BE3S~ The year 1861 is likely to witness the total
disruption of what was once the best government
on earth. Established as Republic with ballot
box guarded by wholesome restraints, elections con-
fined TO the legislative branches of State and Fcde-
raj governments, and Judiciary placed beyond
the reach of popular caprice and party bias, it Sc
cured all of rational freedom that wise policy can
bestow upon man. But the radical idea of the lar
gest liberty was seized upon by demagogues as a
beautiful hobby on which to ride into Office, and
one safeguard after another was pulled down until
liberty became the synonyme of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and
the pillars of the temple are too rotten to sus
tain the supcrstructure.

WHEREAS, There has been, and yet is, great ey-
element in the public mind, arising from various
causes, touching our relations with the Federal
Government and many of the States, and portion
of the people have expressed desire that the Leg
islaiure should be convened in extra session and
whereas, the Executive desires that such measures
should be adopted as will secure free expression
OF the popular will through the baot-box upon
the question at ISSUE involving their peace interest
security and happiness aud the action of the whole
people be made known in relation to the course
which 1t may be proper and necessary for Texas,
as one of the States of the Union to pursue in or
der TO maintain, ii possible, her rights in the Union,
as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, and
whereas, our frontier is invaded by Indians and
lives of citizens taken and their property stolen and
destroyed, and whereas, the treasury is without
means either to defend the frontier or most the or
binary expenses of government
Now therefore, Sam Houston, Governor of the
State of Texas for the reasons herein set forth do
hereby issue my Proclamation, ordering the Leeis-
lature of the State of Texas TO convene in extra
session at the Capitol, in the city of Austin.

BsA- The capture Of Forts Moultrie and Pinck-
ney by the mob from Charleston confirms the opin-
ion we have often expressed that it is the intention of
South Carolina TO force the other slave States to
her aid by bringing a collision with the Federal
Government. Fearing settlement of existing diff
fcultes, South Carolina has spurned the idea of CO.
operation and to defeat it. has not hesiated to heap
the grossest insults upon the border slave States
Her course has been such as no conservative man
can approve, and we do hope that the other slave
States will not suffer any false sympathy to infu-
ence them to lend their counteuance to n policy
that smacks Of nothing but i-advised revolution
headed by men of desperate character From the
beginning, South Carolina has evinced the most
sovereign contempt for her sister slave States and
settled determination to break up the Unionregard-
less of any action, North or South, to save it by
honorable means; and now the other slave States
owe it to their own honor and interests to strive t.
save it. by cooperation, leaving the Palmetto State
the Massachusetts, of the South" to paddle her
own canoe even if it 60 to the bottom. We be
lieve that the Union can be saved only by co-Dpe
ration in firm demand for redress and that il car
be saved by this means but the naughty sssump
tions and contemptuous spirit of South Carolina
preclude the idea of asking her aid or consulting
her wishes. If she is anxious to get into a fight
let her prepare for it on cher own hook" withou
aid or sympathy to which she has forfeited al
claim by spurnng BOTH and by insulting those from
whom she might have expected the most efficient
assistance-the border States.

y pEH. The year lsGo is remarkable for the uuM-
Der Of special committees to investigate the frauds
of the most corrupt Administration that ever dis
graced this Government And a most striking ey-
idence of the incompctcncy or connivnnce Of the
heads of departments is furnished by the fact that
they profess to have known nothing Of The thcyiug
going on right under their noses. The Postmaster
General knew nothing Of the stealing, by Fowler,
of two hundred and odd thousand dollars nor Of
the fifty thousand stolen 10y the Postmaster in New
Orleans. Nobody knew Of the swuilug, by the
Secretary of War, in the Fort Smelling and other
cases, and the Secretary Of the Interior knew moth
ing of the stealing, by one Of his ovn CLERKS, OF
eight hundred thousand dollars, The money
stolen by officials, and corrupty ayishol upon par-
tisans, for the las, four years, would very nearly
pay the public debt, and this Is the wor, of party
that has boosted Of il, economy aud honesty in nd,

Eg,Y- Andy johnson has been hung in eiligy, in
Memphis and Nashville, on account Of his speech in
the Senate, on secession. We are opposed to all
such demonstrations because they inculcate revolu-
tionary feelings and stimulate the baser passions of
the human heart withoue>lbe probability of any
compromising good. Nor is Andy so much to blame
