Cen. Sam Houston on the stump.

AT a public meeting at Hampstead, Texas,
on the 18th uitino, Gen. Sam Houston ad-
dressed the people, and the following ac-
count Of bis remarks We clip from the Galse
ton News:
lie spoke at length of the advantages Tex-
as had derived from the SO OOO, 900 obtain
ed by himself and Gen. Rusk tor the sale OF
cur territory. lie abused President Pierce
said he was a small man. very small-sald
be tainted OF the battle field 10 Mexico, &c
lie abused Douglas, calling bin a puppy. &c.
He spoke of the Mexican pro,ectOrate, which
be had advocated; regretted the defeat OF his
bill; said if be was u younger man aod could
get the approval of his conscience to the mes-
sure, be might be willing to lead a f'ibuster-
Jog expedition into Mexico. He said the
North had US dow; that the foot OF the North
is on our neck1, and that We could not help
ourselves. He said the North. 10 case Of
resistance by us, could easily take possession
of all our icrts in the country; that the West
alone could take possession OF New Orleans,
and with 40 army OF tw millions could hold Us
in subsection. lie declared himself an advo-
cate OF the Union. lie said tina, Yancey, and
all men like him, ought to be pot 10 a mad
house. lie said he bad opposed the Kansas
Nebraska act, aud was still opposed TO it.
lie attributed all our troubles to he passage
OF that act. lie argued in support Of the
Missouri compromise and said it should never
have been repealed.
From this it will appear that the veteran
Of San Jacinto and the republic of Texas,
though used up as a politician ard placed
upon the retired lit, has still a good deal OF
the old fire of the Jackson flint 10 his bones.
lie seems. however, since bis return to Texas,
to have lost that dignity and dscorum $hicb
marked, on all occasions, his discussions IN
the Senate; Tor be has allen into the bad hat-
it Of rough denunciations and ugly manners.

gulph all. The union of a few manly spirits,

what Cigars arc Made or.

The New York correspondent Of the
Scoharie Republican. who, it may be presum,
ed, is dcmiciIed in the neighborhood of the
Custom House, gives the following revelation
of the component materials of real Hava-
mas" We copy it for the benefit OF those
who inhale, or suppose they inhale. The fra
grant weed. 1t shows the doubt which hangs
over, not only what We drink, but also what
We smoke:
Talking Of cigars, I was told by a gov
ernment appraiser, a few days since, the fol-
lowing true story in connection With the CT
gar trade of this city: A large German i'm
porting house had received 40 invoice OF tor
eign cigars, which were appraised by the
custom officer at three dollars per thousand.
The importers were dissatisfied, and asked
for a re-appraisement, which was granted;
and under the most positive evidence, sup
ported by the oath Of the dealers, the cigars
were admitted at a valuation Of 81 81 per
thousand. Now the evidence alluded to was
this, that not a particle of tobacco entered 10
to the composition of said cigars, but that
they we're not wholly composed of oak and
other leaves soaked 10 a strong tobacco ley.
| understa nd that large quantities OF these
real Havanas' find their way into the interior,
and from the experience | have had in that
line, / am inclined to believe that q few .pe-
cimens might be found even among the pri-
mitive society of ODD Scoharie.'"
