The Democrats of Catif( rnia have

So he, the eagle-eyed, who sits upon
the watch-towers of Texas Democracy
(and we might say pockets by far the larg-
est portion of Democratic spoils,) doesn't
appear much inclined to take bold of the
is^ue just yet, and we can bur sympathise
with those unfortunates, who are accus-
tomed, to get tneir cue from him. But
already there appears to be some divis-
ion of sentiment in the press, not only
of this State, but'of the entire South, up-
on this subject; it is an honest difference
of opinion, and it is greatly to be feared

the people of the South, and their Repre-

doubt but Walker actually desires that the
State may be free; and we would be pleas-
ed to'see some other individual appointed

obedience to the law, we shall say that
his course is proper without reference to
his personal sentiments. ' This is all we
can expect of the administration ; if the

then the battle of '54 was to no purpose,
save for the empty honor of coming off
victorious. °
THE SENATOESHIP.
It appears to bb generally supposed that
Senator Houstou Will resign his present
position, and leave a vacant seat in the U
S. Senate to be immediately filled. At any
rate, as his term expires in less than two
years, and there is not the slightest proba-
bility of his re-election, it becomes a mat-
ter of vast importance to the aspiring poli-
ticians of the West, to decide who among
them can, with greatest dignity, grace the
Senatorial robes. As the place of Hons
ton legitimately belongs to the West, it is
perhaps right that they should have the
privilege of deciding the important matter
among them* Ives. Bat in conceding t us
right to them, we of the East should de
mancMhe same courtesy in return, and not
allow them, whilst preaching g nerosity,
to select the individual most suitable to
themselves, without reiereece to the de-
sires of tuat portion of the people whom
be is supposed to represent. The Eastern
member* shou'd dooide upon the man who
can best represent the interests and honor
of the State without reference to party, or
the forwarding of partisan ends. The
election of a Senator at the present time
should |>e regarded by every Legislator as
matter of the greatest importance; for it
might be, that upon the disposition and
action of one single Senator the very ex-
istence of the American Union may de
pend. The Legislator should consider • he
character and talents of the individual to
he selected, without reference to what, or
how much h.e may have done, towards
forwarding the interests of any party—
and from the array of names which will
be brought before them, let the selection
fall upon that one who may stand pre-em-
inent among his compeers, for his talent,
his firmness, and his devotion to the true
nteresta of his country, unactuated by
sectional spleen or selfish ambition.—
Should there be lio other governing mo-
tive, there can be but little doubt where
the choice would fall. Although there
should no motive actuate the Legislature,
save the wishes of the people, and should
the East he allowed to select tb£ man of
their choice, Gen. Henderson will be the
Senator. V;
Progression.
Gov. Wise of Virginia is certainly a
profound thinker, and an excellent origi-
nator in political economy. Besides being
an industrious worker, on the Old and beat-
en tracks, his active brain appears ever on
the alert, devising means for bpnefitting
his State. It might be advisable for some
of our Legislators to • examine into his
schemes of improvement and progress,
and perhaps benefit might thereby be de-
rived. Gov. Wise appears to have no fear
of debt, and although the State of Virgin-
ia is now deeply involved, he advocates the
spending of twenty-five millions more, in
the next ten years, upon works of internal
improvement—-arguing that whatever may
be the outlay she will be amply repaid by
the increased value of her real estate and
negroes. He says the value of property
within her borders has increased one hun-
dred million of dollars in the last five years.
This is a matter whirh should be consider-
ed by the advocates of no tax-paying in
out State. If by paying a small tax for in-
ternal improvement purposes, for four or
five years, an individual finds Ij^tjself dou-
bte as rich as before, he cou'd 'tot gram
ble much at the tyrannical law which had
thus forced him to become wealthy; and
if the State, by going in debt the amount
of two or three years' revenue, and at the
end of th«time find that her original rev-
enue was doubled and that she Would thus
be enabled to ^duce her taxes one-half,
we have ao hesitation in saying that the
people would be satisfied.: This is a mat-
ter that can be argued With figures, and
" figures don't lie." V :<
But the latest idea we have heard of. is
a scheme of Gov. Wise, proposing that
the State shall become the insurer of the
es and property of all its citizens, on th
same or a similar plan to that adopted by
the insurance companies, thus allowing
thfr'State to monopolise that business, and
add to her revenue the profits now made
off of' her citizens by the insurance men
of New York. The plan appears feasible
and is at least worthy of attention.
in his speech at this place said that for
time be h«j thftuti2hi pfjesjgoing his
seat in the Senate, for the purpose of re
tiring to private life, but was prevented
from thus acting, by having the gage
thrown to him by the Waco Convention,
which he considered his duty to take up
We thought from the drift of his remarks,
that his design in canvassing, was not
from a desire of holding office, but simply
to seek at the hands of the people that en-
dorsement, which he had been refused him
by the Legislature of Texas. In this he
has failed, and should he return to the Sen-
ate, it would be in representation of but a
small proportion of the people of his State.
We do not think he will do it. He has
been too long iu harness, and his services
have been of too eminent a character, for
him to consent to the tamishtnent of his
past fame, by thrusting himself upon a
constituency by whom he has been repudi-
ated. We believe he will carry out his
plan oi retiring from public life, and seek
the shady walks of quiet and repose. This
is the course which has been marked out
for him by his friends, and this is the
course which his own pride would dictate
as proper. x
Elections in the Southern States.
The returns from all the States in which
general elections have recently been held,
indicate the eutire success of the Demo-
cratic candidates. Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Missouri and Texas,' Have all
elected Democratic Governors, Congress-
men, and members of their State Legisla-
ture ; only in one State, (Kentucky,) have
American Congressmen been returned, and
in that only two out of the ten members
who have been elected. The legislatures
will, of course, return Democratic Sena-
tors, and should there be no split in the
party, the South will be as well prepared
to measure her strength against Black Re-
publicanism as she will ever be again.—
The American party will be virtually ex-
tinct, so far as power in the next Congress
is concerned.
Indian Fight,—We see in the Hender-
son Democrat an account of a fight with
the Indians, which occurred between a
scouting party of 2nd cavalry under Lieut.
J. B. Hood, numbering 17 men, and some
40 or 50 Tonkawas. They met on Dev-
il's river, somewhere in the neighborhood
of Fort Clark, and* though the fight was
close and not decisive, the troops came off
victoiious—the Indians losing nine killed
and twelve wounded, and the whites one
misaicg, (supposed killed,) and several
wounded, including the Lieutenant,

Great Britain's Designs on the South.
No American statesman ever studied
the slavery question, in all its bearings
with more earnestness than Mr. Cal
&oun. It was liis opinion, often ex-
pressed, that llhgland had been actua-
ted quite as much by cupidity as
by philanthropy in emancipating her
slaves. When she discovered her mis
take, in supposing that free labor could
easily supersede slave labor, and be
more economical, it was too late for her
to retrace the lost ground. She began
however, persistently to work, in order
to bring other countries to the level
of her West India colonies. She could
bully Spain and Portugal at any time
into submission to. her will; but is was
otherwise with the United States.
Here,,a different course was necessary.
While her manufactures were flourish-
ing, chiefly through the steady receipt
of the products oi our slave labor, her
politicians, philanthropists, and public
writers were on every occasion caluin
niating the South.
The present movement in England to
encourage the growth of cotton in Brit-
ish colonies, and thus reduce the price
and at the same time cause her to be
independent of the United States for
her supplies of that staple, is no sudden
suggestion. As far back as August
12th 1844, Mr. Calhoun wrote from
the Department of State to William R.
King, as follows:
"In order to regain her superiority,
she not only seeks to revive and in-
crease her own capacity to produce
tropical productions, but to diminish
and destroy the capacity of those who
have so far outstripped her in conse-
quence of her error. In pursuit of
the former, she has cast her eyes to her
East India possessions—to central and
Eastern Africa—with the view of es-
tablishing colonies there, and even to
restore, substantially, the slave trade
itself, under the specious name of trans-
porting free laborers from Africa to
her West India possessions, in order,
if possible, to compete successfully with
those who have refused to follow her
suicidal policy. But these all afford
but uncertain and distant hopes of re-
covering her fast superiority. Her
main reliance is on the other alternative
to cripple or destroy the productions
of her successful rivals. There is but
one way % which it can be done, and
that is by abolishing African slavery
throughout this continent ; and that
she openly avows to be the constant
object of her policy and exertions. It
matters not how, or from what motive
it may be done ; whether it may be by
diplomacy, influence or force ; by secret
or open means , and whether the motive
be humane or selfish, without regard
to manner, means or motive. The
iihing itself shonltmt be
would put down a]
Her the undisputed supremacy in
plying her own witots ftpl those o
rest of the world, and thereby more
than fully retrieve what she has lost by
her errors."
The thirteen years that have elapsed
since Mr. Calhoun wrote these remark-
able words, have tended to prove their
truthfulness. England seeks to-day
even with more avidity than then, com
mercial supremacy, to be gained, no
matter at what cost. Even with the
past experience she acquired in the
West Indies, where emancipation has
been followed by bankruptcy to the
planter, desolation to the land and
degradation to the negro ; even with
the evidence of the utter failure of the
free labor system of her one hundred
and thirty millions of dependents in
the East Indies—labor so unprofitable
joined as it is to a military rule of the
severest nature, that with all the nat-
ural wealth of England's possessions in
the East, they actually do not pay ex-
penses ; she still eagerly strives to inter-
fere with Southern institutions.
Sheasfras innumerable emissaries at
who are working constantly to bring
ruin to the cotton fields of the South.
No falsehood is too base for them, no
misrepresentation too glaring, no ex-
travagance too absurd. Their women
travesty men, in their eagerness to
gratify "their morbid vanity ; their men
receive cuffs and kicks, and show less
than woman-spirit—but still their ton-
gues and pens wag on. Eagerly are
their words re-copied into Etiglish pa-
pers and read from the platform of
Exeter Hall, and thus is the mind of
the people of England abused—for eve-
ry Southern journal is carefully exclu-
ded from their sight, lest they should
become lamiliar with the true state of
our affairs. s.ot>
The manufacturers of Lancashire have
succeeded in carrying the cotton ques-
tion into the House ol Commons, and
we presume each year a florid debate
will take place there, the facts being
borrowed from Mrs. Stowe's romances
and Mr. Greeley's Tribune and the
charitable spirit displayed by beinsr
that of Judas .Iscariot rather than
Christian men. ....

One'of the irioiVekriraordinary cases ever
brought before a legal tribunal was witness
e I in the Police Court on Saturday, An
offi.-er complained qTf a young and remaik
afcfy handsome for obsuttGtteg the
sidewalks of Washington street by too
great a display of crinoline. As it is un
derstood that the lady is highly connected
we will call her Mary Smith, and not ex-
pose her true name. -
Before the complaint wa9 read, Judge
Russell incjttired as to th« whereabouts ol
the prisoner. The officer replied, that the
lady was waiting in the entry ; that him-
self and two others' had endeavored to
squeeze her through the doorways, but
they were too narrow, and he wished the
Judge's advice in the premises.
The Judge ?aid that it was an extraor-
dinary case—the constitution guaranteed
to every one an open trial but he would
not hold a session in the entrv even to
please a lady. Under'he circumstances,
he recommended that Miss Smith be mov-
e from the entry to the front door, and
he thought that she must spread consid
erable not to be able to take her place in
the prisoner's box.
The experiment was tried and found to
answer jd:nirab;y—the door being soma
twenty fee: wide, very little compressing
was necessary and with a frown Of indig-
nation upon her pretty brow. Miss Smith
tound herself face to face with the Judge,
and listened to the complaint which was
read to her.
The officer testified that half a dozen
times during the week he had befen obliged
to step from the sidewalk to enable the de-
fendant to pass. Once he came very near
being run over by a passing carriage, and
he enquired of the Judge whether the
city government would have allowed a
pei sion to his widow & case he bad been
killed.
The J odge said that he should reserve
his opinion until some time next week on
that point, and inquired whether the cir-
cumference of the lady was not produced
by natural causes.
The police o^icer said that he was the
father ^f sixteen children, and if he was
lucky' he expected an addition to his fam*
tly next month. He had never known
his wife to occupy half so much space as
Miss Smith, and he hoped she never would
as he disliked twins.
The court rebuked the levity of the
man and told him he roust trust to.Prov-
Jence.
The officer said that he should, but if
Providence continued to favor him, he
meant to petition for an increase of sal-
ary, and he thought that he ought to
have it.
The court intimated that his remarks
were irrelevant to the case, and iuquired
if he had any further testimony to offer
The officer said that he had. He had
requested the prisoner two or three times
not to stop on tho sidewalk, as people
were unable to pass without going into
the street, which at times was iuconveui-
ent to ladies wearing papeir-soled shoes,
