A Correction.

Tho resolutions of DR.. j. +. Scott,
offered at the Conservative meeting
in this city, were not published in
full with the proceeding of that
meeting owing to thei. length, and
in attempting to give their purport
| find | have done their author an
injustice which [ now most cheer
fully correct. In that report the
DIR. is represented as being in favor
of the election Of moderate republi-
cans to all Offices, whereas his rcso-
lutions only favored the election oil
such TO all State Offices, leaving the
people free TO select for other offices,
such as would best subserve their
interests. Iregret that the mistake
should have occurred. rs il was well
calculated TO place the DIR. in a
wrong light before the people, if his
political status had not been so well
known, and in justice to him ! make
the correction.

BsD- A meeting of tho Conservatives Of
Collin county was held on the LIST inst,
which nominated candidates for Sheriff
and Justices of the Peace. Unlike the
meeting hero on the Both ult, the Conscr-
vntiYcs Of Collin county did not nominate
candidates for the Legislature, but recon-
mcnded to the voters of Dallas and Tarrant
the name of DR.. Shelburnc, the Conserva-
tive candidate in Collin for the lower
house, and said not word about the SEN
alorsllip. A wise conclusion, we think.
