it is primarily to protect the State from such hos

And uhereas, we are continually in such emmnent
danger of being invaded by said hostile Indian
tribes, as will not admit of delay therefore,

READ, LAw-MAKERs.-"The Supreme Court of
Indiana, made decision which has an important
bearing upon the interests of the newspaper
press. controversy existed relative to charge
for advertising between the Commissioners Of
Hamilton County and the Patriot newspaper. 1.
was held by the Judge that 'the published terms
of newspapers constitute contract, If work is
given to newspape 'shcrs, without special
contract contravei published terms, the
publisher can char 4 receive according to the
terms no published, 1t is not necessary to prove
what the work cost, or was worth the publish
ers haze the right to fix the value upon their
columns, and if so fixed, no other question need
be asked, but the price thus charged can be re-
covered"
Now, we rather think that doctrine will hold
good against our Solons. We believe the Cover
nor is bound by the constitution to have the
proclamations published in every paper in the
State but the terms Of pay are no where laid
down, and the published rates of the papers must
be the standard. The Supreme Court will so de-.
eide il, too. when it reaches that tribunal The
law is clearly unconstitutional Mark that

II The Frontier Bill, now awaiting the sanction
of Gov. Houston, is sufficiently ample to satisfy the
requirements of the large extent of country it is in
tended to benefit. The only objection that the From
tier can urge against it, in opinion, is that men
from all parts Of the State raise companies, and
offer them for service. 1t that it would have
been better if the companies to lie raised were con-
fined to the section Of country designed for their ope
-rations. Men, living the Frontier, and well ac-
ouanted with the habits and mode of warfare Of the
Indians, and having an immediate interest in driving
back the Savage, would he active and deermin-
ed in their operations. AS for our own immediate
portion of the Frontier, have fears, especially
when we know that such men as Hammer and others
will use their utmost diligence and will raise picked
companies Of men Injured to privatons, and devoted
to the interests of the country in which they live.
Other men may do the same-but they, it is natural
to suppose, will be most energetic. where their inter-
est and the welfare OF their homes and families call
for prompt action.
n the bill should not receive the sanction of the
Governor, it will prove serious disappointment to
large portion of the State, that feels deeply this
subject. The ordering Of only one two companies
into service, will be Of little avail. where 60 long
line Of country exposed 1t is to be hoped that the
whole extent of Western Frontier will be protec-
ted, and not one portion over another.

Our talented contemporary Of tho Texas Enquirer,

he does not tell that big gun hrel in honor Of

We not shocked at the modesty Of the Editor, but
pleased and proud that he fit to enter into
the spirit Of the meeting, in which call wero inspired
with truly Southern feeling forgetting old party
stIfs and evincng willingness to risk our rights
to the protection and care of Col. Wigfall." The
South has no truer and ADLER friend than Col Yco-
mans-nor one who takes n deeper interest in her
welfare; although ho saw fit, during the last cam
pagn to oppose the regular Democratic nominees, he
has never, far are informed, faltcred in his
devotion to the Rights of the sates, and of the South
in particular.
The demonstration at Rusk is represented rs bril-
liant affair, barring the groans deep and loud that
assembled from the joyous crowds. We are happy to
hear of these evidences Of popular feeling, but must
dissent from such lugubrous sounds as groans, on
such occasions, when introduced to heghten the
dramatic effect against obnoxious individuals. The

BgG" That excellent Democratic Paper, the State
upon the election of Hon. L. 7. wigra to the Sem
ate. 1t is cheering to the heart Of every Democrat,
that step by step, the Democracy arc regainng the
ground lost in the last campaign. We hail this cleo
ton as triumph, and honestly believe that it will
do to unite the divisions and Discussions in tho
party than any event that could probably have &C.
CURED. We have met and buried many diiferent es
over the election of sterling States Rights man to n
high and responsible Office. That his election is dis
distasteful to the opposition might be expected but
true Democrats, under whatever colors' for the time
sailing and into whatever service they may be tempo
rarily pressed will rejoice that the sound stad and
steady organized Democracy have trumphed. We
claim to be an Organizer, and would repudate with
our last breath the baneful effects Of DISCRIMINATION
and faction. Organization is the eystone of the
arch, remove it, and the noble structure falls to
pieces in ruins around us, crushing not only the
daring hand that has touched its strength but
the devoted followers who have ventured their every
hope of patriotism upon il perpetuity.
The Gazette and every Democratic paper in the
State that we have seen, rejoice over the success of
Wigfall We leave it to the discounted opposition to
whine and whmper, and lament over the failure Of
their petty tricks to defeat his election The most
paltery of these tricks was the effort to brake the
quorum in the LOUISE in order to interrupt the bal
lting Many left the Hall, and We have not heard
whether they have a yet returned. We would not
have been overly pleased to learn of much rejoicing
amongst these at such victory, 1t would argue
that they lad some claim to him, and venture to
assert that in less than one month they will claim
wigfll's election opposition, onti-democr0tic,
ant-Statc Rights victory.
