In Colonel Singleton's SETTLER |
letter he asks: Why was Madi-
son taken out of the district and
put in another When SO plain
a question is put, aud from so high
an authority, it of course causes
ripple of wonder. But the Colonel
does not wait for the press, or the
people, or those interested, to an
swer the question. lie answers
it in his "Jayne y letter, as follows;
at has often Mapped that con-
gressiohal districts have been ger
rymandered in the interest of par
ties, but seldom has any legisla-
ture ventured upon the disgrace
ful ground of forming districts for
Individuals
There is no escape from such
language as this. The legislature
disgracefully geirymanders the
district "for irdividuals,' and in
the "interest of parties.' Now
we do not propose to defend the
Legislature from the charge of dis
grace in any respect. But we
would like to know, and we believe
the people would like to know,
who are the individual members OF
the legislature to whom Colonel
Singleton refers, and who are the
"individualsn and the "parties y
for whom the district was ~gerry
manderedin
4 The House journal shows q GU
rious state of facts in the matter
1t is remarkable that every mem
ber from the Kinds county distric
in the House voted against the bill
And equally remarkable that ever,
member in the House from the 5tl
or Yazoo.Lauderdale district, OK
cept one, voted in favor of it.
Taking the matter upon tn
standpoint that Colonel Singleton
would have us do, we find an ARA
! Of names like the following in tn
9TH district engaged in the gerry
Wandering scheme, and framing
district for individuals. We quot
a few names from the journal
Lyle, Terrell, Dlankenship, ChaI
, man, Jones, McBeath, Sanders
} Norrell, Wadlington, Woods an
| Cameron.
| But for Colonel Singleton's SUI
, gestion, we would be 10th to col
, slider these names as parties to
disgraceful act. But ii true, an
the desire was to get rid of him !
the 9TH, it is met with an equal n
/. luctance in the 9TH district-not
, single member of that district "
ted for the bill.
The truth is, Colonel Singleto
is remote from the scene, and hI
permitted the rumors of over.zea
ous friends to lead him to imput
| wrong motives to the legislator
and to other gentlemen whom I'll
, people are probably thinking
for congressional honors.
The plain unvarnished truth
this: Madison county, with il
| heavy black, or Republican majo
! ity, was a load which neither I'll
| 9th nor the 9TH district desired [
carry; hence every member of u
9TH district--except one-favore
a bill which relieved them of Ma,
ison. And every member of I'll
! 9TH district voted against a bi
T which placed That Jonah of CIV
, upon them.

ladies, two brass pieces were pro-
cured and were dispatched to
Texas to aid in the unequal contest
in which her settlers had become
involved.
Young Sylvester joined these
volunteers, and reaching Texas,
participated in all the stirring
events of the campaign which clos
ed on the field of San JaeintO in
a decisive victory for the Texans.
The only cannon used by the Tex.
ans in this battle were those which
had been presented by the ladies
of Cincinnati.
Ii would not fall within the COM /
pass of this narrative to describe 1
a 1.-THE of the interesting incidents
of Capt. Sylvester's services in
Texas, or even such as have, with
difficulty, on account of his mod.
esty and reserve, been extracted
from him by intimate friends. But
of the incident of which he felt
prouder, and was more eommuni-
cativc than all others, his discov.

pointing to his coarse shoes and
clothing in proof thereof. But the

ID could not thus be deceived, and
on showing aside his jacket and
