by no manner of means a iavOritc
with MS. lleu,c nothing buta sense
of duty and necessity leads us 10
advocate the adoption OF the one,
and the election OF the other. We
shall briefly rcfcr In II few reasons
why We regard tliis us the proper
course.
There is no prospect that during
General Grants administration
more liberal terms will bc offered
us by Congress. We have no sure
ty that either the political complex
ion or sentiment OF Congress will
be changed oven after his present
term Of service. In our Judgment,
without complete Restoration, tho
prospect is the other way.
BY refusing restoration now, un-
der the tcrps proposed, we strength
en- our enemies and weaken our
friends. five refuse now, we may
lose tho advocacy Of many leading
republicans in the North and South
who tcprecate delay, or further re-
strictions. BY 50 doing, We woHld
stimulate the further eXactions do
mapdcd by extreme radicals Of both
sections.
If we should adopt the Constitu-
tion, elect the fotindcr ard leader OF
the Republican party IN TeXaS,
Governor, adopt the 18th Amend
mcnt, and elect senators and mem
bers to Congress who can qualify,
Congress will be forced to receive
us on the terms proposed by itself;
or, should it refuse, no sttrcr means
can be adopted to dismembcr tho
republican party, and bring about
total repeal Of all the reconStruc-
ton acts, and a new and moro lib
eraI policy towards the South.
If, by this policy, we secure res
toration, we place tho administra.
ton of tho laws in the hands of our
own people, and get rid Of the mill
tary commissions that are now so
readily halchcd up for the trial of
citizSrs; we secure the sacred right
once more to our people of invok~
ing the writ ofNabcas corpus; we
strike the manucles from tho limbs
of.mnny now confined by military
order, and restore the privilege Of
their being tried by ii ittry Of their
peers we will be free from apprc:
tensions Of another convention
kindred in spirit with the last; our
chosen representatives can impose
our taxes, regulate Ohr finances,
mako the necessary appropriations
to pay the State debt and carry on
the government, and thus relieve
the military Of a duty that has been
most ignorantly' and arbitrarily c&-
crciscd, There arc other reasons
equally cogcnt, Int VIC have not
time to pursue tie subject further
in this article We havo great re
spccl for Hamilton Stuart. We re
gard him rs one of the soundcst
thinkers, and purest mon in the
State. And we know of no man
that we would sooner see entrusted
with the control of our State affair.
His long residence in Texas, Ills
uniform conservative course, his eN-
tensivc and minute information in
regard to tho varied wants Of tho
State. and its resources, cmincnt'T
qualify him for the position of Gov
crncr. But, with all our confidence
in his sound Judgment, we fear his
candidacy under present circnm-
stances, will not result in good to
the country. We much regret his
present position.
