We give tho following letter 10 the
public with some observation-disclosures we
would not willingly make our sheet The
channel through which to bring accusa-
lions against public servants, unless the
charges are substaniiated by clear proof
(" From the lights before us' we are con-
WINGED that the conduct Of our members
Especially Messrs. Tucker and Thompson)
in the matter referred to, requires the strict
Get investigation. Why did Mr.. Thomp-
son wait to be several times importunely
called upon by Mr.. Johnson, of Tenn, be-
fore he explained tho enornties of the bill
which he had allowed 10 pass, and only
opposed upon the reconsideration And
what justification can Mr.. Tucker offer,
who voted for the bill lhroughoutl Many
other questions might be asked, such as
Was not the Hon, the present Secretary Of
the Treasury, who introduced the bill, land
who has an intimate knowledge Of Indian
ahars,l himself aware Of the wide field it
opened for speculation and corruption!
Can it be possible that the Hon. Secretary
was himself party interested in its pas
sagel If il be true that this Chickasaw
bill was designed for purposes of fraud and
speculation, why did our members who
had the best means of knowing, and whose
constituents are most interested mot find
ii out, and sound the alarm, until the bill
had passed, and reconsideration moved by
a member from another States Itseems 10
us that, in the most favorable light it can
be viewed, they were not so watchiul and
jealous Of the interests of the people they
represented, as the calls Of duty demanded.
Our experience has taught us that there
are always a dozen presses TO defend and
justify, where there is ono TO accuse, or
hold to a strict account, their or its own
political friends who arc in station, or en-
trusted with the interests Of the people. III
our members feel their consciences easy oil

them by our correspondent, (who is good

ty TO mako their justification through the

The most important intelligence from
Texas is contained in a proclamation Of
President Jones, calling upon the people OF
Texas to appoint delegates to Convcn-
lion to assemble at Austin on the 4th OF
July, to take into consideration the propo.
siion Of annexation 10 the United States,
and also

made concerning the nationality of the
Republic; and should they Judge it expe-

constitution to be submitted to the people
for their ratification, with view 10 the
admission of Texas, as a State, into the
American Union"
The Chief Justices of the respective
counties are required 20 give notice of the
elections, appoint superinteudents, &c.
The day for the assemblage Of this con-
vention--the fourth cfJuly-the Picayune
remarks, is one on which American inte-
rests ought not to suffer. The whole peo-
pie OF Texas are for annexation, and there
can be no doubt of the prompt action Of
the Convention in forwarding the desires
of the people of both countries.
