able and credible men in the State. They
have publicly branded him as perjured
villain.
In the matter of his politics he is charged
upon undeniablc testimony, with having
been from 1853 to the beginning Of the
war the unreasoning champion for the
immediate secession Of Texas" and was
for bloody revolution, if necessary, to &C.
complsh secession on account of the inter
meddling of the North with slavery. Go.
vernor LUBBOCK and Lieutenant-G Governor
REYNOLDS, of Austin, are referred to as
witnesses to establish this charge.
This is the man-this is the wretch who
stands forth as the representative of that
"Union party which had the inherent
right to rule the people Of the South, ac-
cording to Mr.. Boris. There was hardly
one of them who was put in position OF
prominence or trust by the authority OF
the Government or of the military tribu-
nails who was not corrupt and rotten. This
man HAMILTON is q fair sample of them.
He is evidently man entitled to no con.
sideratiou, and but for the relation he
occupies, deserves not the slightest notice.
Having been Governor of Texas, he is now
agitator for further trouble-is busying
himself with the revolutionary convention
at Philadelphia, and is taken by the hand
by the prominent Radical Revolutionists
of the North. He it was who, with HAHN
and others, went on to Washington to con-
coct with boutwell,, WILSON, SUMNER,
and others, the New Orleans riot; and he
is still at the North scheming for mischief
and deviltry with those traitors who would
destroy the whole nation rather than suffer
defeat in their schemes for power and the
control Of the public flsc-with all the fat
contracts and embellishments that would
follow.
S.-After the above was in type, we
received through q New Orleans paper a
copy of the proceedings Of meeting OF
| citizens of Travis county, Texas, held in
Austin on the 10th of June, 1856, to ex.
press their sentiments with regard to the
Gaming of SUMNER by BROOKS, of South
Carolina. JACK HAMILTON presided at The
meeting--which fact will impart great
deal ofpleasure to SUMNER, WILSON, BOUT
WELL, and others, who were in consulta-
ton with JACK last winter upon the ques.
ton of raising riot in New Orleans. The
following resolutions were adopted:
"Resolred. That the Hon: Preston s. Brooks
! Is entitled TO the earnest thanks of the whole
South for the energy and hearty good will with
which he struck down her infamous enemy in
! the spot where the honorable rutfian poured
| forth, for four consecutive hours, unmerited
| abuse of her institutions and favorite sons.
"Resotred, That, in testimony Of our appre.
citation Of the, patriotie conduct OF Colonel
Brooks, we wfll: present TO him q cane made
of the toughest wood which grows on the sol
Of Texas, and which, therefore, with manifest
propriety, should be applied with the ful
| force of q stout southern arm upon the backs
of our hypocritical and slanderous enemies. ;
These resolutions should be engrossed
and sent to SUMNER as testimonial o.
"JAcx's" friendly regard.
