Inthies aud
IT, because she has lost two sons in the
rebel army.
Our people in the Language Of the
Governor, are words Of uncer'ain mean
lug III. first impression is that he means
his aud Phillis' 'people," or the co'orcd
iy!ks. hut Gov. Davis, whatever may be
his desire, il not colored man, unless he
has become 50 by eating Mrs. Browns
brown pumpkin pes. Nor would such AL
vice hc necessary TO colorcd men, who ma
,urally prict to buy tie excellent Phillis'
excellent pics, rather than buy pies which
mu.i always taste lad 10 loyal palatcs be-
cause male by the disloyal Mrs. Warren.
Does he mean by "our people tho mem
hers orthe Eepnblican prrty? Are they
m,one 10 have the exquisite satisfaction OF
joining with his ENcellency in eating ex.
cci!cnt pies made by nm excellent, loyal
hearted coloicd woman The Governor
p,avs the cold cat with the Texans. To
the white Democrats, who lost everything
by ,he war, hc says:
You bad little kittens
To lose your mittens
lou shan'L have any pie.
BuI to the Republicans, who have fonnd
freedom aud Offices, he says, with COM
slaceut and nf!ectionntc purr:

You've found your mitensl
III tell you where there's good pie.
tn is not one Of the selfish kind OF Gov.
pruors who keep all the good things IL
themselves. When he finds lOaves and
fishrs he shares them with his people, and
pympatizing with his hungry followers in
rheir simple and infantile nppetites, ht
points out to the loyal the "menbcrs OF
the Legislature and strangers visiting the
city the place where the good pies are
kept lie not only does this from sense
of executive official duty, but he stakes
great pleasure in calling the attention Of
''his friends to Phills Browns excellent
pies, good enough for a Governor. lie not
only tells them where to find good pies of
The loyal colored and excellent quality
sampled and approved by himself, but
with touching soicitude almost patenal
he warns the nil his children and peo-
pie against disloyal white pies with rebel
sympathos and flavor. The name and
memory Of sush Governor ought 10 be
treasured in the annals of Texas as one
WHO loved h is people ana good pie. The
children Of another age will speak of him
in affectionate reverence as "the great
Apple-pie Davis
But what shall be said Of that Mrs
Warren who dares to erect her disloyal
pie-stand hard by the gates Of legislation
where members pass constantly, and in
the very sight of the Governor as he makes
his hourly visits TO the table of the loyal
Phillis, She is white, yet sells pies She
has lost two sons in the rebel army, yet
sells pies
