was considered ursouud and unreliable in his poti-
cal record, having announced distinctly from his
place In the Senate that he had left the Democratic
party, and was then found Gshtiug against the or
gan.aed Democracy, what could those Democrats who
remained true to the principles and usages OF the
party, do but doubt the man who. II was said,
endorsed one Of known unsoundnessI These doubts
Of Mr. Duchanan's soundness helped greatly to dis

thnt Mr. Buchanan endorsed the disorgauiaug action
of Gen Houston in running against the regular nom
inee of the Democratic State Convention, how could
men trust Mr.. Buchanan, who was himself the nomi-
nee Of convention, and the great exponent of Dem
ocratic principles and usGges? Democrats were mis-
tilted at the abnormities which presented themselves
and bewildered at the inconsistencies that met them at
every turn They were perplexed, aj oco al nahum.

delighted and amused each other by calling the Pres

politicians can alone invent. 1t is still fresh in every
mind-evep the IN st treacherous memory-thnt Cen
Houston himself led the van Of the Know Nothing
campaign, and sustuincd Mr. Fillmore in open and
uuJ.ssu.sed preference to Mr. Buchanan. This same
party led On 10y houston, Bob Taylor, Eppcrson,

II whose chief supporters have ever since the
election claimed him us member of the American
party, and the victory triumph of their illiberal
policy? These questions were honestly asked during
the late campaign and Notwithstanding the efforts of
the Democracy, Gen. Houston was elected, and claim

The republication of the Gazette's article, is the
first step towards an awakening that we have seen,
and it is to be hoped that the doubt will be cleared
up, and the Opposition deprived of their borrowed
plumage. The Administration is likely to be one of
the brilliant in the history of the Republic and
the name of Mr. Buchanan enshrined in the affections
of the people with an intensity that finds parallel
alone in the spotless career of Gen. Washing

Representatives in Congress are alive to the impor-
lance of having our frontier protected. With such a
delegation, Texas need not fear that her interests will
be neglected. We are happy to note the action of

already fulfilled the highest expectations Of his
friends, as able and fearless debater, and as n
