DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION.

1t is much to be regretted that any
difference should spring up between
sections ofthe state, as 10 the time Of
holding our Democratic Stale Con-
vention; we trust, however, that the
difference will soon be buried, and
that uuion and harmony may prevail
upon this, as well as other subjects.
The Importance of the convention
should, we think, admoniSh our friends
to bear, one with another, and accom-
modate their differences. In the dis
pute which has occurred between a
portion Of the press of the State, rela-
live to the time ofholding the Con-
vention, we of course, have taken no
part, and we would even now be will
ling to agree to thesuggestions Of the
Guard and Tribune as to the time
Of holding the convention, but for the
fact that the people in more than half
the counties in the State have held
meetings, or appointed days for the
holding Of meetings, to appoint dele
gates to the Convention to assemble
on The 2ed Of February meet. The
time for meeting cannot now be
changed without producing much con-
fusion; and while we readily admit
that tho reasons offered in opposition
to so early a day as the 22d, are more
than plausible, we must conclude that
| the inconvenience Of the time should
not be considered when placedin the
scales with the confusion which must
inevitably follow change Of that
1t,me. We trust the intelligent conduc'

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP
dRf>
NEPTUNE, CAPT. ROLLINS,
FROM TEXAS.

The steamship Neptune, arrived
yesterday morning from Galveston, by
which we have dates from Houston to
the 9th, and Galveston to the goth
inst. The principal items of interest
are the following:-President Hous.
ton has issued a proclamation laying
a duty on all French wines imported
into the Republic from and after the
18th Of Feb. lS43, according to the
rates established by law and by the
existing treaty between the Two coun-
tiles. M. Cannayel, Minister from
France to Texas, arrived at Calves
ton on the LIST of Dec. 81 tribes of In
dams had arrived at Wacoe village;
on the lslh and were awaiting the
arrival of the commissioners to con-
clude treaty ofpeace. The Mexican
settlement styled New Bahia, was de-
stroyed few weeks ago by a party of
volunteers from Victoria. The Mexi-
cans at that place had frequently man.
ifesled hostility to the Texans resi-
ding near there, and whenever a Mex
lean force was in the country they be,
came insolent, and often appeared
armed. Mexican soldiers were often
seen at the settlement, aud it is evident
they came as spies.
The army, numbering 500 effective
men, under Gen. Somervell, left the
Rio Frio on the 29th ult. for Mexico.
They were in fine spirits, and well
provided with horses, ammunition, and
guns, and are said to be the most ex.
perienced and daring troops in all
Texas. When last heard from, they
had reached the Mexican town of La
redo.
According to report from the
Treasury Department, there were on
ly $4,000 Exchequer Bills in circu-
lation on the lst inst.

The time for meeting being agreed,
upon, the importance Of the Conven-
ton will give impulse 10 action. The
Convention cannot be packed with
members ofthe Legislature, who hap
pen to be in Jackson Ut the time, as
was objected to the last Convention.
The delegates will come .. fresh from
the people," and prepared to act in all
matters with view to the success Of
measures before men, In many coun-
ties no movement has YET been made
to appoint delegates. This has been,
in a great measure, owing 10 the df-
ference existing us to the time for
meeting. This difference will be set

mocracy Of such counties as have not

WHERE ARE THE BOYS Boz, in
one ofhis characters, says "there ant
any boys left-that there ant such a
thing as boy-that there's nothing
now between a male baby and
man." The editor of the Index con-
firms this idea Of Boz thus happily:
Once there were intermediate states
of boyhood-a bare footed and bean.
porridge-eating state-a spelling and
cyphering period-when there were
boys to do little things and go errands.
But there are no such things now;
the child steps out of his diapea and
frock into "long tail coat" and calf
skin boots. He exchanges the nipple
for the cigar. Not one of the present
generation has ever seen real, bona
6de, "nine-day old" pot of bean por-
ridge.
But the present generation is as
destitute oil girls as boys. It is either
baby or lady-clout or bustlc-nursc-
ry or parlor. The mother tends her
infant or waits upon her daughter.
Instead Of spinning flax or cotton for
their fathers shirts, they spin street.
yam to their own degradation, and
learn to beat few old tunes out of
superauated piano, fol- the amusement
their beaux.

Is Corr ALIVE ?-The New York
Tatller insists that Colts yet alive. II
says, there are plausible reasons to
believe that Colt has escaped, and
thus evaded the punishment due to his
crime. This belief, let it be remem-
bered, is not confined to any class of
community. 1t is general. A dis
tlnguished gentleman informed US
yesterday, that at large dinner par
ty, composed of some of the most
intelligent merchants Of the city 1T
was the settled opinion of more than
two-thirds that Colt was alive.
1t is readily to be seen that the
public will not allow this affair to be
hushed up. Yesterday an attempt
was made to remove the body from
St. Mary's Church, but crowd col.
lected at once, and loudly protested
against it. 1t was accordingly replaced
In the vault.
The only proper course is for the
authorities TO order an investigation:
The sooner this is done, the sooner
will the excitement subside, if there
be no Just grounds for its existence.-
