INCIDENCE.

SENTIMENTS. "A lazy person is, of all
others, the most incapable Of pleasure; a
wretch, who, slumbering in perpetual
lethargy, cannot be stimulated to action,
or reused from his insensibility. He is
his own bunhen, and would fain fly from
himself, but is not able: that eternal in.
appetency which he drags about with him
assumes a thousand different forms for
his own punishment, and that of others.
The activity of our minds, the struc.
ture of our bodies, the vigor and no.
biIity Of their organs, and, above all, our
continually returning necessities, demon
strate that the hand which formed US,
formed us for busy and active life; and
the end for which the Creator designed
us, is, undoubtedly, the best 10 which we
can possibly attain. That the necessity
of labor ought to be regarded as punish
msnt, is a mean and sordid opinion, in
vented by the efeminate and lazy. On
the contrary, if God had prohibited labor,
such prohibition might Justly have been
deemed = token Of his displeasure, for
inactiOn is a kind Oflethargy equally per-
niCionS to the mind and body.

LATEST FROM TFYAS


BY the Kingston, which arrived II
port Yesterday morning, we have received
our files of Galveston and Houston pa
pers 10 the 18th and 10Th inst.
The arrival in Texas Of the Minister
from Yucatan, as noticed in an extract
below, was occasioned by the known
movements of Santa Anna in Mexico,
leaving no doubt of his intention to
march an army into the Peninsula--be-
sides the pretty we'll ascertained fact
that he has contracted for two steamers
and several vessels of war. A brig, for
Mexican use, is understood TO be re-,
ceiving her armament in Havana. We
are informed by gentleman who came
up in the Kingston, that Com. Moore was
with two ofthe Texan schoon-
ers, to intercept this Mexican craft on
her leaving the port of Havana.
The general election is over, aud re.
turns have come in from several counties.
indicating pretty clearly that Gen. Hous.
ton will be the next President, and Col.
Burleson the Vice President.

THE Mcleod TRIAL.

The Court opened at 8 o'clock for the
trial Of Mcleod. Such measures had
been taken to preserve order, that there
was no disorderly movement. Such a
crowd was anticipated that many people
were deferred from going to the Court
House, the consequence was, that the
court room was not even filled. A iurv
was impannelled with little difficulty. al.
ter very few challenges--it consists of
ten farmers and two merchants.
The Attorney General, Hall opened
the cause to the jury, he warned them
OF the danger they were in from the ex-
cited state Of the public mind on the sub
ject' whatever" (said he "may be the
extraneons causes which have produced
this great popular excitement, il is 10 you

ture, The democrats run one candidate
only, and many democrats voting for Mr..
Stone and one or other oG the wings, ran
their vote up higher than it otherwise
would have been; thus securing the de-
feat of Mr.. Stone, by their own votes.
Frederick Cole, democrat, is elected
County Auditor, over Mr.. Brodrick, and
