion's

men'who are true to its interests. We have indeed hither-
to labored incessantly to sustain the West because we
regafdedltjaslhe main bulwark of the Republic; and we
knew thatgif this bulwark were to be'pressed down; the best
interests of the Republic would suffer immeaauTeable in
jury rainotism duty therefore required us to advocate
and sustain that policy that tended to advance the interests
of thefWest. If our friends in thp West imagine that in
doingMhis we were actuated by sectional prejudices' or
personal predilectioEs they are mistaken; we were but
-acting in accordance with a rule of conduct that we trust
will ever be our guide; we labored for the country and
the whole country we supported measures and not mcji
ymsnteTiril hncp thaLtended
to advance not the interests of the West as a section buta6
the vital point of the whole Republic. Jn sustaining these
ir-3r?caurcsjge were a times thrownwith the administration
.-ind at times against it as its policy was favorable or ad-
versoto these measures. And although wc pressed on our
coursewith unchanging perseverance pursuing measures
und not men: because the men changed who should have
sustained these measures and we were ihus thrown in
opposition lo them although we had previously been with
ihem (or father they bad been with us) we have been sub-
jectedj toftthe charge of inconsistency. Nay base and

-f ny word or letter emanating'trom our pen that can even
pe tortured into evidence that we have deviated from the
tneasures that we advocated from (he first moment that
we assumed tbe chargp of this Journal. We have labor-
ed for our countiy and our whole country and we hax'e
been opposed lo vice and vicious mm. In the new politi-
rjl arxna that is opening before us we shall act as we
have acted hcrelofore. We shall neither turn lo the right
nor to the left to advance any sectional interest or lo aid
any cabal. We shall sustain those men who sustain hon-
estly and cordially the measures that will lend to promote
the interests of the whole country. We are already ap-
prised that in doing this we shall be compelled to sustain
men who have at times been opposed to uSj and have been
Tanked among our personal enemies We care not
We trust that we shall never swerve from the duty we
owe lo our country to gratify personal malice or to re-
venge personal wrongs. Indeed revenge is unworthy to
be harbored in the bosom of an honorable man. He who
yields lo its fiendish dictates is ever a stranger to true
happiriess and is degraded to the grovelling Jevel of tbe
savage. The political parties of Texas have been too
much influenced by this degrading passion ; and personal
Xanimositiesjiave too often paralized the best efforts of our
public men. We hope for belter things in future. The
season is propitious to establish harmony and concord in
our political circles. We have noticed with pleasure the
seeming apathy and Indifference that is manifested in all
f sections of the country relative to the nominations of
t Governor and Lieutenant Governor. It is well known
' that only two gentlemen have been publicly nominated
- for these offices viz: Gen'l J. P. Henderson and Col. A.
i C. Horton. They are both honest men and true patriot?
Tand we consider the .apathy and apparent indifferen :e
which has hitherto been manifested respecting their claims
is the sure evidrncethat the people dejire to harmonize

LOUIS PHILIPPE vs. MEXICO.
The United States Gazette mentions that a French
gentleman named Da Mofras residing in Mexico has
published a work recommending that Mexico shall be
converted into a raonirehy and subjected lo ihe away of
a French Catholic prince. This work it appears has
been published with the connivance of Louis Philippe
and his Cabinet: and there are strong reasons for the be-
lief that the French government will endeavor to effect
thisobject Many intelligent Frenchmen are residing in
nearly every department of Mexico and they doubtless
having discovered the weakness of Mexico have ac
quaintfd their government thit an expenditure of half ihe
blood and treasure thatshe has lavished in Algiers wouhJ
easily subject Mexico lo her dominion. The Mexicans
are as imbecile and as unwarlike as the Hindoos and
could be subjected to European sway as easily as thp
Hindoos have been It is said that forty thousinii Euro-
peans hold 90 million of Hindoos in subji-ction ; and as
Mexico contains only seven millions of people half the
one-tenth of the French armyj now in Algiers could rea
dily subjugate ail Mexico. The capture of Vera Cruz
by the French squadron under Admiral Baudin opened
the eyes of the French to the true weakness of Mexico
That fortress was captured with probably aa much ease
as any fortress ever defended by Hindoos: and it is not
improbable that the French government finding that the
" r"Hpn so easily under the
"French amis became ambitious to conquer Mexico as
England had conquered Hindoostan. Certain it is that
ever since the capture of that fortress the French citizens
in Mexico and the French Minister have been almost
constantly finding new causes of complaint against the
Mexican government. The project of Saligny through
his Franco-Texienne bill to introduce 10.000 French
soldiers iulo Texas on the frontier of Mexico was un-
doubledly made through the advisement of Louis Phi-
lippe and may have been intended as the preparatory step
lo the conquest of Mexico. The Franco Texienne com
pany was probably intended like the East India compa-
-ny to wield the power of a European sovereign to conquer
states and territories" without subjecting the government
that secretly abetted it to assume the responsibility of its ac-
tions. The anxiety of Louis Philippe to prevent the an-
nexation of Texas to the United States is also accounted
for upon the supposition that he designed through the in-
strumentality of To.xuso establish a European sovereign-
ty in North "America. We 'have learned from high au
thoTify that such was his desire to defeat annexation that
ho called a Texian gentleman whom he believed -had
great influence in Texas into his" private cabinet and
"patting him familiarly on the knee" urged him
by all means to exert his utmost energies lo pre-
vent annexation. "If Texas wants ships" said he "France
will furnish them : if she wants soldiers for her defence
France will send them to her aid. She shall suffer no
injury from foreign enemies if she will reject annexation."
About the same time that tho King of tbe French was
closelted with this gentleman M. de Saligny was endeav-
oring to move heaven and earth here to prevent the con-
summation of this measure. It will be recollected also
that the celebrated French Minister M Guizot whe"ri he
was compelled by sickness to retire a short time from the
Cabinet and from Parismadeaspeci.il request that nothing
should be done with the Texasquuauuu umil lm icturned
to assume the duties of his office. These facts all indicate
that Louis Philippe had laid a deep scheme to establish a"
European influence here. Whether. he intendid uhi
mately to have snbjugated Mexico and in connection with
Tahiti and his Asiatic and African possessions to have ex
tenJed the dominions of France around ihe globp paral-
lel with those of England future disclosures may possibly
determine.

The Next United States Congress. The New
York J.-urnal of Commerce which is considered as ex-
cellent authority resp cling political statistics estimates
that the next Congress of the United States which is to
meet at Washington on the first Monday in December
next will be constituted as follows: The Senate will be
composed of twenty-four Whigs and thirty Democrats.
The Democratic majority in ihe Senate according to this
estimate will be six: The House of Representatives will
be composed of one hundred and thirty eight Democrats
seventy-eight Whigs and two Natives and there will
protably be two vacancies. The Democratic majority
ovpr the Whigs will be sixty and fifty-four over Whigs
and Natives combined. Should theDemocratic party act
with the same unanimity upon our Constftuiion that uas
exhibited at the passage of ihe Annexation resolutions it
is quite probable that the Constitution of thevState of Texas
will be adopted and in full operation by the first of Janu-
ary next. .
An Indian State Sompof the papers of the Union
are discussing the propriety of forming a new Slate bor-
dering upon Aikansas to be sealed by Indians who are
to be admitted into the Union and allowed all the privi-
leges of American 'citizens. Such a project may do very
well for the NaliV American party for it is eriSy to per
ceive that the whole population of this State would be com-
posed of Native Americans in the strictest sense of the
term. We shrewdly suspect that those who have origin-
ated this project have a covert design to establish new
States to be settled wholly by blacks as soon as the Indian
Stale is admitted into the Union. -
The Hon A. C. Horton arrived in town on Monday
evening.
Another gang of counterfeiters has been broken up in
Hocking Co Ohio. Thry had become hardened in the vil-
lainy and bold. One of them named Matheny. attacked Mr-
Ntlon a respectable citi2en of Logan the county seat
but was bealcn by Nelson This produced an excitement-
a town merting was held and the whole gang was notified
to quit the county. Several buildings belonging to per-
sons suspected to be connected with tbe gang were de-
stroyed by tbe enraged populace.
Mr Kaufman our Charge d' Affaires to ihe United
States finding that he would not be recognized in his
official capacity by President Polk has gone to Pennsyl-
vania his native Stale probably on a visit to his relatives.
We learn that Mr. Buchanan the American Secretary of
State and Maj. Donelson both endeavored to persuades
President Polk to receive Mr. Kaufman as Charge d' Af-
faires of Texas but in vain. Some of the editors of the
Democratic papers express apprehensions that the refusal
of their President to receive Mr. Kaufman in his official
capacity may irrritatate the people of Texas and have an
injurious effect upon annexation. These apprehensions
are all founded in error. The neople of Texas are entire-
ly indifferent upon this subject and care as little whether
"Mr. Kaufman is recognized as Charge as they care
whether Mr. Burnley or Ahby Folsom is nominated by
the Abolitionists for the Presidency.
We have seen a letter written by a gentleman in Wash-
ington City in which the writer stales that the United
States Government has already expended nparly a million
of dollars for the Army in Texas and tbe Navy in the
Gulf; and before the close of this yrar it will have ex-
pended more than a million of dollafsfortlie defence-of
Texas. A small portion of thismoney.unly has been
expended in Texas; but it is believed that arleaal 8200000
has been expended in this country and our citizens on the
frontier have thus been favored with that great dcsidcral
illli Ul J1U-
a home market for all their
surplus produce
They have thus already denvefl more
I real benefit from Annexation than they have derived from
all European commerce during the last three years.
Private letters have lately been received from Germa-
ny containing tho intelligence that the companies in that
country that had been forrngd to colonizeporlions of Tex-
fau have failed and in consf qurnce many families will be
prevented from emigrating to this country. The state-
ments ofone or two distinguished German travellers who
visited Texas-aboul two years since have doubtless tend
ed to discourage many of the members of the colonization
associations as these statements were exceedingly unfa
vorable. These travellers have represented the climate
of Texas to be almost as bileful to the health of Germin
emigrants as the climate of Guinea. Unfortunately there
are a few facts to corroborate their statements; as it will
be recollected thailwo or three companies of German
emigrants arrived Jh Texas in midsummer and as they
immediately commenced laboring fn the sune manner
that they had been accustomed to labor in their native
country and had few of the comforts and even necessaries
of life many of thenVas was'to be expected fell victims
to the acclimaiive fever. One company of about thirty
emigrants stopped at1 Galvi-ston during the summer of
1844 when the yellow fever prevailed and all died but
two or three. These facts have been distorted and com-
mented upon with horrorjby letter writers and of course.
they have tendtd to check emigration from Germany.
It is worthy of remark that the German fimilies that have
settled on the Guadalupeiand in the western parts ofT.ex-
as have enjoyed excellent health ; and iho emigrants
who arrived'in the same ship with those who fell victims
v? &'
at Galveston but who removed into the interior continued
healthy. We hope that the many intelligent Germans
who haveby.a long residence in Texas become acquaint-
ed wilh thohistoryof tbe several companiesfthat have
settled here will communicate such facts to" their friends
in thtir native land as will tend to dispel the erroneous
impressionsUhat have been created by those prejudiced

Scarcity of Corn in Georgia and South Caro
lina. At the last accounts corn was selling at Colum-
bus Ga. at SI 00 a bushel and sweet potatoes at 1 25.
Thescarcity of corn is said to be driving hundrtds"of per
sons from Georgia and North Carolina. Five wagons
with emigrants passed through Tallahasse towards the
west a few weeks since.
Law Politics and Religion. At the late term of tbe
District Court in Fayette comity Judge Baylor presiding
the Grand Jurors presented Judge Baylor not as.a nui-
sance which might have been within the sphere of their
prerogatives ; but as a suitable candidatejorthe office of
Representative to the U. S. Congress 1 Unfortunately
for these Jurors the decision of the Judge is against them
He is as is well known a minister of the gospel: and
while he was in the Convention he declared in one of
his speeches that no minister of the Gospel should ever
be:omea candidate for a public office; and he shoulds al-
ways vote to exclude such ministers from the legislative
halls. It is a singular fact that "he clause in the Consti-
tution which declares that "no niinisler of the aospel or
priest of any denomiuatioo whatever shall be eligible to
the Legislature" was adopted by a majority of only one
vote and that vole was Judge Baylor's! Now we differ
in opinion wilh the Judge ; and agree wilh the Grand
Jurors that the people oughtto be free to choose just whom
they please for the office of Representative or any other
office. Judge Baylor however thinks otherwise and
preaches and votes against this doctrine. If his practice
conforms to his preaching he cannot become a candidate
Jo r the office of U S- Representative. L
Slavks and Cattle in Brazoria and Matagor-
da counties It appears from the returns of the Asses
sors of Brazoria and Matagorda counties as published in
the Planter and Do-snatch that the number of slaves in
Brijzoria county over ten years of age is 1390; under
ten years G75. The number of horned cattle is 24 000.
The numbor of slaves in Matagorda county over ten years

further sum as shall be ascertained to be justly due upon
the unadjudicr.ted cases; and upon the refusal or further

The Commander or the

editor of the La Grange Inteliigenccr has copied an ar-

commander of that expedition as.is well known inTexasj
was Col. Win. S. Fisher. Gen. Green we belipve was

Ruins on the Leona. Col. Snively has discovered
three large stone houses near the sources of the Leona in
Milam county about sixty-five miles north west of Bry-
ant's Fort on Ltllle River. They arc situated in a beau
tiful and fertile valley which opens between the rugged
and bleak hills that lie towards the mouth of the Leona
and connects the undulating region of-the Little River
with'the undulating region that surrounds the sources of
the L2ona. These houses are similar to those in Bexar
and like them are built in the'Moorish style of architect-
ure with fl it roofs Their walls are still in a goud state
of preservation although they appear lo have stood for
more than a century. They are placed in ihe form of a
triangle a house being at eaeh of its extremities. When
discovered there were arrows or pointers on the roof of
each house. Col. Snively noted iho direction of these
pointers and found tiacesof an old forge at the point where
lines txtending from the pointers would meet. We
find no notice of these buildings- on any of the old maps
of Texas but it is evident from their resemblance to the
old Spanish buildings at Bexar and Goliad that they
were erected by Spaniards; and it is quite probable that
they formed a part of the chain of "Missions" that extend-
ed from the Rio Grande to Nacogdoches. Future ex-
plorations will probablydisclosemany other buildinsofa
similar description in the interior of Texas and far above
the presi'nt line of settlement We regret tl.at the re-
cords of these old m'ssions cannot be found in Texas
Then- were many valuable papers preserved in the ar-
chives of the city of Bexar which contained the history
of several of ihe early settlements formed by the Spaniards
in Texas; but they were nearly all destroyed during ihe
war. The soldiers were accustomed to use them as waste
paper; and the Mexicans used .them to form cigarritos
Scarcely any remain worth preserving. We have re-
cently learned that the records of Goliad part of the re-
cords of Bexar those of San Saba the mission of the Al-
tar on the Nueces and several others of the ancient mis-
sions of Texas were all copied and preserved in thecily
of Chihuahua which was regarded ns the central point
of the missionary stations of Texas and the northern pio-
vinces of Mexico or Provincids Intern.is. Our govern-
ment should endeavor to procure copies of these records
from Chihuahua at as early a period as practicable as
they doubtless contain much valuable information respect-
ing the early history of Texas They may prove valu-
able aJso in establishing the claim of France to ihis coun-
try and through France the claim of the United States to
Texas as a part of Louisiana. This however we con-
sider a matter of little importance as wc regard the law
defining the boundaries of the Republic of Texas as the
only true basis upon which the government of the Unitrd
States can farm a future treaty of boundaries with Mex-
