things ofthis lie
he addressed the second, who astounded him by saw
ing that he had always eaten roast beef and gone 10 he'd

days by never seeking accepting Office; the fourth,
by resouely absaining from all political or religious

arising at dawn.

Brazona, Texas; and on the day, in the Texian
vessel oil war; Liberty, arrived COL S. Austin General
Wharton, and others OF the Texas delegation to the
United States Their object is believe, to procure
arms, ammunt'on provisions and volunteers. To the
poeness of Gen. Wharton we are indebted for a file of
Brazora papers up to the 23d December, from which
we take the following items
Meetings have been called in different parts of Texas
TO discuss the proprety of immediate declaration of
independence. Al Brazoria, from which place only
we knew the result, the meeting was unanimous in "a
vor OF the measure. In number il we can find

BARCLAY STREET CoLLEGE.-We have received
very curious Address delivered in Clinton Hall on the
18th of November last by DIR. Bedford of this city, in
which are to be found of the ugI;est facts re-
spectins the industry talent and management of the
Barclay street College, which we ever remember TO
have come before the New York public. The science
of Medicine in New York is in remarkable condition.
Wk opportunities to make this city one of the great
est medical schools in the world it is the wors-the
most azy-the most indolent-ihe most insignificant.
There is scarcely village in the country where me-
deal seminary may be established, that in point of
success and responsibility does supass the Impe
rial City.
In consequence Of this state of things we see Med
cal Science at It's lowest ebb-a College fed on the
bounty OF the State, almost without pupils and without
character. We shall review this whole subject at an
early day.

no armament, however powerful and mpos- ing af a distance, CT eiii o;if ooast. viii, trust, deter us from discfarging the high du- tics which we owe to our constituents, our national character, and to the world.
 fhe House of Representatives, at the close of the last session of Congress, unani- mpusly resolved that the treaty of the lth of July, 1881, should be maintained, and it's execution insisted or by the United States. It IS due to the welfire of the human race. not less than to our own interests and honor, that this resolution should at ali hazards be adhered to, If, alter go signal al example as that given by the American people during their long protracted difficulties with France of forbearance under accumulated wrongs. and of generous confidence in her ultimate return to justice, she shall now te permitted to withhold from us the tardy and imperfect indennlflcatlon, which after years of remon- stfanee and discussion, had at length been solemnly agreed on by the treaty of 1891, and to set at nought the obligation 1t imposes, the tinted States will not be the only sufferers The efforts of humanity and religion, to sub- st!tate the appeals ofiustice and the arbitra- nent of reason for the coereiye remedies asu- ally resorted to by injured nations, will re- eelFa little encouragement from such an issue. By the selection and enforcement of such lawful and expedient measures IS may be necessary to prevent q result so iniurous to ourselves and so fatal to the hopes of the phllanthropist, we shall therefore not only preserve the pecuniary interests of our citi- zens, the independence of our Government, and the honor of our country, but do much, 1t may be hoped, to vindicata the faith of trea- ties, and to promita the general interests of peace, civilization, and improvement.

 of observation. The EcIaireau, upon this,
 observes, that according 10 all appearances, this squadron will assemble in the ocean, and hold itself in readiness to act against the Americans.
 The Brest .9rmofieaia of the 2slh inst contains the following details of the mave- ments in the port of Brest aThe frigates Utdon and Ierpsichore have beenput upon the war establishment by the completing of their crews. Yesterday, the fifiieth per-
 nanept company embarked on board the ship oi the line Ju5oiiter, whose crew will be increased 10 500. The gun ship lena. and the Saati Petri, are being rapidly fitted out
 The ships Didon .altiuer, Loire and Re cherche. will sail on the first favorable wind. Great numbers of seamen daily arrive al Brest.
 The Courier Francais also refers to one of its late articles, given in our columns few days ago. on the relative forces of the French and American navies by which 1t appeared that France could, at the pre- sent moment, oppose 10 America ll9 yes sels of war, while the latter could only pro- duce 90. It now adds, that, as in case of war, precautiou would be requisite against other powers, it Is satisfactory 10 state that, in six months time, considerable number of vessels could be fitted out. Thus, in the port of Toulon alone there are, aaoat and dismanted, the following vessels ;--3 three deckers, two- deekers; total, ' ships oi the line, 10 fligates, s eorvettes, brigs I5 other light vessels, l5 transports, 3 steam boats, total 65. The number of yes- sels dismanlled in the Atlantic ports is still more considerable and certainly the United
 States cannot produce half the number Of vessels that France can put to sea. The
 Courier further states, in contradiction to another journal, the French ships are fully equal 10 tine Americans iii construction and equipment, that there is perhaps an inferi- orlty in the comportion of their crews, but that the officers have more theoretical sci 1 eace than those of the United States, and that their experience Is Ut least equal. The Americans know this, and ihe returns between the two powers will probably he prevented by this from terminating in hos- iilities.

fSogreat were the apprehenaio.a of tho peo- pie of the United States in 1894, in reference to the dangerous tendencies of the Caucus system, that not only were reason and argu- ment in all their modes resorted to, but the pen ot the poet was frequently put in requi- sltlon against the common enemy. As d sample the political poetry of that period, We shall quote . couple ofstanzas from an ef- fusion that created quite sensation and went the rounds of the anti-caucns papers; we well remember with what zest 1t was read by the original Jacksoa party in this quarter. The Crawford CT Caucus party were termed Radicals-hence the epithet of Rads.
