Gentlemen of the opposition insist that TINS IS Is a

election, gave Gen. Scott majority of 267 they
have four representatives on this floor, three Of

unfairness and ilberaIity. Mr.. R. repeated that
he was prepared to concede to his political oPpo-
nents what was right and fair; they had MAJOR,
ity in this House, and he had right to demand
from them justice. The p Ian which he had submit
ted was fair, and the only one that could pass.
There were some districts that he would desire to
be differently arranged, but taken whole it was
fair, equitable and just, and ought to be adoP

The Houston, Texas, Telegraph, gives promising
picture OF rapid increase in the population OF thai
State. II says:
The roads through the eastern counties are liter
ally lined with emigranis. The ferries on Red River
are constantly employed transporting emigranIs from
the East to the Western shore. The record books
of the principal ferries Red River show that eighty
thousand persons crossed that river last year, on te
way to Texas. The number crossing this year is iaf
greater than it was last 1t is estimated that upwards
of twenty thousand emigrants crossed those ferries
into Texas during the month Of October. The steam
ers or the Gulf are nvsying nearly as many emil
grants to our ports there crossing the ferries
Every steamer comes completely crowded with pas
sengers. Last year the number of persons that were
transported to Texas by steamers and sail vesses
exceeded seventy three thousand. If we may ISSgo
from present indications, the number that Will %
brought to Texas this year, by the Gulf, will exceeo
one hundred thousand. As we have accurate data
show that over one hundred and fifty thousand per
sons came to Texas last year, and as more persons
are coming by the Gulf and by the land this yea
than last, We may reasonably conclude that the pop
ulation of this State will be increased by hundfu
thousand during this year,

ABsrEMIoUs DIET. Many cases of illness both in
adults children, may be readily cured by absti-
nencerom all food. Headaches, dsordered slomachs,
and many other attacks often caused by violating
the rules of health, and. in consequence, some paris
of the system overloaded. some of the organs
are cloggec. Omiting one, two, or three meals, as
the case may be, gives the system chance rest,
and allows the clogged organs to dispose of their
burdens. The practice of giving drugs to clear out
the stomach, though it may afford the temporary
lief, always weakens the system, while abstinence
secures the good result without doing any injury.
Said young gentleman to a distinguished medical
practitioner, in Philadelphia. Doctor, what do you
do for yourself when you have turn of headache or
other slight attack
Go without my dinner.'' the reply.
6 And if that does not you, what then go
s. Go without my supper"
But if that does not cure you what then1'
60 without my breakfast. We physicians sell
dom take medicines ourselves, or use them in our
families, for knew that abstinence is better, but
we cannot make patients believe it.''

of Sight; very little rest day or night,
and much cmacialIon, and to all appear

We had the most eminent physician in
Annapolis. but his medicine did not give
her any relief at all, but growing worse if
any change in the least and after hav-
ing read one of your Pamphlets, in July
last, she concluded to try Uampton's Te.

we perceived a great change for tho bet
ter: her appetite improved, her skin be-
came quite clear, coughs, pains, neuralgia,

had taken a few bottles more she was
completely cured, and is now in the en-
