that in New York and Massachusetts, the

very naturally concludes that the field is
not promising one. II we only set the

In the meantime the statements by Mr..

and people In Texas that have been SO
frequently traducing the State, and at
tempting to SCARE away capital by de-
claiming Of the hostile" sentiment in

a deservedly greater contempt than they
have heretofore received.
