Tilt Boers.
"These b*ave Boers are fight-
ing for republicanism against
monarchy; lor" democracy
against plutocracy; for home
rule1 against the bayonet; for
•he sovereignty of the indivi-
dual against the sanctity of the
crown; for the ballot against
' the love of gold; for Saxon free-
dom against British tyranny;-
for the integrity of their coun-
try against a ruthless- invader;
for the school house and the
church against the army bar-
racks and the military forts;
Icnf tfcei fireside of civilization
* against the blazing torch of de-
vastation; for free institution
•gainst imperialism, and above
all and beyond all they are*
flghtmga baljtlefor the* right*
of man.—Congressman, Sulzeu.
BSou-. S'tovail! Johnson is here as at-
torney for K. N. Ballew, a fLeft case
froin ChHdresa county. We asked
him> if He weuld be a candidate for
state senator from thi* district. He
remarked- that it would be a 3ms to
JAiui in his law piectice,. and. that be
did net see how be could get the time
to make a canvass of the district but
if the people wasted hint to represent
them at Austin and would say so bv
{their couoty instructions he would
consider it an honor to obey their in-
struetionst We believe it is hieh time
that while wo have a lawyer tfo repre-
sent tffl in the state- senate;- that we
have one of acknowledged ability,
StOvall Jbhnson is the- peer of any
man.entellectual and in point of hon-
esty or entegrity' in this district and
we venture the assertion that few un-
constitutional laws would be passed
if he is elected, to our state senate.—

by a steady adhereance to ffl
Gan it be that Providence has
not connected tfhe permanent
felicity of a nation with its vir-
tue?? *
These words, as all wiili re-
cognize, are from the farewell
address. It is interesting to
^trurn back to the inaugural ad-
dress and find that in the be<-
ginningy as at the end, of bite
administration his thougkos
were on public moralty.
Thw foundation of our natron-
al policy will be laid in tfae
pure and im'mutable prinaiples
of private, moralty, aaiA the
pw-emineoce of a free $overn-
iment be exemplified by all the
attributes which cam win the
affectiiKis of its citizens and
command the respect of the
would. I dwell on this pro®*
with every satisfaction with.an
ardent love foe my country can
'inspire since there is no tnuth
more thoroughly established
tint there^exists in the* econ-
omy and'course of na&MW an
indisoolubfe unioiwbetween vir-
tue' and happiness% between
jhon® and advantage, between
the gtftttine maxims of an hon-
est ancf magnanimous policy
and the solid rewards of public
prosperity and felicity;^ sinoe
we ought«to less persuaded thai?
tho propitious smiles of heavew
tk)Ur that dvsvegards th« eternal-
rrufles of order and righ t, which?
heaven itself ftns ordained; and
since the preservation the sa-
cred fire of liberty and? the des-
tiny of th« republican model of
government ore-justly rer.oDsid-
ered as deeply, perhaps as' fin-
ally, stoked offli the experiment
intrusted to the handj. of the
