reliable source in our sister State of Texas:
CGLusHus, Texas Sept Is,
Mr.. Edtor.-Beng contiguous to our hourishfng
State, and being also an ardent supporter Of the
Union candidates, Messrs. Bell and Everett, ]
naturally suppose you would like to know tie
political complexion Of Texas. As You are aware,
the Independent candidates for State Offices were
badly beaten by the Galveston Democratic noulin-
atons, last August. The Democracy claim this as
triumph over Gen. Houston. No claims were
ever made, until after Gov. Houston's withdrawal,
that the result was test vote between Bell and
Breckinridse. However, be that as if may, the
conservative element Of Texas is now rallying
around the standard bearers Of the Constitutional
Union party. There have been Union or Bell clubs
formed in large number Of towns in the State
Galveston, Austin, San Antonio, TeXana, Columbus
and other places. Still the work goes on. We
have our Electors, and they are making vigorous
effort in behalf Of our common country. The
Electors are Geo. w. Phschal and B. II. Eperson,
for tie State at large Jno. Fl. Robson, Western
District and VIM. Steadman Eastern District. All
are men Of excellent ability-men who can cope
with the other Electors.
So, you see that although the State is claimed,
because Of the recent election, for Breckinridge
and Lane, the Union men are in good spirits and
are daily gaining ground.
believe there is an attempt to be made, on the
part Of the Union Electors, 10 fuse the ticket and
let the Electors Of BreGkinrdge and Lane and the
other candidates cast their votes for any candidate
TO beat Lincoln. Yours truly,
