Mr.. TnRoCKAoRTon's PRoJEcT-Is for
chopping up our fine, large State into halfa
dozen slices, more OF less, for the purpose
OF preserving tho balance of power. We
had hoped that the war had killed this
phrase which used to be in tho mouth Of
every petty politician, wheneverhe wanted
to do mean thing. "Balancc of power"
We want no balance Of power. The time
may come when IL will be right and proper
to cut up Texas, and make her into several
States; but ii has not come yet.
Does Mr.. Throckmorton think that Con-
gress will let him turn cabinet maker, and
manufacture easy chairs for six or eight
Senators, to be elected from these new
States; or it may be that, that old fashioned
parchment writing, entitled the Constitu-
ton of the United States, is unknown at
Austin. If such is the case, they ought by
oil means to procure a copy, and perhaps
the Convention may discover that some
body else has something to say on this
proposition. At all events, il would be we'll
to got the two Senators, to which we arc
entitled into Congress before scheming for
half dozen others. These things SAVIOR
too much of the personal pronoun.-F2ake's
Builetn 10th.
Hold, friend Flake! Your friend, Judge
Vim. Z. Jones, is somewhat interested in
this matter. 1t was his project instead Of
Mr.. Tbrockmortons. The latter gentleman
only wanted the resolution referred to .
committee, and Notwithstanding he advo-
catad its reference in On able argument, the
Convention refused even that So VIC pro-
pose that the above be amended by striking
out "Mr. Throckmorton," wherever it &C.
curs, and inserting "Mr. Jones, Of Bcxar."
1t will then tally with the rccord.-Aushin

which followed him everywhere like d. :,
One day, while at dinner with Genel Il

the family. The Indians were armed with
six shooters. Both Of the MIR. Savngcs
were killed by pistol shots. As soon as tho
alarm spread throughout the county, n

close. As the latter had q large lot Of
