The Convention of the 4th Con-
gressional District.

The Convention which assembled at Danville
on the list inst, was well attended by all the
different portions of the united Free Democracy.
Owing to implied party obligations which the
peculiar friends Of the two prominent candid
ates, Mr.. Rowel of Troy, and Mr.. Bartlett of
Lyndon, had naturally felt themselves under pre-
vous to the union, to support tho man they had
formerly supported, there was, for while, an
ate of their former choice; but happily no doubt
Or disagreement in regard to the principles of
either, or the platform on which either would
willingly and firmly stand, if nominated. And
when their deliberations resulted in the success
of Mr.. Bartlett, the Convention were favored by
a speech from each of these gentlemen, which,
for ability and sound Free Soil doctrine on the
part of both, and of self sacrificing magnanimity
on the part of Mr.. Rowell, abundanty justified
the good opinion of their respective friends,
while it furnished with the responsive good
feeling that manifested itself, good augury of
the triumphant success Of the nominee.
While, however, we yield hearty response
to the nomination of Mr.. Bartlett, and trust it
will receive the warm support of all the friends
of free principles in the district-while we ad-
init that, under all the circumstances in which
cur friends in the different counties, and indeed
throughout the State, are placed, it was perhaps
the very best nomination that could have been
made-we believe no good end can be sub
served by Withholding just need of praise from
the talented and energetic young man who was
a competitor for the nomination. 1t was gene
rally conceded, we believe, by those best &C.
quainted with the complexion of the convention,
that majority of the towns represented were
favorable to Mr.. Rowell's nomination, and that
had a nominating committee from each town
been decided upon, the result would have been
as thus indicated, But the Senatorial basis hav.
ing been adopted for raising the committee, the
Voice Of many of the towns was lost and the
consideration finally prevailed that MIR. Bart
ets nomination would contribute most to har
monize and cement the free democracy through
The district. To this conclusion, Mr.. Rowell
and his friends cheerfully submitted, and the
depth of his magnaninty and devotion to
the general good together with the ability and
zeal with which he seconded the nomination of
Mr. Bartlett, and commended it to the support
Of all his personal and political frends, furnish
ed the true secret of his strong popularity among
the latter And we conceive we do but simple
lJustice to the united and spontaneous sentiment
of the convention when we add, that it adjourn
ed with full determination that Mr.. RoVelI
should hereafter be remembered

The following Is the proclamation issued by
Gov Bell referred 10 by telegraph. 1t speaks
for, and explains itself lnferentlally:-
PROCLAMATION,
BY THE GOVERNOR or THE STATE OF TEXAS.
| Whereas, in the opinion of the Executive, an
"occasion" has TRANSFERRED since the adjournment
of the Legislature, such as is contemplated in
the constitution, rendering it necessary and
proper to convene the Legislature of the State
in extraordinary session.
Now, therefore, l. p. Handsbrough Bell Gov
ernor of the State of Texas, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the cons tutioa, do ly
these presents, hereby require that the Senators
and Representatives composing the Legislature
of this State, shall assemble in special session,
at the capitol in the city of Austin, in the coun-
ty of Travis, on the second Monday 1.-THE 10Th
day of August next, to deliberate and take &C i.
ton upon, as their wisdom may dnect, such
matters as shall then and there be presented in
volving the honor and rights of the State.
EXCITEMENT ON THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
BY the Southern Mail to day we have Calves
ton papers OF the llth inst.
The Santa Fe question was at that time caus
in great excitement throughout the State. On
the subject of converting the Legislature a Gal
weston paper of the 10Th says
A Legislature has never met in Texas under
circumstances of such peculiar difficulty and
deicacy. The unpleasant relations now existing
between the State and the Government demand
the exercise Of great firmness and energy BY
the Legislature Of Texas.
We would suggest tine proprety of holding
public meetings in every county in the State,
that the hands of the Governor and of the Legis-
lature may be strengthened in this alarming
crisis.
Resolutions preceded by preamble, were
passed with great unanimlty and enthusiasm by
those present, declaring the indisputabe title Of
Texas to the Santa Fe portion of its terri
tory, and pledging themselves to sustain the
Governor in such measures as should be neces-
sary to maintain the title.
A large public meeting was held at San An
tone in regard to the state of affairs at Santa
Fe. Resolutions were adopted condemning the
course of the Federal Executive, defining the
rights of Texas /; objecting to any sale of terri
tory except upon the condition of a clear and
unequvocal acknowledgment of the rights of
Texas declaring that there exists sufficient
evidence to authorize the Governsr of Texas to
declare the county of Santa Fe in state of in
surrcction, and to exercise his constitutional
power in suppressing the same, and enforcing
and vndicatng the laws of the State, and de-.
claring thgt the citizens of BeXar county, indl-
vdually and collectively, will cheerluIly sustain
the State authorities in any and every legal Ell
fort to establish the rights of the State and en-
force and vindicate the laws.--Bee.

Of IS. Carolina, formerly member Of Congress,
in which he distinguished himself chiefly BY the
shriness of his. voice. All the newspapers here
seem panic stricken with his daring and even
Sir Clay took occasion, the other day in the
Senate, to denounce him as traitor We do
not see any special reason for alarm. Mr.. Rhett
is only giving utterance to sentiments which he
and few fdgetty demagogues like himself, have
harbored for years.
Without talents to acquire national distinction,
they have just enough TO earn, by hard labor,sec
tional notoriety. Why not let them talk, and
act too, if they like? We do not believe the
country will be relieved of these pitiful outcres
of danger to the Union, till some real attempt at
Disunlon has been made. For one, we are quite
willing South Carolina should try the expert
ment The right OF secession is incontcstable-
but 1t is a revolutionary right Let her exercise
it and see how many States she can induce to
follow in the lead, taking r. Barnwel Rhett as
their Magnus Apollo. If she and other States
are prepared for Disunon, they are not prepared
for Union; and it is manifest that our present
Government, with such dsoffected members OPP
posing it, can only act by their sufferance This
slavery question is a pretext with the Disunion
agtaors. Its settlement would not alIay their
discomfort; they cannot be great men in the u
MON; they must be, out of it. Concession will
do no good, but harm. 1t will only cmboldcn
them to make more audacious demands. Have
we a government or not? This is question
which we are willing to see determined. If
must waive its authority, abstain from the exer-
else of its constitutional powers, whenever any
State may choose to threaten violent resistance,
then it is Government not worthy the name
it is in fact, no Government at all.-.NdtionaL
