" Gcntlrptcn .I have just received your kind note in which you express your
approbation of riiy course as a Representative; and nsk me to become a can-
didate for llic same oflico nt thc.approaching election. Nothing can be more
grateful to the public officer conscious oi having aimed al a faithful discharge
of his public duties than the to'iowledse that his labors however humble are
kjndly; appreciated by his constituents. It Is tin ample reward for the doubts
and toils incident to the most responsible station.
1 " Although it was not my iiitention tobecome'a candidate again for any office
ret I cannot resist the wishes of so many old and tried friends to gratify my
'individual feelings or to promote my own private interests. You are therefore
at liberty gentlemen to command my services in .any capacity that your judg-
ment may dictate. l

these may be mentioned as ol the highest importance a system of common
school education. This is a subject always near to my heart and shall receive

'beg leave to ask your reply to
promise you to vote without respect
1st Do you hold to the doctrine that a representative should obey the will of
his constituents in his public course or resign ; or do you think the represent-
ative is wiser than they and should pursiie'hls own counsel '
2d.-' Do you think the boundaries of the United Stales sufficiently cxlcns vc
at present for her own good or would vou like to see her make athcr acquisi-
tions nnd it so what acquisitions and now would vou have her obtain them 1 "
3d. Would you advise an alteration in the Constitution so as to permit bank-
jngin the State and if so what kind ol banking system Would you rccomhiendl
4th. The State at present offers a bonu.s of 4810 acres of land for every mile
of railroad built 1n (he Slate; do you think Mai sufficient encouragement to
insure the building of such roads as are generally needed or would you like to
see the Slate grant farther assistance and if so what kind o( assistance should
itbel
5th. The law authorising certain counties lo tax themselves lor particular
purposes by a bare majoriiy of voles produces irregular as well as partianaxa-
tion; do you think such laws consti.utional and expedient or would you vole to
have such taxation prohibited 1
Cth-There is a law by authority of which penalties are Inflicted for various
kinds of gambling'" would you like lo see it extendea so as 10 prohibit match
and turf tracing and cocktfighting or either of ihem 1
ih. How would you like lo see a provision inserted in the Constitution nu-
ll arising the legislature lo refer such laws' as thry thought expedient to the peo-
ple for approval or rejection 1t And what do you think of the policy of grad-
ually applying thisprocess in law making until all laws are referred to the peo-
ple's decision 1
8th Our land laws though numerous do not prevent the existence ol much
litigation about land titles; would you vole for a law to remedy this evil as
much as may be?
Jib.. Our law of limitation fixes the time within which a settler may be dis-
turbed about the title to his lands upon which he has settled but in every in
stance reserves the right of the State over him; if elected will you endeavor lo
have a law pasred relinquishing the right of the S(nlc also to all seiners for a
certain number of acres not to exceed one league nnd labor for any one settler 1
Would it not be nroper lo prohibit any one fiom disturbing a setller aboui his li-
lie where he held under a regular chain of transfer from the grantee 1 Would
it not be good policy for Texas to fix a certain price per acre by the payment of
wtucn a seiner who Held under an insutncieiu title might maice his tine good I
Should not all settlers be protected trom lawsuits about the title to their lands
nnlil they have had one year's notice Ol the inldnlinn to disturb theml Ought
not ten years' undisputed occupation lo confer a complete title upon the occu-
pant he being restricted always to a certain number ol acres 1
10th. Do you claim each lobe a democrat? If so will you please state in a
few words ihe grounds of your democracy T
I would be pleased to see your answers if you think it worth your while lo
make any at as early a day as possible in print and in such language as will
readily convey your meaning and no other. I wis.li you to understand lhat these
questions are propounded with a sole view lo obtain information which 1 deem
important to enable the people to vote understandingly at the coming election
and loi no selfish or unfriendly motive towards any of the candidates.
A VOTER OF TRAVIS.

Editors State Gazette:
Wo of Trnvis county have 'among us many men of ability who though
worthy of public confidence nre lio officescekcrs and wo have consequently
very few candidates before us for the Legislature. Look at Bex.nr for instance :
tll(ri tllIV linvn T liplif.VA anmn rlnvnn nnil i nlinrfnr nil nnm.l' tn enrvn tlm
dear people and lending by their very multitude excitement the most interest
ing 10 uie ouierwise monotonous interval 'twixt now anil August.
Now can't wo make the race to Capitol Hill more interesting hereaway?
Are there no more ' Nags" to enter? Are Hamilton Banks and Glnscook the
best "blood1' in the county ? In other words cannot the metropolitan county
of the State which should have nnd which has the most rich nnd abundant
material present a moro extended line of men ot talent and inclination for the
represented to chose their representative' from ? Yea vorily ? Let us bring
another courser on the field only however on condition that we have confi-
dence in his wind should he enter the lists. The canvass is waxing warm in
every county in the State. The aspirants nre many nnd (he races everywhere
will be rich I Let us al'o have our fun ! Let the contest be keen and engross-
ing but at the same time in keeping with the importance of the occasion nnd
with the privilege of making our own choice of our representatives us well a
of our rulers.
Either of the candidates yet announced for tho Iqwer house of the Legisla-
ture would make a pretty "ood representative and would serve tho country
and tho peple no doubt to the best of his ability : yet I boliovo that' no one of
thein is invincible or tho only " favorite" of the people. The gentleman 1 am
about to piopose would be far preferable with mc to any one yet announced
for Representative nnd I am convinced this B the sentiinuntS of. tho voters
of this City and that it '..ould become general before election day'.'
I therefore sutrnest to the voteis of Travis countv the'iimme of H. P.
BREWSTER ns 11 candidate to represent us in tjiie House of Representatives
of the next Legislature. Those who have known Mr. Bkcwster' during nnd
since tho dark days of the Republic will cordially second my nomination to a
pan. ilo isjpopulnr wlieiever known though a gentleman to modest too make
isli popularity availublo nmong the masses. Ho is known to ben man of talent
and a writer of no common ability n inct tully evidenced in tho columns
of tho State Gazette while they were under his oditoriitl control. His opinions
as noting Attorney General I have often heard ranked very high. The heads
of departments nt Austin respect them I beliovernliove any others. The peo-
ple would do well to send him to the Legislntnie and I trust he will consent
to go. . ' .-M.

editor expresses the following sound views:
" Matters of deep moment to the prosperity of our State must soon be deter-
mined. We shall vole for no man if we know it who is in favor of eonMiuci-
ing railroad or any other improvement' upon money raided upon the credit of
the State. We sh.ill vote for no man who is opposed to the execution of those
provisions of our Constitution wlijch requires the Legislature to eMablish :
public schools. We shall vote foraio man who is in frvor of free bjnks. or any
other sort of paper money corporations unless ii is- a bank which shall never
be allowed to issue one dollar more in paper than it may h.tve specie in Its
vaults and whose stockholders shall be pei.-onally liable 'individually and joint-
ly for the redemption of its i.ssues Tesras can get along witnout thoie legalized
swindling mashines called free bntiks The prosperity of the working popula-
tion require no such in-titutions and if banke.s brokers and sharper can'i
flourish without them why all we have to say is that they need not comj to
Texas or if they nre here thev are not compelled to May let them go where the
people are willing to be fleeced.
" In resrird lo the position occupied bthe different candicates we have only
heard odicially from Mr. Pease. He advocates the e ting apart of 3000000
nsa permanent schoil fund. lobe invested under the direclior. of ihe Legislature
while the interest shall be appropriated to (he support of free schools. He is
opposed to ihe Slate borrowing money for purposes ol internal improvement.
lie is for ihe prohibition of banks. . afv. 1 . ''
" From the report of a speech in the Gazette delivered by Mr. Danoy at
Austin we lake it that In- is a whole hog Siateintenal improvement and bank
man. Between him and Mr. Peav we should nof hesitate tosuppport ihe latter.
From the five remaining gentlemen we have not as yet had mi expression but
suppose we shall in due lime. We cannot but view a mammoth State system of
internal improvement and ihe flooding the State with Nsuevj of a multitude o
bank." ns inimical and dangerous to ihe pro-neriiy and sleadyfadvaricement 0f
our State Entertaining these views we shall not support their advocates at ihe
ballot box." r' $0t

At a called meellng of Guadalupe Lodge held in Seguin on tlie Dili day of
May 1853 the following resolulious were unanimously adopted?
Resolved That any expression made by this Lodge will be feeble indeed in
recording the loss sustained by us as brethren and thecopimnnily in thedeiiiije
of our brother ALPnurl A. Wimums; but while we mourn we yet hope that
our loss is his gain nnd although we no longer meet him here iu this Lodge
we have every as-urance Irom his whole life and conduct that he is received
inlo ihe presence! our GrancLMaMer ihere to dwell in pence fofever.
Resolved l hat we deeply leel the loss .sustained by the community. In the deaih
of one so young and 'endeared 'to (hem by so many ties which will'be held in re-
membrnuce by all who kpew him for his many virtues his strict integrity and
moral worth seldom it' ever excelled and which we would desire to hold out by
way of imitation and example lo our brethren and the people amougjt whom
he dwelt and who now mourn his loss.
