When the Revolutionary fathers first
complained Of British tyrsny and op-
preston, they had no idea Of ever see-
ing this country. iien in its infancy. be-
come free and independent Nation.
They only asked that they be permitted
ito enact their own local laws: that they
have the right OF petition. and that they
Nigh, be represented ut the courts of
the mother country. These simple acfs
of justice were denied by England ia-
suit was added TO injury until the
Americans were force q TO strike for
freedom.
Again. when John Quincy Adams
first raised his voice in Congress again ST
the evil influence of American slavery.
the idea had never entered his brain that
the institution eve, could or would be
finally abolished. It's advocates insisted
not only upon its rerpcfuatioD where II
already existed, but upon its spread into
the territories. Finally n great Rebel
lion cnsucd which resulted in the total
abolition of the institution so dearly
cherished by the PEOPLE who attempted
to force their ideas upon an outraged
Nation.
The Historian tells MS that "the nnri-
cation acts OF 1860 and 1868 were ps.s | /
for the purpose of gripping tie com.
merce of The colonies, and confirming
their dependence upou England. They
were severely felt throughout all the
Icoiouies, and especially in New Eng
land, which was largely dependent upon
Its commerce. These scts were the be-
ginning Of policy deliberately adopted
by England, and persisted in by her for
the purpose Of enriching her mercantile
class ny depriving the colonists Of the
lust rewards of their labors."
These acts were among the causes
which led the people 10 rise up in their
might, as one man, and throw OIL the

Talk about the election Of President
pro ten. OF the Senate increases Governor
Cokes election 70 the United States Senate
calls Hubbard to the Executive chair, and
the gentleman who becomes the presiding
Office of the Senate is, eg-o9ieio, Lieutenant
Governor Of Texas, aud may become Gov
ernor. Left 10 an expression of the PEG
pie, Wells Thompson would be thus hon
oned, and left even TO the unbiased action
OF Senators he would receive an unani-
nous vote. The intelligent people of
Texas did vote for Thompson in 1869,
when dark days lowered over Texas,
when Southern men hardly dared
assert single right voted for him
for the very position to which he
now aspires, and, had not the military
arm Of the national commandments
he would have been Lieutenant Governorof
Texas. He was bold enough to speak out
for Texans then, and they honored him for
IT, and he is as worthy to-day as then; but
Texans, supposed 10 be free, are probably
not so, since it is said that the railroad po-
tentate, who holds Texas in the palm of
mis- hand, has declared against Thompson.
1t is asserted, at least, that his agents, who
have been here directing legislation,
declare that no man must be trusted
so near the Executive chair in the least
sntagonistic TO the interests of their
master, Scott. The bare thought
would shock and startle the public mind
and yet the fact, we are assured, will be
effective in shaping results. Scott has

tected in his great land grab, out of which
he may, in time, carve States even more
pliable than Pennsylvania or Texas. Until
the sequel shows it we can hardly believe

the idea that Tom Scott is to govern Texas
absolutely. That the people can thus be
sold out through agencies selected by them
selves we win not believe, until vote is
given for President pro tenn. of the
Senate, drawing a distinct line between
the friends and opponents of the Texas and
Pacific. 1t is a pitiable spectacle to con.
