THE REV. DIR. BURLESON,

lCtl me imperative necessity oI pun
lshing this morning the screed OF
the Democratic prohibition, dcliv-
ed i'll the columns of the Advance, by
our be owed friend and cid honored
instructor tae Il Y. Il e. Burlcson,
OF this city, but our duty II the
sl4udercd citizens of this state and
the Demo ratio party, rJqnire us
not only to publish, but u dcduce
Ger ain conclusions thcrcfrOm.
It WI be seen from his apology
for Gov. Joe Brown, that there is one
ground upon which man can be ex-
cused for opposing prohibition, ard
that is, being BApti deacon, rich
and liberal giver TO the Baptist
church BE this aud do this, and the
good DR.. holds that he can et !, be a
christian gentleman. But if not this :,
he tortcits the name Of man, and be-
comes a colllrcd dog, to bark at the
command of his master. Read what
he says OF Judge Clark, man who
for twenty one y,als has made u good
honorable aud upright citizen OF TINS
community, and upon whose shield
of life, public and private, no stain OF
dishonor has ever touched or even
charged, except prompted by the vim
dlcatiVe hate of prohibition democ-
racy SO called; and to George lark's
chain is linked every anti in tho state,
| TO y, lp and bark ut the edicts OF AL
| hcuser Bush. lie casts reproach upon
| the capitol committee because they
conferred upon him, an eX-
attorney general, and an eX-su-
preme Judge Of Texas, the honor
of making the dedication speech, aud
actually speaks OF hun as if he was "a
carpet bagger who had just arrived.
The check of every man and woman
in this great state. who regards the
| deCencies that even prohibition
Democrat should show to his fellow
citizen, will blush with shane, as
they read his suggested pilgrimage
of honorable and distinguished
gentlemen, AT the tomb OF dead
Mexican
Some have tried ID excuse this out
ragcous assault ON common deceucy,
as well rs 100000 anti democrats OF
Texas by asserting th9t Dr Bulloson
is in his dotAgc, and that the mind
originally strung aud fully imbuod
with AL the grand Baptist ideas of
personal and soul liberty, ard heart so
fun OF love and sympathy for all, has
yielded to years of uuremittlug toll
unt sOured and chl1used, it eks to
Sond TO the taggot, the stake and the
rack, every man and womaa who
dare- dltlor from him. But tAis car
not be The same powerful brain and
mighty energy of soul inCased ~ 1t is
III n feeble frame, which has placed him
at the head of the Baptist church
makes him the most trusted leader OF
the prohibition dem 1crAtS, and he on
ly expresses in tha, letter the senti-
ment of al the pro democratic Load
ers, and they Will all endorse except
those who inihis particular instance
unlike himself, arc too cowardly to
aYoW their reGl sentiments. Aud
while we know that he is wrong, yet
we respect him far more for his hoL-
esCy i'll avowing that they all believe
that all anti prohibitionlst is the
bought dog of a hard master, and has
no right that prohibtionist can or
ought to respect, than we do hundreds
OF others who will openly disayow the
sentiments he expresses, and then
secretly stab every man that has had
the manhood to oppose them.
He eXtols a gang of prohibition
democrats whom he styles statesman:
the cilete MaXey, the political pros
titute Reagan, who in January 1857
trailed the principles of lie time in
the dust by trading them for mess
OF prohibition pottag the nonentity
LAuham; and the sot and plagirest
Welborr; but when he attempts to
yoke senator Coke to this miseratl.
IN tley herd, he makes sad mistake.
And when he asserts that auti demo-
