expressive of the sense of the merchants of Houston, in
relation to the cotton of this year's growth, brought to our
market in the month of July," wishing to promote and en-
courage such praiseworthy exertions on the part of the
Planters, would respectfully propose to thisjneeting a
suitable present to Maj. T. S. Howard, of Washington
County, the gentleman who brought the first cotton of
this year's growth to this citv. Be it therefore

great riches." We are entirely dependant upon the good
opinion that foreigners may entertain of our moral char-
acter for an increase of such a population as would be de-
sirable, and without such an increase it is idle to hope
for a much greater degree of national prosperity than we
now enjoy.
I have said that the character of both of the candidates
is well known abroad this is especially true of the moral
character of Sam Houston what that character is it is
needless for me here to say, it is "known and read of all
men," and it is for you, fellow citizens, to say whether it is
a character which you wish identified with that of your
country; for it is well known that the moral character of
all people is supposed, and justly, to be similar to that of
those whom they choose to occupy important public
offices. Suffer not your judgments to be warped by the
false trlara of militnrv fame, but weiffh well the claims of
the two candidates, and calmly and dispassionately decide
upon their merits, and vole accordingly.
In a few succeeding numbers, I shall endeavor to place
before, the public the merits of the two candidr.tes, and es-
nocinllir their r-liimo nnnn the SllnnOrt of the mOTal POr-
tion of the community, and all who esteem an elevatrd
character for morality, a desideratum in a young nation,

resoect and a reward for the untiring eneraies vou have
shown as a planter, in having brought the first cotton ofJ

Gentlemen: I have this moment received your most
generous and liberal present of a silver cup, accompanied
by a very kind and complimentary note. I accept the
present with the greatest pleasure; and trust I need not
assure you that you have my warmest thanks for this un-
deserved attention. The compliment would be very flat-
tering to me did it spring even from a humble source;
but emanating as it does from the merchants of Houston,
a body of men noted throughout the Republic for their
liberality, patriotism, and public spirit, it renders me
doubly proud and doubly grateful.
Please accept, gentlemen, for yourselves individually,
and for those you represent the assurance of my best
wishes and most profound respect.
Yours, truly,

" From the Morning Star.
The barque Marion from London, arrived at Galveston
on Thursday last, with about thirty emigrants. We
lenrn that these emigrants are well supplied with the
necessaries of life, and will therefore be subjected to few
of the inconveniences that emigrants generally meet with
in thn first settlement of a country. We have a word of
n.Ivice'for them: in order lo secure health thev must en
deavor to "live just as they did at home," and avoid expo-
sure lo the noon-day sun. If all emigrants would come
prepared with a sufficient amount of money to supply
themselves with the comforts and conveniences of life for
ttu first two years after theirsettlement, they would seldom
be subjected to the visitations ol disease or disappointment.
Com. Mooke's Survey. This officer returned a few
weeks since from a survey of the coast from the mouth of
the Sabine for some distance toward Galveston, and made
his report to the proper authorities; but as yet none of
the facts developed by his labors have been made public.
The most interesting of these are such as are connected
with the entrnnce into Sabine Bay. We learn from the
Commodore that nine feet ofiwater can be had at all times
over the bar, and that the bottom consists of a soft yield-
ing mud into which he could thrust a pole, with ease,
four or five feet Hence, a vessel drawing eleven feet
would find no difficulty in passing over, as two feet of the
mud could be crowded through. In the harbor, which
is admirably protected, a depth of water from 18 to 30
feet prevails, and any vessel that can cross the bar can ap-
proach close to the shore. One. of the effects which the
knowledge of these facts is sure to give, is to increase the
value of the stock of the City of Sabine, which, at this
time is at a very low ebb. When the report of Com.
Moore shall be published, (if it ever is done.) that stock
will -cease to be hawked about the streets at a nominal
price.

TO THE FRIENDS OF MORALITY. AND TO
ALL WHO DESIRE TO SUSTAIN THE MO-
RAL CHARACTER OF TEXAS.
Under this caption I desire to address myself in a few
short numbers to the voters of this Republic, in regard to
the approaching Presidential election. I make no pre-
tensions to learning. I have no aspirations to distinction
as a writer of newspaper essays I have no desire be-
yond that of doing the Republic "some service." The
present is an.important crisis in our history. In a few
weeks the free voters of this Republic will be called upon
to decide who shall control the destinies of this rising na-
tion for the next three years. Two of the most distin-
guished citizens of the country are before you as candi-
dates for the first office within the gift of the people and
onytwo and while we admit that both these individuals
are distinguished, vet it is notorious that they are very
dissimilar, especially in regard to moral character and
hibits ; and certainly the right to scrutinize the moral
character of any one who aspires to so high a station as
that of the President of a free, a moral, and an intelligent
neonle. will not be denied by any republican. The char
acter, especially the moral character and habits of both of
the honorable gentlemen wno are oetore tne people tor the
office in question, is well known, not only in Texas, but
also in the United States, and to some extent in other parts
of the world. The eyes of both the friends and enemies
of Texas for that we have both friends and enemies is
well known are now fixed upon us with the most in-
tense interest, and they are anxiously waiting to see the
decision we will make in the coming election, ana ac-
cording to that decision will be the opinion which will be
formed of our character, by the intelligent of other lands.
To sustain the high character which we now enjoy
among all the liberal and unprejudiced citizens of foreign
countries, is an object to us of paramount importance.
OjV nation is yet in its infancy, and of us it may emphati-
cally be said "a good nam- rather to be chosen ihsr

The Life PilSd, and Phcuix Bitters.
A NUMBER of the following certificates, testityingto the
immense benefit that individuals and families are deriving
from ihese important medicines, have not heretofore been pub-
lished in this country.
MOFFAT'S
LIFE PILLS AND PHffiNIX BITTERS,
ARE A CCRK FOR
AGUE & FEVER, PILES, RHEUMATISM, AND
GENERAL DEBILITY UP TEE SYSTEM,
AND IN ALL CASES of costifecess, dyspepsia, bilious
or liver affeciions, asthira, 'sell'ed pains, obstinate hrad-
aches, unheillhy appearance of iheskin, the sickness incident
lo females in delicate health, every kind of weakness of ihe di
geMive organs. And in all general derangements of health,
the-e medicines have invariaoly proved a certain and speedy
remedy.
They are invaluable in a southern climate, where ibe system
becomes enervated and relaxeu, as ihey will restore vigerous
health 10 the most relaxed constitutions.
A single trial will place the Life Medicines beyond Ihe reach
of competition, in the estimation of every patient.
The General Agent fur Texas being desirous of introducing
thefe invaluable medicines to universal use in ihis Republic,
will make extracts from the Medical Manual, a book published
expressly to disseminate the testimonials given in their favor.

Sir I hav long suffered from general debility and prostra-
liorr of strength, and the diseases and inconvenjences consequent
upon and incident thereto, and the increasing celebrity and pop.
uiarity of your Lile Pills induced me to procure a box .ind I
tried Ihem more in the hope than Ihe expectation that I should
experience any benefit trom ihem for I had been (most scien-
tifically) "through many a course of meduine," which only
seemd 16 increase my malady bv lessening my strength. But
how agreeably was I surprised at ihi- i-ff-cr of your truly woa-
derruf" .(: Restoring Pills!" I have taken but two boxes in
moderate doses, and am already ano her man in feelinjr, if rot

most, llicragh other pot tionst ol my bady were diseased As Ihe
appearance of this eruption strongly resembled an aggravaied
case of poisoned tkix Irom a vine fn this cou. try called Poison1
Oak, I applied the lemedies usually resorted 10 Ior that com-
plaint; they however produced no salntary'effect, and the dis-
ease continued to rage until the approach of cold weather,
when it gradually commr-ncea aying, ana Ultimately Disappear
ed. Every summer since tnen, this disease has assailed1 me
with unmitigated violence; my face has often been so inflamed? '
that I wjs unable to see, and other portions ol my body present'
ed ihe highest and most painlul appearances ol cutaneous injia-
malton. I have been often lor weeKs unable 10 leave my bouse,
and during the hot seasons I suffered unmitigated pain. Per

and vou may therefore imagine that I have not tailed to use'
every remedy that has been recommended to me from a re-
spectable source. Such, in truth, istbefacu Ihavebeen ireated-
over and over again for this disease by the-most learned pbysi-

Friend W.-B. Moffat: One of my daughters became afliic'ed-
wiih a cough about a year ago, which soon led to all the alarm-
ing symptoms of consumption.' She was reiluced-quiie low in
a tew necks, and nothing seemed to afford her any relief. I
was almost discouraged, as the diwias.: wa-.one wnicn is gene-
rally considered incurable. Od using-some ot thy Life Pills
and Phenix Bilters, however, we-discuvered, to our joy and as-
tonishment, that she began to' recover; she took about a'table-
spoonful of the Bitters at a time, and a Pill every evening, and'
in ten days was on ner leet again; anoiiiaoout rotrr weeKs was-
restored to perfect health, and still remains healthy.
Another daughter of mine, who has been afflicted wilh-an'ia-fiama'ory
rheumatism, and who had been fur two or three weeks
under the doctor's hands, has been cured in the short space of
one week, by using the Life Fills and'Phcnix Bitiers.

Letter from the Rev. Robert Smith.
Baltimore, Jan. 10th, 1837.
To Dr. Moffat Dear Sir. I feel ii a dmy 1 owe to tb; public
and yourself to place al your disposal a case of a somewhat
novel character, in which your "Life Pills" have perlormed a
cure that no other medicine I know ofcould have effected. It
is asfol.ows: Abont the last nf June ult., I was poisoned by
the flowers of "Kalmia Latifolia," and again in October follow-
ing by an application applied to th- lop of my .head, which lam
convinced contained the "Kalmia." In bulb cases a violent
nervous prostration was the consequence. The latter case was
exceedingly violent, and of Jong continuance It stemed at
times that my nervous system "was entirely prostrated; so much
so, that I was incapable ol any aclive exertion for some two or
three weeks. These symptoms, I am satisficd,could have been
produced by nothing else but poison. My appetite and health in
all other respects were usually good.
Three does of your "Life Pills" have restored me to lull
health and vigor. For two weeks before taking ihem, I could
neither sing, read loud, walk fa-.t, or use any ki. d oi exertion ;
no w I can sing by the hour, read al ihe lop of my voice for -a
day, and 1 was going lo say run a mile; no. exertion has lbs
slightest unpleasant effect. I consider your "Life Pills" the
best medicine of which 1 have any knowledge, and I "would not
be deprived of ihem for any consideration.
Yours, truly, ROBERT SMITH.
Letter' fron Joseph Badger.
Dr. W B Moffat My DearSir: When I wrote toyonon tie
sub'ed of sending into this region of country a quantity ol your
Lile Pills nnd Phenix Bitters, my wire was in a low declining
stale ol health having had the a id of some of onr mrst respect-
able physicians; yet she continued to decline, and was unable
lo rise from her bed not more- than twa hours in a day, cntil
she began ihe use of yonr Pills and Bilters, about ihe20lh of
June last. She very soon recovered to a state of heallb.'better
than she had enjoyed fcr ten yetrs before, and is still in good
health; and in her advanced age, over sixty years, is 'able to
take care of her family, t find the operation and effects of
your Pills on my old wornoul system, now 83 years, the best I
have ever tried. I believe their general use has been peculiarly
favorable.
I think, Sir, from the blessing of Heaven already manifested
in the use of your Life Pills and Phenix Bitlers, jt may be ex-
pected that a continual and extensive rise uf ihemVrill call forth
ibe gratitude of thousands and tens of thousands.
Accept, my dear Sir, the sincere regards of your sincere
