That paper says:
"With regard to the resolutions said to have
been adopted by the Convention, ju-t before its
close, called in some quarters "the Platform,"
we reassert, in stronger terms, what we said vrs-
ierday. Further inquiries into the circumstances

the intelligent and enterprising firm of Coll

by Mr. G. Steves, is a pleasant stopping
place, and Mrs. Steves the agreeable hostess,
is an interesting American lady, who under-

rises about three-fourths of a mile above the

within a short distance of each other at the
base ol the mountains, forming a river of clear

into which it empties a fewt miles below.

3. That while struggling freedom, every-
where. enlists the warmest sympathy ol the
Whig party, we still adhere to the doctrines
ol the Father of his country, as announced in
his Farewell Address, of keeping ourselves
free from all entangling alliances with foreign
countries, and ol never quilting our own to
stand upon foreign ground. That our mission
as a republic is not to propagate our opinions
or impo8eon other countries our form of gov-
ernment, by artifice or force, but to,teach by
example, and show by our success, modera-
tion and justice, the blessings of self-govern-
ment, and the advantages of free institutions.
4. That where the people make and con-
trol-the Government, they should obey iis
constitution, laws and treaties, as they would
retain their sell respect, and the respect which
they claim and will enlorce lrom foreign pow-
ers.
5. Government should be conducted on
principles of strictest economy, and revenue,
sufficient for the expenses thereof, in time of
perhaps account for the remarkable presence ¡ peace, ought to be derived from a duty on im-
and not from
more ihan a dozen of the rest knew what was
doing. A Plalfofyt yw.de in this manner does not,
even "(Íeservfi~fhe nnrtii of ct fuice, which we yester-
day gave it. A farce is played before an auuience
which is aware of wbut is going on."
According to the Post, then, the Democrats
are without a Platform ; and it is not at all
astonishing thai all the disjointed fragments
of the (now) "harmonious Democracy.'' free-
soilers. nuliifiers, abolitionists and all, should
sustain the nominee of the Baltimore Con-
vention, who is ';all things to all men," or
just what the several wings of the party wish
to make him. Like clay in the hands of the
potter—Iresh dug from obscurity—his princi-
ples are moulded to suit the tastes of the
people, who, till now, have not heard of
Franklin Pierce, beyond the limited local
sphere in which he has figured.

of any detrimental results therefrom to the

A Tree fci.l of Feathers.—The Ver-
mont Register says that at Belden's Falls,
two or three miles lrom Middlebnry, a decay-
ed tree was recently discovered, which is a
puzzle to all who have seen it. The trunk,
which has become thoroughly rotten, is entire-
ly filled with birds' feathers. The downlv
portions are in n great measure disorganized,
leaving the quills, however in a perfect pre-
servation- The tree is evidentily maple.
How these feathers, of which there isa quan-
tity innumerable, should have been so thor-
oughly disseminated through every part ol
the trunk, is a great mistery.
The claims of our citizens against Mexico,
under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, now
filed in the Stale Department, amount to
somewhat in Ihe neighborhood of seven mil-
lions of dollars, against which Mexico has
trumped up some twelve or fifteen millions
acrainsl tha United States, under the twelfth
France.
A report prevailed at Paris that all amend-
ments offered in the Council of Slate to the
Governmental budget were rejected.

Washington, June 25.—The House Com-
mittee on Commerce has unanimously agreed
to report a bill for the reciprocity of trade be-
tween the United S.ta.tes and Cañadas; also
in favor of the repeal ol an act imposing cer-
tain peculiar duties on Spanish tonnage.. Tin-
passage ot both bills is considered certain.
Hard to Beat.—A few days ago R A.
Terrill. Ksqr., brought to our office a stalk ol
ry¿. taken from the farm of R. S. Wilson.
Esq.. ol Kaufman county, which measures
seven feet and tiro inches in length, and was
taken from a small'field of rye which produced
eighty-seven and i bushels from two bushels
sown. This was certainly a good turnout,
and we notice the fact with pleasure as an evi-
dence of the superior productiveness of the
soil of (hat county.

A Delicacy for the Table.—Aspara-
gus is just now in its perfectio i, and the follow-
ing recipe to prepare it for -the table, with
baked eggs, is seasonable: Cut t wenty heads
of asparagus into small pieces, boil them'fifteen
minutes, put them into a stew pan with hall
an ounce of butter, set them on the fire for
three minutes, season with a little pepper salt
and sugar; when done put them in 'lie dish
you wish to serve thern in, break six eggs
carefully over, sprinkle salt and pepper over,
and put the dish in the oven till the eggs are
set.

that extensive and rich region of the country

population. ,and made to teem with the agri-
culftiral wealth it is capable ol producing.—

JEJ- Though Gea Pierce, the Democratic
candidate lor the Presidency, never made an
effort in public lile that can be recalled with-
out an effort on tbe part of his friends, it is
eafad that the greatest display of his oratori
cal power.,
soft, a high degree of prosperity will be found
every where visible.
From New Braunfels to San Marcos, eight-
een miles, the country y' possible, exceeds in
beautyvtnd loveliness, any thing 1 have seen
on my route. The road runs along the base
of the mountains, with a gentle rise of ground
10 the left between the road and the moun-
tains, stretching off in beautiful grandeur to-
wards the horizon. Here, in the cool shade,
amongst the excellent timber, growing at the
base of the mountains, for some eight or ten
miles out from San Marcos, the country along
the road is dotted with the residences of]
wealthy, enterprising and intelligent farmers
and planters, who can boast of as good socie-
ty Vu can be found io any scction of the State.
To the right are spread out their highly cul-
tivated (arms and plantations of corn and cot-
ton, with the deep rich valleys and handsome
prairies in the prospective, covered with fine
d&rk green grasses, upon which may be seen
quietly feeding immense lienta of large sleek
and fine looking cattle and horses.
He who can look upon 6uch scenes con-
stantly passing in reviews before him in his
travels through this, his newly adopted-State,
developing itself with giant«trides, without a
pleasurable feeling of pride and satisfaction,

void of all liberal, refined and patriotic emo-j

National Agricultural Convention.—
The Washington Republic has published a
circular calling a National Agricultural Con-
vention, to be held in Washington City, on
the24th inst. The call is signed by gentle-
of high position resident in different
States. The objects of the convention are
stated hi the following extract from the call:
" The objects of this aonveuiio.n are to or-
ganize a National Agricultural Society, to
the various agricultural societies may
auxiliary, to consult together upon the

of the apostles whose conduct was most in ac-
cordance with the scripture record of apostoli-
cal conduct. But I may be mistaken, at all
events 1 do not set myself up for a judge in
the case.
Our city continues very healthy. The
Railroad spirit is increasing. The Harris-
burg Railroad a^|er a slight suspension is
again under way. I trusi. the Brazos plant-
ers may transport this year's crop to market
through that medium. There is room enough
for them and a dozen more Railroads in the
State. *

Houston, Ju ie 30, 1852.
The news of the nomination of Gen. Scott
by the Whig Convention occasioned conside-
rable disappointment with us. We had so
ardently desired the nomination of Millard
Fillmore, that any other name than his would
have fallen dull upon our hearts. But since
the indorsement or the compromise and the
national Platlorm, Gen. Scott will " prove ac-
ceptable to nearly every Whig, especially as
his nomination came to us endorsed by thou-
sands of the best Whigs of the South.
It is amusing to hear the apologies made
by the Democra ts lor the "obscurity candi-
date," Gen. Pierce.
No doubt he would have been a grea\ man
a real little giant, like him of Kinderhook, or
even Douglass, of Illinois, but for circum-
stances, and an unwillingness on his part to
minglethe of poli-
tics—as^it is, the ' protogeé of Gens. Pillow
and Cushing, and associate of Jas. P. Hale,
bad better keep his gloves and overcoat for a
New Hampshire winter, as he will not be
permitted to cross the Hudson, however great
his longings for ihe banks of the Potomac
maybe. %
Our friend Mr. Allen, of Georgetown, is
here in high spirits, and Mr. Kingf ol Crock-
ett, says 'bat Gen. Scott is the nominee for
that part of Texas. j.
exceeds that ol all Germany. Pennsylvania
¡nay well be called the Iron State of the Uni-
on.
A Washington letter describes an incident
which took place during the silting ol the late
convention. The Texas delegation selected
the prettiest young lady in the gallery—a
Miss Polk—and forwarded, through their
page, a splendid bouquet of flowers, with
their compliments. She immediately on its
reception gracefully acknowledged the com-
pliment, by raising and kissing the bouquet,
which was handsomely responded lo by the
lelegaiiort. They call her the Texas belle.
They should call ber the Texas Star^!
Prentice on Pierce.—The Ohio States-
man says that " General Pierce, al the head
ol the Democratic forces, will make a most
overwhelming charge upon the Whigs."—
■'May-be (lavs Prentice.) in the very midst
of the fight, he will chance to fall from his
horse, lie >vas never verv firm in his sad-
dle."

Texas.
The first permanent settlement was made
in Texas in 1692. by the Spanish in San An-
tonio de Bexar. In 1702 the French formed
a few settlements in Southern Louisiana, and
claimed the country from the mouth of the
Mobile river to tlie Bay at Matagorda.—
When Louisiana was purchased °of the
French, ¡11 1803. Texas constituted a part of
that territory. It remained in the possession
of our Government until 1819, when in the
cession of Florida to the United States by
Spain, the Sabine river was made the wes-
tern boundary of Louisiana; consequenlly.
Texas then became a part of Mexico, which
was then under l,he Spanish dominion.
Mexico continued to belong to Spain until
1821, when it became an independent repub-
lic. Previous to this period the territory of
Texas was chiefly inhabited by Indians, and
remained an almost unexplored wilderness.—
At this time, Moses Adstin. of Durham, Con-
necticut obtained permission to settle a colo-
ny of emigrants in Texas. He died soon af-
terwards, but his son. Stephen F. Austin pro-
ceeded to the river Brazos with the firsf set-
tler. From that period may be dated the
Americáo history of this State.
Great inducements having been offered by
the" Mexican government to citizens of the
United States who should settle in Texas, em-
igration began to flow in and spread ever the
fertile dominions of that province. The foi-
estgave way to the axe of the pioneer; the
wild prairie to the plough ol the husband-
man : and villages sprung up on the hunting
grounds of the Indians. In tlie brief period
ol nine years from the first settlement under
Austin, vhe Americans had explored the
southern portion of the province, redeemed it
from the wild beast and Indian, and settled it
wilh an industrious population.
Jn 1835 an attempt was made by the Mex-

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
TI1E undersigned citizens ofthe town of Wash-

HUNDRED DOLLARS tor the apprehension
and delivery into custody of any proper oificer
within the limits of this ótate, so that lie may be
brought to justice in this county, ot'oue GEORGE
P. LYNCH ; who. on the night ofthe h inst.,
committed oneoi the most colJ-bLoiiedand brutal
assassination*, in this place, that the annals oí
crime ever gave account of. The said assassin; -
tion was committed upon the body ot our worthv
teilow-citizen, Thomas B. Farrell, by the inflic-
tion, in the dark, of sundry wounds with a Bowie
Knite, which resulted in instant death. The
assassin al^o inflicted, at the saine time and place
in the same manner, and with lhe same weapon,
several severe wounds upon the body of our es-
teemed fellow citizen. Thomas P. Shapard, whose
:de now, (Sunday morning, 27th June.) is aioso
de-paired of.
The said GEORGE P. LYNCH is between
twenty-six and thirty years of age; about six feel
tiigh :'line round face, of rudy complexion ; dark
hair and eyes •, speaks Ireq uent.y and in conversa-
tion, uses high-sounding words, which-frequent-
ly are misa ppl ied and mispronounced. He boasts
ot his daring achievements in the Mexican War:
and frequently alludes, when among strangers. 01
■his talents, wealth &c., but his boastings are 01
such a character as to carry the lik upon their
tace, to any one accustomed to a close ouservance
oí men.
Tüe assassin, Lynch, is a native of the State
oí Kentucky, from whence he c?me to Texa
about the year 1810. As he has a brothei residing
1 a Limestone county, in this Slate, he may at-
tempt to make his way'thither ; it is thought,
however, that he will endeavor to get to California,
either by way ol New Orleans, or through Mex-
ico. 0
The above reward oí Two Hundred Dollars,
will be paid by the undersigned, to any person or
P;frs?n1' ,who>may aPPrebend the said Lynch, and

will be certain to be delivered into custody of the

amount with all reasonable expenses will be ?£d
tor his apprehension and safe lodgment in jail in
