The Gazette of the Sth closes long arti
Gle on the adjournment, as follows
FINALLY the whole matter ended
by the militpry taking possession
and we believe that Gen. Candy will
fix up matters as well rs they can be
arranged under the state Of confus
ion and disorder in which the Con
vcntion left them. We have hcar(
it reported that the Gen. will APP
point one of each wing Of the ropub
Leans together with a military off
Ger to inspect and determine wha
the Convention really did do, anc
thus, after a while, we shall be ona
bic to know what has been done
and then the people Of Texas car
bring to consider what they ough
to do in the premises. Gen. Candy
an unprejudiced party, will be abl'
to perform all the ministerial duties
left undone by the turbulent body
which has, at least, thank Heaven
dispersed, never more to assemble
We have full confidence that the
Military Com mander will act for the
best under all the circumstances.
