anxiety for respectable nomination OF judges hav
ing no hope any decent nomination from Tsmmany Hall

OF politicians and promptly present ticket Of candidates
honest capable and faithful to the Constitution, with
out compromising with the political hacks Of the other

v Hon. THOMAS II. BrsroS's sfEEoH at st.
Loui. will naturally attract and amply reward
careful perusal The way it walks into Tyler and
Calhoun for the Texas Iniquity fully atones for ali
its nonsense about the surrender Of Texas which
we never had had in 1879. Although Polk is not
expressly condemned for the advance from Corpus
Christi to the Rio Grande the silence on that point
coupled with the striking unreserve on others IS
highly expressive. Col B will yet again handle
the claimants ofthe Rio del Norte as the true boun-
dairy Of Texas as unceremoniously as he now does
the defunct $40 40s.
