suicidal policy TO put forth party candi-
dates for party canvass but convention

unit, and its suifrages could be cast against

The Radical Papers OF Texas,
What are some Of the facts in reference
to the Radical newspapers of Texas? One
fact is, that if they were deprived of official
patronage, which the disfranchiscd people
are taxed to pay, they would at once sus-
pend. They are false, libelous, abusive,
insolent, impudent, overbearing, ignorant
and insulting in both original articles and
selected matter, and owe their good luck in
not being called to account by outraged
individuals TO the protection of Federal
bsyonets. They are in the hands of craven
and unprincipled creatures from the Nor
thern States, or, what is worse, persons
who have been base enough to turn traitor
TO the best interests Of their own State and
kindred. Their editors have no sort of
sympathy with Texas people, and sbhor
the idea Of any reconstruction under which
the genuine inhabitants Of Texas would
acquire the fight Of suffrage, and particu-
larly OF holding Office. They are continu-
ally asserting imaginary Outrsges and
murders and when an outrage actually
happens, they misstate and distort the
particulars, give il, almost invariably, a
political significance and greatly magnify
it's importance and enormity. They are
damaging nuissnees, doing the dirty work
Of military dsspotism now grinding a
dsfsncsless people under the spiked heel
Of cruel, unprineipled and unsersrulOus
po.rer.

nayour friends of the Bonham News

R~Our friends of the Bonham News
have been getting off number Of common.
and scarcely witty squibs, designcdly at
our expense, in reference to our view OF
the political situation of Texas and the
true policy Of the Democracy. 1t is true
they are committed to diamctrical opposi-
ton to our short-route- out a-long-difi-
Guilty plan, but they condne themselves to
vague generalities, and adduce no argu-
mcnt to fortify their own position or prove
the untenableness of ours. We dislike to
see men of their ability, who certainly aim
to be right, shooting wide Of the mark and
getting into on awkward place from whence
pride of consistency would prevent their
return and cause them to work. much mis-
chief to the people. They say they will
not support the proposed constitution, and
will oppose A.. J. Hamilton for Governor
but they do not favor us with q solitary
reason why such course is dictated by
either wisdom or patriotism. They cannot
We arc assured, figure out, to even their
own satisfaction, how the running Of 4
Democrat for Governor or the defeat Of the
proposed constitution woull benefit the
Democratic party or hasten the reconstruc-
tion and consequent admission Of the
State into the Union and representation in
the councils Of the nation. We claim to
be as purely and thoroughly democratic as
the editors of the News, 'orany other man,
Gexcuse the slangl but can see hut darkly
through their opaque spectacles. We agree
TO pursue any course the editors may sug-
gesi, provided they convince rs that it will
tend TO hasten The admission of Texas into
the Union, the riddanee Of our people Of
military surveillance and misrule and the
reinstatement Of true Texas and Southern
men in the important Offices Of the State.

Novel LOgic.--" Get out OF the
WILDERNESS F"

According 10 history, tie Scotch after
their subjngation to tho English Crown,
readily, with but few exceptions, adopted
to considerable extent the manners and
customs Of their conquerors. Ii ose who
we're exceptions are perfectly photographed
by Sir Walter Scott in lis character of the
father Of Ivanhoe, who ever kept his dom
ieil like castle of Bruce or Douglas and
wore the ancient bonnet and spear after
almost all his countrymen had donned the
hat and adopted the slender long sword of
the Southron gentleman. OF this charac-
ter IRE several of our Texas editors, who
are clinging to dead issues, and who, IN
arguing against the adoption of the pro-
posed constitution, tell us that even if the
rejection Of that instrument does keep us
out Of the Union FIVE or six years longer,
we can bear it very wcll-that we have
prospcred materially, in spite Of the sad
abnormaliy Of our political situation
that, having remained out Of the Union
tlRut ySuto NltuOut iOolHk Jul ilNSo
or becoming abjcct paupers, we can and
should remain unreprcsented, disfranchised
and ridden by brainlcss shouller.strapped
jockeys eight or nine years longer rather
than accept reconstruction on other than
our own terms. BY parity Of reasoning,
VIC may add that VIC can very we'll stay out
oh onk fort hi
sixteen or eighteen years, II it should be
necessary to vindicate our incorporating
pride and unbending dignity, We can just
as we'll bear the yoke Of military oppres-
sion and pay money to support the soldiers
who keep their bayonets at our breasts for
century, SO far as our strength and forti-
tude are concerned. We cannot endorse
this new logic, and must be excused for
our blum tness in saying that is neither the
logic Of good sense nor "the ineIorable
logic of events" about which windy stump
orators have bloviatcd so mach.
For our part, we do not regard shadows,
and cannot see profit in dealing in vain
and inpalpable distractions. No one on
earth more firmly and conscientiously be-
licves in the right Of secession, and s..aavery
as the best condition of the America A fri
can race than we; but these have become
mere Observation-Disclosures. We have to
look at things as they actually exist and
deal with tangibilities. The slavery of
the negro is finally abolished, and seces-
sion, though certainly aud clearly State
right, viewed with reference to its near or
perspective practicability, is a dream of
the blood-stained past. We have surren-
dered both under pressure which il would
be worse than folly to resist. We are, as
n State, in o most uncomfortable situation,
and we must feel willing to make some
sacrifices in order to free ourselves from
standing armies and all the eoncomitsnt
horrors Of military occupation, and per-
jurcd and partial civil rule.
The terms now offered us by q govern
nent having the power to dictate them. are
no doubt better than any that would be
offered after their rejection, and the sooner
we close with the present offer the sooner
we will be able to "get out Of the wilder
ness" Think Of 1t.
