TEXAS DERT-

Inc uaiVestOn NEWS, says the ~. Orleans,
Picayune, furnishes synopsis of bill which
il describes as having passed both Houses If
the Legislature of Texas, providing for the
payment aud liquidation of The public debit
We give the substance, although there is some
doubt upon our minds whether the bill has ac-
tualy become law. The latest dates at
Galveston from the city of Austin appear to
be of the 18th, at which time, according to the
letter writers, the bill which passed the Senate
had been for some time before the committee
of the House, who had reported substitute,
the consideration of which had been offered
to the next Monday, the 25th. But IntelIi
gence may have been received at Galveston
later than we find stated in the papers. 5g
The bill which the News quotes as passed
by both Houses, appropriates two out of the
five millions of bonds which the Comptroller
has gone to Washington City to receive, to
pay certain accumulated debts immediately
The holders may be able to recognize them by
the description, which has reference to the re-
port of the Auditor and Comptroller of the
State, by which the State debts are scaled and
classified under sixteen heads. The imme-
diate payments ordered to be made are of
those under the third head ofthat classifca-
ton, $226, ,002 COR ten per cent. funded debt Of
February 5th, 1S40; the fourth head, $7,248
for eight per cent funded debt Of February
5fh, 1910; the ninth, $69.45 for audited paper

miscellaneous liabilities; the fourteenth, $679,

for third class debt, lately admitted as second;
sixteenth, $72.077-less $3S.053, amount ac-
knowledged BY joint resolution.
These appropriations amount TO 81 l,056,543

ls49 and all know that his labOrs have been
of the most active and incessant kind. No
man can say that he ever fnched from any ex,
ertOn, in doors or out-ofdoors, that was de-
manded by an efficient discharge Of his duty.
Energy and ability, it must be conceded, have
eminently marked his career Honesty of in
tention and straightforward, conscientious
discharge OF his duties connot be denied him.
No man can sustain Il charge, even the slight
est, of dishonesty or peculatio against him.
All the characteristics of good citizen will
be conceded him. He is guilty of none of the
small viccs-is neither drunkard nor gam.
bier, and pays his debts and owes no man any
thing. He has not even mdulged in proper
ton to his means and opportunities, in the
common speculations of the day, but has in
vested his means largely in tiHins the soil,
helping to enhance the value Of other peoples
property beside his own. Yet notwithstanding
all this Gov. Ramsey is the most abused man in
the Territory. The last two :. Democrats" teer1
with the foulest language and the "boldest,
most extensive and inhuman rascality" is free
ly charged against him. But is there any evil
dcnce to sustain such horrible charges asks
some one. Not partcle-not an iota. To be
sure he has the assertions of the veracious NJ.
Sweetser whose attempt to pocket the money be-
longing to the Indian creditors, we have expos
ed above. Mr.. Robertson, gives him as his au-
thority; and on the bare say-so of this desper-
ate man, disappointed in schemes of aggran-
dizement, high minded public officer is sud-
denlyclasscd with felons and criminals!
The editor Of the Democrat, some NAV think
and say, shows himself remarkably ready to a.
busc and defame, ON doubtful testimony. True
but that is nothing unusual. TO accomplish
an object, he once before made his press the
vehicle of the most vcnomous falschood against
Gov Ramsey. To accomplish some other OBJ
Ject he opens the same kind of batteries again.
Perhaps ne wants Gov. RS place early, and
takes this mean way to slander him out. not
content to wait the ordinary turning of the
political wheel which must shortly take place.
Or, perhaps, as is said, he is one of that gang
who were allied with Sweetzer to grab the
money of the traders, and divide the spoils and
who rage from disappointment and frustrated
hopes. Such, at any rate, is the kind of man
who controls one of the public presses here, and
whose talents are so feeble that he can only
write when he has somebody to abuse and then
ere long he disgusts his readers. The reaction
OF disgust. we predict, is already coming on
amongst his subscribers. lie may froth for week
or two mOre--that will be the end of it. In the
meantime Gov. Ramscy's friends invite inves-
tlsation, not abuse; though to be sure he can
live the latter down as he has done before. So
let the vipers gnaw away. They bite a file!

In closing this article, which the insertion of
the several Documents has extended beyond our
expectation, we feel a sadness steal over us. as
we reflect upon the fate of public men in this
country. Their inevitable destiny is slander

them be ever so able to perform their duties,
ever so laborious in discharging them, ever so
conscientious in their execution. Facts will be
distorted. motives misrepresented, actions fall

some printing presses and that may be to the

!. ~. .... ~ :. Ii 5 5 3 -.

We publish to-day, says the Statesman OF
the s9th ult., the call of the Democratic State
Central Committee, for Convention of De-
legates of the Democracy Of Ohio, on the 9th
of January next. The object Of the Conven-
tion. as stated in the call, is the nomination
of candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Go
vernon Secretary ofState, Treasurer of State,
Attorney General, ,one candidate for Supreme
Judge, and one member of the Board of Pub
lie Works. a...... o.. ........... .........
AS the Offices for which nominations are
to be made are of the first Importance, the
Democracy will not need to be urged to turn
out % the County Conventions for the selec-
ton Of Delegates. No county should be
unrepresented on such an occasion, The
Democracy should all feel deep interest in
the Convention. 1t should be attended large
ly from every township, village and hamlet
in the State. The day itself is one upon
which Democratic vows should be renewed,
its consscrated memories renewed, and its
thrilling recolections revived, that its hal
loving influence upon the hearts of the old
friends and lovers of ANDREW JACKSON, may
be refreshed and in full vigor through each
generation. Our enemies, it is true are
PROSTATE now-b but they are endeavoring tc
arouse, form new organizations, and will
strive for the recovery of power under new
names and novel devices. Democratic Wig
lance must be eternal--when awake and ac.
tive the power is always ours. Let, then,

WEBSTER AND THE EIEHwAYMAN-A cor
respondent of the Detroit Free Press gives
the following correction of an anecdote about
MIR Webster, when riding at night between
Washington and Baltimore: .u.a. ...
The anecdote is entirely incorrect, and as
it appears to reflect on the courage of Mr..
Webster, it is but fair that his memory should
have the benefit of the true facts. The fol-
lowing you may depend on as the true yer :
sion. have heard it more than once from
an intimate friend and great admirer of Mr..
Webster, and who was in Con gress with him.
Mr.. Webster was one of the passengers in
a stage coach which broke down between Bal
timore and Washington. The passengers
went to the nearest tavern, and there found
chat there was no other vehicle to be procured
for some hours. This was at night, and Mr.
Webster, being very anxious to proceed on
his journey, applied tothe landlord for some
conveyance; his answer was that he had
none, but that a person was about to pro.
ceed towards Washington, in agig, and might
be induced to give him seat; "bnt," said
the landlord, drawing Mr.. Webster aside,
"you may not like your companion; he 10 the
notorious A., the murderer!' "Ney-
er mind, said Mr.. Webster, ''he will not
hurt me; ask him if he will take me-" NJ
was man who had been tried for most
atrocious and savage muder, and who, al
though he had been acquitted, was believed
by all to be guilty, and went by the name Of
M-.---, the murderer. The owner of the
gig consented to take Mr.. Webster with him,
and they started, chatting on various sub
jects, until suddenly, avery lonely part of
the road, his companion turned abruptly
towards MIR. Webster, and said, "Do you
know whom you are riding with?" With
out moments hesitation, Mr. Webster an
swered, ~ es---with M-----7-, the murder
er," and, in his turn, asked, "and do you
know with whom you are riding?7a NJ
at once answered, ''Yes---with Daniel Web
ster, and believe, too, the only man in the
United States who would dare to say TO me
what you havej just said.''d The, boldness oI
the answersnitsd the savage spirit of NJ,
and he often afterwards related the anecdote

Once clothed in robes of majesty and might,

Mid tears and signs thou fell before deaths stroke
Perhaps thy death fondling's heart once broke
But long ere this they all have sunk to rest,
And in immortal robes of being dres'd
