AUSTIN, TENAs, Feb. 23-Your interest in the
welfare Of Texas and Texans Is 30 well recognized
in This State that think you will appreciate the
| motive that prompts me 10 inform you Of the con.
dition OF things here, especially from a political
point Of view. To begin with, the Democratic
party proper laughs at the innuendoes Of vision
| In their ranks. They cannot conceive how any
man born and reared In their State, or, for that
mates in the Southern States could so far forget
himself as to vote against the Judgment of those
grown gray in the service Of Bour.
| bonism Their main object In ridiculing
| the attempt Of divided Democracy
is the expectation of an early recognition of their
services by the party when the feast is held-to
wit, the giving away OF the Offices. Another cause
and probably the most significant one, IL thatif a
person is found ablo to divide Democracy once,
then their lease expires and never again will
they be enabled to raise the cry OF mismanage-
ment, corrupt government, &c., because they are
forced TO acknowledge the fact that II was their
own misrule, begotten by their 100000 Demo-
crauc majority, that brought about such state Of
facts fortunately for the State and those that
OF liberal turn of mind, young population Is
that
THE YOUTHS OF TEXAS,
and not the old Fossils will have the deciding as to
whether Texas shall remain Democrauc-thht Is
10 say, VIII be deprived Of the privileges of edu-
cutlOIt tne Denehts arising from immigration, the
introduction OF Northern labor and capital, aud
many other things too numerous to mention. The
independent movement spoken Of in the different
papers has almost become the exclusive topic Of
conversation on the streets, not by politicians
only, put By others who want to see change. All
unite excepting the old elemenO in praising the
movement and are sanguinc OF success, provid-
ing some liberal and young Democrat, one that
mas always been Democrat is placed at the head
o. Tue ticket NO one who has ever been Repub-

leglAnce from Democracy need expect 10 be elected
