The Democracy Of Texas, who are strenu-
ously engaged in the benevolent effort Of
"humanixing and Christianizing the African
race" by means Of the peculiar institution,
which Gen. Dodge regards as admirably
adapted to that end, don's seem disposed TO
permit the preachers to have anything to do
with the matter. We published some weeks
ago tho movement of the Texan shareholders
against the Methodist Bishop and Confer
ence, and We have since received Texas pa
per giving the proceedings Of another meet
ing directed against another branch of the
church. The individual who excited the
wrath of the slaveocraoy in this instance used
to be citizen of Iowa, and was, We under
stand sound and consistent Democrat. He
labored as preacher, We believe, in Davis
county and some counties of the State farther
west, where ha left . fair reputation and many
friends. His Democratic friends in that Sec
ton will, We doubt not, be greatly surprised
to learn that his Democracy does not pass
current in the South, but that his views, which
are identical with those OF the Iowa Democ-
racy. are regarded as rank, pestilent and dan
gerous aboli.ionism. And az they read the
proceedings they will be shocked to learn
that m Iowa Democrat, although a preached
OF the gospel, is not allowed to live amongs
the pure Democracy Of Texas.
The Dallas county Herald contains lengthy
proceedings Of a large and respectable meet
ing Of the citizens of Dallas county, which
express q vast deal Of indignation agains,
preachers from the North, and proclaim the
intention Of the people to drive them out
We extract only two of these resolutions,
which are - follows:
Resolved, That while we 40 people, be.
lieving in the justice and righteousness Of
our institutions, neither wish nor attempt TO
force our views and principles upon any other
section or community, We will not tolerate
but will strenuously oppose any attempt
public or private, to foist upon Us any set oil
principles or practices, hostile to the institu
ton of slavery, and will expel from our Dor
ders any emissary, missionary, agent or pri
vate individual that may attempt to propa
gate such views.
Resolved, That we particularly have ref
erence TO one Parson Solomon Mckinney
against whom we have ample testimony K
warrant rs in believing him guilty of dis
seminating doctrines Of the tendency abcv,
referred to; and we take this means Of pro
testing against the dangerous sentiments b.
has preached to our slaves; and that "
take this Opportunity OF warning him to sesi
field where tho sentiments of the people ar
more congenial to his own, and not agaii
attempt topreach in this community.
The following editorial OF the Herald ex
hints the spirit Of the Democracy Of th
South, which constitutes four-fftbs Of tn
effective Democracy Of the country and con
trolls the party entirely.
Says the Herald:
That the ''Cow Country,o az our sectio
Of the State is called, il sound on the slave
qsertion, and opposed to lite agitation. una
be gathered from the proceedings or the pul
lie meetings held in Dallas, last Friday al
Saturday. The people Of this county ha
abolition doctrines OF certain individual
and determined to rectify the matter in /
very incipiency, and prevent ~ far as poss
BILE . recurrence OF such things in their mids
Hence they resolved to mobilize the preac
erin plain words, to give him his waikiki
papers, and start him from the spot tn
seemed uncongenial, and too hot for the Q
spression Of Frse-soil or Abolition sentiment
Testimony was introduced to convict b;
