Eas" \ prominent citizen of Mckinney,
an Old Line Wing writes to us and makes
the following useful suggestions. 1t is ev-
idcnt to every one except those who labor
under the blind idea that Gen. Houston acts
by divine inspiration, that the Governor
has districted the Statc.wthout the shadow
Of law or precedent, when general ticket
for the election Of delegates, should have
been presented to the people. The social
ed Unionss had vagu. idcn that they
would follow the example set by the free
delegates to the Convention, hoping to see
the thing 60 by default. They have been
caught in their own toils--thc Convention
will meet, will act and do the right thing
in despite Of them. Our Correspondent
says:
CAS- the time for the election of dele
gates TO the Southern Convention is fast
approaching, it becomes all who desire to
have the will of the mhoie pcople Of Texas
fsirly represented, to enquire by what au-
thority Gov. llous on has taken the liberty
to divide the State into districts.
| He has no such power given him by the
resolutions under which the election is or
lered.-Scc Cession Acts, Page, 2S3, '2s4.
Under those resolutions, it is the privilege
of every voter in Texas to vote for the whole
number of delegates to be elected. If in this
districting, the Governor has been in any
manner guided by his predictions, are the
questions now before the people, land who
doubts that he has not?) the will of the CHI
| tire frccmcn of the State, may be unfairly
expressed by the delegates that are to be
elected.
