F,as- We had the pleasure Of a call Monday,
from The Hon. Rob't Taylor, of Fannin county, on
his way home from the Of the late disturbances
on the Rio Grandc lie represents that country as
being n very unsettled condition, and without the
prospect of quiet being restored, until the strong arm
Of the United States Government shall nterposc for
that purpose.
Col Taylor is commissioned to raise company Of
volunteers for service the Northwestern Frontier
lie thinks this field more inviting one than that
contemplated by the order Of the X. q. C's, and
would call upon all young men to rally to the help Of
our own citizens, rather than to adventure wildly into
the country of the greasers that offer neither fame
nor .r,nsure in reward for their excrtions.
The Colonel speaks in glowing terms OF the city Of
Galveston and her brilliant prospects, the hospitality
Of her citizens, her magnificent bridge, her boats and
her railroad. Galveston must be fine place, for he
y)is fascinated with its beauties.

: A1. ReseEe9, That we, the Democracy of
the Union, in Convention assembled, hereby
declare our afirmance of the resolutions u
unanimously adopted and declared as apiattorm
of principles by the Democratic Convention
in Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing
that Democratic principles are Interchangeable
in their nature, when applied to the same
subject matters; and we recommend, as the
only further resolutions, the following
A 62 RESOLVED, That it is the duty of the
limited States to afford ample and complete
protection to all its citizens, whether native
or foreign.
IS RcsoEged, That one of the necessities
of the age, in a military, commercial and
postal point of view, is speedy cOmmunica-
ton between the Atlantic and Pacific States,
and the Democratic party pledge such consti-
tutional government aid as will insure the
construction of railroad to the Pacific coast
at the earliest practicable period.
"4 ResoIve1, That the Democratic party
are in favor of the acquisition of the Island
of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable
to ourselves and just to Spain.
s:5. Resolrcd, That the cnactments of the
State Legislatures to defeat the faithful exc
cution of the Fugitive Slave Law, are hostile
in character, subversive of the Constitution,
and revolutionary in their effect"
