SOME time ago, Governor Ihrock-
morton was mt Jefferson, and nj the
solicitation of some Of his friends,
delivered one of his patriotic npeechcsi
In which he said:
"'lho nomination of Governor DNvs
ut Dallas, for reelection, has In IT
much mei ming and carries with IL n
lesson which should arouse out people
not only 10 reflection, but to action,
earnest, energetic action. The nOml-
nation of Davis at Dallas, Is an IN
tlorscment by the Radical party OF his
entire administration, and whilst their
convention has put forth platform in
which there are some things 70 conf
mend, vet the mere nomination OF
Davis is Il full Endorsement of all the
bunders and crimes OF his adminlstra-
tlou.aGd speak IN uumis,akablc terms
the determination Of the party to re-
store as the policy Of the state IN the
future, all those hlunders anG crimes
and to,lics.
The burdens of taxation growing out
Of that administration have already
CROWN intolcrablc to our people, and
his reinstatement TO power is but the

heavy burdens, with II probable heavy
increase in their weight; aud il be-
hoovcs all true men of the state 10
rally to the standard of the Democratic
party in order that the impending
evils threatened by the restoration OF
the Davis policy, may be certainly ana
surely avertcd by his defeat. so over
whellning'and certain that there."an
be no mistake about II, and no preteNt
for false co,mtings and false returns.
70 this end, he urged upon the citizens
| the high duty of immediate rcgistra-
ton, to bc followed by his certain
attendance at the polls on election
iay. This will he the great struggle in
the coming canvass.
There are no serious divisions in OulI
ranks which may not be readily heal
ed, but the great trouble in the coming
csnvass, MS it has .lnifolmly been IL
| the past, since the war, is to arouse oul
people from their letlargy-a lethargy
most unaccountable in the present high
eXigencies of the times, ana to induce
| them to shake it off like men and 90
forth armed with enthusiasm and yea
to do battle for the right. This worl;
accomplished and the victory is won
| and such victory that there can he NJ
cavil about it. To this end let the
very best and ablest men, men in
whose integrity and patriotism tho
/ people have confidence, be put forward
I us candidates for all the positions ol
/ trust-mcn "who their duties know
and know their rights, and knowing
dare maintainn-men of energy, well
up in all the living issues of the times
brave, courageous, active men
around whom the people can rally and
whose banners the people will delight
to follow, as in the days of yore
! The speaker said he was no alarmisi
it was never his habit to deal in sen
sation OF sensational utterances; but il
is fact patent to the minds of MS all
that our people are slumbcring upon 4
volcano which is liable soon to burst
forth in flames and consume and de
stroy our free institutions. The people
of Texas have it in their power, by
tIpitnl-ai; .l,t.i., .is. ,i'd, +i,ii, ~ 't>Si
1.-THE evils impending, and in some cases
| already crushing down the liberties o
SON OF our Southern sister States, ant
it is the duty of every man TO buckle OF
the armor for the coming conflict fol
the supremacy of the liberty of the
State Of the despotism Of centralized
power. The national administration
will be in accord with Davis in tho
coming canvass, and if our people dc
1 not rally to the Democratic standard ~
one man, to come out of the contest by
Il most decided and overwhelming
cictory, the great and manifold dan
gers and evils which have seized thu
people of other States, and are nov
holding them with dcspotic power
are in all probability in store for us IA
a people in the near coming future
Then let there be action action Al
for himself, the speaker said, growing
warm with his subject, he was prout
to act with his Democratic friends il
all the means necessary TO accomplish
great and glorious victory on behal
of the true interests, the liberties ait
rights of the people of Texas-a people
whom he had always loved, and aStat'
for whose interests he stood ready tt
make sacrifice OF to discharge any du
