The Great Coon 'Glorifcaiion. The
democrats who were present at tie late
federal gathering in Baltimore. all agree
in the fact, that it was scene of reveiry
that their whole proceedings were to-
tally destitute of anything like dignity
and decorum. That our readers may
have some idea of their exhibitions, the
following is quoted from letter to the
editors ofthe Richmond Enquirer:
4 had not been in the city two hours
when my attention was attracted by the
sound of music. The band consisted of
some eight or ten musicians. dressed in
deer skins,with coon skin cars. The leader
of the band, and for aught know. one
of the leaders of this great and universal
wing party, carried pole, on the top of
which was to be seen poor and halt
starved coon, manacled and tied by
chains. They were followed by hun
dreds of wings, and received from them
beatty applause. This was the first evil
dence of whig decency that saw! This
exhibition was wing principle.
Moving about the city during this day
{ Wednesday, | see at the corners of the
streets crowds engaged in the laudable
and patriotic task of singing what they
call Coon songs, taken from that great
xtbook Of the wing party, 'the Clay
Minstrel, TO the tunes of Rosin the Beau,
Old Dan Tucker, &c. This was the Sc
cond evidence | saw Of whig decency.
and another wing principle, of course!
Towards night and at night, YOU
would see the effects OF Intoxicating
drinks; and liquor seemed to have rath-
er stronger and more stimulating effect
than songs, Coons. and enthusiasm for
Clay. Never did imagine, that | should
ever be witness to the scenes of dissi-
patton. debauchery and drunkenness that
everywhere met my eye. Vice, unre-
buked. pervaded for the time the monu-
mental city. This was wing decency.
And enquiry should be made here, if this
too was wing prinriple?'

Extract from speech of Daniel U'eJster
on The floor Of Congress IN 1882.
'Of all the contrivances for cheating

have been more eFtctual than that which
deiudes them with paper money. This
IS the most etfectual of inventions to fer
t'llZe the rich mans field by the sweat of
the poor mah's brow. Ordinary tyranny,
oppression. excessive taxation, these
bear lightly on the happiness of the mass
OF the community, compared with fraud
ulent currencies, and the robberies com
mitted by deprecated paper. Our own
history has recorded for our instruction
enough, and more than enough, of the
demoraIizing tendency, the injustice and
intolerable oppression, on the virtuous

ly in the Baltimore papers, as making
application for the benefit of the insol-
vent laws of Maryland. The amount of
debts due by them is enormous. A sim.
liar work is unhappily going on in all the
large cities and towns of the U. States
They who were little while since the
Tip Of the tom and residing in palaces,
are thus engaged in settling their debts,
and dragging mlny sober and discreet
mechanics and tradesmen along with
them. The pressure of the times-the
want OF something to give circulation
to money. and hence the impossibiIty of
making reasonable collections. also pre-
vents many, who are really well able to
Pay their debts. from meeting their en-
gasements. the facilities which they
might have relied on, on an emergency
six months ago, being now wholly denied
to them. Such is the horrid state into
which unprincipled speculation, combin-
ed with Pal pable fraud in too many ca
ses. have reduce ed our country. The
paper system has seriously affected our
moral character, and enough of pure
crime has sometimes happened to sim
gle bank to send thousand little rascals
to the PenItent,ary.'

LATER FROM TEXAS.

By the arrival Of the steam ship Nep.
tune at New Orleans, on the Cad inst.
we have advices from Houston to the
9Th April.
Among the passengers by the Neptune
were ex-Presidert Lamar, Gen. A. S.
Johnson. and Mr.. Murphy, bearer of des.
patches for our Government.
The San Antonio prisoners, recently
released, were treated with the greatest
hospitality on their arrival at Galveston,
and also at Houston.
The trial of Commodore Moore would
probably not take place, as it was stated
that two of the officers named in the
Court NJ artlal were not now in commits
sion. and General Sherman had written
TO the Department to that effect.
The schooner Robert Centre, with e53
bales of cotton, has been lost between
Sabine and this city. OF the cotton on
ly 6s bales are thought to have been
saved.
A copy of the Armistice signed by the
Texan and Mexican commissioners has
been published, and the papers are CON-
menting upon it with great severity.
The Houston Telegraph states that a
large number of German emisrants ar
rived at San Antonio de Bexar few
weeks since, and Immediately settled in
the vicinity of that healthy location.
The La Grange Inteligencer states
that a party of nine Mexican robbers.
who were lurking rear San Antonio TO
intercept company of traders returning
to the Rio Grande, were captured by
Major Hays few days since, and brought
in to his head quarters.
The same paper also States The
Galveston Civilian has an article in ref
erence to the course of Texas should an
nexation not be accompishe d, and states
that it is highly probable. should the
United States refuse to annex, that the
next Texan Congress will be elected up
on the principles of Free Trade-that is,
to abolish all duties except upon few
articles. such as ready made clothing.
shoes and boots. saddlery, and some 9TH
ers. This would throw open to England
and Der manufacturers a large and ex-
tensive market, and would deprive the
Eastern manufacturers and merchants Of
the markets which they now find in the
southwestern States: for with an extern.
ded and i'll defined boundary it would be
impossible to prevent smuggling. The
Civilian says, in reference to revenue,
The uncertainty of procuring means
for the support of the Government has
heretofore been the greatest obstacle to
the adoption of this policy. The resour-
ces Of the country have been greatly aug
nented within the last year. especially
in the hands Of the commercial commu

3 Norel .Attenpf at Suicide occurred
at Washington day Or two ago. A
man was seen to place large stone in
his hat and deliberately walk into the
: creek that crosses the avenue at Sc.
cond ST.; having arrived at the centre.
the water being about waist deep, he
threw himself backward; in failing his
hat and the stone went to the bottom:
finding that the weight he expected to
keep him under water was lost, he gained
his feet with considerable activity. and
then walked out in the same deliberate
manner he went in.
