Texas MeNiCaniLed,

The secession movement in Texas, clearly
unconstitutional, even if we consider that
State to be as independent as it was before
annex ation, and hence justly regarded by
Gov. Houston as a nulliy, is bearing the gen
uiuo fruits of the Mexican style Of politics
which it initiates. There are now two State
Governments in that commonwealth, the one
Legitimate and regular, and the other withou
constitutional authority, a m"Te mob usurpa.
tiol. Sam Houston is the right(u Governor
of the State having neither resigned nor been
impoavhe !, nor got rid of in any legal man
ner. The rev evJlutonists, on the other hand,
have sworn in Lieutenant Governor Clark az
Governor, and recognize his authority, to the
utter reputation of General Houston.
Thus there are two rival Governments"
in full blast in Texas, at this moment, afs,
! the most approved Mexican method. We
trust Gov. Houston will firmly maintain hi
ground, with whatever force he can rally,
and promptly call upon the United S ates
Government for help; to put down the rebel
lion az ,inst both him and itself, Such Il
! demand would not be refused, and the three
thousand troops traitorously disbandcd by
! Twiggs, in that State, should be re. organized
and kept in that quarter, where their services
are so much needed. The Administration
win commit grave error, if it alio rs thes,
troops 10 be Withdrawn from Texas at pres
ent, unless others are sent o supply Their pla
ces, to aid Goy. Houston in maintaining law
and order. n gold opportunity is thus
presented to strike blow for the Union, ant
to demonstrate to the genuine Union men, al
through the rebel S ates, that The Govern
ment is prepared to sustain them, with all il
power, in all loyal attempts to put down ih'
secession usurpers and to uphold the coasti
tutional authority of the nation Gazete,

WHAT'S nm Abnlitionist

The question as to the mearing attached
by Sou,herers to the word "Abolitionist, )" l.
answered by The Editor of the Southern Lit
erery Messenger, published in Rchmond
Va, n periodical which is supposed to con-
tain the concentrated essence of S)u h.n
Literature, Silence aud Art" The E litor
says:
An aboliionist is any man who does not
love slavery for its own sake, rs a divine in.
stituiol; who does not worship it rs the cor
ner.slone of civil liberty; who dos not adore
it as the only social system on which a par
manentr rep lblican governme at can be erected;
and who does not in his inn )st soll, desire
to see it extended and prepetuaLed over the
whole earth, rs Il means of Human refOrma
lion second in diInity, Importance and sa-
credness alone to the Carts ian religion. Ii
who does not love African slavery with thi'
love is an aboitio list.

Judge Jonah Joels recently delivered the
following charge to the jury, in the case Of
Elm Church, for stealing:
Jury, you kin go out, and don't show
your ugly mugs till you find verdict. Ii

The jury retired, ard after an absence o.

Then Judge Jonah Joels pronounced upon
Film Church this sentence;
"Elim Church, stand up and face the
music. You are found guilty Of suicide for
stealing.-How, this court seDtepces You to
pay fine of two shillings to shave your
head with a baggauet in the barracks, and il
you try TO cave in the heads of the jury. you'll

Inc request to publish .
.a. DONATION PARTY,
There was donation
Not far from Toutogauy station,
Held for good man we know;
But the church members didn't go,
Except few Of the best
Which had moro charity than the rest,
Their preacher they are too stingy topay,
They are hard up, they say,
But ihcy have large farms,
And nice houses and barns,
And plenty that they could give
IL they would up to the Bible live
One passage OF the good Book
| fear they do not at it look
Where it reads as may see
That charitable we must be,
For without it nothing are we.
But one thing should tell
That the outsiders done we'll
For nice little sum they did raise
Which is much to their honor and praise.
If this does any one hit
Take it if you see fit.
