that von will go back to Austin in a
better temper than you appeared to
be in wh<;n you. were there before,
and that you will all work harmoni-
ously together and adjourn when yon
get through.
We are aware, tlat most of you
were not accustomed to such businees
aad had much to learn before you
could get rightly to work ; and as
three months time was too short for
you|to educate yourselves in, you
very prudently took a rest on it; be-
sides there appeared to be too great
a scarcity of money in the treasury
to keep your school going any longer
at that time; so you sent out and
got plecty of the needful, to keep
you going a good while, if you should
choose to do so, but my advice to you
is not to do so. Most of yon are out
of your element. You have aspired
to s position not suited to your capac-
ity, and the sooner you get out of it,
the better it will be for everybody.
But an you are there, we wish you to
make a constitution before you go
home again, and one that the people
of Texas will accept, and one that
the general government will approve
and that everybody will be satisfied
with. Dou't again be led off the
track by designing. ones, and go to
legislating and sending out to inves-
tigate lawlessness and crime ; nor to
quarrelling about dividing the State.
You were not sent theie for any such
pnrpose, and it is only an unwarrant-
ed assnmp'ion of power for you to
meddle with such things. We would
suggest that you rub out all that has
been done, and start anew. It has
been conceived in iniquity and brought
forth in siu; and the sooner it is
blotted out of th * book of remem-
brance the better it will be. There
is much error iu it. Many things
that nobody approves, and ten chan
ces to one, if you try to amend it
you will make it worse. We can
recollect when a Bchoolboy, of often
getting puzzled with problems in ar-
ithmetic, and the more we tried to
correct th3 errois we had made, the
worse it would get, we always found
if best to rnb out and itart anew. If
a key could be gotten hold of, we
always succeeded in getting it right
by ttat. We would suggest that
you consult the key, you have one at
hand—the old Texas State Constitu-
tion—adopt that as nearly as you
can. Make only such alterations as
are actually required by the general
government, and in a weeks time
you can offer to the people of Texas
a constitution that they will accept
and respect. That is a good one, and
no body can reasonably object to it.
It is time honored. It was made by
the fathers of Texas independence.
Although they were rebeb, they
were successful ones, and that sancti-
fied their rebellion. They were the
pioneers of Texas, they endured all
toils and privations of a rough and
unfriendly country ; drove back the
savage foe, and overcame a powerful
enemy to them and the country, and
cleared the way fox you and I to
come and enjoy the blessings provid-
ed for us. Although many of them
are dead and gone, yet they speak
and will ever speak through their il-
lustrious deeds and good example-
They made that old constitution and
stood by it, it was pronounced a
good one by the people, aud was ac-
cepted by the United Slates Govern-
ment, and in all probability would be
again; the people of Texas have
long lived and prospered under it;
all the laws of the State have been
mado in accordance with it, and most
of them have been judiciously inter
preted, and are understood by the
people. It is not to be expected that
you should please everybody, but
this" is a matter that a majority of
the people must be satisfied with, and
we feel confident that the old State
Constitution, with as few changes as
possible, will come nearer satisfying
a majority of the people, than any
new one you are liable to make. It
is very desirable that the constitution
should be such as the people will ac-
cept, in order that the long distracted
state of our country may become
qnieted. We need peace and stabil-
ity of government, no radical changes
or prescriptive policy is likely to suc-
ceed. You have it in your power to
offer *to the people of Texas a con-
stitution which they will accept and
be satisfied with. Rise above all
your little party prejudices and act
* the good of the State. Show
yourselves worthy of the posit^

The New Constitution.
The Houston Telpgraph of the
24th contains a strong appeal to the
Democratic press of Texas, urging
an expression in favor of accepting a
fair and honorable constitution if
such should be made. We do not
know that the Convention cares much
about the opinions or expressions of
the Democratic press of Texas, but
we have never had any doubts about
tbe people accepting a good constitu-
tion. So far as we are individually
concerned, it makes but little differ-
ence to u3, and we do not think it
does to the masses of the people, who
makes the constitution, or by what
authority it is made, provided it be a
good one, and finited to tbe want3 of
the people of the State. We believe
the best poliev to be the best princi-
pal in political affairs. We would
hate very much to see Texas placed
in the condttiou of Alabama, Louisi-
ana and Tennessee, or any of the re-
constructed States, and we think that
their condition should be a warning
to the Texas Convention, to avoid
th« extreme measures adopted by the
Conventions of those States. We
would be glad if the Convention
wonld offer to the people, snch a
constitution as they will be pleased
with, and that they will accept,' and
we are almost inclined to believe they
will do it.
ShepMi llems.—The election for
delegates from Bell, Mclennan and
Falls counties, says the Waco Regis-
ter, "after thee days".patient iucuba-
tion resulted in the election of a gen-
uine specimen of the genus .African
whose ni:nie is Shep Mullens."
"Judge Reagan, Dr. Taylor, Bill
Read and other gentlemen of the
plain sort, came out early in the can-
vass, but with all their eloquence,
cards, etc., they have been laid most
completely in tbe shade by tbi* vul-
canized son of Ilam." Sliep receiv-
ed at Waco 527 votes. The highest
number receive.! by any white can-
didate was 76. In Falls Shep got
339, against 22 for Judge Reagan,
his highest competitor. McLennan
and Falls give Shep a majority of
69S, which Bell will not overcome
even if it also has not gone for
Shep.
The Henderson Times, comment-
ing on the tbe speech of Judge Evans
at Tyler, says of the coming consti-
tution :
"It will be time enough to consid-
the questiou of adoption or rejection
after the "mountain in labor is de-
livered." The whole reconstruction
question, in the language of the de-
ceased Thad. Stevens, is outside the
Constitution. If it is adopted, we
will only have a defacto government
—if rejected, we will have a military
govj rnment—that is all. 'Let us have
peace.' "

room white Iábor, and while stnall
farms to these who may wish to truck
or introduce new crops or new mod-
els of culture, may be made very prof-
itable, large farms are considered es-
sential to the successful Cultivation of
tobacco and other staples, and for this
cull'vat ion the reliance must be
placed u jon the blacks. While someof
these will not work, it is recommended
that thosa who are available
should be warmly encouraged, should
have comfortable dwelling, with five
or ten acres of land for their families
to cultivate, and with such other priv-
* v
ileges as may tend to better their con-
dition. A kind and liberal and for-
bearing treatment of the negro, and
an earnest effort to promote his well-
being, are dictated not more by con-
siderations of humanity than of sound
policy and self-interest." These sen-
timents are of significance, coming
from an ancient Virginia journal,
whose relations to and understanding
of the landholdiug interests of that
State, it is to be presumed are such
as to enable it lo speak on the subject
intelligently. The vast amount of la-
bor now in the South, and which has
been the product of generations,
ought to be considered a blessing and
may be made such, both to the South
and to the country, if it can be kept
clear of tbe disorganizing influences
of political agitation. The practical
direc tion which Southerners are taking
• O
upon this and other kindred subjects
are of happy augury. While, of
course a free and sell governing polit-
ical condition is of paramount impor-
tance, yet if that section in view of

of idqsfrial and physical resources, it
