NEXT prNoCRArIc STATE CONVENTION ---
The next Democratic State Convention is
appointed to meet at the city Of Houston
on the first Monday in May next tom-
nations are to be made for Governor,
Lieut. Governor, and Commissioner Of the
General Land Office We are not ad.
vlscd whether nominations for Congress
will be made at the Houston Convention,
or at scperate Distric, Conventions.
IL the next Convention is to be a real
representation OF the sentiment and will
of the Democracy. and is to send its
nominees into the field, with the moral
force of fairly expressed preference Of
the party, the people should begin to
think about the matter, 80 that they may
act nnders,andingy, when the time for
holding their county Conventions arrives.
49, Dallas H,raM.
Every Democrat in the State ought to
desire this, and the way to accomplish II
will be to hold meetings in every county
and send delegates to represent them in
the Convention. The delegates ought to
be fresh from the people and -eli.con-
stituted representatives Of counties
should not be allowed Let the Democra-
cy have bora fds representation, and
let every county in Texas have q chance
to express the sentiments of its people
and to be heard. This will be fair and
Just. Noonc can object to it State Gas.

LATE CoNGRE AND THE AM1NIsTRA-

merce, an independent and influential
journal, says fw cases have arisen, un
der any administration, demanding a
higher order of executive talent. or a more
comprehensive craftsmanship than have
been demanded by the extraordinary con-
currence of events affecting our country's
interest and honor during the last few
mouths. 1t is fortunate for the country,
and especially fortunate for the cause OF
republican government, that we have in
the executive chair, at the heads of de-
partmcnts and in Congress, men equal to
the emergency, and that from all the con-
fusion and threatened danger, the gov
