I'VE Were exceedlngly paIned to sod

WE We're exceedingly pNlned 70 SEQ
that our old friend, Hon. j. II. Epper7
son, representative from the Jefferson
district, favored the idea Of appointing
commission to prepare constitution
for Texas. Colonel Epperson, ifhc will
Withdraw himself for one hour from
the cares pressing upon him, will see
the wrong of that course. We know
that he is, per sc, Il friend of republican
government, and could he see how the
yeomanry of the country reject the
idea of d packed constitution, he would
abandon the idea, and stand by the
true principle of constitutional liberty.

SAORILEGE Is in the land, The dis
patches yesterday indicated the cleo
ton to the vacancy in the State senate
from Washington and DurlcsOn coun-
ties, Of Seth Shepherd, native of
Washington county, over the late
senator, ST. Matthew Gaines, gentle
man Of Ethiopian descent, born in
ruckapaw, Louisiana, of the color OF
the ink with which these lines are
printed, and distinguished for his ver-
satility OF talent. lie Is II fine gumbo
scholar in English French, Congo,
Scnegumbia, Cagen and other lam
guages, and is n close imitator Of Brig
ham Young in feminine mathematics,
Great sympathy has been manifested
for st. Matthew because an ignorant
and prejudiced jury sentenced him to
the peuitcntiary for having divers and
suudry wives As we'll might Brigham
Young, chief Of the Latter Saints, be
consigned to durancc vile for the same
cause. Why punish st. Matthew and
allow st. Brighamgo free OH there's
the rub. st. Brigham was born in
New York, and ST. Matthew is de-
scended from the royal house of D0ho-
mey, or some other big family in the
land of jungles. Mr.. shepherd ought
to be ashamed.
