he would had jumped at the conclusion
that the driver was drunk, or blind, or
had lost his compass and rudder, ami

logue of the “Plalnview” herd of Short

be sold at auction, near that dty on the

animal will be sold to the highest bid-
der, without reserve, as he is selling it
in order to go to Texas. The herd
consists ot sixty-sfx cows and heifers
and eleven bulls, all thoroughbreds.—
We advise Mr. Beatty to reserve some
of the best and bring them to Texas
with him. He could make no better
investment than to continue raising
short horn cattle in Texas.

H. Boyd, It W,
certain stand point! These pa-
pers aud men—still claiming to
be Democratic, but still abusing
every prominent and true Dem
crat, who wants the Constitu-
tion so framed as to make an
honest, economical Government
shutting out rings and subsides!
Still claiming to be Democratic
but advocating :-.,|g measures
and ring me:.; thus dividing to
some extent the Democratic
P^fty, out holding together and
utilising the whole of the Radi-
c I party, black and white! In
this direction they snuff victory
on the breeze, and with vietory
to such a party come numerous
offices, high salaries, railroad
subsidies, high interest, iucreas
ed State and county indebted-
ness, extravagance in all the de
partmen te of Government. And
upon this state of thing, such a
party, or at least the leaders of
it, fatten and thrive. Let the
people beware. An open enemy
may be met openly and defeated.
A secret enemy is to b* ferreted
out and made to show its true
colors.
L^t us all, then, be vigilaut,
for the price of liberty is eternal attend
vigilance. Let ns not be de-
ceived, for it is our duty to be
wise in this emergency. And
above all, let not a party name,
or a party man in name, deceive
us. We know what we want in
our organic law. Let na see
that .the papers and the men
that we support really want and
desire the same things we do*
To arrive at correct, or at safe
conclusions.we most look to
former professions and actions,
and to present professions and
actions—to former interests and
actions, and to present interests
and compare- these. Then see
if we are not unwitingfy being
lead into the ditch—not by a
blind man, but by men with
their eyes open, but who sup
pose ns to be worse than blind.
