To the Voters of Texas,

Fsllo,c- Citizens AT the request of a
number of voters from different portions oil
the State | have consented to become can
didstc for the Office of Commissioner Of the
General Land Office.
In presenting my name as e. candidate
for this position, deem it unnecessary to
refer at length to the political issues OF the
day, as the ofiice is purely ministerial one.
1t liz, however, proper | should say that my
devotion to the Constitution and the Union,
was second to that Of no man until by the
action of the people of Texas contrary to
my matured convictions of right and poll
cy ordained that Texas was no longer o
part of the Federal Union. then yielded
nv allegiance TO the demands of the detacto
Confederate government, and supported 1t
faithfully, until the restoration of the Fed
erul authority. Since then | have been on
ly anxious to see the Union restored, as
speedily as possible as it was before the
hasty, and as then thought, ill-advised
action on the secession question. l believe
the reconstruction policy of the President
is wisely conceived and just in its purposes
and comprehensive enough in its provisions
to secure to every section of the country
corresponding equal rights.
As have loved my State and the Union
in days gone by, and have given evidence of
my devotion to liberty and free government
on the battle. field, so, now, | can truthful
" say that / desire only to see that policy
adopted r..the relief of the country from
its unfortunate embarrassments which will
rebound to the best interest of every section
of our common country.
am not without experience in the du-
ties of the Office TO which now aspire, hav-
ing held it under the administrations of
Presidents Lamar, Houston and Jones, and
Governors Henderson and Wood. there
fore feel that can serve my State in that
position without endangering any OF the
interests that may be entrusted to me-
When entered upon the performance of
the duties of Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, on the 9TH day of January,
lS41, found the business Of the Office con-
Quoted almost without system. When
went out of Office in the year 1S4S, ! had so
far systematised the Office as that the land
system could easily be understood by ALL
Should be replaced in the Office, my en-
tire time and energies will be devoted TO the
discharge of its duties.
Fellow-cittzens, l am now an old man,
reduced in means and MANNED OF limb,
given to my country, and which was buried
in the same grave with the lamented Mi
lam. | need the Office; if you think ! can
serve you as we'll rs another, / would be
glad TO receive your votes.

We take the following from the Hender-
son Times. We approve Of the sentiments
it contains, and would ask the different pa
pers in this section of the country to give
their opinions upon the same. 1t is time
we were adopting some system by which to
regulate the prices of advertising, job work,
&c. Come brother typos, speak out.-San
antonio Ledger.
TO The Press and Printers Of Eastern and
Western Texas:
Mr.. EDIToR: Permit an old typo to
make few suggestions for the considera-
ton of those connected with the Press in
Texas. We ought to have a regular sched-
ulc of.prices for city and country towns, so
that the wages of printers might be uni
form throughout the State.
The "boy system ought to be discounten-
anced and put down-it is ruinous to the
profession. The three years apprentice
system, ought TO be generally adopted in
it's stead, and no boy should BIO taken IN an
Office, for the purpose of learning the trade,
for less period. Those who do not serve
regular apprenticeship, ought not to be
recognized as printers. But few can mas
ter the art in less time and no one will be
injured by serving his full term.
Let there be a Convention of Editors and
Printers, held at some central point both
in Eastern and Western Texas-let them
consult together and agree upon uniform
ity of prices. Will the press speak ont?
April 18th, 1866. M.
We have on a former occasion expressed
our willingness to cooperate with our breth-
ern of the press in the accomplishment OF
the object discussed above. We still APP
prove the suggestion, and would RECON-
mend that time and place be appointed
at the earliest possible day for the holding
of said Convention. A Committee OF three
or FIVE should be appointed to confer VITA
all the brethren of the press, oy PI,"o o
oorresnondence, IN order to Solicit anu Sc
cure full representation Of the fress oi
the west-Basfrop AdVertisee.
Bgwe most cordially endorse the above,
and think the suggestion of Bro. CAIN OF
the Advertiser, a good one We hardly
know. however. whether we might be con-
s;dered in the East or West. Perhaps, we
might make another division, embracing
Northcrn Texas. What say our brethren oil
the Northern Texas Press. Paris, Lamar
County would be a central place for ALL
from Marshall to Dallas. We are decided
" in favor Of the same, wherever the
meeting is had.

BSy-The Mckinney Messenger is very
sensitive on the subject of misrepresenta.
tons and it is extraordinarily strange
that we can find that paper charged with
the same heneous crime. We find in that
paper of May 25th under the head, "WhO

"Hence, the truth of the Presidents decla-
ration, that his policy is fundamental, and
that no man can endorse his policy, and
that of the Radicals a. the same time.'
Neighbor if you will substitute the word
Congress for Radicals you will have II, al
least you will give in substance what the
President said to the delegates from Con-
necticut Perhaps it does not suit you ex'
actly to use the word Congress as your par
ty tell us that you endorse the President
and "Congress assembled" and it would
put your party or the President one al
fault But we understand this neighbori
you have got yourself in "Phyx" and you
wanted to slip out of ie by slipping in the
word radicals, instead of Congress, which
you know was wrong. And as you are go

The MADNESS OF RADICALtSM. -
The course of the radical majority
in Congress, is producing disastrous
effects in the business and CONNER
cial relations Of the country. The
New York Herald says, "there is
now no sale for the goods produced
by our manufactures. Presently
the manufactures will have to stop
work. Then we shall see thousands
of people thrown out Of employment,
starvation staring them in the face,
their children crying for food. Riots
will follow, and perhaps revolution.
Why is all this Not because of
the high price of gold, for gold is
lower than at any time during the
the war. No; it is because a few
dozen radicals in Congsess have
made up their minds to ruin the
country or carry the next Presiden-
tial election by negro votes, or by the
exclusion Of all votes from the South.
1t is because a few men at Washing
ton prefer their party to their coun-
try"
The dangerous extremeties to
which the madness of Radicalism
would carry the action of Congress
is exempliGYd by the Chicago Tri.
bune in its proposition to impeach
the President These desperate
politicians says the Boston Post, are
prepared for any adventure that may
possibly secure to them continuance
in power. The peace and safety OF
the coontry-its advancement and
prosperity-the relief of the people
from the heavy burdens imposed by
war-the restoration of fraternal
a nity-weigh not feather with the
lea or whose enmites have become
chronic and whose aim is only TO
g"atlfy revenge one whose whole
life has been rebellion against the
b, tier instincts Of humanity who
fesists approach to the final abode
of all, that his last moments ma Y
obey the inspiration of a malice
which marks the fallen from grace
But this frenzy Of hate and ambition
cannot rule the American people, nor
c0nfine the control Of the Government
to minority, or TO section. The
errors of the past will be forgiven,
the whole country will be united, |
and the glorious destiny of this
mighty nation, as prophesied by our
fathers, reached; despite the intrigues |
and daring usurpation Of those whose
treason to the duties of true states
of genuine patriotism, will
render them objects OF seorn by every
sincere friend to his country's vel |
fare and grandeur

hide or to cover that double vice.
with q fictitious virtue. i was de-,
tered by the fear of fatigue, BY my
disgust of bodily and menta! exer-
ton, by the indulgence of continuous

TIoN--A Singular Auto6iography.
An old man in his 18th year lately
hanged himself in Paris garnet.

effects a document entitled "Mys-

myself, ] adopted as my device the
Italian maxim, "Cht "a piano "a

contrary, no man should leave for
tomorrow what he can do to-day.
For my part, | believed that before
doing anything it was necessary to
deliberate long and maturely; and
the consequence was that all | took
part in turned out unsuccessful. By
this mania OF postponement and this
dilatoriness of execution | injured
my fortune, | forfeited an important
situation, and | missed ten marriages.

ready to be served. | thought my
self extremely prudent, and | always
found myself in false or difficult
position. After long and profound
reflection | am now convinced that
my constant habit of putting off
everything was but pretext; that
my real character was one OF selfish
