Ratify the Constitution.

We would urge upon the people
the necessity and Importance ofrat.
flying the Constitution as amended
by the late Convention. The pco-
pie have been, heretofore, averse to
altering the State Constitution; they
have been willing to cling to that
instrument with all its errors and
defects, rather than risk q measure
that might open the door to reck-
less spirit of change and innovation
in reference to it. This is, of course,
commcndable; for where the Consti.
tuition is being continually changed
and tempered with, tho people do
not feel that reverence for it which
they should as the organic law OF
the land. Constitutial guarantees
lose their force, and the public mind
is continually agitated by feeling
of uncertainty and fear. But the
amendments proposed by the late
Convention, are SO necessary and
iudicious that they must be sane
toned by every candid and consid-
crate person, when viewed alone U
the light of their own merits, aside
from any other consideration. Who
has not felt the evil of annual cleo
tons, and of short terms Of office Z
The amendments of the Judicial
Department and in reference to COM
mon schools arc equally important
and judieious.
There are other considerations,
however, possibly of greater weight
and importance, that hould induce
us to ratify the action of the Con-
yention in this matter. There new
err was q time in the history of the
State when moro important and
vital issues were involved in an elec-
ton than at the present; there new
or was time in the history of our
Government when moro of iEtelli-
pence, patriotism, strength of pur-
pose and integrity were required by
the people in the exercise OF their
functions as sovereigns of the State,
than at the present. Federalism has
risen in our State, intensified in its
purpose by the hatred and bitter.
ness of feeling of its leaders towards
the people of Texas. 1t is q part
of the programme Of the Radical
Union party, under the leadership
of Hamilton, Pease and Bell, to de
feat the amended Constitution be
fore the people, and thus secure al
endorsement Of Radicalism by thu
people, and prevent the Organiza
ton of the State government. Il
the people would strike death blow
at Radicalism in Texas, let then
ratify the amendments to the Con

That we will stand by and sustain

the laws of tho United States upon

GEN. GRANT AND THE S0UrH.-Fbo
letter written by this distinguished
officer to Congress, throrgh Score
tary Stanton, is marked with his
strong common sense aud manly
liberality of sentiment His first
point is the necessity Of attofding
protection to the frontier settlements
where recent emigrants care devcl-
oping the resources of the country
to its great advantage This he
says, makes it proper increase
the military force west d the Mis-
sissippi beyond what II has ever
been before.
AS to the states lately in rebellion,
Gen. Grant thinks, "a small military
force is required " in al Of them,
and will be for some time TO como;
not, he hopes, "to enforce the laws
State or national" but "the diaGr-
ence of sentiments engenderod. by
the great war which has raga.l for
four years will make the presence
of a military force necessary to
give a feeling of security sotlTc PEG
ple." There is a warrant for this
opinion in the best European expo'
rience and statesmansbip, and We
have no doubt that Gen Grant u
right in his idea, previously advai..-
ced, and now repeated, that coG
pany is in many cases as good as :,
regiment, and in his belief that's
a military occupation as he recon
mends would answera useful pur~
pose. Gen. Grants views do not
imply any lack of comfy ence in tie
South. On the contrary they are
complimentary to us. He n'la4
to act on the principle, well cstab-
lished, that it is not good policy to
withdraw the whole military force
suddenly from country where
war has been raging for long time,
and his admission Of general prin-
ciple as his guide, as well as his dec.
laration that the force required is
very small, are both evidences Of
his respect for the South and Of his
confidence in our people.
The next recommendation made
by Gen. Grant is that all the white
volunteers ought to be discharged.
He refers to their dissatisfaction as
rendering them unfit for the service
required; but we have no doubt he
considers them rs unfit because
they are volunteers, for such dal5
as is now demanded. He believes
in q word, that regulars viii giyo
less dissatisfaction at the South.
AS to the negro volunteers, he
says they have not claimed thPir
discharge, but recommends that
they be discharged, anyhow. H6
dismisses the idea of their retention
as unworthy of consideration
In this letter, as in most otF9c
things that Gen. Grant has @tittth
and in his actions, he has showh a
true Union spirit-a desire TO ,rr
store the South without BREAKING
down her self-respect, and a mag
unanimous confidence that such
course would have the desired effect.
In this he is abundantly right. Ii
the whole North and the Congress
were to follow the example Of Gen
Grant, the wounds of tha war would
soon be healed and the Union made
stronger than it ever was beiore--
This is so plain that we cannothtlp
believing that those who pursue
different course desire a different
resnlt-that they do not want re
union and peace, but disuhion and
agitation.-Gdl.N ewS.
