will surely ovcrtake us.
II is against the settled policy of the Demo-
Gratis that we would chiefly wage our warfare
Men and measures are but things Of a day aud are
soon forgotten or thrown aside. Principles are
immortal. II good, they grow brighter by con-
slant cxercise-if bad, the more consistently and
perscveringly they practiced the worse it will
be for mankind. We believe that the Democra-
cy are already far from the true. Constitutional
path--that they have, unwittngly, been deceived
by their more popular leaders. If the question
is "Union or D;s-union," we must still contend
against them. They are the fathers of all the dis
union sentiments which have, as vet, been thrown
out to the world. From their own ranks they
have flowed, and in their own ranks have thew
found their only advocates Their paternity IS
nndoubted, and they are no bastard issue.
But we protest against any such issue in the
beginning Easy as it will be 10 demonstrate
who are the friends Of the Union-who have most
consistently given il an efficient and sincere sup
port, at all times and at all hazards, yet that
would be a most perilous contest in which any
such question could possibly be raised We will
gladly throw veil over the past errors Of our
political opponents. II the history of the last
two years shall but convince them of the dangers
they have wantonly incurred, and induce them
to retrace their steps. and hereafter prove them
selves worthy supporters of the Constitution and
Laws they have so often scorned and outraged, no
one will rejoice more than will we. But on the
contrary, if they persist in their present seeming
design we have no hesitation about meeting them
and do not boast any when we promise them a
s'Waterloo defeat"

RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT AT BosToN.-The
Boston Transcript of Saturday evening says "Al-
derman Holbrook and President Brinley leave this
afternoon to meet the President and Cabinet in New
York, and communicate by telegraph with the
committee here in regard to the contemplated
movements of the party. Probably the President
will stop on Tuesday night at Newport, where his
wife is now residing. He will come here by the
Fall river route on Wednesday morning. The
Lancers have been detailed to NEE. the party some
where in Dorchester, and escort them to the Rox-
bury line on the Neck, where they will be received
by the Governor and suite, the State legislative
committee, and the entire city government.
"From the large number of military that his
excecncy the Governor will order out on the oc-
casion, it lie quite probable that grand parade
will take place on the Common during the recep-
ton day, at which the President will review the
troops. This certainly will be spectacle hardly
surpassed in interest by any other feature of the
celebration.

TO give the President and Cabinet State reception

Texas Rondholdera.

A meeting of the creditors Of the State of
Texas was held, between twelve and one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, at the National
Hotel 1t was numerously attended. X. SMITH,
esq, of Washington, was called to the chair.
The committee, consisting Of Messrs. }. w.
HousroN, JAMES HAMILTON, and CHAs. ELLIS,
appointed in February last, presented their re-
port on the subjects entrusted to them, having
in view the settlement of the Texas debt on Il
basis which should be just and liberal, and, If
possible, mutually satisfactory to both parties.
The resolutions, we Learn from gentleman
who was present, recommended that it be pro-
posed TO Texas to pay to her creditors seven OF
the ten millions received by her from the United
States, reserving three for other purposes, and
to pay the remainder of her Indebtedness (six
milions) from the proceeds of the sale of her
public lands; the principle of distribution to be
arranged hereafter among the creditors.
These resolutions, we further learn, elected
debate, at the termination of which they were
laid upon the table, as were likewise other pro
positions; and the meeting adjourned sine die.

lars, !" which, in case of annexation" would
be assumed and paid by the United States.
Such. he tells us, was the scheme of these dis
interested 'philanthropists, !" who were willing
to accomplish their mercenary purposes by the
blood and lives of others, while they took good
care of their own.
We trust that this statement will undeceive
those young men who have been ready and
anxious to embark in this wild QuiXotic scheme
Of conquest and plumber; and that by reading 1t
they will come to the wise conclusion that 1t is
best for every man to have some lawful calling,
to attend TO his own business, and be content TO
look TO the rewards of honest labor for livell-
hood, rather than to any wild, unlawful, and
hazardous schemes, in the hope of realizing a
sudden fortune. Such schemes are lotteries in
which only the desperate and their dupes engage,
and in which there are more than thousand
blanks to single prize. There may be something
very chivalrous in the idea Of ''battng for lib
erty" and even ''dying upon the field" but
there is very little chivaly in being one of a
chain-gang to work in the mines.

event:

nounce with sorrow the death Of Mrs. Crittenden,
wife of Hon. John J. Crittenden. She expired at
half past ten o'clock on Monday morning, Sep
TENDER S, after an illness of nine days This news
will strike sorrow to many hearts, for the accom-
plished deceased was known and loved not only by
kindred and neighbours but by thousands who have
met her at Washington and elsewhere among the
best and most distinguished spirits Of the Re-
public.
sour strongest sympathies are with her bereaved
husband and family. In few days we hope to
present. from ADLER and more familiar pen
than ours, fitting tribute to the many and bril-
liant excellencies Of her character"
The distinguished man whose hearth has
been desolated by this sad occurrence has had
his cup full Of sorrows of late; but even this last
and btterest draught may be sweetened by the
reflection that the memory Of her whom he has
lost will be embalmed in the recollections of
thousands who were familiar with her virtues,
and that she has gone to the bosom of that God
whom there is every reason to believe she
worshipped in a spirit Of fervor and truth. We
indulge in hope similar to that expressed by
the journal we have quoted.

PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

APPOINTMENT OFFICE, sept. 10, 1891.
| Sir: Yours of the 18th instant, relative to the
commissions of postmasters under the late law for
the reduction of postage, &C., has been received
| The Postmaster General is authorized by the 9th
section Of the act in question to increase the com
missions of postmasters under certain crcum-
| stances, viz:
At all post Offices where the labor of the post
masters shall be increased, aud the commissions
fall below the amount allowed for the fiscal year
ending the 3Oth of June, 1851 the Postmaster Gen.
eral may in his discretion increase the postmasters
commissions, but the commissions allowed must
not, in the aggregate, exceed by more than twenty
per cent. the commissions of the year last men
toned, and in no case such commissions be in
creased beyond such amount.
After the quarterly returns and accounts for the
first quarter of the year commencing on the let
July, 1851, shall have been received and examined,
some uniform rule or general regulation will be
| adopted in regard to such commissions, with the
view of giving proper compensation for the in
creased labor (if any, imposed upon the postmas-
tiers by the operation of the late law, and the mod
flied regulations which are expected to be issued
before such law goes into effect 1t is believed that
until these accounts and returns received the
Postmaster General will not have sufficient evil
dence of the practical operation of the law and
regulations to enable him to prescribe the necessa-
ry rules for determining when and TO what extent
extra allowances shall be made, and no final or
| decisive action be had until such evidence il
procured. Postmasters will, however, be careful
to cast their commissions on the amounts of post
ages actually received at their respective offices,
and insert them in the account current as hereto
fore, and whatever extra allowance may be made
will be entered by the auditor in separate credit
in the general account.

Hon. John Nj. Bolts.

The Lynchburg Virgi,lian notices in the fol-
lowing terms the late Congressional nomlna-
ton in the Richmond district:
"Hon. John NJ. Bolts has been renominated for
Congress by numerously attended convention
held in the city of Richmond. Upon the question
of his nomination there but two dissenting
voices. In the absence of Mr.. Bolts from the city,
the nomination was accepted for him by friend.
We hope the Wings Of the Richmond district will
now bury the hatchet and exert themselves unitedly
and zeaously to secure the election of man who,
whatever may have been his offences against party,
is a true Wing, devoted friend of the Union, and
possessed of an intellect inferior to none in the
State
The Richmond Wing, of yesterday, says
"On Saturday night, by an arrangement made
without consulting him. Mr.. Bolts appeared at the
African Church, before the electors of this city, to
signify his acceptance of the nomination rendered
him, and to make some personal explanations Of
the objections, by some, alleged against him.
''He accordingly addressed the large audience
assembled to hear one whom all knew that they
must listen to with interest. His speech occupied
about forty five minutes; and though confined Gas
he thought fairness 10 his absent competitor
quircd) to subjects not belonging TO party discus
sion, but merely 10 the relations between himself
and the Wings, it was heard with the greatest at
tention and the strongest marks of favor. Indeed,
it would be difficult for any man to have stronger
hold on the popular affection and confidence than
has Mr. Bolts, as to large proportion of the Wing
population of this district.''
We trust, and have hardly doubt under
present circumstances, that the district will tri-
umphantly elect MIR. Boris in the approaching
trial
