Second District.
We give them for the purpose Of asking our cotem-
poraries everywhere i'll the State 10 report where they
live, who they are, and what is to be done with them
They have evidently presented themselves to an
| Abolition Convention representing party IN this
State. They went there as delegates divided oil into
classes four being from the State large aud two from
each district. Ilthere is Black Republican organz's
ton in Texas as this seems TO Indicate II Is high time
the people of our Stale were made aware OF the fact
If there is secret clan soil at work undermln-
ing institutions, let il be traced up, the vail that
hides it torn away, and let the PEOPLE visit upon It the

Or if these men went 10 Chicago and presented
themselves delegates without any authority, let that
be known. Let the people of Texas know the men
who have fouy sandered our State as to represent
that Anti Saverysm has ioohold here, and TO claim
for that account the attention of the AbOlioriss
The outrage is deep and black. Let those who have

and let not Texas wear the disgrace of having SER
pent in Der bosom, viii wants but AN opportunity to
bury its fags in her vitls and then in like manner de-

again That there was growing Free-Soil element in
Texas, and they have looked forward to the day when
belt of free soil should be made from Kansas TO the
Gulf. The fact that there representatives from
Texas in their Convention will encourage them in that
notion PERHAPS these very representatives are the
emisssries of that's party who seeking to accom-
psh that result. II is evident they must haze taken
deep interest in politics 10 have gone 30 far az they did
10 be present at the Chicago Convention II Is for
Texas TO take action the mort decided manner, and

Editors of Texas inquire for these men. Give their
names TO the Sheriff Of your County, and let their
