Wo find ilia lato number of the Gulf
Key, (Lavaca,) an excellent article p.u tlie
present political condition of the Union
. AVe muko tho following extracts, com-
mending the views advanced to thoi care-
ful consideration of all reflecting minds ;
"Tho determination of our Northern
foes, the abolitionists, to run ther candi
dates, Lincoln and Hamlin, purely on sec-
tional grounds, is tin event that may bo re-
garded "by the South as an evidence of tho
i commencement' of tho •"irrepressible con-
flict,' and it behoves us to usé all our
energies to counteract their mad efforts
by uniting on Breckinridge and Lane, that
the Unjon may bo preserved. ^11 south-
erners without any circumlocution, should
cast aside ptii ty interests and trivial pre-
judices, and endeavor to clcct ,these truly
"conservativo.meii—who would fully sus
tain the ttlnets of tho Constitution at.all
hazards, and bring peace end.quictness to
< ur now distracted country. If tho South

is nota shadow of doubt but wliattheabb-
litiouits of tho North will succeed in elect

i-Tbo greatest excitement prevails, at
this timo, all over Eastern Texas, i« con-
sequenfe of tho ló,to successful attempts
toluy waste our country'by tbo torch of
the incondiary. - •
The celebrated John Brown raid wa
mere child's play, in comparison with the
state of things which now exists in. Texas.
A most fearful and diabolical plot has
been discovered in this section, to burn
our.towns, murder," by poison, our oiti-
zcus, and perpetrate other deeds of crime,
at thf very thought' of which, the blood
rilns cold with horror. 1
On Sunday night last, August 5, 'the
beautiful and flourishing town of Hender-
'í lgon. dist «>* from this place, about thirty-
" fivo miles, was .almost completely aestroy-
ed by fire, but two or tbíoó business hotis-
es eseaping.
The tiro broke out''simultaneously in
throe pr four different places,: and in a
very short space of time, all of. the hous-
es oil the pfitilio squard were in fliimes.
Every thing was so dry, that ovéry exer-
ti'ón to arrest the progress of the flames,
was futile,-and in a few moments the bus-
iness part of. town was in ashes. ' Tno
dovlish work.was accomplished a little' af-
ter sundown, and just beforo dark, while
everybody was at supper. The patrol
had just left tljo square., when <ho flames
br'oko out. We understand thai a gilite
tñaií und two negroes liavo boon atrested.
Wo regret our inability to give the-par-
ticulars in this isó'uo, but' will Lavé them
by our next, nppenjanco. '
Col. Long, of San Antonio, who reached
this place last night, informs us that large
quantities, of- strychnine have been dis-
covered in tho possession <if negroes and
whito'men at Tennessee Colony,-in Ander-
son connty, and that two whito dpvils,
(.abolitionists) wore publicly bung at tlio
latter piuco on yoBtfirday. Tlip proof of
their complicity was incontroyertable, and
tlio wretches were immediately Strang up
on the nearest tree.
Tho rcpóvt has just reached hero tint
tho town of Bejloviów, in liiislc county,
was burned ou Saturday night last.
Tho muil ride# from Gilmer informs us
that ho has authentic information, that
Daogerfield, in Titus county, Was totally
destroyed by fire on Sunday night-
Wo liavo direct news from Athens, in
Henderson county, that ono well was pois-
oned in that place, on Sunday night, and
that upon investigation, over one hundred
bottles of strychnino were found ill.the
possession ot tho negroes. ■ After a so-
vere punishment, tho latter related the
particulars of the plo t—which was to poi-
son all the public and private wells in the
town on Sunday night—to poison',' as far
-v-najiUilr. tin) fujirliy brcakfiist, alld'thti

supplied.) to completo the fiendish work.
Alt the old women and young children
werejto bo murdered, and * * *
So far as wo liavo heard, tlie negroes, be-
ing examingjl separately, tell exactly the
samo story, tho truth of which wo cannot
for a moment doubt. ■
Th« only reason why Tvlor lias been
