SIR:--Having been detained bv sickness
on my journey to this ethyl did not receive,
until last night, your letter of the 9TH inst,
enclosing an extract from the "Sea Shore
Sentinel in relation to a speech lately made
by me in San Augustine. l take the ear
Hest occasion TO answer the enquiries pads
by you in the frank and friendly spirit in
which they are presented.
On my way home addressed the people
OF San Augustine in defence of my cour Sc
in the Senate, upon the ten million bill and
urged them to accept the proposition, as the
best way Of settling the boundary question,
with honor and advantage to the State.
In the courss of my remarks alluded to
you, but in style the reverse of the one
described by the correspondent of the Senti-
nei." 1t is impossible for me to recollect
the precise language used, but the idea in
tended to be conveyed was that in contest
with a government as powerful as that of
the United States, it would be the duty Of
Texas to rely upon means which she could
command more than upon the sympathies
of other sections of the country which she
doubtless have had but had no right to de-
mand
In this connection, mentioned the fact,
that you had in 1886 come to the aid of
Texas, and stated my belief that the ex-
preston of your readiness to do so again,
contained in your letter of last summer had
probably been of service, inasmuch as it
showed the country that in the event of
collision with the General Government,
Texas would possess the good wishes of her
sister States-butI added, that under such
trying circumstances, her chief reliance
should be placed upon the resources which
she could command promptly.
Ibelieve that if you had heard the remarks
in question,You would have been convinced
that they were dictated by spirit of kind.

democrat will lend his name, for the ppr.
pose Of dividing and distracting his party
for the mere sake Of place For the State
Offices we hope the democratic party, as
such, will remain united; for the state con-
UentiOn. we hope old party distinctions
will not be regarded. That is matter
paramount to every other consideration,
and should not be influenced by party en-
entanglements. If it cannot stand upon
own merits, let it fall. Thus far Mississip-
pi occupies prominent position, and one
highly credltable to her. If she basely re-
treats from this position. let :here no cover

This is a matter in which all parties are
equally interested; and it is gratifying re-
Fiction, 20 know that the leaders in it are

most talented and influential men of both

aspiring Wings that bobbIe about on the
surface of public applause, like fishing
cork, lead the miserable corporals guard OF
submission, in Mississippi. Aud from their
frequent apologies, lodging and shutting
and the amount Of filth and falsehood they
weekly spew out upon the public, we may
fairly conclude, that the leaders are asham-
ed of such men and the men ashamed of
such leaders. We feel no fears of the sue
cess of the Convention ticket. if We do not
suffer ourselves lulled into inaction. The
people only need to know the true state of

SHOCKING MURDER OF You've LADY
We learn by a gentleman from Holmes
county, that a most brutal murder was com,
mitted not far from Lexington on Friday
last. A man named Tate had been enga-
ged to be married to young lady, (name
not 'eeOllected) and her parents opposed
tho match. They met on last Friday at
wedding in the neighbOrhoOd; and the com,
Pany were adiOurning to a neighbOring
house to dance, Tate asked the young lady.
Hhe could net accompany her, and upon her
declining &c accept his services, he drew
pistol and deliberately shot her through the
body, and then tried to make his escape.
He was arrested and committed to Jail.

The explosion of the humbug Oft great
