ing patriotic aspiration. Let it be lis.
tened to as voice. from the tomb and
be treasured up as an invaluable leg

ADVICE TO MY CouNTRY.-As this ad-
vice, if it ever see the light, will not dc
it till ! am no more, it may be consid
cred as issuing from the tomb, where
truth alone can be respected, and the
happiness of man consulted. 1t will
be entitled, therefore, to whatever
weight can be derived from good intcn-
tions, and from the experience of one
who has served his country in various
stations through period of forty years,
who cspoused in his youth, and adhcr-
cd through life to the cause Of its liber-
ty, and who has borne part in most
of the good transactions which will con
stitute epochs Of its destiny.
"The advice nearest to my heart
and deepest in my conviction is, that
the Union of the States be cherished
and perpctuated. Let the avowcd enc
my TO it be regarded as a Pandora with
her box opened, and the disguised one
as the serpent creeping with deadly
wiles into Paradise"

From Texas The steam packet New
York, captain Wright, arrived On Thurs
day night in 44 hours from Galveston
By this arrival, we have received our usu-
al files of Texas papers as late as due; the
papers however contain very little news
of Importance.
AT Houston business was rather dull
and money scarce. The market was well
supplied with almost every article.
The location of the new seat Of gov
ernment does not appear to have given
general satisfaction. This is not strange
however, when there are so many con-
fiictihg interests-some wanting it in one
place and some in another.
Rapid Improvements were going on at
Houston and Galveston. At the former
place about sixty, and at tho latter about
forty new buildings were going up. A
private letter received from Galveston,
informs us that every branch of business
is on the increase there. Emigrants in
large numbers still continue to arrive.
Charles Watrous, the Attorney Gener-
al, had resigned. 1t was not known who
was to succeed him.
Gen. Hunt, Secretary of the Navy, had
rendered his resignation, to take effect
the first ofnext month, owing to his being
obliged to leave for the States on his pri-
vate business.
The British barque Ambassador was
nearly ready to sail ior Liverpool, with
500 bales of cotton.
The Spring races at Houston had come
OFT and it is supposed that considerable
money had changed hands on the occasion
We have received an account of the en-
tries, running, &c from Mr.. G. W. Ad-
ans, secretary of the club, which we
shall publish tomorrow. The stable of
our friend General Green, of Yelasco,
carried every thing before it.

Weare not overstocked with prescicnce.
Our predictions have not been invariably
realized, but we venture to aver that our
antcipations and declarations Of coming
events, have lorcshadowed the truth much
more than any Of the opposition can boast.
Time after time; Presidential contest af-
ter Presidential contest, have we been
told that the Democracy of this country
would he totally annihilated, yet notwith-
standing all the bolstering, Dragging, and
telling of fantastic lies from the presses of
the foderaists, our flag is still streaming
in the wind, and all the efforts of CIaylsm.

What though a passing cloud from some
portions ofthe EAST passes over t?--what
though we may hlve lost an election in
Connecticut this spring after brilliant
succession Of victories last summer and
fall, the brightness of the SOUTHERN
sun will easily dispel it. There is not an
election to be held in the South land we
ask that our prediction may be marked }
that will not place the Democracy upon
more elevated ground than we have recent

Iiow TO GIT A LOAN OUT OF TnR u.
MON BANK I'VE have heard much com
plaint of tho partiality and injustice Of
this institution, in the distribution of its
loans. Perhapsa hint ortwo to our friend.
who wish to borrow may be of service. In
the first place, it is necessary that all ap-
pllcants should abuse CIV. McNutt in good
round terms. lie must be cursed with nc
measured denunciaiion. You must have
no conscientious scruples about profane
swearing.
In the next place, YOU must take an
oath that every thing the Union Bank has
done was right, that the directory are the
wisest men living, and that overy man
who doubts it is fool and ought to be be-
headed
In the third place, you must produce n
certificate from the sheriff of your county
that you are insolvent, and will be sold
out in twenty days if you don't get a loan.
If you are in good credit you cannot be
accommodated These are the 3 grand
essentials which are indispensable. Then
there are several other things which
should be thrown in by the way of soft
corn For instance, you ought to humble
yourself before each directory when you
meet him out. You should always make
very low bow. You should tell him that
be is the handsomest man, the cleverest
man, and the greatest man living. Call
him the Biddle Of the Union Bank. Sew
eral of the directory are ambitious of be
ing gallants you should insnuate that
they are irresistible among the ladies.--
Above all, you should make up a poor
mouth, tell of your wants, beg and suppli-
cate humbly, and then, perhaps, you may
get that which you are entitled to as
right Mississippiaa.
