Ratification Mootlnc
It beingaseertained yesterday that Messrs.
Jennings Kainey end Armstrong members ol
the Convention had arrived in the city the
previous evening on their way home the op
portunity was taken to invite them to address
our citliens on the actionof the Convention
especially its recent important eonrse-in which
they held a prominent position.
The occasion was taken also to carry on
what had been pten f icre to old r

people in their primary meetings thronghoo'

they created it.

course of the Convention throughout and the
motives that bad governed it. He alluded to
the action of Gen. Houston and Mr. Hamilton
when some one cried oat "iaog theml" Mr.
Jennings apparently did not nndtritand and
asked t "What did yon ty sir ! " The other

Mr. Dan Phillips and others objected sayinu

so thai no one could possibly object and i'
was snbquently rumored that in his off-
hand way he had invited the crowd to call at

proper spiritnil atyle.
We trust to e this good example set by
GalreslOB connty followed throughout the
State; and that the peop'e in primary meet-
ings will cloe what jn primary meetings they
commenced ; the peaceful revolution that bat
demonstrated so amply their capacity for self
torcrrjmeiit and their determination sot to re-
train under Abolition rale.
Ceors Fnosr Etc. A correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph writes from Ellis connty
on 2Sth nit.:
The wheat crop vat never more flittering than al
present. Every farmer has a larger quantity sown
ihan any previons year. Corn has als been pliat-
d on a large seale. We have from time to time
during the wiaW and sprier had abundant rains.
Crops of all kinds are Indeed flattering bid fair to
leM an untold bervest. Corn at present Is wnrth
2 00 per bntbel; dour t3 00 per ewt.; beef li to
3 cents per ponnd.
Ellis seems to be well adapted to sheep raising.
They seem to be a native hers and " to the manor
born."
The past winter has been the nildeet one yonr cor-
respondent ever saw In any eeuntry. Stock kept fat
all winter. Beeves are too fat for the ahamhles."
In fact this seems to be the best atock raising county
lu Korihera Texas.
The frost of the 19 th did but little damage 4o
crops near Uempstesd Anstin county cotton
not boisg advanced enough to be much allud-
ed and com not being hurt. In other parts of
the county the corn was killed to the ground;
but will grow again.
In Collin connty the wheat was slightly in-
jured and the peach crop blasted.
In Cherokee county the rust has appeared in
tbe wheat.
In Milam county the weather continues io
be spring-like and the grass range is coming
ont finely.
In Colorado connly the frost killed beans
corn and potatoes. Toe corn it was thought
would bare to be replanted' in some places.
Near Urenbam the frost did but little dam-
age. It was to be observed only on low lands
or where corn had been plowed during the pre-
vious day.
In Nacogdoches connty the corn crop is
thrifty and vigorous and larger than ever
before planted. The small grain crop general
ly looks wellandpromisesto yield abundantly.
A heavy bail storm tookplaca in Anderson
county a fortnight ago.
Tho frost was voir heavy tn Grimes connty
and tho corn potatoes etc were hurt by it.
In McLenoan and the adjacent counties the
wheat is reported by the Waco South-West of
the SOth ult. to be in the most promising con-
dition and an overwhelming yield is antici-
pated. In all tbe frontier counties the crops
arc excellent save that a black frost appears to
bave done some damage.
Tho frost did some harm in Victoria county
but it did not destroy tbe stand of corn.
The Jefferson Herald of (be 22d says ibo
weather has been unseasonably cold in Mariqn;
county with heavy frosts at night chicb bars
nipped the young corn severely in somejo-
cslities. Tn Jasper coiinty more corn is being planted
this year than was ever planted in any ono
tear previous.
In Goliad connty the frost cut down tbe early
corq in tho rallies; but it his done no serious
damage to the crops.
In Matagorda connty a good ratn'was needed
on tbe 23d. So says tbe Gazette of that date.
The frost nipped some of tbe corn on Caney

The Mouse during last night's session continued ths
dUensaton of the Joint Itesotntlom approving the
ratification of the Permanent Coastltotlon by the
Convention. The debate rat psrllelpltd la by.
many members. Messrs. Sheaan Branch Crorki
and others spoke against the resolutions express-
ing the opinion that it was an act of usurpation on
ihe part of the Contention to ratify that Constitu-
tion; that It should have been referred to the piii-
pla. It was admitted however on all sides that the
Permanent Constitution was free from all objections
and that the changes made In ths old Federal Con-
ntlmllon were a great Improvement.

State of Texas in the slave-holding Confederate
Hates against that Stale and against that Govern-

such sentiments the mbject of the vengeance ot the
aw.
Thank God when such language was used towards
the government there was bnt very Utile If any ap-
plause even In Travle county. The people here are
becoming tired of making a resistance which can
effectoate In no good to themselves or their coun-
try. Like good and loyal citliens they arebeglnlng
to see and feel the effects of such resistance to the
overwhelming voice of their fetlow-clllleos. They
had fought hard to stay Id the old Uolon; but their
fellow-cliisens hy.lhemost declalre msjnrlty thought
It beet to aet otherwise and they are now willing to
abide by the decision of the billox-hox.
The Legislature it Is thought will not close their
labors until the latter' part of next week If then.
There Is much and lmpertant business to do and lt
eeems to bo the disposition of the members to leave
nothing undone which can well be done. It Is pre-
Imneotly a working Legislature' and sfneethey have

both the librthera and the Southern tariffs tho
N. V Herald says :
It Is impossible to deny to the Southern tariff an
exemplification of statesmanship ebllghtment wis-
dom and a knowledge of governing a great and en-
terprising people" which are wholly wanting la the
.other document.
The two measures. In fact ulnar aa asueh la spirit
as the eighteenth and.tho nlnoieeutb. 'centuries ; they
are as widely dlfferc.nl as the leglslatlonof the Moun-
tain n reioluHooary France or the Puritan legisla-
tion of lfl old Commonwealth of Buglaad; and the
legislation of these to countries at the present day
as any commercial man who understand! Ida subject
may see by comparing the one with the other.
The tariff of the Washington Congress U the most
Ignorant xseless blundering and pernicious enact-
ment that eyer was concocted for the avowed pur-
f' iss of bettering tbo Interests of the eeuntry. On
e contrary the tariff of the Montgomery Congress
a sound practlcat and Intelllglbla measure and ss
inch It trill command tha admiration of the states-
meu of Hcgtaod and France and alt the commercial
nations' of Europe.. They will discover from the
comparison that tbe art of government Is with tha
Sooth and not-with tho N'orth and they will be gui-
ded by that conviction In their policy as regards the
two lections.

The KeaoB roBatlieeeattoB.
We present in cxUUo the remarks before
the Convention by Judge R. O. Campbell of
the Galveston delegation on tha subject of at
once ratifying tbe new Constitution of tbe
Confederate States :
Judge Campbell of Galveston said that the ques-
tion before the Convention; was' not one as tolls
nower to aet. every centlemiu conceding that tha
right to accept' and approve the Constitution was
clearly accorded. It was a jqaeatlon of expediency
merely ana la bis Judgment every eonraersuoa or
expediency demanded the prompt and Immediate
adoption of the Constitution. Wera.tlie Convention
not to adopt this course they would leave Incom-
plete the structure; they hay's for-'weeks beea engag-
ed In erecting; the creation of a permanent tie w tn
the other seceded Slates was the cap stone of the
great political edifice. Were he to cast any other
vote than one sustaining sncnndltlonal approval be
should expect to hear the rebuke ofthe constituency
be had the honor" to represent
Oa his retarnxis his home after Ihs adoption ofthe
Ordinance of Eecessi-jn Instead of meeting censure
for having voted agalnat- . reference to the people
AnaelhoBewcDC3lderd wise the people of bis en-
Ugnteeed county applauded pts course.
The rectnt bonolar vols oniht to be considered
decisive on thi. pilot By some aJ.OoO m-Pirtty 6uf?
of 60.000 votes ihe rawies had pfonouaceri Irl favor
of Secession and from every1 quarter thi manifesta-
tion were conclusively apparent that the people
