The Texas Plot.

Just as we are going to press, news
has arrived here from reliable
source, that twenty-five negroes have
been arrested, and are to be hung in
WaXahatchic today.
Our fcllow-citizcn, Mr.. II. l.. Cot

ccived by Thursdays mail, by his
niece in that place, from Mrs Bennett,
of Austin, giving an account Of 4
fearful attempt made about the 22d
of July, to reduce our State Capital to
a heap Of ashes. The daring expert
ment was made to set fire to some
twenty-five of the principal cdiliccs of
the city ; fortunately, however, the
flames were discovered and cxtin,
guished before any serious damage
had been sustained.
At present, says Mrs. Bennett, the
whole population are under arms, and
laboring under the most intense ex
element. A police force, consisting
of from sixty to ninety men, are main
tanning the strictcst system Of vigi
lance, by night and by day.

Another Platform.

The Bell-Everctt party at the South
has been obliged to crafty the popu-
lar demand for a platform on the
slavery question. Mr.. Bell could not
make new declaration of principles
without violating the conditions on
which he was nominated, but pam
phlct has been prepared under his
supervision, and substantially by him
self, made up Of extracts from his old
speeches, and letters touching slave
~, which is having a wide circula-
ton in the slave States 1t is inter-
preted by his friends there as com,
hitting him to doctrines and meas
ures for slavery and its extension
quite as ultra as those of the south
ern wing Of the Democratic party, and
is relied upon to give new prestige
and success to the Union movement
The pamphlet will not be circulated
at the North, and if it should be it
ought not to brighten out of their pro-
pricty the little handful of Unionists
who are DANGEROUSLY offering them
selves for sale in the market places,
with small prospect of a bid from
any quarter. The pamphlet platform
will undoubtedly help the Union par
ty in the extreme South, but it would
equally damage the party at the
North, if there were enough of it to
be damaged. Since there is not, it is
on the whole a shrcwd dodge.
