The Truth at Last.


! Wehnve Just received the published circular o.
| A. D. Burress, the know nothing candidate for the
| Legislature from Harrison county. H. was the reg
u!ar know nothing nominee four years ago, and wa:
elected there being twelve candidates in the field
Mr. Bu1ress s out in favor of his first principles and
openly endorses them Although his circular comes
out just the OF the election, and too late tc
affect the race for Governor at distance, the facts
are as he states in regard to Gen. Houston's opir-
ions on this subject lie supports Houstol. and rea-
sons conclusively that Jackson democracy as enun-
cated by Gen. Houston, is the as Amerioanism:
Hear his own words
az stand to-day where stood then, American
in principle and feeling. l I'm deeply imbued
with s great principles as in the hour Of its prosper
ify know it is said the American party is dead,
and Gen. Houston is represented having said in
The Gube1natoriai canvass Of 1861 that it was not
only dead, but buried with ts face downwards. But
that euiL ent man, late April 1858, in speaking
Of the naturalization Of foreigners and their being
allowed to vote, used the following language in the
! United States Senate NJ think fire years short
enough, aad If the period rere four times as long,
! do not think il lCoulG BE too much
"Has Cen Houston, fellow citizens, ever receded
from the position he assumed relative to the dangers
10 be apprehended to institutions from the innuS
cf foreigners and the propagation Of the Catholic re-
ligion? Four years ago be defended the secrecy OF
I the Order, and openly proclaimed that Washington
anil jackson had been the members of secret p0lt-
cal organizations and that if they were living they
would both sustain the American Order"
g In declaring myself a candidate, | wish it dis.
;iuetly understood, that am for Gen. Sam Houston
| for Governor, and If hedesres il, which believe he
does for United States Senator. If we eject hin
Senator what will we lose by it7 Will not. Col. Ed
ward Clark ill the Gubernatoris chair a man whom

"N0@ it does seem 10 me, fcllow-otzens, that il
we cannot endorse without equvocstiOn, Gen. Hous-
q ton e coaree as Southern man il We by our &C.
tons, manifestly show that We believe that he cas-

The above extracts are convincing proof that I'll
know rothnes Of the State are acting in full faith
end in the belief that Gen. Houston stil entertain
the came opinions on Americansr, that be did fou
and t7vo yenrs- ago. Mr.. Burrsss ststes the fact
