same Venice ha*made a mighty and protracted
effort in late year*, catholic as she is, to re-eatalt-
lish the Republic, from whioh sbe has only been
prevented by Foreign arms. He doe* not seem to
know that a* early a* the twelfth and thirteenth
centarie*,the Free Friaoaa, and tho Flemish, who
were CalhUtos, had essentially free government,
under Legislative control of their Councils, or
Guild*, whoae acta no one could veto or co
travene. Not we are satisfied the Senator
knows little of . this; nor did he wish to
know. His object wae not the diseossion of his-
torienl, political, or religious facts; bat bis otfject
wm to maintain the falaely grounded pretension*
of the Know Nothing enemies of Democracy; re-
gardless of facta; and If he i* not learned, he ia
the better fitted for a Know Nothing orator. For
If learned,he woald havo to disregard his knowl-

all liberty. Tha moment wa yield to the one we

come hare to aqjoy the liberty of conscience.
At fault again. It would seem preeuup-
tuoue, to laaemmaad to a Senator of the Unljed
Statea, to read the history of tbe United States
before venturing npon statements that the echool
boys of the country are qaalifled to dieprove; hot

Dtar Standard : Up to this time 1 havo but
little of importance to oommunicate. No general
Legislation aa yet consummated. The bill ac-
cepting the proposition of the United States for
the settlement of our national debt, is now upon
our table, where It must lie until the 15th kay of
February next. On tbe engrossment of this bill
our entire Northern delegation in tho house of
Representatives, voted in the negative. Tho sub-
ject of Internal improvements command its share
of attention, Tbe 'State.systemlste are down.and
a compromise system is now msturing in its ap-
propriate committee; the outline of which is as
follows: The State, 1st appropriatee another mil
lion of dollara, also fifty million acres of the pul>-
lio domain, by survey* to be returned to tho Gen-
eral Land Office, for tho purpoaea of education
2nd, The State will cause four routes for trunk
road s to be surveyed by a competent State engi-
neer—tho chartered companies to pay tho expense
of the survey*; and so soon thereafter,aa the com-

tho School fund, and lend it to the company at

A road from Buffalo bayou (Ilooaton) north to
Red Hives. 3rd, A road from Harriaburgto Aus-
tin. 4th, A road from Matagorda bay to San An-
tonio. Tho whole about nine hundred milea of
road. Thua you will paroelve that with the three
million of fund, wo will be ftble to furnish Iron
for about five hundred miles, which cannot be
completed in leas than four yaftra, or I860. In
the mean* time permit eettlemento to be made on
the reserved lands, at a stipulated prioe per acre,

much in simplifying our practioe Ae. Whilst
just here I can inform you, tbat our Supreme
Court, en Monday last,delit'4red aa opinion which
will do more to quiet land titles in Texas, than
any decision heretofore rendered. The deeiaion
ia this; that where a suit ia brought by aa Eleven
League or other old claimant, againat a citisen
holding by survey or patent from tho Republic of
Texas, or the State—that the old claimant cannot
recover, unless his survey was represented on the
county map. and recorded In the eounty whore
the land was'situated..before the date of the sub-
sequent survey or patent; the laat locator being
in tho situation of a purchaser, without notice.
Yours. BUCKSKIN.

Col. IM Mortt: —
Dbah Sik: It isdue to Judge Todd,that I should
say to those interested in the unoxpoctod failon
of the late term of the District Court at Clarks-
ville, a few words in explanation. On the 5tb ef
November last, Judge Todd wrote, desiring that
1 would conclude the Clarksviile Court, and that
he would hold Panola Court in this district. J,
did not get the letter until the 4th of Doocmber
inst. On tho saiuo clay Mr. W. P. Cornelius - f
handed me nn additional letter from Judgo T, t
written at Clarksviile, to tho "same purport,"
•oying that he would start for Panola eoun/end
would notify me by Telegraph from Marshall,
that ho bad passed on his way to Panola, and t*
write himto Marshall, whether I might be expect-
ed at Clarksviile, to continue the Court. By tht
first mail to Marshall, after the reception of thii
letter, I wroto Judge T. that I wuuld go to Clarka
ville as desired, provided I rocoived tho oxpected
intelligence, that he bud readied Marshall,
his way to hold Panola Court. Not hearing froi
Judge Todd as anticipated, I felt myself bound
proceed to Cartilage, 011 Sunday before Mon
the beginning of tbe term of that Court It
proper here to say, that Judge Todd expecting t|'
communicate with me by Telegraph, did not re:
-Marshall wvtil -on Sunday before the ('«
Court. Friday tho wires down, bo was unable
do so, and proceeded to Panolu, w here he foi
me on Monday after. Intervening circumstane*
then compelled mc to forego the trip, to Claris
Ville—Judgo Todd forthwith sent a messenger!
Judge Hicks, who promised to be here on
night, undorthe promise of holding Judge Ti
Court, or holding in my stead this Court until!
could complete lied River Court, but ho has
arrived, and 1 regret to say that circuuistaiM)
now surround mo which rcuder it impossible
me to go to Clarksviile to opon tho Court on Th
day next. I am sure that Judge Todd has duft
every thing in his po\>er to have the Court
as promised. 1 have myself witnessed his
irty and exertiont., but unfortunately without
I conceive, cause of blame to any) he has fi
And it would seem that all just minds, when
formed of tho facts, may entertain regret,
will attach no blame to Judgo Todd, for it r
be recollected thai Courts like all othorhumnn
fairs, sre subject alike to casualties and dL
pointme'nts. So far us 1 nm concerned, it wi
have afforded me great pleasure to have vi
y our beautiful and interesting T.iwu, nod
exchanged civilities with its hospitable 111I11
