LOYALTY IN TEXAS.

Governor Andrew J. Hamilton, of Texas, is
Unionist, on whose Toy atty there 10 no dis
oonnt. He was elected to Congress in 1853
over the regular Demscratic candidate, be-
cause the latter, with the entire regular ticke,
was for secession, while the people were not.
When the other Texas members seeded from
Congress in 1854, he Btaid, and made a hearty
Union speech. He went home Uuiopist. re-
mained there Unionist, until he had to Zee
for his life: then he came North q Unionist.
and spoke often and Eealousy for the Union
and the War He went back Tnionist, when
he could do so, and was appointed Governor
as vnionist. And now, he sends message
to the Convention recently assembled to recon
struct the State, wherein he says:
sit is q favorite phrase of many that this is
a White mans Government and 1t is declar-
ed to be the main duty of those who represent
the people, at the present time, to take care
that it shall continue to be so. thank God
that this is White mans Government; aud
humbly trust that the time will never come
when 1t shall cease to be so. But IT, by the
declaration that this is a White mans Govern
ment, it is meant that the Black man ia to be
excluded from its benefits, and forever wholly
debarred from the exercise OF political privi-
leges under it, then most respectfully take
issue with the proposition. as matter of fact,
and with the views of those by whom it 10
maintained. Black men do now enjoy, and have
long enjoyed, To exercise of political priyile-
ges, as well ss of civil rights, under the Gov.
ernment Of the United States.
"The election of a President of the United
States might by possibility be determined by
the votes of Black men, in the great State OF
New York. 1t is, then, q matter OF fact that
this Government Is not the Government Of the
Black man as we'll ss the White2 And if. in
the past, Black men have enjoyed civil rights,
and been admitted 10 the exercise of political
privileges under the Government of the United
States, is it likely that the emancipation, which
is regarded by n majority of the nation as a
great and glorious event in the history of the
human race, will not be followed, in due time,
by the enlargement Of the rights and privlle-
ges OF the people who are declared to be en-
franchised2
"la my Judgment, gentlemen, It Ia the part
of wisdom to provide in the organic law of the
State that the freedmen in our midst shall en-
Joy civil rights on an equality with the White
population Of the State. More than-rhis, |
believe it would be unwise to exclude the
freedmen in our midst from the exercise of po-
lltical privileges, by making the enjoyment CT
those privileges depend upon he accident OF
birth or COLOR"
Nobly spoken this, as becomes 1. 'nysl and
largo bearted author. And now We ill see
how the ex-Rebels who rule the Convention
will respond to H. Should they be disposed
to put the colored population on a probation,
or qualification, sush ~ reading aud writing;
they will give forward movement to the
question which cannot but result,in great gooi

"Standard domestic manufactures, In the

They tell me "he's Eot worth penny"
That ITO love him Is quite mistake"

I'd freely divide with Tom Blake.
But wealth can be gathered forever,
II lies on the land and the Lake.
But, if they compel us TO sever,
There's never another Tom Blake.
care not though Others may scorn him,
ia frown on them all for his sake,
For tue Graces combine to adore him
Love lives in the glance of Tom Blake.
The passion now heaving my bosom
Is wild NJ the winds on the lake,
And still they cry, Fanny, refuse him."
When who could love BUT Tom Blake.
Alas for the fate Of the poor woman,
Alas for the steps she may take
Ny heart, with a love that is human,
Devotedly cllngs 10 Tom Blake.
Sometimes we wed to our sorrow,
And sometimes we wed tbro' mistake;
But, If he should kill me tomorrow,
To-day | would marry Tom Blake.
