the negro votes and the votes Of the poor
sealawags, who had neither property not

some of whom were supposed to be men Of

and become the tools Of Gov, Davis and
the radical plunderers for the sake of their

ones have sprung up all over the State,
which are supported oUt of the corruption
fund and the forced legal. ..advertsing-for
!hcy could not live week without this
support.
The people, then, see why the Trea'ury
of the State is drained, and why the enor-
nous taxes are imposed upon them. The
money has been used, and the money TO be
raised will be used, for purposes of corrup-
tion and villainy, to increase and perpet-
ua,e radicali III in Texas. With money
enough to pay a military force under the
command Of iespotic ard unprincipled
Governor, the minority expect to keep the
majority down, under their feet, TO be
trampled on and insuitel and lorded over.
Money will don great dealt has alrea-
dy done much in TeXas-but it remains to
be seen whether the radicals have money
enough or can get money enongh to carry
out their programme Of ir.famy.
