THE DISTRICT SYSTEM.

Gov. Reynolds has perceived the torrent
of public opinion, and in his Jefferson In
quirer' makes a sneaking intimation that
the question of districting the State is one
about which democrats may differ, and still
be recognized by his "clique." Such was
not his language eight months ago, but for
the purpose Of covering his defeat, he nou
proposes to open a poll in each county
next summer, to decide the issue, all the
candidates agreeing to be governed by q
majority. The Governor has too strong q
propensity to govern majority, rather
than be governed by one to make such d
proposition, if he did not thereby hope to
smother discussion, and obtain by trickers
and fraud that which would otherwise be
impossible. He knows tina, less than hall
the counties would open such poll--tha
less than half the people would vote on thai
question after they were opened--and tina
after the election it could be pretended
the people had refused to entertain the
question, preferring to leave their represen
tatives untrammeled ! He knows, too, hi
toades are prematurely committed agains
the peoples side, and that in the absence
of fraud, all will be defeated For this, and
other reasons, we intend to hold him to
his first love, and walk over him rough shoe
in Howard and every other county. No
solitary "clique" adherent should be al
lowed seat in the next legislature.

BOON'S LICK DEMOCRAT.

The printing materials of this establish
ment were sold on Saturday last, under
deed of trust, to secure DR.. John J. Lowry
and others the amount of their respec-
tive claims against the concern. They
were purchased by B. F. Jeter, Esq, for
one thousand dollars, he being the only bid
der. The forms necessary to legalise the
sale were gone through with, and the orr,
ginal owners took possession of the estab-
lishment. What they design doing is not
yet known to the public; but we suppose
as soon as they can find person who will
suit their purposes-who will be content tc
lie and swear TO it for them, and if need be
fight over it-who will not think of such a
thing as having an opinion of his own
much less expressing one-who will pub
fish and defend everything put in his hands,
without why or wherefore--ins short, one
who will act as mere squirt through
which they can eject their fth-when such
a person can be found, we presume the
publication of the paper will be resumed
For not possessing the above--with the
Clique, indispensable qualifcations-we are
satisfied the services of two editors have
been dispensed with.
What jewel thou art, o. Democracy ! !
p. S. Since the above was in type, we
learn, DIR. Lowry, principal owner of the
establishment, and one of the ruling spirits
of the clique has left for St. Louis, from
which place he will most probably return
with an editor, as we learn there is gen.
tleman in that city who has solicited the
birth. We should like 10 see the meeting
between the Doctor and COL Penn--it will
doubtless be rich scene. We hope Mr..
Penn will take the Doctor round, show him
the curiosities, and introduce him to the
natives. If Col. Corbin is in town, tell
him to be careful of his sears" as the clique
are quite as fond of "souse" now as they
were last winter when they advertised fol
them through the Enquirer" e..

TEXAS AND MEXICO.

The President Of Texas, by proclama.
ton, under date Of June 18th, proclaims
an Armistice between the two countries
to continue until the result of certain ne.
gotations now pending shall be known
The Government of Mexico acts through
the English Charge de A.faires, making the
English Minister at Texas the channe
through which the Texan government re-
ceives her communications. The Texans
look upon the interference of the English
Minister at Mexico with suspicion, and re-
gard it as move on the part of the Eng,
fish Government to interfere with their in.
stitutions. 1t is doubted whether Mexico
will acknowledge the Independence Of
Texas. Peace, at least temporarily, being
established between the countries, il is &c
be hoped their difficulties will be settled
without again resorting TO arms.
