LEADERS ANo CRICKERY

The New York World comes burdened
with the charge that the nomination of Sey-
meur was trick of party leaders, in which
the Executive Committee Of the State took
hand, and it says the Saratoga conven-
ton was adjourned through fraud to meet
the ends of these trcksters:, The object
seems to have been to defeat selection by
the convention, SO that few men could
name the candidate; and the World now
advises the Democrats of New York to vote
for Seymour, although he does decline, and
to thus defeat the plans of these tricksters.
1t is opposed to new Convention, because
there is not sufficient time to have it called,
and it is also opposed to the reassembling
of the Saratoga convention, because it
would become necessary to purge that body
of those who deceived it, and this too
would consume much time. Ir
The action of these men in New York
Vitally concerns every Democrat in the coun-
try, and their acts may even cause the de-
feat of the Democratic party in November.
But it is the same old tale, which has been
enacted and re-enacted thousand times.
Every community is subjected to tricks
of party leaders, and until such men are
out of the way and made to take back
seats, we may look for a repetition of
what is now transpiring in New York.
We have seen parties subjected to tricks
in Texas, and even" here in Austin defeated
by them, and the men who perpetrate
these frauds must be branded by honest
men and placed, where they will never
more. be heard of. The World is justly in
dignant, and it becomes the sacred duty of
the press to hunt all tricky rascals out of
politics, and to help the people run pure
government by placing them in the degraded
positions to which they justly belong. A
party's ethics should be beyond attack, and
holding men to them would then insure
pure government. "''

TIE INDIvIsIsILITY OF TEXAS.

The Denton Monitor is opposed to the
division of Texas, and, except as to indulg-
ing in species Of Growing over the strength
of one portion of Texas as compared to an
other, says some sensible things. Wishing
the Monitor well. we only give publication
to the following patriotic portion of its ar
ticle:
1--WE shall oppose division of the State
by legitimate means, nor even consent that
this glorious heritage of our Revolutionary
sires shall be rent into fragments to CRAFTY
the vanity of q few would-be governors
and senator's"
This is the pith of the whole matter
The masses are in favor of the Indlvisibil-
ity OF the State, and were it not for the po-
litical demogogues, who would have office
on any terms the question of division would
never be raised. As between the North
and the South, the East and the West, we
are prepared to leok upon this question of
division with an eye to the interests of all
portions of Texas, and the day that sees
Texas divided will be one full of calamity.
Texas is destined to be the proudest State
in the American Union, and with its politi-
cal strength undivided the time is not far
distant that in national political contests il
will not be ''as New York goes" etc., but
as Texas goes, SO will the Union 60. We
would not have the name of Texas tarnished.
1t has a proud heritage, and its people
should cherish it ss such. North Texas,
while exhibiting pride in its own advance
ment, should remember that nature and the
march of immigration has made it garden
spot. West,rn Texas is a wide expanse,
full of fine lands, suitable for either agn-
culture or stock-raising, and within its
territory there are mineral fields as rich as
those of any portion Of the globe. The
rich cereals of North Texas, so soon as
internal improvements open the West
as they did Northern Texas, will
find market at home. The grain inter-
ests of the North will combine with the
stock interests of the West, and Texas will
not only supply nations with meat but
with bread. The water power of West
ern Iexas is equal to any emergency The
rich cotton fields of the North, East and
South will some day be inadequate to the
demands made upon them by Western ma
chinery, and Texas, through what
nature has bestowed, will be enriched
as is no other country. With such a
future it ill becomes the people of
Northern Texas or of Western Texas
to SOW the seeds of disunion With the
varied interests of Texas it is necessary that
its people should stick closely together, and
Northern Texas, instead of boasting over
its power to control the legislation of
the State, should do all in its
power to assist those sections now behind in
prosperity. Let the fable of the rods be
borne in mind, and adhered to, and the
State of Texas will yet be the brightest
star In the galaxy of States.

GoLIAD COUNTY has held meeting in
the interest of law and order, at which time
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted: y H
Resolued, That it is the sense OF this
meeting that the prime object of govern
rnent is to secure to the people protection
to their persons and property-that it is for
this purpose they pay taxes to support the
government and render to the same due al
leglsnce; and that whenever any govern
menL, either State or national, refuses to
give the people that protection and security
to which they are entitled, they have the
right, and it is their duty, to fall back
upon their inaliensble right of self-prolec-
ton and preservation, and protect them.
selves in such way and manner as may seem
to them expedient.
ResoIced. That we hereby express our un.
qualified dlsapprobation of the course of
Governor Coke in vetoing the bill known
as the ''Sheriff's Bill'' and making known
to the Legislature his objections TO the bill
organizing company OF fifty men to pro-
tect the people from lswless bands, and
compelling the Legislature to change the
law to suit his own personal and peculiar
views; that, in his message to the Leglsla-
ture on vetoing the first named bill, he
showed not only the spirit of the dema-
gogue, but an apologist for the outlaws of
our country; that, although it is the sworn
duty of the executive to see that the peo-
pie are protected and the laws enforced,
he has shown an almost wanton disregard
Of their appeals.
r. solped, That although we deprecate
and deplofe a division of the State into
other States, yet we hereby affirm that, un-
less the legislatures and executive of our
State shall give to us protection in person
and property, and render to us our just
dues as part and parcel of this great com
monwealth, that we will use our exertions
to establish in the west separate State.

THE S.. L ,uis Tisses seems TO be well.in-
formed upon the subject of politics in this
congressional district. 1t yays: =
There is trouble in the Fifth Congressios-
al District of Texas that ought to be ar
ranged before it prove disastrous to the
Democracy. D c. Giddings is the regular
Democratic candidate nominated over Han
cock, the present member, after q hard
fight. The dissatisfied friends of Hancock
now seem inclined to take their revenge,
and Wash. Jones, of Bastrop county. will
run as an independent candidate. Jones
was formerly Lieutenant Governor, is a
Democrat, and reported to be very popu-
lar man in the district. Such being the
case, he will draw off good many votes
that Mr.. Giddings ought to have, and
while having no chance of election himself
may succeed IN beating the regular nomi-
nee.
The Times goes on to argue that the can
didacy of Jones may secure the election of
Mccormick, but there is no such probabili-

THE tongue of calumny is always busy.
1t now appears that Major ]. D. Sayers is
the subject of a most unjust and unwarrant-
able attack, and those who viii do him jus

brought against him. We are unprepared

The party who are entitled TO and should

honorable. They are first for themselves,

the men who impose upon conventions and
attempt to make party subservient to indi-
vidual interests, and if the, people will
keep their eyes upon such men, and never
trust them, they will soon have good and
