mocrals WIN voted against him before gen,
orally TO oppose him again. As little as such
gentlemen nay be willing to admit that thi.
prejudice would have any thing to do with
their 'oppo.lon to Terry, we believe that
it would. Entertaining these views and de.
string Ihatthere should be no doubt about
The success OF the next democratic candidate
ior Governor, we would prefer the nomina,
tIon oil sane other man than Col. Terry.
There an many capable and faithful men
IN Motif Alab ana, who could unite 10 their
support learly all the TRUE Democrats OF the
State there are some tender-footed Demo
Gratis wh take every convenient opportunity
| TO Oppose their party-to such we do not al
lude aid large portion Of the wings, in
opposition TO Marin. The nomination OF
one Of hese, would place his election beyond
doubt. Indeed, we think it quite likely
that Martin would drcline the contest with
an unqnestionable popular Democrat opposed
TO him.
But who is such man as we desire
who can more successfully than Terry,
oppose Martin We will name one that we
think can-the Hon. GEoRGE s. HoU,ToN,
representative from this district in congress-
lie possesses all the qualifications requisite
to administer The affairs of The State with
distinguished ability. He has long been on
active. always an answering, Democrat /;
is man OF talents, integrity, unimpeachable
private character, and great moral worth.
By his faithful and efficient representation
oil this district in congress, he has won fhe
esteem and respect of his constituents 10
greater extent than any of his predecessors,
and can now command more votes than any
man In the district. In fact, he possesses
as much, or more popularity than any other
man throughout North Alabama. Such a
man as him we want as candidate for
Governor. We know that Gen. Hounton
does not aspire to the office, but we also
know that he is not the man to finch from
any honorable duty that may be imposed
upon him for the support ard advancement
OF Democratic principles.
we have proposed Gen. Houston as the
next Democratic candidate for Governor in
spirit Of conciliation believing that all
SINCERE Democrats desire 10 see the con-
filcting sections of our party reconced, and
are willing to aid in accomplishing so desira.
BILE an object. Upon Gen. Houston the late
supporters of both Terry and Martin can raj
" without any sacrifice of principle or pre-
JUDGE; and we think the rejecting, who
desire the success Of the party, will agree
with US that it is better TO make sure of vic.
tory than TO enter upon doubtful contest,
which promises, at best, TO ALLEVIATE portion
of our party.
We have thus given our views, on this
subject, frankly, and after mature delibera-
ton upon the prospect before US. We can.
not hope that they will meet the views of all
our friends; but they are our honest and de-
liberae convictions, and such as we think il
our duty to express at this time.

BILE form of successful objection, and we
readily concur with the suggestion of his
name among those of the available candi-
dates upon whom, freely and openly selected
by the voice oil Inc party, union and success
would be certain.
Col. Terry is, however our first choice, as
we believe he is that of a very large major.
ity of the democrats Of the State-and in
suggesting the alternatives in events which
some consider probable, we are far from

From the Democratic Watchtoper.

II is evident, from every indication that
public sentiment is fast settling down on Col.
Terry as the Democratic Candidate for the
next Governorship Of the State Of Alabama.
Tho Florence Gazette, come to US this
week, announcing. in the strongest terms,
lis preference for Mr.. Terry, in the coming
contest. We notice now among our ex>
changes, nine Democratic papers, openly
and avowedly for Terry, some of which have
placed his name at their masthead. We
notice but Two Tor Belser, and one for WAL
thai, three in all--add The Republican and
the Greensborough Beacon, which are for
Martin, and we have five, and all told.-This
indication of public sentiment is convincing
testimony of the popularity of Mr.. Terry.
and the desire Of the Democratic party TO
elevate him TO the first Office in the State
position which, il justice had been pre-
dominant IN the last election, he would now
be filling. We cannot remedy the past, but
we can guard against such acts of violence
to our party in fuiure.-We feel proud that
the people are with US in our efforts to re-
munerate Mr.. Terry, for the wrongs inAict.
ed by an unhoIy alliance of personal with
political enemies. We see that justice is in
the breasts of our people, and is fast devel.
oping itself, and ere long il will have reach
ed its proper summit, aud in perfect secu.
rity, look with contempt upon those who
have lead on the disorgaoizers to temporary
political victory. We have abundant reason
for the assertions we make, and in addition
TO the many able and dignifed articles which
we have hitherto copied from leading Dem
ocratic Journals in the State into our col
umns, we refer our readers to those upon
the first page OF to-day's paper. It will be
seen that the Press calls loudly for Mr.. Terry
as the candidate, and we feel confident tina,
the people will no longer withhold that reward
which his able and efficient public services
so Justly entities him. How contemplate
must those feel, who have, in their efforts to
dstroy the democratic party, and its pure
principles contributed mostly TO dig deep
the political grave of their champion and
leader. 1t is dug, and now let them look
into its depths, and quail beneath conscious
ness, that they have not only dug his grave,
but have also furnished the implements TO
the people, with which to prepare alike place
for themselves.

The Montgomery Journal contains a
communication on the subject of our militia
system. The writer notices the fact, that
whilst Alabama was the first State to re.
spond to the call of Gen. Gaines for troops,
that she has had no part in the victories of
Gen. Taylor. He attributes this to the de-
ficency of our militia organization, which
rendered our men "unft" TO take The field.
Somehow'Alubama has been unfortunate
from the beginning Of this matter. She
certainly had the material to make good
soldiers. and the promptness with which the
people answered the call Of Gen. Gaines,
and the proclamation of the Governor, shows
that the disposition 10 do good service was
not wanting. We do not deny that more
perfect militia organization would have
rendered our volunteers more efficient for
immediate action; but we ure Of opinion

lind has thrown its weight in the same

Sam. Houston and his Rcpub-
lic,,


We have received a copy OF this work
by Z. E. Lester of New York. 1t is a
neatly printed volume of some 200 pages,
and consists OF biographical sketch of
Houston, and brief history of Texan af-
fairs down to the period of annexation. Mr..
Lester, like most biographers, is jealous
friend of ME hero of his book. He at.
tributes all the disasers-and their name is
legion-that befel Texas, from the decla.
ration of her independence. 10 the end of
Houston's first administration, TO the action
of the party opposed TO him. The massa-
ere OF Fanning's men the massacre OF the
defenders Of the Alamo; and the violation
of The treaty with Santa Anna-are all
charged upon Houston's contemporaries;
who, it is alledged, acted with i'll judged
haste, and in opposition 10 his views and
wishes. Gen. Lamar, Gen. Felix Houston,
President Burnett, Gen. Greene, and other
men, prominent in the eorly history of the
AeOPuoHCs arc maui ~ opPooi 10 q ouhu VI
conspirators whose only object was to pro-
mote their own schemes, regardless of the
interest of the State. Mr.. Lester is par.
ticula.ly severe on Gems. Felix Houston,
and Lamar. He represents the admins.
tration OF the latter to have been little better
than. a series of blunders from beginning 10
end-and the General, to have been wild
and reckless man, destitute CT the compre-
hension, and forecast, necessary TO coasti-
tute statesman. 1t would be difficult no
doubt, to write a history of Texas, or BIZ.
ography of any of The public men who Fl.
CURED in her early councils, and in her
armies, without saying many things calcu-
lated to give rise to angry debate; but Mr..
Lester seems to have become the partizan of
Gen. Houston, and his book, therefore, must
be very Objectionable to the friends Of Burr
net, Lamar, Felix Houston, and other prom
inent men, who have always been arrayed
IN opposition TO Gen. Sam. Houston. In
order to make up an opinion both sides
should be heard: to those who desire TO
