MR. VAN BUREN'S VOTE.

awe regret, in common with the most
ardent friends of the Vice President, the
course he took with regard to Calhoun's
Incendiary Bill This bill gives to post
masters the power of examining the con-
tents of the United States Mails, and to
detain any paper which in their opinion
may he calculated to 'insigate the southern
slaves to rebellion Now who can calcu-
late the amount of mischief which may be
done by poslmasters, under the preteXt Of
fulfilling the injunctions of such law? In
our humble opinion, a more FATAL
STAB was never given since the organiza-
ton of the government"

language respecting his vote on this ques..
ton, what ought his enemies 10 think OF II?

EFFECTS OF VAN BUREN'S GAG
LAW

We learn from the Pennsylvania Demo
Graf published at Uniontown, Fayette co.
that the Mail Contractors, &c. have already
commenced the Gag Law system, voted
for 10y Mr. Van Buren,, against the Liberty
of the Press, and refused to deliver the
Democrat, on account, as they alIege, of its
inccndiary" character. This is one of
the first fruits OF the system in Pennsylva-
mia, and as the law was put down by the
votes of Senators in favor of slavery on ac-
count of its monstrous attempt TO subJugate
and restrain the Liberty of the Press, we
are left to believe that this high handed as
sumption of power by the Post Office De-
parnent in this instance comes from the
direct interference of Mr. Van Buren, him
self Let the friends of Liberty look to
the fact.
In our remarks upon this subject hereto
fore we have adverted to the consequences
that would follow upon the Antimasonlc
press This is now realized. The Demo-
crat, an old and Jealous fellow laborer in
the Antimasonic cause has already fallen
under its ban. Its circulation by the mail
agents of the Government is suppressed in
its own county. The hand OF authority
is fastened upon it, to crush it. The liber-
ties OF the people seized upon by those in
power in high places, and the freedom that
our fathers in the Revolution fought and
bled to secure is wrested from us and
tramped upon by the WILL if not order, OF
Martin Van Buren,, who asks our votes To
elevate him to the highest pinnacle OF
power. Read the following from Van
Buren, paper on this subject:

our own vine and fig tree, and there is
none to make us afraid" We have an
immense territory, extensive Lake coasts,
and numerous ports and harbors. The
theatre Of our navigating and commercial
operations is unbounded, surprising those
OF any other interior state. We are nearly
surrounded by rivers and lakes. Our

gon Of country. No state is more -four

Shall we any longer continue to violate the
solemn duty which we owe to ourselves,
and to posterity, of improving these inesti-
mable advantages; and that, too, in the flu
tile hope, that we may, by multiplying the

LATE FROM FRANCE.

The Havre packet ship POLAND, Capt.
ANTHONY, arrived yesterday morning,
bringing us Paris papers 10 the 18th uIt.
The accounts from Spain show that the
Carlist General Gomez, after having, ac-
cording to the Christine accounts, been
beaten by General Ajax at Villarobledo.
still pursued his march into Andalusia, Ajax
having halted four days, subsequent 10 the
action, whilst his opponent continued his
course. The Madrid papers speak with
confidence of the ability of the Queens
Generals and troops to prevent his further
progress, time will show how truly; mean
time, il is very certain that the Carlist forces
have spread themselves throughout the
whole peninsula, and no longer confine
themselves to the Basque provinces and
Navarro.
The differences between France and
Switzerland are still unsettled, and it Is sup
posed that should the different Cantons not
determine on conciliatory course, that
Great Britain will offer her mediation be-
tween the two Governments.
Ii appears that strong inclination is now
evinced b, the people of Norway to put an
end to their injunction with the kingdom OF
Sweden. Denmark was deprived of this
ancient appendage to her dominions at the
termination Of the general war, and it was
given to Sweden, as compensation for the
loss of Finland, taken by Russia.

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

By the arrival of the Schooner Pennsyl.
vania. yesterday, from Velasco, Texas, we
are in possession of dates from that country
to the 18th. So little dread of an enemy
prevails in the country at present, that the
inhabitants are quietly cultivating their
lands, and attending, it would seem, theatrical!
performances. Some Theatrical corps have
opened the temple and made debut at
Columbia, under favorable auspices. The
army remains stationary, and somewha.
impatient to be engaged in military duty, in
which, Notwithstanding threats of formidable
preparations on the part of their enemies,
we suspect that they will be disappointed /;
as time will disclose. We long time since
prophecied that not another hostile gun
would be fired in Texas, and as yet we
have lost no faith in our prophetic gift in
this particular.
The papers containing the proceedings
of their newly organized Congress, furnish
no matter of great public interest, the Nom.
bers as yet being engaged in regulating tho
minute Of matters of order and etiquette,
prior to entering upon their more serious
pNhoSi"tiobos N0uutu Aiild Stil III COU-
finement, which is rumored, to be not so
rigid as of late, there being on foot some
measures preparatory to his release
Should it be true, and he is to be liberated,
Texas should require some thing in the way
Of u ransom, to enable her to discharge
some of the heavy liabilities incurred by her
belligercnt operations.
The vacancy as Commander.in- Chief
occasioned by the election of Gen. Houston
to the Presidency, will be filed it is said by
one Of the three candidates, Gems. Thomas
Rusk, Green or Felix Houston.
From all that we can hear and read oil
the initiatory operations of the Texans in
their governmental concerns, we are in
duced to believe that they enter upon their
new and untried career, with as much oil
the requisite ability and honest sincerity oil
purpos', as any people ever did, g. with SUI
ficent to enable them to take their indepen.
dent stand among the sovereignties of the

DOCUMENI No. =.
AT meeting of the Democratic convention Of
the county of Wayne, composed of one hundred
aud twenty -four delegates, on the Goth of Oct,
1886, the following resolutions were unanimous.
ly agreed to: .u,
Reoofced, That however deeply tho people of
Michigan may regret tn, decision of congress in
relation to their southern boundary, they can en-.
terrain no rational hope that any change will be
m,dc on the sub, ct by that body; and that
policy, interc t, public credit, Il curity peace
an tranquility of the state unite with our sacred
obligations as American citizens, to induce a
prompt acquiesc nee in the laws of the United
States, and an immediate accession to the Union
as one of its sovereign States.
RESOLVED, That the constitution of Michigan
presents obstacle to our assent to the decision
Of congress with respect to our boundary, the
preamble to that instrument referring in general
terms alone to the ordinance and acts of con-
gress indicating the bounds Of the state, and
the forms prescribed for its alteration and amend
ment having reference not to the preamble, but
only to the provisions and principles contained in
the body ofthe constitution.
RESOLVED, That while we respect the honest
and conscientious opinions of those who differ
from us in the views taken Of this subject, we
d,precate and condemn that misguided spirit
which hls led the State to the verge of rebellion
or revolutions which has shaken the confidence
ofthe government and the nation in our integrity
and patriotism which has seriously affected the
interests and business of every part of society
which has deprived Michigan of immense resour-
COS in money and public lands, impaired her
character and credit abroad, aud plunged her
into helpless condition, from which the authors
of these alarming mischiefs present to US nc
scheme, no means, no hope Of redemption.
Resolved, That the delegates of the demo.
cratic party of Wayne, solcmnly impressed with
the spreading evils and dangers which a reflsa
to 60 into the union has brought upon tho people
of Michigan, earnestly recommend meetings &c
be convened by their fellow citizens in every
county Of the state, with view to the expression
of their sentiments in favor of the election and
call of another convention in time to secure OIL
admission into the union before the first of Janu
airy next. ,E
ResoIUed, That the Governor of the state be
and he is hereby, respectfully requested as soor
as the expression of public sentiment may satisfy
him that the people of Michigan generally de
sire the measure, to issue proclamation recon
monding tho election of dslcg ties to another
convention fer the sole purpose of giving the a.
sent required by congress to the Fundamental
conditions which they have prescribed for our ad
mis- ion into tho upiop
