LATER FROM TEXAS.
From The Ne,o- Orleans Dcifd Of Jan. 8

From The Seo Orleans Deifd Of Jan. 3.
BY the arrival Of the steamship Charles Morgan We
have received our files of Galveston papers TO the
3lst ult.
We find the following items of news:
Senator Britton writes from Austin that il Is his
opinion that majority of both Houses are III favor OF
the resolutions introduced by John Henry Brown, IN
relation 10 the African slave trade.
TIE State gazette learns that the Committee on
Slaves and Slavery have important report under
consideration which is well calculated TO disseminate
just and proper views on the Southern question, aud
TO awaken the public mind 70 the crisis
Tile Southern learns that $1,000 were subscribed
BY the preachers Of the Conference for the purpose
of purchasing steam press for Tile Tcras Christian
Adroeate, and building publishing house in the City
TTe Jferson Herald says II ia now established that
the cotton crop ,f that region will not reach an aver
age. Many planters who, before the frost, supposed
that they would not be able TO gather their crops are
now done picking.
Gov. Pcase delivered his yaledctory on the 2lst
uli. and on the same day Gov. Runnes delivered his
inaugural Gov. Runnels deyotes most OF his address
TO discussion Of Federal politics. He denounces
Walker as the proxmate of the loss of Kansas,
if il il lost. We extract the following:
"lear BY wear the South is becoming weaker, the
North growing stronger. That equilibrium has been
DESTROYED which afforded tie only sure and permanent
guaranty Of protection against Abolition innovation.
Ii the argument has not bees exhausted It has be-
come p0werle.s and impoten; from the lips OF south
eru men For the future TO the North must be left the
management and control OF question which involves
union or dissolution, peace or war.
"In view of these facts, it bohoOves us earnestly
and calmly 10 look forward 70 the impending danger,
for the problem may soon be solved Of the adequacy
of constitutional restrictions and paper guarantees
to inerpo.e sufficient barriers to the lust Of an az
eressiye and dominant sectional majority. Should
tlns proposition be decided in the negative do not
hesitate to believe that the determination Of Texas
will be taken to assume the guardianship Of her own
destnics and bid adieu To a nneeon 10 longer con-
.iseut with the rights, dignity ana honor Of an equal
and independent state For while disruption would
be great calamity. it is not n the language of Mr..
Jeff son the greatest that could besll W.; there
remains one Sc. greater-.ubmi,son 70 government
Of unlimited powers.
Under these apprehensons prudence would die
tate that our hou,, should be set in order and due
preparation made tor the crisis that tg be fore
,hadowed by coming events; this should be'dole not
for ofer-e but for defense only. No reasonable effort
should he spared to that thorough organization
and training indispensable to the liberties OF every
Free State as auxiliary TO this, liberal course of
policy should be pursued TO insure the organization Of
volunteer companies; 10 pressing forward team early
completion the works of in1ernal Improvement inds-
peusabe to the wants If commerce and agriculture
and again in disseminating information among the
uasses through the medium If our systems OF educa
tion These all important in constituting our pco
uIe ur,epoTous, happy and independent.
