TEXAS.

The steamer Neptune arrived here this
morning from Galveston, brings Texan
papers to the close of the week.
We find no mention made Of Indian hos
tilities or Meyican invaders.
A portion of the press places Texas in
a most amentable position-without gov.
eminent to take any hand or part in its
defence, or do any thing to promote the
general without money or credit,
troops or amuniiion-yet threatened with
invasion on the part of 10 or $4,000 regular
Mexican troops.
Accounts from Matamoras to the SIS
OF January, had reached Galveston. The
Mexican general at that place had reoues-
led relntotcements, in order that he might
act on the offensive against Texas. The
Texans captured at Mier, had been mar
ched into the interior. 1t was thought ,ho,
Santa Anna would send large army a.
gainst Texas, Immediately after the subiu-
gatirn OF Yucatan.
We cannot find any mention of the ne.
gociations Of England in the behalf of
Texas.

MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICAN.-A new pa.
per, bearing the above title, is about to be
established at Columbus. 1t is TO be edit
ed by David Ferguson, Esq, ard will ad-
vocate and urge the nomination of Mr..
CALHOUN. Upon this subject Mr. F. in
his prospectus thus speaks:
Although we may recognise in the
Democratic party other distinguished men
whom we could support with willingness
and rely upon for SD cess. if nominated by
a national convention, vet we unhesitt-
tlngly avow Mr.. Calhoun 10 be our first
choice, and the man whom we should be
the most proud TO assist in elevating to that
higl Office. For, independent of our high
admiration for the purity and excellency
of his private character, and OF the OBJ iga-
titns we owe him for long life of devoted
and efficient labors in his country's ser.
vice, we have still stronger reasons for
or earnest desire TO see him made the
candidate Of the party-because his cleo
ton would be triumph of the doctrine
of the constitution, and restoration
of the principles of Jefferson and Madi-
son into the administration of the govern
ment.
We believe that he alone can unite the
South with the sounder portions OF the
Northern democracy; and we are sure
that the freemen in every section of the
Union, who desire the preservation Of state
rights and dread the encroachments of fed.
eral power, have only to review the hsto-
ry of his public life, to enter with ardor
and enthusiasm into his support. He has
for long time been the boldest and abIest
champion of their principles and has un.
fiinchngIy adhered to them between the
allurements OF power and the attractions
of public favor on one side and the storms
of party maevolence and invectige on the
other"

In publishing the suhjoined communica
ton we depart, somewhat from a rule
which we have established. AS the author
of the communication is unknown to us,
we should certainly, for this reason alone,
refuse i. place in this paper, were we not
ourseII es able to vouch for the correctness
of the statements which it contains.
STATE TREASURER.
Mr.. EDIToR:--I notice the name of DR..
S. CoPEs, mentioned in communica.
ton in the Mississippian, as suitable man
to fill the above office. Who the author of
that communication is, know not. But |
am satisfied in my own mind, that man
better qualified, in every respect, to dis
charge the duties Of State Treasurer, can
not be found in the State. DR.. Copes has
long been known as citizen of Missis.
sippi, and whose consistent coarse in eve
ry department of life he has been called
TO fill, has won for him as large a circle of
friends as any man can boast. Amid all
the commotion and trying political chan
ges, that have racked parties for the last
ten years, he has ever openly and boldly
evinced his warm adherance to sound de-.
mocrallc princi pies. Graded in the lap
OF pure democracy, how could he, with
his characteristic decision and firmness act
otherwise? In addition to his correct DO
litcal views, he possesses, in an eminent
degree every other qualification to render
him one of the rery best men for the con.
vention to agree upon. His well known
integrity of character, during his residence
in tho northern part of the state, will en-
sure an almost undivided support, while
the same virtues acted out in his life, du-
ring his residence in the middle portion of
the state, will render his nomination one
which will meet the hearty appreciation of
an extensive circle of friends in this re.
gion. He is also most favorably known
in the southern part of the state, where nu.
merous influential friends would be glad 10
support him.
