lating upon tho beauties of morality
and religion, any human being
might improve and dcvclope in his
heart tho religious principle.
Ills EXccllcncy expressed great
respect for the pulpit, and tho grand
cardinal doctrines of tho christian
faith, and while expressing himself,
very forcibly reminded me Of old
Phil Claiborne, who is known to bc
n good prcccptor of orthodoxy yet
lover of good cheer,
To any inquiry us to Providcntial
interference in human affairs, he
said:
Napoleon Bonaparte thought
tho Lord took the side OF the hedri-
est artillery.

We visited together the other day
the celebrated stove manufacturing
establishment Of Abcndroth Broth
crs at Port Chester, over which rs
VIC approached he bohcld floating
in the breeze the star spanglcd ban

We were talking of the late la
mcntcd, Lost Cause, and pointing
to it, he said
"Our people never should have

fought under it all through tho Moss
lean war and sir, would you believe
it? when | first charged that OLD
tag at Elkhorn-ovcn amidst the
roar Of artillery, .tho cries Of the
wounded, and tho groans Of the dy-
ing-retlections associated with it
in past and by-gono days, when l
had followed il in glorious victories
through foreign wars, brought un-
willing tears to my eyes
Had the Confederate States
adopted the flag of their foreEathers,
the result might hayo been differ

But sir, the struggle is over, and
the cause of it, African slavery, is
torerer abolished-our people would
not re-cstablish it tomorrow, had
they the power! AS was said be-
fore:
"Witl the dawn Of restoration | |
feel assured that Texas will enter
upon a new cr.,, and that her future |
will be rs grand and prosperous as
her past has been cvcntful. Her
geographical position and delight
ful climate, her universal wealth Of
coal, iron and copper, the variety Of
her agricultural products and the
fertility Of her soil, all conspirc to
this end.
In my Judgment, nothing is want
ing to place Texas on the high road
to greatness and prosperity, but har-
mOny amoag her people, unity Of pur-
pose among her leading citi=enS, and
riSd0m in her future cogncilS."
The Governor has been treated
with great consideration by many
princes of Gotham, and
by his pleasant manners and inter
csting conversation has made them
understand that Texans know how
to select and how to elect to Office
competent, honest and-the right
men for the right place-when per-
mitted to do so.
lie has also done his part in re-
the prejudice produced on
the Northern mind against Texans,
by the false and slanderous assor-
tions of designing carpet bag politi-
clans, that our people are disloyal
haters of law and order but great
lovers ofblood, murder and robbery.
BY his actions and conversation
here he has shown himself TO the
as:
"a man who consocraies his hours
By vigorous effort, and an honest aim
And on his return to the Sunny
South will carry back with him the
Kind wishes of many distinguished
New Workers, Republicans as well
IS Democrats. In haste,
