LATEST FROM TEXAS.

The Galveston News, 21st inst, learns
by a gentleman direct from Cold Springs,
that there had been heavy rain in that
section of the country, and the crops were
looking finely g
The same paper learns by friend from
Brazoria county that the crops never prom
ised more fayorably. The corn is tasseling
the cane growing rapidly, and the cotton,
though tall, looks we'll, and the stand of
cane, corn and cotton is good.
Mr.. r. Thomassy, French gentleman,
is now in Galveston, looking at the pros
poets for manufacturing salt at that point
by solar evaporation The News says;
The atmosphere of the Texas coast is
the dryest of any in the Union, and the
constant winds give additional facilities
for evaporation,
The Civilian quotes letter from INDIE
pendence, 18th inst, giving fine accounts
of the crops. Invigorating rains had fall
len very generally in the west. roa4t
The Victoria Advocate says the corn and
cotton crop in that county, though back
ward, look well.
There is generally a good stand, and

Vegetation is not suffering for want of
rain; and some farmers say that they are
more afraid of too much than too little.
The Washington American likewise
records favorable rains. A genial season
little longer, it says, and "we predict a
great crop in Texas yet ..
Heavy rains, much needed, had also fall
len in Liberty. The Gazette says:
Previous to it cotton was doing poorly,
but it is now thought it will ''come out.
Around the town and in the country, there
is plenty of corn waist high, and in some
fields it is tasseling. All appear to be sat
isfed with their corn crops.
The Houston Telegraph, Goth inst, says
everything is growing with the greatest
rapidity. BY intelligence from various
parts of the country it concludes that good
crops are generally promised.

THE GREAT QUESTIoN-LET THE
PEOPLE CONSIDER 1T.

The Democracy of this State having ta-
ken positive grounds against the equitable
distribution Of the public lands, proposed
by the American party, we call upon the
people to notice the arguments by which
they sustain their position, AS yet, but
few of them have dared to go intoa discus
sion They will not discuss it, They are
overwhelmed at the outset The justice of
our proposition is so plain that no sophis-
try can conceal it from the masses. Hence,
Democracy will contrive, if possible, to di-
vert public attention from the subject
But the people can never forget their tax
alton. They cannot be made insensible
to the burden that is pressing them down.
Our State is indebt. Her bonds are fast
running to maturity Her liabilities must
be met, and he people mast be tared. I'm
der Democratic policy there is no other
way by which to sustain the State credit
than by increased taxation. Let the peo-
pie groan, groan, groan, beneath the weight
of taxation, is the practical sentiment Of
the Democratic party. They deny to the
people the right Of converting to their own
use the lands which justly belong to them
They refuse to permit Tennesseeans TO re
lieve their load of debt and taxation, BY
taking hold, at once, Of the millions thai
are in store for Tennessee --KnOrvilLe Reg

BG- proposition can be clearer than
that the party in power is bound to admin
lister the government in all its departments,
and that each member of that party, not
incapacitated morally, physically, or in
tellectually, is bound to contribute his
mite to the perfection of such administra-
ton. How, then, does it happen that the
traiterous Mormons are not forced to re-
spect the federal laws? Why are they not
punished for their open defiance of the
federal government? Why is it that it is
so difficult to find democrat who is will
ing to become the Governor of Utah? To
us the reason is plain. The morally and
socially degraded Mormons- made up main
ly of foreigners-are, Of necessity, demo-
Gratis; and as the Territory will shortly be-
come State, the administration fears to
coerce them lest they may be driven from
the fold and into the ranks of somer other
party. There can be no other reason for
the criminal leniency towards people who
openly commit treason and tauntingly de-
fly the federal authority-a people who dis
grace the country and bring reproach up
on the government which tolerates their
corruption and crime

BsS~ The democrats who arc making a
fuss about the Assessor, law and trying to
make it anissue in the canvass, oughtto bear
it in mind that the bill was introduced by
DOnnelsoR, of Sumner, a democrat, and
was advocated and voted for by Dunning-
ton, the eAit Of the Union & American,
This question has been raised with view
to divert the popular mind from questions
which the democrats have no deire to dis
cuss, But it will not subserve their pur-
pose, The Americans who voted for it,
did so as an experiment. The law has
worked we'll in other States, and that fact
induced the belief that it might be an i'm
proycment upon our old plan. But it, ms
an experiment, it has failed, or if public
sentiment is against it, there is not an
American candidate in the State, who is
not willing to vote for its repeal. At the
same time, however that the question will
not be permitted to become an issue in
This canvass VIC should not loose sight OF
the fact that it is Of democratic origin
aud that the democrats are especially re,
spousible for it. We hope our candidates
will not be entrappcd into a discussion Of
this question, or Of any other that may be
sprung with view to keeping out Of sigh
those leading questions of vital Importance
which constitute the distinctive features
oil the american creed.

26y- The Banner, under the belief that
there will be no Convention, has hoisted the
name Of Gen. Zollicofer, for Congress. So
far, no movement has bas been made, by
the Americans, to nominate any other man,
and the failure to do SO, leaves the party
the option of sustaining him, or demo-
crat. For one, we have long since made
up our mind which to choose No mere
personal consideration shall ever force US
to turn aside from the straight forward ad-
vocacy of these great principles which the
American party is striving to build up
Viewing bogus democracy as the synonyme
of national dishonor and ruin, we can new
er consent to be directly, or indirectly in
strumental in the elevation of any one of
its members to position in which he may
WELD an influence detrimental, as it must
ever be to the best interests of our coun-
try. H. s5i -at Wig
AS matters now stand, and are likely to
stand, we are for Gen. zollicoffer; and
whilst we do not presume to advise others
as to the course they ought to adopt, we
venture to suggest that nothing is to be
gained to the American cause, by the
election Of sag nit and much is to be
lost by every concession to the enemies
who have pursued us with unparalleled
Ivindictiveness, and proven their readiness
to sacrifice everything of value to the Ma
ton, for the sake of party triumph. We
hope never to hear democratic shout Of
victory over this District, and certainly
such shout shall never be rendered more
discordant to our ears, by the reflection
that we aidedin achieving such triumph
Should Convention assemble and nomi
nate candidate, we are for him, whoever
he may be; but until then. we complete
our ticket by inserting the name of Gen
Zollicoffer. -'

No. Brigham Young takes the pc,

nA.- Brigham Young takes the posi-
tion-and it is legitimate-that, if the
doctrine of squatter sovereignty be true, the
federal government as no right to appoint
the officers of Territory. The admission
that the people Of territory pos iess,-as
Buchanan asserts-the same sort Of Sow
ereignty that pertains to State, necessa-
rily implies the power to choose their own
officers; and we do not see how man who
maintains the former, can deny the latter
And this sovereignty, conceded by the
democrats, is tending to another innova'
ton upon law and precedent Ifa Terri
tory may legislate upon slave property
to admit, or exclude tit may legislatC
upon other property; and it is evidentthat
the new States and Territories contemplate
the appropriation tothemselves, Ofthepub'

sovereignty is becoming monster evil.

q WHAT zen. JACKSON THOUGHT, ---Hero
is what Gen Jackson said Of the Public
Lands in his messuge of 1892
"Among the interests which merit the
consideration of Congress after the. pay
ment Of the public debt, one of the most
important, in my view, is that of the pubs
lie lands. Previous to the formation of
our present Constitution it was recon-
mended by Congress that portion of the
waste lands owned by the States should be
ceded to the United States for the purpose
of general harmony, and as fund TO meet
the expenses of the war. The recon-
mendation was adopted aud, at differ
ent periods Of time, the States of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York, Virgin
ia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia,
granted their vacant soil for the uses for
which they had been asked. AS the lands
may now be considered as being relieved
from this pledge, the object for which they
were ceded having been accomplished, it il
in the discretion of Congress to dipose Of
them in such way as best to conduce to the
quiet, harmony, and general interests Of
the American people" .Ls,
The Knoxville Wing is right in stating
that the Democracy of 1857 consider i
unconstitutional to legislate on the sub
ject, other than to give the lands to the for
eigners whom they desire to make Demo
Gratis of Gen. jackson was in favor o
distributing not only the proceeds of tn,
sales of these lands, but the lands them
selves.-kem Eagle
