PRoPosrrIoN TO DIVIDE Texas INTO Two
STArEs.-The Houston (Texas) Telegraph refers
TO proposition now on foot to divide Texas into
two States without delay, the B.azos TO be the di.
vidng line between them. The Telegraph further
states that members OF Congress requested the Sem
ators from Texas during the recent session, TO III
troduce bill into Congress, for the purpose Of dl.
yiding the country into two States.
This, we fancy, is going rather farther than the
Northern contracting parties in the Texas business
agreed to and, we are greatly mistaken, if any
such division Of Texas into two States, would be
authorized by Congress at this early period. AT
the last election in Texas, a little over thirteen
thousand votes were polled, and these thirteen
thousand voters, little over one-fourh Of the yoi-
ers in New York city, are now represented in the
councils of the United States by two Senators and
one Representative. That wretched State has
enough power already in our Government 1t was
by the votes of Texan Senators that the Locoioeo
Tariff was fastened on the country.
Considering the number of voters in Texas, We
regard it presumptuous beyond all precedent 10
talk Of making two States out of the country. One
State Of the sort is quite enough, in all conscience
When the proposition to make another State is III
uoduced into Congress, we think and our opinion
is founded on recent unmistakeable developments
in the Northern and Western States, that large
number OF the Locofocos who voted for the admls-
sion of one State Of Texas will vote against any
more blessings of that kind. The North will moi
vote in favor of placing the control Of the legisa
ton Of the country permanently in the hands Of
Southern politicians. The generous Northern and
Western Democracy are very sick Of that kind o.
control already. Nine-tenths of the Locooco pa
pcrs North of Mason and Dixon's line arc bitterly
protesting against the controlling influence Of the
South, and, under such auspices, to talk Of adding
another State in Texas, for no other purpose then
TO increase that influence in Congress, is to talk oil
an impossible achievement Louisville Journal
