FLARE-uP IN TIE Locoroco STATE CONVENTION.
1t appears that there was quite arespectable flare
up in the Democratic State Convention, on the
subject of Texas. One of the members, Mr..
Briggs, presented resolution declaring the at
tachment OF the Convention to the cause Of annex
alton, but this was violently resisted by others,
and after scene Of confusion, the resolution was
Withdrawn.
THIS only shows that this Texas question is des-
tined 10 be of the mightiest elements OF agia-
ton ever introduced into this country. 1t has al
ready torn up the foundations almost Of the demo-
cratic party in the north, and completely Frustrated
Mr.. Van Buren, and all associated with him. 1t
has also arrayed Mr. Webster and Mr.. Clay in OPP
position TO each other 1t has set the abolition
party again on their own legs, and is undoubtedly
going to produce terrible havoc during the next
year, in connection with abolition and slavery.

gross the mind of the public to the exclusion OF al

amss to furnish your readers with the following re-
freshing Renaissance Of former days, from the CO.
umns Of the "Rspublieaa Watch Iouu," printed al
New York in 1904, upon the acquisition OF Lou ST.
ana. The psans which were then sent up by the
public press, for the accomplishment OF that great
national event, clearly indicated in the subJoined
extracts Unless citizens have lost all their for
mer virtue and patriotism, and become the mere
machines OF partisan puppets and political wire
puIIers, they will also send forth equally il not more
ardent and pointed expressions of satisfaction than
those, for the efforts of President Tyler To secure
territory for us, of vast more value in many points
Of view than even that part of Louisiana, which we
retained, after having given away Texas to Spain.
