TEXAS AND GOV QuITMAN.

upon Gov QuitmOn by his enemies, because
we thought it o matter Of snpererogation q

something OF, that which would otherwise pass
by harmless. "a lie,' says some oae, is like

few aounderings it will die itselfn Indeed,
Gov, Quitman appears to be most formidable
demon 10 some persons, who irighten them
selves and others with his name,
The las, story reported at Washington is,
that the Governor is ready 10 march to the sup
port Of Texas at the head OF ten thousand men.
That Gov. Quitman would be able 10 DO SO in
case Of an outbreak, we have no doubt what.

double the number but we are assured that
they would not be got together by him in so
summary a manner.
We understand that in case of the consum-
nation of the threatened difficulty in Texas,
Gov. Quiiman will call a session Of the Legis.
lature and submit the facts to them. for their
determination as to the course to be pursued"

He was a native and highly respected
