during the present campaign but We believe that
the design is too transparent to deceive many Of the
"bone and sueW" class they cannot take Houston

give their votes FOR man who two years ago, was SC
obnoxious to them as to be beaten by an oyerwhem-
ing majority, II was the democracy that defeated
Houston then, aud they will defeat him again We
quote from the Galveston News the following
On the other hand, we may safely defy any man 10
show that Gen, Houston has ever recanted or dis
avowed n single one Of the doctrines Of the Know
Nothing party, all Of which doctrines he lately took
solemn onth % Fnpport. Indeed, he has proclaim
ell on various occasions that, although the party IL
deal he still entertans the same sentiments. On
various occasions he has vindicated his Oregon vote
and his undying opposition to the Kansas-Nebraskn
bill eIn the very last speech we have ever heard oil
his making on the subject of the Missouri Compro-
mise line he declared that his opinion was still I'M
changed and that the repeal Of that law setting Inn
its to the extension Of slavery, was most nlquitous
measure, and yioatiye Of the plighted faith OF the
South. Aud he even went rs far MS Seward or any
other Abolitonist has ever gone in hs condemna-
ton of the bred Scott decision, declaring that though
| that decision was made 10y the Supreme Court, his
opinion was still unchanged, and he would do all
he could all he could TO restore what he
called that sacred compact between the North and
South Nor has he ever avowed my change in his
sentiments since The time lie declared his willingness
to support Black Republican President, proclaim
ing that he could not even de clicked out Of The Union,
and that if Fremont was elected he would bow in res
pectful homage to his administration. Nor has he
ever expressed any retaction Of the sentiments he
uttered on The floor of Congress when he delivered
his culogy on the 5000 abolition preachers declaring
that he considered them "the yicegerents of eayen.
We therefore repeat that Gcna. occupies precisely
the same position politically now that lie anu TWO
wears ogo and holds the sentiments that then
brought against him the united opposition OF the de-
mocratic party and effected his overwhelming defeat
Lot tln people of Texas reflect upon these facts,
