Things 10 be Remembered.

That Gen. Houston is the father of the most
odious form of squatter sovereignty, and was
the advocate of alien suffrage, in its most hide
GUS aspect, by voting for the bill to admit Cali
fornia, which at the time and under the circum-
stances, was q gross fraud and outrage upon the
South. He has not repented of this, and "with-
ont repentance there is no remission OF SINS
REMEMBER,
That Gen. Houston voted against the Kansas
Nebraska bill because it repealed the Missouri
Compromise; and that every Southern Senator,
except Bell and Benton were against him.
Without repentance there is no remission OF
sins,''
REMEMBER,
That Gen. Houston forsook the Democratic
party at time when the know nothing party
threatened to envelop this entire land with its
cloud of heresies and remember that he has
not said one word against the principles of the
dark lantern order. Remember that although
he said that know nothingism was dead and bu-
ried, he will attempt to resurrect its remains

Inc uverlanq man TO the Pacific.

We take it for granted, now that the Attor-
ney General Of the United States has decided
that the contract with the Butterfeld Company
cannot be abrogated or changed, that the Over
land Mail to the Pacific may DO regarded SIS a
)settled thing and that hereafter it will grow in
the public favor The arrangement and uncer-
tainty of the Ocean lines will almost compel the
employment of the Overland Mail, and as the
contractors have already satisfied the public of
the regularity with which it may be carried, this
fact ought to recommend it to general favor. In
this conncxion, few facts may not be without
interest.
The first mail overland for California left this
city on the 10th September, 1853, and the first
mail arrived here, in return, on the 9th of Octo-
Der following. The first mail from st. Louis car
red out about fifty letters. The mail which ar
rived from San. Francisco on the 3lst ult.,
brought ninetecn hundred and eighty-seven let
ters, and that which was dispatched from this
city yesterday morning carried out one thousand,
seven hundred and rty letters The rate Of Of, iG M
much greater hereafter, as there Is no longer
any doubt of security of transportation on this
route. The number of letters sent from Mem
pbis, and all of the towns on tho route, cannot
be known to us, but they probably equal the
number made up at St. Louis. When the mail
was first started, the through matter was sent in
the smallest sized leather pouches used hy the
Department. 1t is now sent IN the largest SIZE
and the way mail is put ina second size bag.
The public will, we doubt not, be surprised to
hear, that sealed letter bag is made up in Lon
don for San Francisco, to go by this route in the
intermediate time of the departure of the Cali
loena steamer from New York three of these
bags have been received hero, and sent off in one
mail.
In point of regularity, no mail in the world
can equal this between st. Louis and San Fran
cisco. Since it was first ted. it has failed to
arrive in contract time only twice, and then the1
difficulty and delay was caused by the extreme
badness of the roads between Upton, in this
State, and Fort Smith. For the last two months
the trips have been made within twenty-threc
days, being at the rate of about one hundred
miles per day. If proper instructions were Civ
en- to the officers in the Post Office Department
in California and other States OF the Union, the
mail matter sent overland would soon be as much
as the coaches could carry. These instructions
should at once be issued. There is no propriety
in keeping lottcrs in various offices week or
two, for no other reason than they may be sent
by the Ocean route, now rendered more uncer-
tain than ever, by the disorganized state of the
companies proffering to do the service. Mails
can be, and are dispatched twice week from st.
Lou1s, and this route ought to be adopted,
throughout the country, as the best and most
expeditions means of communication with Cali
fornia.-&. Louis Republican.
