If there is religions freedom, it is ccrtain that
moral accountability cannot be placed on tlie
shoulders of thc rulers. The Constitution of
our country—the Constitution of thedilKrcnt
States of the Union have engrafted into them
this noble principle, and it is fiow moving
over every nation and land ; and if we ex-
amine the history of the past, and take sac-

response must be that all mankind are to

has shone for the good of all.

FACTS ARE ^STUBBORN THINGS.
S-unc few weeks ago We published in the
Texan an article headed " Celebrated Con-
spiracies" in which we alluded to ;evcral of
thc most important conspiracies that have
been recorded in the history of the past: and
among them we placed the celebrated "Know
Nothing Conspiracy" of 1854. This term
conspiracy seemed to startle some of ourpo*
of hi* own conscience, properly enlightened litic.il opponents : but we mentioned the term

greatest impediment to the progress of reli-

By adopting this as a railway jontc: all tun-

not apply to the great mass of those honest

MEETING OF TIIE DEMOCRACY-
' A VOICE FROM BEXAR.
. According to previous notice, the Demo-
crats of BcXir^county held a meeting on
Wednesday, the tenth instant, at the court-
house in our city:
«Tiu!ge T. A. Paschal was called to thc
chair, and J. D. Buchanan and C. E. Jeffer-
son -'appointed Secretaries. Several resolu-
tions were passed'having for their main ob-
ject the lictler organization of the Democracy
of Bexar. Speeches *vcre made by Messrs.
Buekner anil Waul, and received with en-
thusiastic plaudits by the immense audience.
A resolution was offered fully approving of
thc course pursued by Senator Rusk, in Con-
gress, and unanimously adopted. A resolu
tion was then offered condemning the course
pursued by Senator Houston, in Congress,
and unanimously adopted. A Resolution was
then offered recommending that our Legisla-
ture be instructed to request Senator Hous-
ton to resign his seat in the Senate of the
This motion met with some
opposition, but was finally passed by a very-
large majority.
The resolution in regilrd to Senator Hous-
ton. although it met with some opposition,
may be considered A YpICE FROM BEX-
AR—that jthe Denioraiecy of our county are

party, and abandons its principles, lie may
expect to be thrown overboard completely—
it matters not what niay have been his pre-

ing we have not yet received. In onr next
issue we expect to publish thetn in full.
READ AND PONDER !
We often hear the harsh sounds arising to
tbe welkin of onr bvely land. "American born
citizens shall rule America," tending to pro-
duct?, in the breasts ef many valuable citizens
whose birth place .happened to be in the land

We would sayto our citizens of" foreign birth
(hat cramped prescriptive feeling that .gives
illlerance to seen rdntimhnts, cannoi be found
ill the great Amkrican heart? i
The language of our worthy Senator, ihe
Hon. S. A. Maveriyk, i-tthe thce teeling tha'
meets a hearty response from everv true Am-
erican—hear him ; " The American name
will be disabn<ed of this Know Nothing dis-
grace. America, the model ' republic.' will
still ever be the model of justice and humani-
ty. H'T gates are open to ail the world, and
w!u would -shut them. This con'incnt is to
become, under-God, th'* field for the regcneia

indran* fight in mexico !!
We give below two letters that have been
receired in our ciiy. since our last issue, from
which we learn that our Ranging companies
that followed the Indians inio Mexico, have
had a conflict with them ; and it seems that
Mexicans are joined with the Indians, and our
comrades, after a complete viqioTy, are now in
possession of Pie'dras Negras, and, owing to a
great rise in the Rio Grande, they are not able
to return, if they would. Many of our citizens
have already gone to their rescue, and we be-
lieve more are preparing to go. There is no
time now for philosophising—" he that hath a
garment; let him sell it and bpy a sword,"
There should be no delay, for the lives of one
litindrei of our brothers may be sacrificed on
the delay of an hour. There can no harm ac-
crue if so many go that they rout completely
the abominable den of Indian desperadoes who
we fear are sheltered by some unprincipled
Mexicans, without the knowledge of the Mexi
can government. ,
These letters we copy, on? from the Ledger,
and the other from the Sentinel, of our ciry :

bined, about twenty miles 011 the road to San

we -whipped them; four to one, anu killed mnnv
of their best warriors. On our part, "we lost
several men of great worth, who were much
"sieemed.; Oapt Benton and Lieutenant King,
wounded- The fight was a pretty one, and
lasted about three hours. The enemy retreat-
ed in great haste for San Fernando. We ex-
pect to be attacked every hour at this point bv
an overwhelming force. We want all persons
who can possibly leave home to come to our
assistance. We will maintain our possession
at this point until reintoreed. so as jo chastise
