To the Voters of the State of Texas.
I avail myself of this method of presenting
my name before you as a candidate for your
suffrages at the election in August next, for
the office of Governor of the State of Texas
for the ensuing term. Favorable indications
received from my numerous friends through-
out the State, have induced me to pursue this
course. In aspiring to a position so honorable
and important, I can but feel an honest dis-
trust of my humble abilities, to discharge in a
manner satisfactory to myself, and useful to
the State, the various duties which must ne-
cessarily devolve on the next Executive of the
State. But prompted by no other motive than
to do good, advance the interest, and promote
the general welfare of thti State and her citi-
zens, I come boldly before you, determined, if
'elected, to do every thing in my power, to give
character to the State, and place her institu-
tions on such a basis, as will reflect credit upon
her citizens, and give her that position in the
eyes of her sister States, which she is des-
tined, by prudence in the management of her
affairs to attain. It is your right fellow-citi-
zens, to know precisely the attitude of each
individual who asks office at your hands. In
order then, that I may not be misunderstood.
I will stated with as much correctness as is
fracticable, my position. In national politics,
am a Democrat, and have acted cordially
and cheerfully with that party since my first
engagement in political life, which has been
lor more than twenty years. I have at no
time, either publicly or privately, occupied
doubtful ground on this subject. I have acted
with the democratic party at all times, purely
from principle. I expect still to co-operate
, with the party; but, while this is the case, I
have ever acted courteously and liberally to-
wards those who differ with 'me in political
opinion. I am always ready to accord to every
good citizen what I claim for myself—correct
motives and pure intentions. I have said this
much, that every voter in the State may know
where to place rne. I have ever regarded the
American Union, and her system of laws based
upon the Constitution, as the wisest and best
ever adopted for the benefit of civilized society.
I have steadily opposed all measures which
have been projected for its overthrow. The
late measures passed by the Congress of th«
U. States, known as the compromise, meets
my approbation as genera! measures of ad-
justment, and I have no disposition to see them
disturbed. IP I should err on this subject, it
would be on the side of the Union.
Id State policy, I regard the payment of the
* t contracted by the late Republic as. per-
n importance. I am decidedly of
that'this should be done only upon
the scaled basis, adopted by the Legislature
of the State. A departure from this equita-
in a single instance^
the whole system, which has
I adopted. To provide for the
. public debt, I propose one of
both, however, founded upon
; domain and the five millions re-
the United States to pay the liabili-
ties for "which the customs of Texas were
pledged. First: The five millions alluded to,
aod the public domain of Texas, shall form a
basis, upon the faith of which the State may
her bonds to her creditors, bearing the
of interest and falling due at the
the U. S. Bonds become due and
tod in this way discharge her debt.
time, the State can provide, by a
n of legislation, for the sale of land
or a portion of the public domain, and
i iund. which, together with the five mil-
: meet the payment of the bonds of
' to the creditors. It" this me-
will result in advantage to
use he could realize the
at once, as it would then
in market. The
i van! age, from the
JIM •
debt <
haps,
ite
tors paid pro rata, in cash, and land scrip at
reasonably low rates. I think that either of
these methods, or some other of a similar bear-
ing may be adopted, for disposing of the pub-
lic debt, greatly to the advantage of the State,
and in entire consistency with her honor and
pledged faith. For it will be kept in mind
that with the exception of that particular por-
tion of the debt for which the customs were
pledged. Texas has never given any other
pledge or security for the payment of the rest
of her liabilities, except that which is predica-
ted upon her public domain. She consequent-
ly will have redeemed her plighted faith,
when she either pays the debt in land scrip
or in the proceeds of the sale ot her domain.
Nor can it be objected that by the sale of the
Santa Fe country, she has done any injustice
to her creditors, as she by this system will be
paying in cash, five millions of her public debt,
an amount much greater than she ever could
have realized from the sale of the same terri-
tory in any other way.
In the event the poíioy here indicated should
be adopted, there will be left to the State five
millions ol dollars from the sale of the Santa
Fe country, and upon the proper disposition
of this fund, I regard the future prosperity of
the State as greatly depending. The State
having already received five millions in U. S.
Bonds drawing five percent interest, there
will be annually accruing to the State, in in-
terest. the sum of two hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars—a sum sufficient to meet the ne-
cessary appropriations, to commence arid com-
plete in a short time all works of internal im-
provement of immediate necessity, and in a
few years defray the current expenses of the
State, without taxation except for county pur-
poses. The advantages of the people to he
derived from the improvement of the naviga-
tion ot our rivers, are too apparent to need
commentary. I look upon the sum of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, annually
applied, as being amply sufficient to defray
the current expenses of the State government,
and improve the navigation of every river of
any magnitude in Texas, within a tew years;
and this sunt, as an annual expenditure, would
be as large as a prudent and just economy
would require. While I make ray own sug-
gestions as to the proper distribution of the
interest on the five millions. I would not be
understood as favoring this system to the ex-
clusion of all others. I see and feel that there
are various otfier objects to which the inter-
est maybe applied with advantage to the
country. But as I regard the improvement
in the navigation of our rivers as first in im-
portance,. and of the greatest immediate ne-
cessity, I propose the application or me inrer-
est to this object first. After this is completed
it can be directed to purposes of education,
and further works of improvement as the ne-
cessities and growing condition of the country
may require. It is needless for me to speak of
the advantages which would arise from a well
organized system of common school education
throughout the State. No one feels more in-
tensely the importance of this subject, than
myself, and 1 give assurance to co-operate
with the friends of the measure, to consum-
mate so desirable an end. I am opposed, at
lea^I lor the present, to appropriating the
principal of the fund, (the five millions) either
in whole, or in part, for any purpose. Whether
the legislature appropriates the interest, wisely
or not, so long as the principal remains, the
State will at any time be enabled to change
her policy, and gaining wisdom by experience
each change may result in advantage. Ex-
perimenting upon the inteiest could not work
very injuriously so long as the principal is sa-
cred. I think it unwise "to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg." By relieving our peo-
ple from the burthens of direct, taxation, and
increasing our commercial facilities, and im-
proving our navigable streams, we present a
picture to the world never before witnessed, of
a people without taxalion supporting a State
government and constantly improving. This
position without any other advantage, would
do more for Texas than any that was ever be-
fore conceived. Never was {here such an in-
ducement held out to emigration. It would
give us population, commerce, navigation,
wealth, and every thing necessary to make
Texas what God and nature designed her to
be, the most magnificent State in the Union.
The exposed condition of our frontier ex-
cites in my bosom the deepest solicitude. It
demands immediate and complete protection.
A system of thieving is practiced on our bor-
der almost without intermission, and the blood
of the best citizens of the frontier has not
ceased to flow. I am a frontier settler myself,
and know too much of its exposed condition
to feel otherwise than warmly upon the sub-
ject, and if elected I should do all in my power
to give effective protection, peace and quiet
to our frontiers, and urge our Indian difficul-
ties lo a speedy termination. In the adminis-
tration of the State government, I am in fa-
vor of exercising the strictest economy, and
averse to the diversion of the public money to
private and individual purposes. In present-
ing my claims to the public, I feel sensible
that I must he judged by my past history.—
For a long period of time I have been in pub-
lic life, both here and in the country from which
I emigrated. In reviewing that history, though
my pretensions have ever been humble, I feel
a conscious pride in the fact, that there is noth-
ing in my past life at which I need blush'.—
As to my course in Texas, I refer to those with
whom I have been associated in private or
public life, or served with me in the field.—
By their estimate I am to be tried, and wil-
lingly abide the issue. It is with no ordinary
gratification that I feel that I have contributed
my humble services to make Texas what she
is, with all her glorious hopes in the future.

with much interest the introduction of the Can-
chalagua into this country by yourself; and am
free to say that no medicine stands so deservedly
high as your extract ofthat invaluable plant. In
my family I have seen its extraordinary efficacy
in the cure of a confirmed case of Bronchitis.—

without it, are wantonly exposing the lives of
their children to those fel destroyers of youth,
Worms. This Vermifuge is only to be had of the
EMPIRE COMPANY; 138 Fulton street, N. Y.
but as there are other, pretended Vermifuges of
the same or similar names in the market, which
perhaps are about as sure to kill the Children as
the Worms, it is "best to see that the following
notice is on each package :
NOTICE: All preparations heretofore known
as "COMSTOCK'S," ojr COMSTOCK &CO'S,
always belonged, and now belong, exclusively, to
Dr. Albert L. Comstock; and though the name of
Comstock & Co. will be continued, this extra la-
bel, with the fac simile signature of Dr. A. L. C.,
will in future designate the genuine.
All others must be spurious.

PATENT LIGHT INU KUUS.
THIS invention affords, by a combination of
scientific principles, perfect security from the
effects of thunderstorms, at a very moderate cost.
The points consist of one of solid platinated sil-
ver, twelve inches long, and of three gold plated
negative magnets, the whole of which possess
extraordinary power, and are connected with
spirally-twisted, carbonized annealed iron rods,
in lengths of 10 feet, with accurately fitted brass
screw connecting joints, metalic attachments for
brick or frame buildings, and glass isolators oTa
new and ingenious construction. The above-
named Lightning Rods have been largely sold
in the Northern and Middle States ana have
afforded the most perfect immunity in the severest
electrical storms.
The price for the apparatus forming the points
is 2 1-2 dollars, and for rods 30 cents per foot—
nothing being charged for the necessary isolators
and attachments.
The points should be placed 5, feet above the
chimney of the building, and the rod should be
carried into the ground from 3 to 5 feet. Parties
wishing to order them will thus be enabled to as¿
certain for themselves the cost; and may obtain
any other particulars on application to
