The Republicans Of the Capital city never before

AT the Texas Democratic Convention which took
place ut Galveston the I'd inst, Mr.. W. w. Leland
appeared as delegate On the morning of the second
day the Committee Credentials reported against his
adm ssion because he had voted for Fremont 10 1866
and had been Republican till year before going to
Texss, since which time hs had been Democrat. 1t
was then moved by Mr. Scheduled that the said W.
w. Leland be expelled from the Convention, which
was carried unanimously, the argument being that go
sudden conversion to Democracy could not be relied
upon. Msjor. Marshall conplimented Douglas and his
party by calling them the ssppeB and miners of the
Republicans. A series Of resolutions were passed re-
lapg to the protection of the frontier. One speaker
declared that the failure to protection owing
to the representations of Gen. Houston to the General
Government.
The Hen. w. II. Dimmick Of Pennsylvania, hth-
erto ranked supporter of Mr. Buchanan, has come
ont in favor of Mr.. Douglas for the Presidency. He
says;
az am forced to the conclusion that we are in
minority in nearly every Northern State, if not every
one. What then ia the fret point which presents il
self to one seeking for the best caaddate Evidently
our search must be for man who can bring outside
voea The candidate ranst not Only be UnsXcephousble
for abilities, for experience, for Democracy bat he
must have the power TO obtain saffrages from among
thoss who hese fer some years past aCed against Us.
Without this latter, it appears impossible that We
shonld succeed this PAIL and The desire to succeed is
at this conipncture, sentiment which is identical With
II patriotism. Who, then, Of tAe, candidates asn
draw from the Opposition the necessary votes, aad
win for the great battleH In looking tbs hst
Of names that " ii be presented tothe Charleston Cn-
WDtion, only discover one with which we can make
an iproad upos the epcmy. Ilisre are a Number o.

would probably be equivalent TO IA election; the non
