To GEN. HENRY S. FoorE:
SIR-We greet your visit to Texas
with cordial welcome. This country,
we believe, is destined to occupy an i'm
portant place among the nations of the
earth. The memorials of its early his
tory are scattered, and many of them
liable to perish; the actors in the strug-
gle for freedom must, by the course of
nature, soon leave the scene of their
triumph. 1t is due 70 the cause of Lib
erty. that a true narrative of Texian
independence should be submitted 10 the
world. Public cares claim the exclu-
sive attention of those of our citizens
who are competent TO execute this work.
approaching your great literary attain
ments, your high standing, the indepen-
dence of your character, and your de-
votion to the cause of liberty. we re-
spectfully ask you, if consistent with
your other pursuits, to prepare for the
world, history of Texas.
We have the honor to be. very sim
cerely, your friends and obedient SER

more than once stated through the medium Of

edly read his speech as published, in which he
was charged to have made use of the above
words, and we found none such or similar in i
and we have challenged the Van Buren Press
TO show the speech in which Mr. Clay made such
or similar statements. They have never nro.

u II Ia w Il IA L. 4 PICAYUNE.
In consequence Of the popularity which on,
daily paper has gained in all sections of tbe
country, and the numerous demands we arr
receiving from all quarters for a weekly Jour.
nal, VIC have determined on starting one of that
description, to be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE."
Toadopt the same fgurative style used in our
hrst prospectus, we have fitted out the "Pica-
g""e" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts of notions in the shane or
reada6IeSj and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasting nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns
10 prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined to move.
we have put on her many additions and i'm,
proVements. Some Of her old timbers hayel
been taken out and replaced by new-she has
q greater measurement foreand aft, greater|
length OF beam, and her sheets have been ma
lerlally enlarged.
. notwithstanding the Increased size, the pub
nc may rest assured that the 'Picdyune' will be
enabled to work in Shoal water with the same
AGILITY as heretofore, and form channels of
communication which it would be folly for the
lull, heavy vessels at present sailing this port

downward proCliyity to careIessness and indh
terence, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu
lity in the ntallibiity of those whom we have
elevated above us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a hap

which has already commenced, and which is
still going on in the opinion of the people, SO
Tar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the Feder.

to embark in the publication of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County, 1t had many
oiincuitles TO encounter, and the strongest OPP
position to contend with, The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
nave nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then in
.ne'f infancy, but mere minority which sus,
tanned IT. But, the resistless march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought abouta
brighter and fairef dawn; and the philan
thropist and the patriot can now look in pro,
spectve upon the revisit of those purer days,
which once pointed to the destiny Of our much
beloved country.
The political creed of the Advocate will be
he same which it has heretofore advocated,
State flights and Stale Sovereignty, will be the
lrterlal action which shall give life and amin
'tlon to its political character.-But, while ex.
'rclslng tenacity for those principles which
will never yield to caprice, the columns of this
ournal will, at all times, be open to liberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel to the
lde OF passing events, and an acceptable organ
