To the Public.
With- this number the publication of the
"Texian" is indefinitely postponed, after an
eventful life of near three years. Ii lias
battled the adverse storms of poveity and
non-appreciation, with tenacity and man-
liness; yet we deem it time that it should
be content to shuffle off its coil," and be
numbered with the things that were, for it
seems to us that when a community cease
¿.to extend material aid to an enterprise of
more benefit to them, collectively and in-
dividually, than they seem willing to admit,
and are careless whether it is snstained, it
is high time that their wish should he com.
plied with. Many individuals have acted
nobly in sustaining us, but many again
have not only been content to withhold
their patronage, but sought every means to
discourage us. They have succeeded.
To those whose subscription does not
expire until the end of the volume,, we will
supply the " Texas Baptist," instead of the
•* Texian," and will also transfer advertise-
ments to the same paper* We hope our
friends will come up and settle their accounts,
as we are in need of money.
R. A. Van Horn.
Valedictory.
Dear and respected reader, with this
number the editorial "we" ceases to be
"We" do not intend by this that "we" will
be bereft óf'life, but that we are going on a
pilgrimage to some New Jerusalem, but
wbethét we will meet with the fate that
befel soate of the -Crusaders on the way to
, the Holy of Holies, we know not; but let
come what may, we feel that after a short
but pleasant association with the citizens
of Anderson, we will ever retain the kind-
liest feelings towards them, and will no
dotibt, before we end our pilgrimage—un-
less we get married !—wend our way back,
and drop in some time heuce, after the
fashion of Paul Pry, hoping we don't in-
trude.
That we have but feebly discharged the
responsible duties of editor, we feel certain,
yet having other duties in the office to per-
form, we could not, of course, pay that at-
tention to that department, which its im-
portance demanded. However, we did the
best we could under the circumstances.
We regret the necessity, as much no
doubt as will our citizens, that demands
the suspension of the Texian. A paper
%hich has ever looked with an eye single
to the interest of the community in which
it spent a useful life of near three years,
without bringing in sufficient " ready " to
pay for the setting of the types, now dies
an unnatural and premature death from
the want of ''material" encouragement.
For our part, we are sorry that our citizens
must loose so valuable an auxiliary to the
road to wealth and bappinesss—but, what
must be, we suppose must.
In conclusion, all our friends who wish
to see us off for " the States," can have that
pleasure on Sunday, at 1 o'clock, and if
any individual takes exception to any thing
we have said or done, all we have to say is,
that our honor will be sufficiently vindica-
ted if they will give us a new hat, a pair of
ten dollar boots, a gold eagle, or pay all
they are legally indebted to our Devil. We
forgive all persons to whom we are indebt-
ed, and hope they will extend forgiveness
to us. John C. IIepperla.
It is now discovered by some literary
antiquary, that the celebrated lines begin-
ning,
" When lovely woman stoops to folly," &c.
is a misprint, and that the line as originally
written by the prophetic poet reads
"When lovely woman hoops to folly," &c.
Dallas Herald.
We have heretofore regarded the Herald
orthodox upon literary topics, but when it
perverts the beauties of Goldsmith so pal-
pably, wo incline to the opinion that the
laureate wreath should be plucked from the
brow of its presiding genius. The original,
if we mistake not, reads thus:
When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And drops her pearls at virtue's shrine,
What balm can soothe her melancholy,
Unless it be an airy crinoline ?
The Intelligencer Again.
*
We read the courteous and dignified
article, in the last Intelligencer, with plea-
sure, and we may say, with equal truth,
to our great profit, for it occurs to us that
the editor has displayed a tact and aptness
in establishing a new law in logic, seldom
displayed by innovators upon established
principles. In the outset, the editor re-
marks " that there is.no difference of opin-
ion between us as to the internal improve-
ment policy of the State," yet takes occa-
sion to make the gratuitous remark that
we have been "advocating men for high
offices, who, from first to last, opposed
these measures." We were not aware that
we had espoused the cause of any man, as
yet, but were contented to oppose, un-
qualifiedly, the claims of the Intelligencer's
favorite, for two important reasons. First,
because we think'him incompetent; and,
second, because Of his connection with the
Pacific Railroad humbug.
The Intelligencer has admitted the cor-
rectness of our position in both instances.
On the one hand, its own language, to-
gether with the testimony of equally im-
portantwitnesses, establishes the first p^int*
In its last issue, the following remarkable
assertion is made:
As to the comparative strength of in-
tellect of the several candidates already
named, and who will probably alone, go
before the Convention, we think there is no
great difference; or if there be, the world
has never been able to discover it. They
are all gentlemen of good sense, limited
education, and no great political experience.
None of them are lawyers, literary or poli-
tical writers or debaters. But thev have
all served the country to the best of their
ability, when called upon, or rather, when
allowed to do so, we do not deny.
The above extract is explicit enough.
And now we want to give another precious
morceau, which evidently has candor and
truth upon its face. The Civilian, one of
the leading papers in the State, makes the
following admission:
He is neither an educated, nor a brilliant
man, nor a good public speaker.
To sum up his claims, then. According
to the Intelligencer, he is neither a lawyer,
a political writer or debater, nor a man of
experience in political measures. — And,
chimes in the Civilian—He is neither an
educated, nor a brilliant man, nor a good
public speaker. Here we have all of M. T.
Johnson's claims to the nomination, and we
ask the intelligent and educated of Texas,
are they satisfactory ?
Now, if none of the candidates now be-
fore the people are men of education or
political exponenee, we contend that tbejr
should be put aside, and men of learning,
and of comprehensive and enlarged views,
be brought forward for our examination.
An intelligent and far-seeing people, we
contend, should not entrust high powers in
the hands of tricksters, tyros, and men of
no capacity, and who might betray, or be
betrayed, into measures which would ruin
us socially, politically, and morally.
Questions of State policy often arise
where learning, political foresight, experi-
ence, honesty of purpose, and great firm-
ness are requisite, and would the Intelli-
gencer entrust the affairs of this mighty
State in the hands of men who are neither
" lawyers, literary or political writers or
debaters,"—lacking in nearly all that pub-
lic men should be—but whose sole claims
to place consists in the fact that" they have
served their country to the best of their
abilty, when called upon, or rather, when
allowed to do so f" And would not any
good citizen do the same thing, barring the
allowing part, which rather leads us to
infer that " they would if they could " be
open candidates for plunder and position.
Is a man always open to office, or is the
office to him, simply because he happens to
have withdrawn from several campaigns,
after finding he had but a ghostly chance
to succeed 1 Does this constitute Demo-
cratic patriotism ? If so, although before
we see a copy of the Intelligencer we will
be " across the water," we will come back
to Texas and become a Democratic patriot 1
We believe that the office should seek the
man, and not the man the office. We be-
lieve we hazard nothing in saying, were
" the people" to call upon the editor of the
Intelligencer to run for Governor—though
we entertain the idea he would sooner be
an independent private, but we wish to give
him a chance to become a " patriot"—he is
too good a Democrat to refuse honors when
thrust upon him!
It seems to us that the Intelligencer only
favors the claims of Johnson because he
withdrew on two occasions, but not until
his friends told him there was no chance of
his election if he should enter in the contest.
This is his only recommendation. Is this
a sufficient guarantee of bis fidelity!
We can assure the editor that we did
not intend to appeal to his pride in allud-
ing to the bold and manly stand taken by
Hon. I. A. Paschal, and Hon. E. A. Palmer,
in State affairs. We simply meant what
we said, and we regret, and we believe the
intelligent portion of the people regret to
•ee men of admitted inforiority brought
forward as candidates for .the highest* office
in the gift of the people of a State. We
are of those who believe that education and
capacity should entitle men to position,
when backed by known fidelity in the ad-
ministration of public affairs, and we de
precate that blindness to p.frty zeal and
party spirit, which would foistr upon us men
possessing a small modicum of brains, to
the exclusion of talent. *
Southern Expansion.
That the North, numerically, speaking,
is fast outstripping the South, is an alarm-
ing fact, and men are casting their eyes
around to discover from what quarter the
South will look for succor. Already are
arrangements being made in Congress for
the admission of two more free States,
Minnesota and Oregon, into the Union, and
before the termination of Buchanan's ad-
ministration, we may reasonably calculate
upon two more—Kansas and Nebraska
These will give the North twenty States,
and the South fifteen ; indeed we might say
only fourteen, for slavery has but a nominal
existence in^Delaware, and we believe be
comes extinct under her emancipation laws
in 1860. If this should l>e so. the North
will have twenty-one States, and the South
fourteen—the North lacking but little of
having two-thirds of the power necessary
for altering the fundamental law. The
residue will be furnished by Utah, New
Mexico and Washington Territories, and
this, too, may happen during the next ad
ministration.
The South, then, to maintain or even
gain anything like an equilibrium, will have
to acquire Southern Territory. Buchanan's
administration offeis us some faint iilimmer
of hope, asBuchauan was the Ajax-Tele-
mon of the Ostend Conference, and gave
lise to high sentiments of hope in the
hearts of Southern people, that he would,
if elected, go heart and soul for annexing
the Queen of the Antilles, by peaceful
means, if possible, if not, then by the via
et armis principle. On the other baud,
Nicaragua claims the attention of the
South, aud although uuder rule of foreign
powers as yet, the Anglo-American princi-
ple will ultimately absorb the country up,
a sponge uoes water. Again, the Cherokee
Nation, or Grand Indian reservation, will
one day Le knocking for admission into the
Union, and as the ludians of that Nation
are semi-civilized, aud fast falling into the
habits of their more intelligent white
neighbors of Arkansas aud Texas, we
canuot refuse them attention ; aud another
important cousicteratmi , tu mis coiuiectFótr
is, these Indians are large slaveholders, aud
if they come in at all, slavery would have
to come with them.
But with the startling fact presented tq
us, that before any of this territory South
will be ready for admission, all the territory
North will have been admitted, aud hence,
unless there is conservatism enough left, ii;
Congress—the North having two thirds and
more—will any Territory South be ad-
mitted into the Union 1 Just here is where
the danger lies. We fear that an evil day
is dawning. If to this complexion thing*
come at last, the only hope of the South
will be in seperation. What a heavy res-
ponsibility rests upon the President who
was inaugurated on the fourth instant-
May he clear the ship of State, and bring
her into a safe and quiet harbor, where
she can ship-haul, and where the crew can

Soapy.—The Dallas Herald says quite a
soan mania is raging in Northern Texas,

This subject is one which, at the present
tiée, is engaging public attention, and we
th uk that it cannot engage too much of our
attention. Heavy things are depending
ujon the solutiou of the problem of banks
oino banks. That we should canvass the
case fullvand impartially.and by this means,
sift the chaff from the substance, is certain;
aéd we more particularly should understand
tlie plans purposed for our consideration,
ajid not fly rashly at conclusions. We
know that banks work upon fictitious
cjpital, and we therefore should see that
tfce institution has guards thrown around
\rhich will obviate the awful calamity of a
money panic; we must be certain that
peculators do not get the upper hand of
us. This can, we think, be done easily, it
we adopt the Louisiana policy—a policy
phicli has stood the utmost commercial
pressure, and yet has never been damaged
in the least. The Governor of Louisiana,
in his last message to the Legislature, ex-
ultingly says of the present system of
banking in that State :
" It gives me pleasure to report to you.
the sound and prosperous condition of our
fianking institutions. In such esteem are
our monied corporations held, that the at-
tention of other States has been attracted
to the details of our banking system. While
the rate of interest has been lower for the
last year in Louisiana than in any other
part of ihe country, the stocks of all oar
banks have steadily appreciated, and they
are now bringing prices* above their par
valne; showing that capital is best employed
when it exacts a moderate charge for its
use, from the labor and industry which it
stimulates. Freed frotr all the evils which
surely attend a debased aud fluctuating
currency, we should guard against any in-
novation which would tend to destroy the
strong and conservative checks of our
banking system. The history of Louisiana
is too full of warning on thi- subject, to
render more than a passing allusion neces
sary."
To give our readers a better idea how
batik stock is selling in New Orleans, we
have only to remark, that on the 25th tilt.,
were sold " 50 shares of Mechanics' and
Traders' Bank at $109 ; 24 ditto at the
same; 40 shares Union Bank at 110.];
20 shares at 110 ; and a few shares of the
Citizens'Bank at $180!! That eccentric
dealer in stocks who made a wager of $100
about one year ago; when the Citizens'
Bank was selling at $143, that it would
bring $180 before the first of April, 1857,
would realize the wager were be alive."
Aud in two days, the 24th and 25th ult.,
the Banks negotiated loans to the amount
of $250,000, to planters and business
men. s
Thus it will be seen what influence
banks exercise in a commercial and trading
community, and thf t we of Texas, who are
eminently an agricultural and commercial
people, can do without a paper currency, is
simply chimerical. Even should weput up
with the inhibition—even should we sub-
mit to the double wrong—we are of opinion
that the State will never be rid of paper
thrown in upon us by travel and commerce,
from outside institutions, and that our
State is only persuing a course which will
ultimately drive her, in self-defense, to
throw off the old fogy restriction. We
hope this question will be a prominent one
in the August canvass, and meet that con-
sideration which its importance demands.
j£¡T The Dallas Herald thinks we are
" disingenious," because we oppose M. T.

very ingenious! By-the-way, the argu-
ments brought forward by the Johnson
press, may be summed up as follows :
