The TRxAN ENTERPRtsE.--Ihe chlv-
alreus -Kentuckians, who went TO fight
for !" liberal prineiplss," are returning
chagrined. We always believed that they
cared more for the money and land'. than
for the Iibery;of the Texans. We give
extracts below from an address to the pub
lie which appeared in the Kentucky In
telligencer, Of the 18th of September,
from disappointed officers and soldiers
who have returned. From the whole ar
ticle, which IL too lengthy for US at this
time. it appears that the bounty lands
promised Volunteers were not holden I'M
less the volunteers Arrived BY the first of
July; and these who have returned
charge it against the Texans, that they
took measures to hold at bay until after
the time, those who would otherwise have
arrived. The extracts which follow,
taken from the report Of these liberty
loving volunteers are worthy of some
consideration from those who have in
dulged sympathy with these human flesh
mongers and land jobbers:
We will not dwell upon the false assu-
RANGES made to Us by men protesting to
be the accredited agents Of Texas in this
country At the time when the cause of
Texas was dark and gloomy; when San
Ia Anna seemed destined to carry desola-
ton over the whole country, those men
were prodigal of promises, and protesting
to BE- authorised to speak in the name of
the Texan government, made assurances
of ultimate remuneration which they
knew at the time were false, and which
time proved to be so. But Of this here
after.
We now state what our PERSONAL OBJ
servation and undoubted information ena-
bled US fully TO perceive.
LIST. That the present population Of
Texas seemed wholly incapable Of just
idea Of civil and political liberty, and that
so far as the extension Of liberal princi-
pies is concerned, it is Of little moment
whether Mexico or Texas succeeds in the
struggle.
Cd. That the mass Of the people, from
the highest functionarv Of their pretended
government, TO the humblest citizen with
but few exceptions) are animated alone
by desire Of pIGnder. and appear totally
Indifferent whom they plumber, friends OIL
Toes.
Sd. That even now, there is really nc
organized government in the country; ne
laws administered no judiciary per
petual struggle going on between the civil
| and military departments and neithe,
having the confidence of the people or be
ing worthy Of it.
We could see nothing to induce US t
embark our fortunes and destinies via
them. With these views and facts, W,
could but sicken and wonder at the vile de
ceptions which had been practised upol
US; yet we were told that this people hat
risen up in their might, to vindicate tn
cause Of civil and religious liberty. 1t i
mockery of the very name of liberty
They are stimulated by that motire, whicI
such men can only appreciate, the hope 0
plunder. They are careless of the form
Of government under which they live,
, that government will tolerate licentious
, ness and disorder. Such is a brief, b.
we sincerely believe. faithful picture {
a country to which we were invited wit
so much assiduity, aud such the name
in which we were received and treated.
We might multiply facts, in support
