VINO SHOULD CONE TO TEXAS.

The ST Louis Tines gives us credit
for great candor on the subject of inn
migration TO Texas. We took occasion
to say that persons uhacquainted with
farming operations generally, and the
productions Of the sosth especially. and
who were without the means to pur-
chase or stock farm. or even to buy
the necessary provisions for q year.
should not come. We do not
regard the circumstances as worthy
of quite so much commentator a.
it has received. Is candor, indeed. so
rare quality that ia exhibition should
create . fi0ores The truth il, our St
Louis contemporary looks with an evil
eye upon the myriads of emigrants OF

who are leaving Missouri and the other
cold and inhospitable states Of the

The old Missouri acres will sell for

CoSoREss reassembles on tho 10Th,
and many important measures will be
acted upon at once. 1t is thought that
the Texas and Pacific bill will come up
very early after the meeting. Its friends
are sanguine of success. IA an economic
measure, stripped of all subsidy feat,
ures, there is no valid reason why il
should not pass at once. Every patriot,
aud every progressive man in Texas, or
in any osner Of the states. should sup
port u. The main trunk line, without
branches. ought to insure favorable nc.
ton at once.
