Texes Titles.

The following good hit at the Generals, Colonels,
Majors and Captains, to be found in every town, and
city in State, is taken from the Sabine Pass Times
word to the wise is sufficient and after this we hope
that many of them will drop these superhuites. I'M
agne the just indignation Of the good woman as she
kicked one dog, gave another a sockdolnger in the
ribs, and beabored the third with the broomstick-
and why? Because, the thing ridiculous to
see so many highsounding titles travelling together
1t was more than common sense could bear:
"On the great Texan thoroughlare that runs
through our parish an excellent old lady-very
clever, very shrewd, but poor-kept house OF
entertainment. Upon one occasion IL was her
fortune to entertain for the night batch of these
gentry and AZ she passed in and out of the
common sitting-room, intent upon her household
cares her ears were stunned with the lofty titles
of General Colonel and "Maj or. lavishly
bestowed upon each other by the guests. Sick
of so much military greatness, she approached
the fire around which they were assembled, and
proceeded to administer hearty kicks to several
dogs, comfortably snoozng before the fire, accom-
panying each kick with the exclamation, get
out, General Begone, Colonel Out, Major -
One of the magnates, with ill-concealed anger,
remarked "Why, madam, you have singular
names for your dogs 90 yes" she naively
answered, "any NANCY pup may be General or
Colonel now a days."

n.sJ" We publish in to-d.ys issue, the Inaugural
addresses Of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
They are before our readers. who will judge for them
selves, Of their merits and dement's. We hope that
the reliance of the Governor upon Federal aid for
frontier protection, may not be misplaced, and as
misconccved his preference for moral suasion over
physical force, to subdue the savage The people of
the frontier look for immediate hep--ook to the
ecutiye for assistance, and nothing short Of active
means for that purpose, will reassure them. The eff
feet of moral suasion will appear ridiculous to them
as "singing psalms to dead horse Tie strong
arm, and sure aim of the Ranger will do more to drive
back the savage, than all the morality of the State
combined. Immoral suasion has never awaited, and
neither will the moral power or influence of the Ex-
ecutiye
That portion of the inaugural which we think most
oLiectional and to which have heard the greatest
opposition expressed is that pertaining to the Federal
relationship of Texas. 1t is true that " she did not
enter the North, into the South" but it is equal
Ily rue she entered rs an eqtal-and as such will
make her influence felt. in al the great questions that
sgitate the country. If Gen. Houston would claim for
Texas, State of Neutrality the absorbing ques-
in the false position of slave State, quietly submit
ing to the aggressions Of the dominant Northern
jority. The slave States in hopeless minority,
and the acts Of aggression, are too fresh in the
cries of all to be denied Shall Texas stand tamely
by with closed mouth when her sister States are in
volyed, and her soil polluted with the presence
of abolition emissaries-and not raise her voice in
condemnation of such unhallowod proceedings p
Would the Governor of the State of Texas barter
away her privileges and rights for the sake of mere
unioasml Texas entered the Union as an equal, and
therefore has the right to be heard oil the absorb
ing questions of the day she cannot and will not re-
main neutral.
We are unwilling to raise unnecessary objections
to the sentiments of the Inaugural but tho Governor
has placed her in false position, in regard to ques
ton of vital interest to her citizens. Every South
crn State through its Executive has spoken unadu-
terated Southern sentiments, in regard to our domss
tic institutions-and why should not Texas take a
ttlnd equally as decided Equality is her due, with
all its privileges and she will assert her rights,
"Abolitionisn has been met by Dsunion docs
lie mean that disuuion exists only in the South when
in fact It is the very element of Abolitionsm in the
North, and is tenfold stronger there than in the
SOUTH This is truly dangerous position-but with
unionists it is the fashion to denounce the devoted
friends of slavery whenever they dare assert their
Constitutional rights. The old Hero has placed Texas
! IN false position

tin correspondence of the Mckinney Messenger
a. plan has been set on foot at this place by
those who profess to be opposed to every sort OF
political organization, for the purpose oil org an
i1ing party to defeat the Democratic party in
the next presidential election. They have held
several meetings for this purpose, very correct
account of which YOU will find in tho state Gaz-
cite of the Oath inst. Maj Bogart attended one
Of the meetings, and upon being called by the
crowd made a speech, but he does not sympat hizG
with the measures, nor approve OF the proceed
ings and objects of the new organization"
We are pleased to see that Major Bogart does not

doubtful arms of the Opposition The same cores
rondent of the Messenger says:
The excitement about the cortinas war has
nretty much died out. The Governor was applied
to Yesterday to order out another Company to
