avorabie to the former, tbe Coaamitaloaer of

■atonta to the Texan Emigration and Land Coa-
iy, a* required by tbe act of 1853. Then it
vaa that tbe Attorney General took the*ieepoa-

At the rammer session tha Cammirsianer •

Tb* Legislature rehired tima totanctlon the
1 eume of money
|tcl; and when the aceount of tup iWn i
tne com in'tie e of flnance of1 the
fouse, they reported against the itém of 'eoaf,
lcause the rait waa unauthorlaad by the State,
view af the committee waa that >tbe At-
| orney General waa responsible for ***to. Incur-
i lu dlBance of tbe law and of tha legislative
efusal.
The remit operated hardly bpan Mr. Latimer;
I >ut then tbe Legislature could not sanction the
lent, that one officer, however high, «bonld
pommlt the State to an act of ¡qjurlou repudia-
ou. Tbe d legation from tbe ijolony, could
; sanation such a mevaure. And we praaame
|the present Attorney General will not take the
Debility of increasing costs which the State
I not liable to pay. Could the State even re-
cover buck the land, the moral sentiment of the
ommuuity would not rauctlOn such nn act of
ad laitb. %
A It will be pretty wcH underatood that theae
I'emorkl arc made by tbe counsel ór tbi well
abused company, it is as well to remark, that In
Lip posing a suit which wo think would be an act
j if bad fttith, we ipeak our sentiment* as a citL
en. Had we no higher motive than money ¡pi-
ling, we should say go ou yf\i% a persecution
|vhich bring Ibes into pocket*.
Bnt we feel loo much intercalad in tbe good
jt'aith of thu State, relative to her land grant*, to
llvs're so suicidal a policy. We (posit what wo
1'diow, when we say that these very proceeding
|:oward this company, and other Emprerarierr,
]liave dono more to render vaiuelem thu llbrrnl
] uud promises to ra'lrotuls, than «very other
■use combined. Unfortunately tbe injury
lappened to be to men who 1 t.md at tbe door
t every money markot, to whlcb Texan can re-
rt.
And every «Ingle application baa met with
beae difficulties.
We bare no popularity to seek, ami bat little
I to lose, and henee we canaffbrd to apeak plainly
We bare no unfrleudly feeling* toward the Ex-
I attorney General. All -we have to say, ia that
Lbe officer who doc* tbe dutie* which tb* law re>
ulalm was uot a legal demand against the State.
We learn that tbe committee were of oputioul
tlmt the uit was inatituted without authority oil

liny expenses that may have been Incurred lieriJ
nfore. or lór any that may arise la its furthei

ent to an extravagant length. The House byl
