LIST That every democrat can consist
entity vote for the nominees of the hous-
ton convention. for the reason that upon /
all praciioai lssues these nominees agree I
with them, while Houston, Clark, x Co.
do no, The African slave trade IS nat a
practical question. and has been seized
hold Of by the friends of Houston to d.
vert public attention from a eonsidera-
ton Of his 81 ACk RECORD If Messrs.
Runnes aud Lubbock do entertain senii-
mcnts contrary to a majority of the peo-
pie on the question of the rc-opening OF
the African slave trade. the, have very
wisely remained silent instead of endcav-
oring 10 distract the democratic party
with this scnscless question We say
scnselcss, because scarcely member OF
Congress. even in the extreme south
could bc elected advocating the re-
opening this trade and, it it were pop
nar IN the extreme South, the votes ct
the slavc-biccdiug States Of Virginia
Kentucky, Tennessee. Mary land, ami
Missouri. embracing numerically large
majority Of the slave States, would Ice
cast against it. The North would vote
unanimously against the re-openmg OF
tins trade Hence it is folly to talk about
the rc-opcuing Of the African slave trade
a. apoluical question. and sensible dem
ocrats are not 80 bee deceived aud forget
their y,.i interests upon an abstract qBe--
ton like this On thi, subject Massrs.
Runucl- aud Lubbock have given No a.d
and comfort to Houston This is waelc
the shoe p.nchcs For one, we care 10
more abon. their Opinions on this sub
jcct, than we do about their opinions as
