The city of the Palatincs is no longer governed bv
descendant ola Saxon pirate or gentleman. The
families of noble Huguenots are giving place to the
incessant encroachments of Novo homo Dutchmen,
and Picts and Irish. The son Of an honest German
carpenter presides at the council and commands

very able speech IN defence OF young gentleman
of respectable family, charged with perjury in the

a community so decidedly democratic, those abili-

The cause of the Texans is regarded with cool
consideration. Your friend, Ex-Governor Wilson,
skilled as he is in raising an excitement, cannot
move the mass: some how or other people care
not TO win lands Tor scrip holders and specuators;
neither are they enamorcd with the hopes OF the
promised plumber OF the public edfices and private
dwellings OF people with whom their own govern
