Editor Clarion: Permit me, through yo1r
me a matter of Importance. By the proc
lamation of the President of the United
States, dated Washington. July H. 1853. the
second part of the Constitution submitted
to separate vote is, -article 8. section 2, of
s,id constitution, which is in the following
words The credit OF the State shall not BE-
pledged or loaned In aid of any person, as
ISOLATION or corporation. nor shall the Seate
hereafter become stockholder in any COR
poration or association This Is the read
ing of the Proclamation aforesaid as appears
by copy Of the same both In the CLARION
and National Republican. III this copy is
authentic, it is clearly wrong designation

1. An s.article's ID by this Included in sec

reads: The credit Of the State shall not be

WASHINGTON CRY. ID. c., Oct q, go.
Texas advices received here are favorable

The President has stated that he feels
great satisfaction at the acFion Of the Vir-

take the iron clad oath. Having ratified
the 18th and 18th amendments, and COM
piled in other respects with the RECONSTRUCT

admission 70 representation in Congress. and

by those who are posted, that the political
disabilities of General Alcorn, Radical can

General Is in the same fix, aud consequently
Judge Denti the only legal candidate. Tn.
