rangement with Texas on the plan OF a
qualified independence on the part of the
latter, with a provincial Legislature, &C.,
agreoably to the propositions conveyed &c
Texas for consideration by Judge Robin.

"A REPUBLICAN DEMOCRAT"

We invite attention to an article in a
preceding column over the above signature.
In all probability the article would have
escaped our notice, but hearing Mr.. Craige
refer to it in his speech at Union Court, we
gave it perusal and we have concluded
to push ii along. He told the people that
no Democrat would have sent a communi-
cation to the Raleigh Register, but to one
of their own papers. Now we beg to differ
with the gentleman and the writer states
his reason for so doing. He says he knows
Of no Van Buren, paper in the State, and
if there is one its circulation is so small
as to have no influence. This was his
reason, and il is remarkable fact that al.
most every Loco Foco press in the State
is under the control of men who prefer
Mr.. Calhoun as their first choice for the
Observation-Disclosures the writer mus
! have known that such an article 1t sen
TO a Calhoun paper would never have
been permitted to see the light. GA Re
publican Democrat" says Mr.. Craige palm
ed himself upon the party in lSl0 as al
EIector-th,s Mr.. Craige denied, and SAT-
he was out of the State and had no hand il
placing his name on the ticket. It's usua
we believe to consult persons before thei
names are presented to the public, an
Mr.. Craige forgot perhaps, that ma
might be out of the State and still give hi
consent to have his name used. Wing
give it perusal, and let the Van Bure
men read it.

REPEAL.

Although much sympathy has been ex
hibited in different sections Of this country
in favor of Ireland and much money con
tribuied, Mr.. O'Conncl's speech lately dc.
hvered in Ireland, in which he says he
considers all " shareholders enemies 10 Ire.

TO change the current Of feeling, and move.
ments have been made to break UP several

every true hearted Irishman will refuse 10
submit TO the dictation Of Daniel O'Conncl,
and decline to leave the land of their adop.
ton because he may consider them ene-
