elder partner, that he should bo credited on
his account with the article lent the firm by
John. John bi came excited, and demanded
tlie whisky, whereupon Justin placed his
l:and upon a pistol; at which John became
still more excited, Culling Justin a Jesuit,
an Israelite, etc. Justin ordered John to

AX ORDINANCE.
To dissolte the Union between the Stale of
Texas and the vther States, uni'ed untL r
the compact styled ''the Constitution of
the United States of, America." •
Sec. 1. Whereas, the Federal Govern-
ment has failed to accomplish the purposes
of the compact of union between these.
States, in giving protection either to tho per
sons of our p opls upon an exposed frontier,
or to the property of our citizens; and where
ji* the action of the Northern States of llie
Union, and the recent developments in Fed
«•ral affiiM, make it evident, that the power
oí the Federal Government is sought to be
mide a wcapm. with which to strike down
the interests and prosperity of the Southern
people, instead ol permitting it to be, as was
intended, our shield against ou'.rage and ag
gres «ion. therefore:
We the people of the State of Texas, in
convention, do declare and ordain, that the
ordinance adopted by our Convention of del
«gates on the fonrlh day of July A. D. 1845,
and afterwards ratified by us under which
the Republic of Texas was admitted into
Union with other States and became a party
to the compact styled ^tho Constitution of
1 be United Slates of America?' be and is
hereby repealed and annulled; that all the
powers, which by the said compact, were
delegated by Texas tJ the Federal Govern-
ment are revoked and resumed; that Texas
is of right absolved front all restraints and
obligations incurred by said compact, and is
• separate sovereign State.
Sec- 2. Tbis ordinance shall be submitted
to the people of Teses, for ratification or re-
jection by the qualified voters on the 23rd
day of February 1301, and unless rejected j
by i majority of the vote* cast, shall take
effect an 1 be in force on and after the 2d
day of March, A. D., 1801.
Done by the peoph of the Stata of Texas,
in Conveuticn assembled at Anstin.tliii day
of ,A D„ 1801.
Europe, as she Appears to us.
From every intelligence that we receive,
tho impression is left on our minds that
the temporal power of the Pope, Ho
Nino, is sustained only by the strong arm
of France ; were Louis Napoleon to with-
draw his troops from the Holy City, tho
'political existence of the Papal Power
would terminate immediately—for we are
much mistaken If then the Roman peoplo
would not immediately amalgamate with
tho Piedmontese and the other Italian
Nationalities, and become uuited under
Viotor Emanuel.
In this controversy, one pcoullarity ob-
tains, though not without precedents,
neitherLouis Napoleon nor ViCtorEmunuel
have over expressed a hostile sentiment to
tho Roman Church or tho Catholic religion.
Tho^both profoss to be the most devoted
and fuithful of her children, and although
Victor Emanuel has been excommunica-
ted for more than a year, his language or
his habits have not bocn changed or abated
in tho least, from tho strictest conformity
to its requirements. In tbis he is emula-
ted by the Emperor Napoleon, while his
cannon frown from the battlements of San
Angels, and his muskets gleam in every
street of tho Imperial City.
The Regiments of Sardinia, Italian in
raoe, and. conquerors bjr experience, stand
in tho distance looking with wistful eye
upon tho devoted Metropolis of tho Holy
Church, ns tho patrimony of their Ancient
Sires, and only await tho threatened exo-
dus of tho French to inarch to Its Citadel
aud to float their flag to tho breezo from
its parapets. ;
But while they will assume tho civil gov-
ernment of tho Papal States, they will
leave the spiritual supremacy of tho Tiara
untouched and revered, woulJ even rully
round tho spiritual throne and protect it
witltolhcir swords and with their lives.
When Venetia .nud Homo ovo united to
the Italian Nation, Victor Emanuel will
bo King of Italy, and a fow months will,
in all probability realize theso views.
Thus, while Austria may bo preparing
to protect Venetia, Hungary threatens her
from another qnarier. Hungary over-
come by the combined power of Russia
and Austria, lias never rested quietly un-
der the despotic rulo of tho IIouso of
Hapsburg. and only awaits the favorable
moment for repairing the treason of Geor-
gy, and repaying tho oppressions of
Francis Joseph.
The indomitable spirit of Hungary is
bracing up its energies for the struggle.
Ivlnpka and Kossuth have luid down the
programme fur organizing a provisional
government; when Italy strikes for
Venice, Hungary will striko for freedom.
Stripped of theso two provinces, Aus-
tria would sink into a second rate power,
and Poland then, might have some aspira-
tions to a renewed cxistenco as a Nation.
It is strictly in accorduncc with our
viows, us regards tho perpetuation of
'African slavery, thaf .we should desire to
sec the whole Caucasian and Sclavonic
races elevated to the rank and condition
of Freemen, from serfdom to peasantry.
As Agrarians we arc for leveling up;.in
the siimo agrarian spirit we would liko to
sec the African transformed to tho condi-
dion of our slaves, with the advantages of
good clothing, plenty of wholesome food,
regular work, and humanized, as well as
Christianized, just as our own negroes
arc—this constitutes our system of ngra-
rianism.
The forms and habits w'iich the Musco-
vites brought with them from A.-iu. have
lingered for Centuries, although brought
more in contact ovcry succeeding Century
with those of Europe. The Russian Gov-
ernment is still Oriental.
Tho serfs have been attached by custom
and law, to the locality wliwre they were
born, not transferable as our slaves but as
a permanent population belonging to the soi1,
owing labor to the Noble,«ho is the propri
ctor of the cstate,nnd there is a fierce strug
glo now in progress, between the Czar and
his turbulent and refractory nobles for the
emancipation of these miscrablo serfs, in
comparison with which, our slaves, in re-
finement, Christianity and in knowledge,
are now their superiors.
Tho experiment of the Czar is fraught
with immense and most important results
to Russia. Ignorant, isolated and untried as
they are now, unlike our negro—it is dif-
ficult to affix the degree of moral, intel-
lectual and physicul elevation, which the
proposed change of the Czar mny operate
on this clas of beings, or on the destiny of
that still strange and unknown Nution.

Letter from Geu. Lane.
The Columbus (Ga.) Times publishes the
fellowing noble letter, written to a relative,
and not intended for publication. The latter
fact is evident, and wo perhaps owe an npo
logy to the distinguished writer for printing
it at second hand.
Washington. D. C. Dec. l-¿, 1800.
My Dear Little Cousin /—With all my
heart I thank you fur your kind and patrio-
tic letter of the 10th inst. 1 atn proud of
you; you are a reaular heroine ; you are
for equality in the Union, or for independ-
ence out of it. Yuu are right, and I atn
with you heart and soul. I hope and trust
that Georgia may never submit to inferiori
ty. inequality, and degradation. God forbid
that any such want of manhood may be
found aoiong the sons of that gillan* Stale.
I know that her daughters-will never submit
to anything that is not honorable and just ;
they will never submit to degradation.
Death before dishonor is now and will be
the motto of the proud daughters of the no-
ble Stale of Georgia—then how can her
noble sons do less than stand by their rights
and equalitj 1 An I, if they cannot have
them in the Union, (and that is now quite
manifest,) they will go out, and, if needs
be. defeud them at the point ol the bayonet,
and when that day shall come, I, with thous-
amis of good Northern men, will be by their
side. Submission is (would be) degradation
—worse than that, it would be cowardly—
and I will take the liberty of saying that
my dear little cousin will not, could not.
respect a coward. No, the South mast act.
and act promptly, and go out of a Confede-
racy that refuses justice and equality. Delay
is ruic and death.
This is my birthday. I am now fifty-
nina years of age. My life has been an
eventful one, and unless coercion ahall be
undertaken toward* the States that may
secede, 1 «hall retire from public life. My
heart is upon it, ahd nothing but the cry of
war ahall divert ino from my purpose; hut
while 1 live I shall stand by the right. God
bless you, is the prayer of your cousin.
