Statement of "V. P. Thomassox.
. Lives in the Fifth "Ward. On going to the
place of voting his attention was arrested by
lJichardW. JJonald charging the-keeper of the
side door with partiality iii letting political friends
go in at the door and refusing to let otfiers; the
reply of the door-keeper was not heard but a
person who stood on the bidetvalk in an audible
voice spoke out in substance if not the exact
words 'Do as you' please Sheriff and you shall
be protected." This person I since learn is a
member of the City Council.
On returning to my office a young man thought
to be an Irishman was seen runuing from the
Court House the place of voting iu the Sktli
"Ward pursued by some half dozen men and boys.
By running across the htreet I got between the
parties and stopped the pursuit the man Tunning
into .labme s drug store. In a lew minutes the
cry of " Move him ! knock him down ! kill him ! "
was heard at the Court House; looking in that di-
rection there was quite a commotion in tho
crowd; numbers were running after a German
who seemed to have bpen roughly used. A stone
was thrown at him with much violence passing
within a few inches of a child' who happened to bo
on the sidewalk. The pursued I suppose es-
caped; but in a few moments the cry was heard
" Here he is ; move him ! kill hiin !" I went to his
rescue; he had -however iu the meantime been
badly beaten by several. A young gentleman an
Irishman standing by happened to remark " It
was a pity to beat a human being that way." In-
stantly h was set upon by several and. overpow-
ered. AVheit in that condition a large young man
said to be an assistant City Lngiueer came rush-
ing through the crowd ami struck thejoung man
(whose back was towards him1) several severe
blows. Iu trying to jircvent his being further
hurt some one from behind struck me on tho
right check which felled me to the ground. On
gaining my feet aud offering a reward of five
hundred dollars to have tho man pointed out who
htnick me the rioters gave a screeching howl ac-
companied with an upraising of hands aud left.
This all occurred by ten o'clock A. M.
STATEM3XT OF D.VVID "WRIGHT of tllO firm of
"Wright & Bridgford.
I went to the Court House to vote on Monday
morning. I got to the door about half-past eight
o'clock. I was there I think nearly an hour
tning to get in. There was a good deal of noiset
hallooing "hurrah for Sam" but no violence or
fighting that I saw till after 9 o'clock.
When I was in the crowd that was pressing to
get in to vote I saw a number of men rush in the
Eastern door f the Court Houre saying " let us
take these polls and clean out tho damned Irish.'"
One of them who so came in knocked down an
Irishman who was near tho East door of the Court
House. They tumbled him down tho steps and
from the platform. They then made it rush at
Tansey aud Peeney two" Irishmen that were in
tiie passage. Tnnsey and Fecney both ran towards
the west cud of tho Court House the crowd pur-
suing and shouting. Both Tansey and Peeney
were quiet and" orderly. Neither of them weio
noisy or misbehaving iu anv wav.
DAVID W1JIGHT.
Statemext or B. F. Baker.
Having been requested to give a btatement of
such incidents as camo under my observation on
the day of the election I would btate that I voted
at the Court House soqu after breakfast. The
crowd at tho entrance to tho polls was very large.
While waiting for an opportunity to vote an Irish-
man was pursued through tho hall of the Court
House by an angry crowd but escaped by making
a dangerous leap through u barricaded door or
window. I was admitted into tire voting room
through a side door; found the oting going on
quietly and so far as I can judge there was not a
toreigncr in the room. Alter voting I went to
my store on Main street and remained until after
tell o'clock A. M. when the various rumors of
assault' and disturbances induced me to go to my
residence which is on Jefferson street opposite
the Court House and from my steps commauds a
fair view of thp public square- There I remained
uutil eleven o'clock 1'. M.
During the day there were the most dreadful
rumors constantly iu circulation of tho number
of Americans who had been killed iu tho upper
wards. A .number of bojs camo to the Court
House and armed themselves with muskets and
marched up town. Soon after a party of men
also armed w itli muskets under command of Capt.
Stone marched iu the same direction.
I saw no assault committed until about 3 o'clock;
about that time a large crowd passed around Jef-
ferson street on tho north side led by two men
who had a prisoner between them covered with
blood and followed by a numerous crowd of men
and boys armed with bludgeons' and brickbats
and one with a pitchfork and another with t.
liut-gun. When near Sixth street they met a
well dressed man. One of the crowd struck him
a blow aud raised a cry of "'Move him!" he ran
into the Court House jard and attempted to
shelter himself under tho stand erected for pub-
lic speaking but was kuocked down and beaten to
death.
The stand and benches in tho vicinity were
occupied at the time by a number of gentlemen;
but so tar as I could see none of them made any
attempt to protect him.
Those- who killed him immediately took up the
body and carried it with whoops aud hurrahs to
tho jail yard.
Iu conclusion I would say that during the
whole time from 11 A. M. to 11 p. M. I saw but
two foreigners except those ia custody of the
police.
I have several Irish and Germans in my employ
all of whom when I spoko to them about voting
previous to the election informed me they did not
intend to vote for iear.o'f getting into difficulty.

Statemext of Jos. B. Stewart.
Eeing called on to state what transpired of n
violent or disorderly character at or near tiio
polls during the progress of the election on the
(ith of August 1 would respectfully submit the
following:
I arrived home from the East in the afternoon
on the day of the election; and about four o'clock
P. M reached the Court House yard adjoining
which my law office is situated. Voting was then
in progress af the Court Houe the Sixth Waid
precinct. As I euteied the enclosure and before
1 had got quite to my office my attention was at-
tracted by a noisy disturbance on the Southern
part of the CourtHouse fronting on Jefferson
street. The building so intervened that I could
nor ct first see what wa3 doing. By receding a
few steps from whero I then stood toward Jeffer-
son street I perceived one mau was bemg knock-
ed down bear and kicked by a crowd which seem-
ed tt number about seventy-five persons or at
least as many of such a crowd as could get a chance
to aim a blow at the assailed person. I halted for
a moment to see if some of the many would noNlo
something to arrest the violence that was then
directed to this one person. I m an instant per-
ceived that there was no disposition manifested to
protect him; but on the contrarj he received a
blow fi om about overy man whose proximity favor-
ed him with an opportunity to indict one. I im-
mediate! v ran to his relief begging as I approach-
ed for the assailants to desist not to kill him:
"Don't murder him." Pressing through the crowd
which was thinnest on the side at which I ap-
proached I reached the assailed and endeavored
to rescue him by getting between him and the as-
sailants begging them not io strike lum any more.
I now hail mv left hand upon the assailed : a dense
crowd was pressing from the opposite direction;
I with the assailed was borne tastwardly toward
the stand erected for public speaking; endeavoring
to keep my baud upon the assailed and to hinder
with my right hand the effect of the repeated
blows aimed at him receiving several pretty
heaw jars upon my right arm. We iad now ap-
proached the platform-alluded to; (he crowd had
now accumulated to mv left wholly surrounding
my position.' I felt a heavy hlow upon my left arm
Tvhich onftirnrngmylieadjlsawkad been inflict-
eilbv amaa with a.hnndkerchief wrapped loosely

assailed. I perceived I could not shield him from
the rapid succession of blows aimed at him; I en-
deavored to push him under the platform w hen he
was. knocked beyond tny reach and being let go
fell backwards tinder the corner of the platform
his head ranging towards my feet. At this mo
ment a man with a hatchet in his hand approached
the assailed who was prostrate holding both
I hands over his face and raised the hatchet as if
to strike niut on the head iwo men intervened
between me and the a.-aileJ. I reached ovt'r
their heads and aimed to catch the hatchet. I
got but partly hold upon the arm of the man
holding tlie hatchet when two others got a foil
hold and arrested the blow. The prostrate man
was then picked up by four or six persons and
borne in the direction of the jail. I did not
follow.
This is about what I saw; and I may add felt.
The blow on my left arm was evidenth inflicted
by some hard .substance concealed under the hand-
kerchief on the hand that inflicted it. I differed
widely in effect aud sensation from those roc-en ed
on my right arm which were nothing more than
the ordinary contusion produced iu warding oil a
blow aimed" by tho fist; I s-aw the man who iuflil't-
ed it but don't know him ; I passed him as I en-
tered the crowd on my first approach.
After tho man who was assailed was borne
awav I remonstrated iu somewhat positive terms
against such brutality. I was informed that he
was one of those who had been shooting cut of a
house up town and had endeavored to escape
from arrest. I was soon afterwards informed (and
believe ttie latter statement) that this man was
not one tif thoce who had been shooting nor was
lie under arreet but r-poke to some one who was
under arrest when hu was "moved" and treated
as above stated.

On Moiulav morning August (5th 1?35 I was
at the Sixth Wind polls when and where I saw'
several pewum chased down tho Court ilmue
steps and run off the ground. Hon. Wiu. P. Thomas-son.
in one of the.-c onslaught. threw huu-elf
between the nssailauts aud their victim thus sav
ing him from further harm. Brickbats were hurl-
ed at' the mau. but luckily did not hit him. A
little later iu the daj another person was similarly
chased when Mr. Thomasson again mtenercii ami
in the melco was knocked down. About 10 o'clock
I was standing near tho door of the polls in the
Court House when I observed two or three per-
sons who appeared to lie principal fighters a: tho
Court House standing close to the door when
one remarked to .the other "Let's go and hunt
an Irishman;" the other said "Xo wait here
there will bo some hero after awhile." I then
left the Court House and shortly after Mr. Mul-
cahy an Irir-huian and grocer ou Fifth street
was" beaten.
I would in conclusion remark that I am a na-
rivn born American and citizen of Louisville and
am induced to make this affidavit iu consequence
of the report Of the Committee on J'ulicu made
to the City Council whichajs there was no dis-
turbance at tho polls.

Gov. Seymour o New Yorlc.
Wehave read the address of this leading Dem-
ocrat in New York. In it he takes up all tLe issues
of the day and very candidly discusses them.
Sentiments like the following give us much confi.
deccc in having the aid-of New York in the next
presidential election:
"If instead of correcting our own abundant
faults we must Iiavc a. sectional party a holy
alliance to interfere with other States it surely
should be arrayed against those whrt Live an uu-
due representation in our national couiicils ; who
have sought and obtained special legislation for
their peculiar advantage; who have demanded
tariffs and banks and extravagant and corrupting
systems of internal improvement The democ-
racy of New York cau never array itself against
the'States of the South who have always btood
by the right on all of these great questions aud
who have never desertod our country in the hour
of its peril.
" But we deny the necessity of oat sectional
party. Massachusetts will soon recall to mind
its better days and feel that it is unbecoming a
State to become truculent and factious because
the course of events has destroyed its compara-
tive consequence.
" Let us stand up for our whole countrv from
Maine to Georgia; from the Atlantic to Jhe Pa
cific Letusknowno geographical distinctions
but content ourselves with correcting our own
faults and upholding suued principles of gov-
ernment." lSAW'AM
The Government has decided that the back pay

The Subject of Statu Education. Xo. 3.
The two Cnlvcritlcj intend?.: br the act or Jan. 2Gth 1S39
to be the center of a general fvstem of education fur
Texas.
. The onlv argument which I have heard urged
against tho agitation of this great subject which
engaged niuch of the attention of the founders of
the Texiau Republic is une wbicli is not very
complimentary to the wisdom or the patriotism
of their successors. They made a princely pro-
vision for the establishment of these Universities.
Their wise act has Teuiained for 1C years a dead
Utter upon our code of laws. They appropriated
50 leagues of land for their establishment aud had
surveyed for our use 47 of them in 1SU. The
most "of these heroes and Statesmen hnvu passed
awav or grown grey with age. - For fourteen
year's thev who have guided our ship of State aud
whose dutv it was to have carried out the plan of
education" which they began so wisely have en-
t'.relv neglected it. Now when a t'vw individuals
are "attempting to revive this subject and to
awaken the slumbering energies of tho State to
action upon it and'to have it presented to our
Legislature we are mot with the argument not
that tho time isnot opportune not that it is too early
or too late for our law-givers to carry the plau of
their predecessors into effect but that they t:ill
not. We are told that wo cannot get them to
take up tho subject; or if they do they will lay it
down again without doing anything! The mean-
ing of which argument is that they will not be
sufficiently patriotic to feel interested about or
irifc enough to mauage aa affair of such magni-
tude! " .
I for one cannot be persuadrd until convinced
by experience that tho fctatesineu oi tins gener-
ation of Texhn Legislator have made such down
ward progress in degeneracy in 14 years that
they are too ignorant to bee uie true nueiesi ui
the'State or that they are too corrupt to promote
it ; that thev have become so debased and ener-
vated bv the peace and prosperity which have
succeeded our Revolutionary war that they cannot
earn on it work in tiie veni.il sunshine aud balmy
breeze which will cot them no expenditure of
strength blood or treasure ; and which was begun
bv wii and brave men amid the rude blasts and
darkening storms of winter. I cannot believe
that this great young State at this early period of
her history has suuK so low mat nor puouc ser-
vants will" not perform a task for her benefit which
will cost them no sacrifice while it will crown
them with honor; that they are too blind to sec and
too indolent or depraved to do what alone will
preserve her liberty and perpetuate her fame.'
The immediate necessity for these Universities
is so obvious that no argument is necessary to
impress upon the mind of any Statesman tho im-
portance of their speedy establishment.
Tlie remarks of -Mr. Jefferson iu 1821 in regard
to the necessity of having a similar institution in
Virginia arc "so applicable to the condition of
Texas at this time that I shall quote them. In a
letter to Gen. Breckenridge dated Feb. 15th lol
he wrote: "I learn with deep affliction that
nothing is likely to be done for our University
this veur. So liear it is to tlie shore that one
shove more would land it there; ami I had hoped
that would be given; and that we should open
with tho next j ear an institution on which the
fortunes of our country may depend more
than meet the geuoral eye. The reflection
that the boys of this age are to be the wen of the
next; that they should be prepared to receive
the holy charge which we are cherishing to deliver
over to" them ; that in establishing an institution
of wisdom for them we securo.it to all future
generations; that in fulfilling this duty wearing
iiome to our own bosoms the sweet consolation of
seeing our sons rising under a luminous tuition to
destinies of high promise; these are consider-
ations which will occur to all ; but all I fear do
not see the speck in our horizon tchiih is to hunt
on us as a tornado sooner or later ! The line of
division lately marked out (he alludes to the line
termed the Missouri Compromise) between the
different portions of our Confederacy iR such as
will never I fear be obliterated ; and we are now
trusting to those who are against us in position
and principle to fashion to their own form the
minds and affections of our joitth. If as has
been estimated we send three hundred thousand
dollars a year to the Northern Seminaries for the
instruction of our own sous then we must have
there five hundred of our sons imbibing opinions
and principles in discord with those of their own
country. This canker is eating on the vitnls of
our existence and if not arrested at once will be
bet ond remedy. We are now certainly furnish-
ing recruits to their School."
' lie then answers an objection to establishing
the University. First. On the ground that it
would interfe'ro so greatly with the finances ot
the State a to prevent the institution of Com-
mon Schools which many in Virginia thought
should be set in operation first. His observations
deserve our consideration at this time. He said:
" Let us keep our eye steadily on the ichalc system.
If we cannot do everything at once let us do one
at a time. The primary Schools need no prelimi-
nary expense ; the ultimate grade requires a con-
siderable expenditure in advance. A suspension
of proceedings for a year or two on the primari
Schools and an application of the whole income
during that time to the completion of the bttild-
iii"3 necessary for the University would enable
UsTthen to start both institutions at" the same time."'
The plan suggested in a prcceeding lecture in
regard to public Schools I hope will be adopted ;
but whether that or any other shall be established
for nrimary and academic education. thee Uni-
versities will be indispensably necessary for its
success and are needed now to receive the girls
and boys who are ready to leave these inferior
Schools to finish their studies in some such higher
Seminaries which I am sorry to say they cannot
find in our State aud which they have to seek out
of her limits.
South Carolina was wise enough to provide a
College for the education of her Statesmen U4
yearsTiefore tho University of Virginia went into
successful operation. Both of these great State
institutions have labored under many disadvan-
tages accruing from defects iu their systems and
the points of their location which we may
avoid in the establishment of our own; but
as lights of learning in two of the oldest mem-
berof the Southern States with which we are
identified in political interest they possess 'xel-
lencies which we should embody in the Univer-
sites which must form tho center of our system of
education.
Some idea of the great utility of such a Col-
lege as that of South Carolina for Texas may be
formed bv an examination of a few statistics
that period among it s graduates many of whom
have been useful and distinguished in other
Southern State' 1 find the names of 5 Civil En-
gineers; 5 presidents of Colleges and 13 profess-
ors : 9 officers of the United States Army ; 7
United States Ministers and Consuls ; 175 Phy-
sicians; 383 Lawyers ; JJo Judges; 41 State Sena-
tors; 147 State Representatives; 9 Senators and
29 Representatives in the Congress of the United
States and 10 Governors of States. Iu addition
to these I was surprised to find among the gradu-
ates of aa institution which is not a theological
Seminar' 1 Protestant Bishop and 7fi Ministers of
the Gospel. This last fact will be one of impor-
tance when we come to consider the question
whether a State institution which only teaches
the arts and sciences ought to be regarded as op-
posed to Christianity because it embraces no par-
ticular religious instruction in it's course of study.
.It is to be regretted that the founders of thee
great Southern institutions never had their atten-
tion directed to the immense importance of
female education; or if they discerned it proper-
ly thatthev did not make the same noble provis-
ion for the' intellectual wants of the daughters of
Mrginia and South Carolina which they have se-
cured for the mental improvement of their sons!
Hanpily forus we live in an age fully awaken-
ed to' the necesritv of the culture of the female
mind ; but so far no provision ha been nvde by
anv State commensurate with the magnitude of
the want Texas alone has it in her power to
lead the way in " tho march of nund" and to ad-
vance her daughters to the position whica they
mut occupy before any nation can exhibit tbe
highest development and tbe utmost refinement
in'morality inrelligence and every attribute and
virtue which adorn our race.
Unlers we begin in time to pay the same atten-
tion to the education of our daughters which we
bestow upon our sons another'age will witness

institution for lrf54. It wus incorporated in 1801

iu our State the lamentable consequences which
will result in abounding vice from this wide in-
equality which will be made betweeu the two
sexes by tbe cultivation of the intellect of one
and the neglect of the other. Unless both are
educated alike highly they cannot be congenial
companions for one another. There will be no
association of mind oetween them. Tho man
miist be a lord and the woman a slave. The one
inuat despise the other. Or the love of the hus-
band for the wife must be the affection of a su-
perior for an inferior; aud not th strong and
deep passion of a kindred ."oul for it's help-mate
made one with it by the divine law and w hieh a
congenial aud equal education should make oue
in elevation in taste ami sentiment.
Dr. Combe of Scotland in a lecture delivered
in Washington City souiej ears since presented
this Mfbjcct in a proper light to the American
public :
lie said : " when I was in Berlin m June lS.w
a member of the Council of the Minister of pub-
lic instruction for Prussia told uie that iu oue
particular the Prussian system of education was
defective. Iu the lower Schools the boys and
girls are educate.! alike ; in the higher Schools
those which are attended chiefly by the children
of the middle classes the boys are highly instruc-
ted in the elements of science and the principles
of the arts but the girls are negloeted. The con-
sequence has been that a generation of young
men has grown up who do not find the females of
their own rank possessed of intelligence ;iiuicieut
to render them ohjefs of permanent respect;
and domestic felicity li.u gutl'erod and is sulleriug
a perceptible diminution from this cause. What-
ever you do iu education preserve the women on
i loiitii-g of equality with the men. The in-
fluence of tiie mother on the young miiul is Jar
greater than that of the lather." lie" is often en
gaged in arduous trials to provide for the subsis-
tence of his family ; and he may have bnt little
leisure to communicate instruction to his children.
But the mother is the guardian the constant coni-
paiii.ii: and she cm be.if educated herself the
most efficient instructor of the young. But to
enable her to answer the ceaseless inquiries of
the child for information you must provide her
own mind with knowledge. To be able to rear
her offspring with success she should be instruc-
ted in their physical and mental constitutions-
and on the influences of the external agencies
around them. America boasts of her chivalrous
attention to women. Let her not neglect their
education."
Let them be so educated in Texas that the
chivalrous devotion cherished for them by her
sons may be founded upon respect for their intel-
lectual as well as moral worth.
To educate properly our sons and daughters we
want two Universities such as the law of ld'.VJ
contemplates.
When I examined this subject and delivered
some lectures upon it at the request of members
of the called session of tho Legislature in Jan.
Iri3:! I was under tho impression that the inten-
tion of the Congress which passed the act ol
1.-S5J was to provide for two Universities the one
to be located in Eastern and tho other in Wes-
tern Texas with a view to a future division of
the State iu pnrspect of it's annexation to the
United Stute-s. But a recent andjnore thorough
investigation of tho subject accompanied by a
carelul examination of the history of the act has
convinced me of my error. I am now satisfied
that it was tlie intention of the I 'resident and
Congress who madu this wise law that these
Universities should not be situated in two differ-
ent divisions of the State; but that their object
was to establish a male and female College for
ono University; or two Universities; one for
girls nnd the other for boys and to locate them
at the seat of Government
This intention ot the makers of the law is
made evident by these facts which arc recorded
in the "Journal of tlie House of Representatives
of the Republic of Texas ip the M Congress iu
1333."
1. In his message General Lamar recommen-
ded the establishment of one University not a
College but an assemblage of Colleges in one
system and under the immediate control of the
S'tnte.
2. On the 279th page of the Journal you will
find that the Committee to whom that portion of
his message was referred rceemmeuded the adop-
tion of a bill the 4th section of which provided
for the appropriation of twenty- leagues of land
to two Colleges or Universities to be hereafter
created " one to be established in the Eastern
and the other in the Western part of Texas."
But it was not parsed in this form as I had sup-
posed and as is very geiirally supposed by those
who have not examined the law. In the debate
upon it page 317 Mr. Holmes moved to strike
out "twenty." which was carried; and on mo-
tion " fifty" leagues of laud was inserted. Mr.
Baker then moved to strike out these important
words : " one to be established in Eastern and the
other in Western Texas" which motion was al.o
carried; and this er.ision proves that there inten-
tion was that these Universities shall not he sep-
arated and loeated in different portions of the
State. The act as passed appropriates "fifty
lengiifs of land for the establishment and endow-
ment of two Colleges or Universities here-ifter
to be created" but says nothing about their sep-
aration. 3. The came Congre-s by the act of Jan. 1 1th
1"?H) Iocat'-d the seat of Government at Austin
provided for the location of thee Colleges or
Universities in this City. The 12th section of
the act requires that before the first sale of the
City lots a sufficient number shall be set apart
most eligible " for a Capitol Arsenal Magazine
Unieersity Academy Churches Common School
Hospital Penitentiary and for all other necessary-
public buildings and puqioses."
Bv some im-aiis a most unwise legislation has
removed the Penitentiary to a point so remote
from the eye and "inmediate inspection of the
Legislaturethat it's affairs can never be so well
managed as if it were located where they could
be examined by Committees of tie- two houses
of the Legislature and by the Go- nior of the
State.
In regard to the location of our L mversi'tes
the wise intention of the law -givers who made a
princely provision for their endowment anil ajti-
dicious 'selection for fhf'r ite may be def-ated
bv a short-sighted policy in a conflict of selfish-n'-ss.
Their us-ftiiiiees'may be entirely tlrvnrtc!
or greatly impaired by an injudicious location;
and bv being removed from the Seat of Gorerc-
meiit "iiis.CKl of growit.g into magnificent Stnt-
institutions thev may linger for years negles-tcd
br the f.e"i..htiire too f.ir removed forir to v.e
them oroper attention : or they may fall into t'ie
hands of infidelity or wither in the grasp of some
bigotte.i sect! Such unfortunately for many
tears was the condition of the University of Vir-
ginia; and such is the fate of those of North Car-
olina Mississippi and Missouri.
Fortunately two beautiful s.tes have been re-
served for these I'niversirie with their College
in this citv. both in healthy situations and at con-
venient distances from the Capitol and the various
churches. ...
The ConTess anil the President who gave us
the two acts of January ld39 endowing ami lo-
catin" these State institutions were wis-ly oppo-
sed to their s.-juration and removal from the Seat
.r n..r.riu.MLr fur these nlaia reasons which I
hope will have due weight with the Legislature of
Ioj.
1. They should both be situated at the S'-at of
Government iu order that tney may w under its
immediate surveillance where the Legislature
meets and where eommittees of lnjth houses nnd
i.r..rr Tvnre-"eiitative iif the people of the whole
State can examine all their affairs. Where their
examinations can be m-iu curing tne sessions ami
the progress of the boys and girls in learning may
be stimulated in the highest degree by the exci-
ting character of these public exhibitions made in
tho presence of the representative wisdom and
power of the commonwealth. Where th Go-
vernor the Chief Justice and the heads of the
departments and a sufficient number of members
elected by the Legislature can always form an
impartial and full board of Trustee to appoint
the faculty and administer the coveniment of these
nurseries of science; and where all the religions
denominations of the State will ever bare a suffi-
cieut number of churches and family abodes situ-
ated around them to give the youths of both sexes
that private and public religious instruction which
they will need ; but which it is not tho duty or
tbe fight of the State to impart.
2. Thev should not be separated and located in
Eastern mid Western Texas respectively because
euch a separation would not only favor the idea of
a Jivtsion of the State but have a tendency to

California Elections. -t
We have before U3 the "Placer Times and
Transcript" published at San Francisco; Ciilftbr
uia. The causes of the defeat of the l)etooracy
are easily accounted for. The nuati strength of
the Know Nothings lay in the miiiiiM; district
where the China men and other foreigners wtre
regarded with jealousy as rivals in the search for
gold. Broils anil difficulties had taken ldnee and
upon the eve of the election several murders had
occurred attributed to Mexican marauders. It
brought down npon them it fierce hatred and so
inflamed the public sentiment that the Know
Nothings successfully used the pnnictu contribute
to their victory. Again in Siskiyou Trinity
Klamoth and other northern counties the Knovir
Nothings put leading democrats in nomination
and thus neutralized the vote of largely democratic
counties. Then there was the already unhappy
division of tho Democracy to contend agaiust
caused by the Senatorial question aud the parties
of the aspirauts were at sword's point against
each other. It retarded the clo.o affiliation uf tho
party dmireicd its et.thusiasm and consequently
weakened all its attacks upon the enemy. These
things have now passed away with the election.
Our cotemporary says :
All recollection of our former d"iwensinnre
we believe obliterated and but one f.-eltng one
common desire for future unity and harmony ani-
mates the whole party.
Here in San Francisco where all extraneous
influences were removed and the sentiments ol
the people were expressed freely anu vitboi.t
prejudice the Democracy rolled up ""'
like unto that of olden times when thev l.nttlu'
with the Whigs. So far a unprejudiced expire -sion
of opinion on the doctrines el know-uothim;-isinis
concerned the vote of San Francisco may-
be taken as a fair estimate and our fneiHi i:t the
Atlantic States mav rely upon it. It has been
eoucededthatnoeiectii.il in this city IiwMcr
heretofore been coni'mcti d more f'irly aad quietly
and fewer obstacle thrown in the way of a fair
e'.pression of the sentiments of th" mawa and
th. late result may b- eonsidered as a retiaWe
indication of what "the Deim-eraey can ainl will
do in future.
Notwithstanding our defeat it may well be
questioned whether there ever I.im li':i a better
feeling existing in tho party than there is at the
present time. W are conscious of our strength
am! know that we can develop it successfully at
the next ( lection. Among all classes of the de-
the next (lection -moug an mw --
mocracy there is but one conviction and that n
of a numerical majority in the State and hut one
determination which is that Ihe Know Ntbm-j
shall be made to (eel tin- full strength o it when
we met them again in the iWweHtial canvass.
Our friends in the Athntie Mates may rely that
the democracy ..f tnis State will not be swallowed
up by the vortex of Knovv-XothinxisHt. bite will
rally "around the old standard with renewed zeal
and increased enthusiasm.
The candidates fur Governor were Bifctor
