Wc are glad to see that' the public sentiment of the Democratic
party is gradually aettling down in favor of the importance of a State
Convention. Our excellent (temporary the Cherokee Sentinel in-
dites a good article from which we give the following :
14 One word as to the object of a Convention. Iu is to select such
men as ate true to their party and their country; men from the
utas.-es and eminently qualified to he the "standard bearers' for the
parly to which they belong. A fair and impartial expression of party
is desired and inun " good and true required to carry out the doc-
trines and principles t.hty have been known to advoca.ie. It is to
keep down aspirants men disposed to thrust themselves on the party
unasked and whose generous patriotism is not desired that the vic-
tory may be the more certain. The practical utility of Conventions
cannot be denied; They beget success and without them we can ex-
Texas Rangers.

will .wo trust command tho prompt attention of our aovcrnmont. It is verv thrilling interest :
evident to us that wo shall be compelled to use severe measures in order to
prevent tho continual occurrence of acts of outrage setting at .entire defiance
tho treaty obligations of Mexico :
"Dr. J D. Smvh a citizen of the United States has just arrived in Snn An-
tonio and from him we learn the following news: Dr. Smith had purchased
in Moxicoj nt great expense TiOO Mexican mares. 194 mnl -s 17 Jacks and 47
line Mexican horses; thennimnls were procured a short distance beyond Sal-
tillo. He had many detentions in driving his horses. mul for n cause what-
ever; btit hq bore it patiently. At Pari' ho obtained a pass and under its
direction ho traveled to San Fermndo'. and th?re paid duties on his drove of
horsfs mules &c amounting to $200 and took u pass for PresMo. On tho
llth of September he crossed at Preaido an 1 afier he had traveled about three
leagues on tho American side he was overtaken by a company of Mexican
soldiers from Prasidio under orders of the Police officers at that place; his
nnimals wero all takon from him by force and driven back into Mexico and
tho last hohcnrd of thern they were being sold by public authority . Dr. Smith
immediately procoeued t-.i the lowor Leona station and procured six soldiers ;
ibnt when they arrived at the Rio Grande the horses were in Mexico. Ho lnid
a full statement of the facts before our Government Officer at Eagle Pass and
they huvo been forwiirded to tho Secretary of Wur."
It is not long ago that one of our mail riders on the Rio Grande was forcibly
taken over that stream. by Mexican officers and while in Mexico tho mail was
opened and all its contents examined for the purpose it U said of subserving
the ends of the Mexican government in detecting the correspondence of tho
disaffected citizens of Mexico. With the existence of unstable governments
and constant revolutionary movements on the other side of the Rio Grande
we cannot ensure peace and security to the persons and property of American
citizens' on this side or the other without the'prosencejicre of a military force
fully adequate io enforce respect for out national flag. Wo submit to the
country the unfortunate situation ofour western frontier and we trust that the
viows of tho Secretary of War iu regard to it will not aain fail to meet the
action of Congress at the coming session. That offiecr well knows our wants
having not only traversed the Ilio Grande country iu the late war but as a
.United States Senator when acting upon the treaty wo are cognizant of the
lact that ho held out to the last for the position taken in Mn Polk's Cabinet
by .Hon. R J. .Walker that the Sikrua Madrb was the oi.v safe .and rkiIia-
hle line ok frontier upon which wo ought to have . concluded a treaty of
peaco. iNow tue country win begin to realise ttie trutn ot tins position Xlie
present insignificant U. S. force on tho ltio.Grande rather invites the Mexican
and Indian to rash acts of aggression than serves as a means of intimidation
io them. They find that they aro equal to tho(troqps in tho capacity to carry
out their ends and believe that our power; to punish is confined to tlio limited
ability of the small number of U S. troops now.at tlio po3ts. Emb ddoncd by
our poverty-stricken army tho officers and moh serve but as targets to sliooti!
at nnu mat tne inuiaos uuve uunc youu c.-iruuuun we wiwih inp loss ui somp
of tho brayest spirits of our army in this way will aff rd melancholy proof tp
Congress. There tho whole censure lies. With a totally inadequate forctfat
his command it is impossible for tho Secrotary of War to propose or carry put
any liberal plan of defences. Well knowing tho wants of the country his disk
at this iuncturc is mortifying and humiliating iti tho oxtrcmc. Well might
.wecallour army "food for rownKn.1' .

A Calumny in Blackwood.
" The htgh reputation of Blackwood among the Foreign Reviews induces us
lo notice the. following in order to refute it :
" In the suburbs of Mobile ot w.tndtrin-j through its streets Vou will see Ihe
remn;nt of the Choctaw tribi covered wi'A no'-hing but blankets awl llviitr in
barktenti. scarcely a degree advanced above the beasts of the liHd" fs34
Blackwood page IfiG. '
If it is intended to mean by "remnarU oftht Cho'Mw trtbc" the now existing
dehcendansofihe.Choriaws of MissNsippi it is but just io a must meritorious
and highly civilized race of Indians that a prompt disclaimer of the.calumny
should be made. The writer is ignorant of ihe Iribj and its location. Wo will
tell him that with the exception ofu anvil! body in Mississippi the "remnant of
the Choctay uibei'' reside on our northern border live under a government
divjdrd into the usual departments of legislative judicial and executive; have
ptinting presses newspaper and schools and are a well informed sober and '
industrious people. As much order po ice and probably more htippinovj' exist
among ihe" remnnnlof the Choctaw tribe" than in any.cotnmunily ofour trans-
atlantic neighbors. ..
