This state Of things ha- been the subject OF
comment by both the wing and democratic

We consider each Of the causes very aPtly

in despite Of all of them, there Is every reason
to behave will soon express puhlie sentiment
IN unison with the friends.of the south. That
public opinion in Texas la, been reprrssed by
the action Of her Senators on the southern Ad-
dress, Is apparent. 1t viii not be- necessary ut
all, for our purpose to arraigu The motives that
Influenced their conduct on that occasion.
They both. from an early residence IN the conn
try and many years Of honest and faithful pub

measure, unsurpassed by any other citizens o.

move them from their best interc~ts--irpm thu
path Of duty. Il WAS natural that variety of
opinions should exist among their friends aud
constituents about any act they should do in
their repre sentative capacity, which involved an
apparent breach of duty II they had both
supported the Southern Address, there would
have been unity Of sentiment among the people
Of the state The act and the causc would
have Justified each oth,r, and both would ha'e
been pria,a fiicn evidence Of duty Their con-
stitucnis would have been united IN their appro-
haton of their course, and the state o. Texas
now would have been behind no other southern
state in harmony OF action. Ihci, opposition
To ihat address, however has thrown damper

editors Of the TeNas papers are from the free
political quality Of their early prcleronccs-

slavery, or opposed to It But one thing is
very certain. their general apathy on the sub.

little for the cause, any way The few little
touches that they have given the subject, tend
to the doctrine, that silence is the only path
Of safety that there ia more honor in sub

What can community be expected 10 do, IN
