Texas Pelitlcs

NEyEsoTA, Texas, July 25.-The Conserya-
i've Union Convention was organized to-day
BY the election of Ashbel Smith. of Houston
as President. The State was fully represented
and great unanimity prevailed. Delegates to
the Phiiadelphia Convention were appointed
from the original and anti Secession parties
Resolutions were adopted accepting the
principles and objects Of the PhiiadeIphia
National invention, declaring that .uumis.
takeaote evidence exits that a plot and con-
spiracy IL on foot by the radicals Of Texas to
falsify and defame the people Of that State
before the Northern people, by representing
them hostile TO the Government and constitu.
ton of the United States. and as vIndicfive
and violent toward Northern citizens and the
adherents TO the Federal Upfon during the late
war. and oppressive towArus the free people
among them The resolutions say 80
1--WE pronounce these charges, eeyerally and
collectively, as false and malicious. made to
influence and embitter the North against
Texas, TO prevent the restoration Of regular
government, harmony and good order and to
obtain political rule and power in defiance of
the choice and Will of the great mass of Texans
We invoke the Northern people OF every partv
to give no credence to these faleehoods which
are only calculated 70 mislead them to wrong
us, % promote dissension and prolong sectional
I'D feeling" I'll P -
Rssolred, That the gratitude OF the people of
Texas, is due and is hereby rendered, TO Presi-
dent johnson, for the wisdom and maenan.
unity whereby be has endea yored TO re-estab.
lish the Federal Union. ~

HIGH PRICES.

There are general complaints throughout the
country Of the exorbisant prices demanded by
dealers for all the necessaries Of hfe, particu-
larly articles of food. What is true Of other
sections, applies with double force in this city.
Many families. who, before the war, lived at
least comfortably on moderate incomes, now
ind themselves obliged 10 dispense with many
articles which they deemed necessary. Meats,
vegetables, and groceries, which seem to be
affected every few weeks with the "gold
fever" go up as the precious metal advances,
and stay up no matter how low gold comes
down. until the next rise, when we have
smother turn of the screw. Besides, dealers in
that things will advance before the winter
comes. .f-
The extortions complained of are. for the
most part, the work of the middle-men, who
buy up all in the market, and then make COM
binations TO charge enormous prices Efforts
are being made elsewhere to counteract this.
A Cincinnati paper describes a company now
organizing there to establish a mammoth gar
den for the growth of all kinds of vegetables
and fruit. and furnish them to citizens, in
wagons, on orders. 1t is promised that mar
keting by this new method shall cost the con-
sumner only a little more than one half the pre-
sent prices asked.
The same arrangements might be made here
and elsewhere, and to apply to the pur-
chase or production of many other articles
At any rate some unity of action on the part of
our citizens, with view to forming associa-
tons to relieve themselves from this growing
evil. may accomplish much good The expert
ment is worth trying, at all events.
