Our neighbors of Texas are in a high state Of
excitement in regard to the general election to
take place in August. The papers are filled
with political communications on the various
points of state policy, and on the merits of the
aspirants for public favor. There is one feature
in Texas politics which we admire: each can
ddate addresses a circular to his constituents
setting forth at large his platform of princi-
pies, and giving the people to understand how
he intends to deport himself if elected. That
is the way to carry out the creed Of principles
not men," -....-......
We learn from the Vieksburg Wing that a

ever may befall them-success or disappont-
ment, pleasant journey or conflict with the

that such proposal would be made in the ap
preaching canvass, little did we dream tina
they would be so speedily realized, and from
such a quarter. We thought likely enough
that some party at the north, we'll knowing
that the policy, if acceded to by the south
would make her own hands the instruments Of
her overthrow, would urge itupon her as fail
and pacific basis of party organization. n
would be the old trick over again, which north.
ern parties have SO often practised upon the
credu]ity and blindness of the south. But we
never imagined that democratic paper, a
southern paper, pro-slavery paper, would SO
lar iorgetlts principles and duty, as to come
to the south In the present moment of peril and
anxiety, with a proposition which is, in plain
terms' bare-taced attempt to PROSTATE and
betray her.
The Daily Delta closes long review of the
Unions article, with the following truthful re-
marks:
