Gen Sam Houston, reelected for Six years to

tory presents some of the s,rangest and most
anomalous and rreconc ileable characteristics,
incidents and circumstances, maintains popu-
larity which no man can account for, except on
the ground of magnetism, that peculiar personal
fascination which Mr.. Foote says is possessed
by Henry Clay to such remarkable extent. We
shall hear of Sam Houston, perhaps, at the Bal
tmore democratic convention, because we
know that there are certain great men who have
their misgiviDgs in this respect.

tcntiOn TO the subject We hope the military

treated according to the usages of civilized ma

There is determination on the part of the
wings in Congress 10 kill off the ten regiment

the President shall be able TO show cause why
the force operating in Mexico shoald be in
creased beyond the filling up the vacancies in
the existing regiments, The debate in the Sc

wings OF the House time to arrange their plan of
assault upon the bill, when 1t shall come over

Our present opinion is, that the ten regimen,
bill will not become a law.
