EX-GOVERNOR PEAsE IN THE LIGHT
OF FACTS AND HISTORY.

Ex-Governor Pease is in Connec-
ticut, telling how there has been no
peace in the South for Union man
for these twenty years. He tells
how 'loyal' men have been denied
political rights and social privileges
in the South, and how emnity has
driven many of them out of it. He
is a Republican of the most ap-
proved stamp, and views Democ-
racy as dues Blaine and Conkling
and the other stalwarts, and recog-
niZes Republicanism as the great
est blessing vouchsafed to the people
of this Union. In 1855, when the
Republican party was springing into
existence in the northern states,
after Knownothingism had died of
rapid disease, and when this new
anti-democratic movement had
succeeded if, Z. NJ. Pease was COVER
nor of Texas. He was Democrat
the fiercest of the Bourbons, and
when the legislature assembled he
was not slow in sending a message
to the houses thereof, cOngratula-
ting the members and the people of
Texas upon being in the care of con-
sentative and just Democracy, the
only party that guaranteed pure
and upright government to the
people of these United States. He
called the attention of these legisla-
tors to the new party springing into
existence at the North, and said of
it, that its lawless principles were
being directed even against the per-
manency of the Union. Here is what
he said: ..-
The rise of this party has given
new vigOr TO the freesoilers and abo-
litionists of the Northern and East
ern States, who compose its princi-
pal strength in those sections, and
whose dangerous and disorganizing
attempts to resist the execution OF
the laws of Congress. threaten the
peace and permanency OF the Union.
| trust, however, that the good
sense of the people of every part of
our country will, as it always has in
past emergencies, come to the res
cue, and forever extinguish the
hopes of those fanatics, who for the
fancied advantages of freedom to a
race. who are incapable of appreciat-
ing or enjoying it, would put az haZ-
ard the existence of a government,
upon which rest the hopes of the
friends of the rights of man through
out the.world. II q
The message from which this eX-
tract is taken was sent to the Sen
ate, December 81, 1855, and is to be
found on page 391 of the therecords
of the executive Office under Cover
nor Pease. 1t will be seen that he
places the onus of responsibility for
coming sectional troubles on Repub-
licans and not upon Democrats. But
the most curious part of his message,
in the light of Governor Pease's late
history, is his opinion of the African
race in the South. This was his hon
est opinion, made before disturbing
events, arising from emancipation,
had TRANSFERRED. 1t was his calm
and candid opinion, and the negro
lovers of the North may make the
best of such opinion. Governor
Pease's present expressions are so i'll
in accord with his honest opinions of
the Republican party, of who were
responsible for the war, of the
fitness of the African race for
present rights under the constitu-
ton, that we present them for the ed
ification of his New England. Re-

THE Galveston Ne'cs publishes
the fact that one day last week all
the trains on the Texas and Pacific
railroad were delayed four hours in
consequence of the immense immi-
grant travel over the line. And vet
the NetrS has been claiming that the
bare fact of ON. Roberts being
governor has stopped immigration.
With over two hundred English
people in one day over the Sunset
road, one hundred and fifty Tennes-
seeans in one party, via Sherman,
and this four hours delay in one day
of all trains by Immigrant travel,
besides an incesSant influx on all
trains and by all routes is a sad
showing indeed against the repul-
sive administration 1of Governor
Roberts. 1t repels mendicants and
tramps, and at this the people of
Texas rejoice. We all labor hard
enough for living, and have no
money to spare to support cast-offs
and idlers. Texas is now getting a
class of immigrats. creditable, TO any
country. ..Ts;yT0 -E - l.ltfu t.rl i.u.

THE STATESMAN acknowledges
the receipt of copy of the book, so
long anticipated, in which Gen. Nc
Donald makes an entire exposure of
the secrets of the great whisky ring,
which brought Mckee and others to
grief. The book is an exposition of
corruption and rascality, known TO
attach to the Republican party, such
as has often been proven. Gen. Nc
Donald's intimate connection with
the whisky ring and the Republican
party, and the close connection be-
tween party and ring make this book
particularly interesting just now.
The exposure connects Grant, Bah

with the frauds, and the' evidence is

n New YORK letter writer says
that in Gotham doctors with
an established practice, that pays
well, do not, of course. want TO be
called out at night. These men
make il a rule to refuse to go out if
they are called. Some of them have
sort of staff of younger men. to
whom they turn over night calls
and others to which they can not
attend, but not on, the gratis princi-
pie. They have an understanding
with the younger men that they
shall get part of the fee, though they
do none of the work. Many doctors
in New York never go out fer less
than $40, and some demand from
so to $50, sometimes even 800, and
where operations are performed it
is sometimes as high rs $500. There
are doctors in New York whose in
come runs from $4,000 to $4,000
every year, and they are not hard
workers either. The hard work is
done IN the first ten years of prae-
tice. But for fear we may BE ADAM
doned by the professional men of
Austin for the grand prospscis of a
