The Conservative Press Association OF
Texas, at it's late meeting in Houston, adopted
q resolution inviting members of the press
throughout the country to come to Texas aud
see for themselves whether it is the theatre ot
lawlcsencss and crime that some Journalists
declare it to be. The association meets again

Portland, Maine, June q, says: Il The Demo
cratic State Convention, which cloeed at i
o'clock, to-day, WAS the most remarkable 49,
eemblage that ever convened here. One thing
has been accomplished. The Young Democra-
CT have bent the necks Of peryetse geuela-
ton Of HunkerB, and broken.t their alate for the
first time. The vote by which the convention
was adjourned to Bangor, on August 16, was
Of any convention ever held in Maine
and that portion that wanted to make
nomination charge Ill sorts OF un-
fairness in the proceedings through
out and certainly there seems 10 be some oc-
casion for the charge The most wonderful
thing in the whole matter is the insane idea
that Governor Chamberlain can be induced to
take the nomination in Bangor. No nspnbli-
can who knows tho Governor familiArly be-
lieyes he would do anything but rebuke and
aisown them il they should insist upon using
his name. The fact is that the whole proceed
ings were idiosic from beginning to end. The
old wheel horses wanted to nominate Smith +;
and he was on tho ground urging his own
claim. Charles r. Nmbal1 Esq., would have
been strong but for the bre1k in IA
vor OF Chamberlain. General C. II.
Roberts, Of Dangor, brave soldier
and accomplished gentleman, would
hare liked tie nomination, but there
seemed to be no method to anybody's desires.
The closing proceedings were distinguished by
most bitter scenes. One Portland dclegate
charged savagely upon alarcellus Emery, Of
the bangor Democrat, and said hut for Dem
acratic fofbeaEauco thnt gentleman would
have beon left to dangao on laup-post during
the war. At this point such hisBes and Lowls
went up as never wero before heard in Maine,
and it seemed al If the tumult would never
end, It WIS day to be remembered in the
history Of any party, and il discipline comes to
these shattered columns when they rally
aealn On tho Penobscot, it will argue a new
