The Brownsville States, one Of the
soufest Bourbons in the journalistic line
tells its readers that the BOLIVAR BUL-
LErrN hoistes the name of Genl b. f.
Cheatham for Governor, and then
goes on to say that its (the States) can
ditate is the nominee Of the 9th OF Nav,
intmating, of course, that the BULLETIN
will bolt unless Cheatham is the choice
of the convention. Never mind
Mr.. States, just you keep cool, and see
who does the most work when the
time FOL action comes, and remember
that every man and community has the
right to express fayoritism before a mons
ination takes place, and that this can
always be done without the shadow OF
Inconsistency to party or principle
Hence, we are not ore of those who
wish to be led by the nose into every
f5ld of political action.

Governor Palmer's Final Declaration
Against Grant

IN Honest Mans Honest Reasons WHy
lie Declines 4 Re Nomination.
The following important letter has just
been published, from which it Will be
seen thatGov. Palmer can NOR will not
dirty his hands with the uuciean "head Of
the nation" The letter was addressed to
the editor of the Carlinyille Democrat, in
which paper notice had previously APP
peared. at the Governors request, that he
would not be candidate for re-nomina-
ton before the Republican State Conven-
ton. Says the Governor:
Ny old friends, no doubt, felt some Gu
riosity TO learn the reasons for my con
duct
Tie State Convention which has been
called to meet at Springfield, on May D,
will be controlled by men whose leading
object will be to secure the re nomina-
ton and election of President Grant
They wi'Imake all the nominations Of
St,te officers subordinate to that object
and viii have right to expect that the
candidate they select for Governor
viii sypathize in their ravorite ol.ject,
and undertake the canvass of the Site
to promote its success. J do not believe
President Grant should be nominated by
the Republican party, ard viii not say
So Nor viii consent to canvass the
State to promote his rc.eleetion, unless
the candidate placed in the field against
him is more objectionable l supported
General Grant SOS with great cheerful
ness. Then the issues which followed
the war were Of trAnsceudLnt importance
twas then necessary to provide com
plete guarantees for the liberty, equality
and protection Of all; and, in comparison
with the perfect accomplishments Of these
fundamental objects Of the Government
measures of admins rativc reform were
Of small Importance, and, in fact, from
the state of the public mind, then i'm
possible, Now the most important
questions are such as relate to the en-
foreemcnt of the laws, the administra
ton of the public funds, provision Tor
the care Of the helpless classes, the re-
duction of the burdens Of taxation, the
enforcement Of official honesty and re-
sponsibility, and the protection of the
liberties Of the people. As all who are
familiar with NV opinions know, l be,
lieve that all reforms and Improvements
in the direction indicated must begin
in the State and the first stem toward
success must be to win back to the Cow
ernmert ofthe States the confidence and
affection Of the people.

Rough Times in Texas

The Brownsville Daily Ranchero of
the 18th instant has the following plain
talk:
The Republican says that we are pro-
tected by the military authorities. This
is another mistake. There are no troops
here to protect US infantry, Of which
arm q couple of hundred are scattered
along the lower Rio Grande, is useless
OF the cavalry arm, the only one that
can be employed against the thieves,
thore Is not single soldier here.
The Republican thinks that we, so
aided by the military, should put Ii stop
70 the depredations We have been law
abiding citizens here We have appeal
ed many times to our government for
protection. We have been patient and
have hoped even against hope.
We have so hoped in vain for the last
six or seven years.
The time has come when we will aid
ourselves, unassisted, by the military.
Unless the government heeds our appeals
speedily, Texans will cross the Rio
Grande, and look for the thieves on their
native soil II the path Of our frontiers
6meh then is marked 10y blood and fire
the Republican must not be shocked
We will be doing only what we are told
what We are compelled to do:
