Is the great and potent Weapon with which we
must carry on the campaign. We might as
well at once surrender to the foe as to abandon
this agency, which is, in fact, the artillery arm
both for defense and attack, in such a warfare.
This great moral and political agent can only
be rendered efficient and successful with the
co~untenancs, support and material assistance
OF the people. Never was there so cheap an
aid employed to defend the right and to crush
the opPressor. A people who are Tot willing
20 sustain IN auxiliary which may be SO po-
tantly used to defend their rights, and when
can be employed at so inconziderable al ex-
pease, are in the last stage OF decrepitude and
decline. And so an individual, who may be
FOUND TO DECRY TIE PRESS,
Which in all free governments is known to be
the most powerful lever, in the service OF good
government, must be either too imbeeile for a
freeman or too corrupt to receive the conf
denee and respect OF his countrymen. It
therefore happens that the people who sustain
the Press with the greatest Hberality n who
rely upon its free utterance, with the highes;
confidence in its power to elicit the truth and
defend the right, are always the freost and
most independent people.

To NorE or Nor TO VoFE.-The
Galveston News states very correctly
that there is nothing to prevent The
people of Texas from voting in the
ensuing Presidential election; that
Congress has simply declared that if
an clccSon is held, the vote shall not
be counted, and with that, as mat.
ter of course, We have nothing to do
But practically how are the people to
hold an electioa2 Tho officers
from the Governor down to the Con.
stables, are all, or nearly all, radical
military appointees, The solution of
this question, it seems to us, is easy
enough, Let Gov. Throckmorton
US tho rightS,l Guv-raar of the
State, order an election, and appoint
the proper men-to hold it; or, if he
is not inclined to take the response
biliiy, let the Chairman of the Fix.
eeutive Committee, suggest il to the
people But in view of the Difficult.
ties intervening to prevent a fair
election would it not be as well to
hold Off Can we accomplish any
good by its Is not the enormity
which excludes us from the polls
more likely to awaken tho North to
sense of justice than any efforts we
can make to obtain shadow of our
rights?
