FOK rRCSIDKNT,
- - GEN. MIHABEAU B. LAMAR:
, FOB VKE PRESIDENT,
' 'HON. DAVID G. BURNET.
In another pnge will be found an article relative to the sale ol
four hundred leagues of land to afew individuals, by the authorities
tifthe state ofCoahtiila aud Texas. This art cle was written in
the vear 1835 and published in an anon mous pamphlet which was
p inted at Neiv Orleans in 1S3G; solely, as stated in the preface,
"with the view of bringing to the aid of those desirouso f correct in-
formation, the learning' and judgment of one who with high qualifi-
cations fo' the task, had prececdedjhem in the investigation." It
is upon a subject that has receeutly attracted the attention of many
of our anost eminent jurist', as well as our citizens generally, and
will therefore atthisthncbe read with peculiar interest. It is worthy
of remark, that the Hon. E. Livingston, who was regarded as oue f
the most eminent dtil jurists of the United States,ha3 expressed an
opinion precisely similar to this, in a letter written expressly at the
request of several persons interested in similar claims. The rea-
sons thathave hitherto induced the author to conceal bis name, have
ceased to exUt, and we are now authorised to state, that it was
written liy Judge Burcst, whose settled hostility to this class
ifUaddaimi, has already attracted to himself the enmity and ha-
ired ofa large portion of the aristocratic land-holders of Texas.
The question relative to the validity of the titles of many of the
great landed estates of this country, will soon be agitated for and
wide: it is very necessary therefore, that the researches or our most
eminent jurists should be circulated as widely as possible, in order
that correct views of the question may be eaVly attained by the ci-
tizens interested. If we are not grossly deceived, a mighty effort
U now being made throughout tho whole country to secure the
flection of individuals, not only in the next ensuiug congress, but
in every branch of the government, who will favor the great land-
holders' ofthe country. Our citizens cannot be too much on their
guard against the machinations of the corrupt and treacherous fac-
tionwhich is now secredy endeavoring to establish in cery coun-
ty of the republic a class of aristocratic bud holders, who, like the
nobility of Polaud, will wield the whole political power of the na
tion.' Few of ourcilizens can form an estimate of the number of
eleven-league claims, that arc now in the possession of individuals
who as jet dare not drag them forth to light, but are only waiting
to.bchclJ the sacred ermine of the judiciary tarnished by bribe-
ry, or to elect a"congress sufficiently subservient in order to fasten
them down upon some broard expanse of lull and dale, and then
ytith all the arrogance ofa Russian noble, declare to the poor and
i'ldustrious setdsr, "there are my possessions, if you wish to im-
prove them you must become a tenant." Ay, tenant at will to the
vilest ofall aristocrats a purse-proud lordling! Let our citizms
luok'woU to these things ere it is too late, cud in'making their se-
lections ofinea to fill the various vacancies of offices in the differ-
ent branches of the government, choosejhoie whojdire yield eren
handedjustica tojhe" arrogant speculator, or to the huinbh beg-esr-men
who can neither be inflaaaced by bribery or intiinidatiou
men who having the interest of their who'.: country in view, will
et in every instance with integrity anJ independence.
the noble animal writhing under the pain of several most severe
wounds, that had been evidently inflicted with a pitchfork by soino
inercJiss lilUin. The wretch who had been so cowardly and cru-
el as thus to w rcak his vengeance upon an unoffending brute,, is
unn orthy to share in the benefits of human society.

Mr. Editoh: Iu tJie last number of the Banner, will
be fjuml a communication over the signature of "A
Ciliien." which is far from verifying the old ullage, '-A
fool cut always, ask more questions than a wise mnn
can answer," tor the single monosj lable iiis a sufficient
response to the whole listof slanderous interrogatories
that have been thus uropotuided to Judge Birnel. I
-.hill not however, content myelf with this answer, but
will in turu question this "Citizen" rclativD to his era-
alt , and will bejin by asking him, if a few years since
he was not publicly charged in Philadelphia of cheating
at cards, and proved before a crowd of gentlemen to
be a "liar and a kuave" If immediately alter thin, he
did not emigrate to Arkansas, where he was arrested
for horse stealing and publicly whipped, just :hrec J ears,
one month and seicn days previous 10 the appearance
of his list of calumnies in the Banner ?
A CITIZEN.
Coir Caldwell" has just returned from the west. Ha states that
he has .within a few days past visited the bay of Corpus Christi,
where iie saw the schooner Commanche lying at anchor. lis cap
tured the'eaptain of this vessel, about ibrty-five in les south west ofl
Saa Patricio, who informed him. that the Coniminchc had been ly-
ing' in that bay nearly two months she had on beard about six
hundred barrels dfflour and a quantity of lard: the flour was some-
what damaged, t den. Fdisola had recently sent out a body or four
hundred men, under the command of Gen. Woll, to protect that
perlr-a part of them had already arrived. H:, alio states that tho
custorH'nous'e officer from Hataraoras was,taea oa board the Com-maqch'e-.
The sails of this vessel bad bjsea taken out and placed
onshore, by orderof Filasola. As Col: Caldwell had only twenty-five
men with him, and a hundred andfifty soldiers were hojrly
Tip4cted from Matamoras, be concluded' to release the captain of
the Commanche and rcturufer re-inforccnients. On his way back
to- San Patricio; and wheii'V'idiin about twenty-five m'hs of that
place," he discovered about K$ Mexican cavalry in pursuit of him:
they, however, kept at a. rasp eetfal distance, and permitted his par-
ti; to cross the Nueces and return unmolested.- lie learned from
some of hN spies.that Sahrasego with about seventy men, was en-
camped na 4aaft stream, Jhjrty miles west of the Rio Frio, to
uhich place he-had recently escorted thirty Cherokces, who had
just been te- Matamoras to make a treaty with the Mexican govern-
uicnt, and were then ontheirrctnrn,with a number of mules loaded
rath presents, consisting of ammunition and clothing. It is said,
however, that a treaty was not concluded, but they are to return
in two' mouths to learn the determination of the Mexican govern-
ment". A Mexican Colonel has been among these Indians and tho
Shawnees, during, the last Spring, endeavoring to excite them
againstour -citizens. It seems, however, that he hasnot been vo-
jy successful, as wc do not learn that a tingle chief was found in
this party probably it was on this account that the Mexican au-
thorities did not trca with them. Cob Caldwell was also informed
by his spies, that the Mexican forces do not intend crossing the Nu
ecu, but have received express orders to continue in the vicinity of
the bay of Corpus Christi, and to act on the defensive. We do not
think, however, that the citizens of the western' districts will con
sider theSidves safjia their present sitnation, and u-alm the go
Tcrnmcnt will consent to station, atlaast, a. small -'corps of observa
tion' in that quarter, the Ga'idalounc may soon become the limit
four western settlements.
The potmaster of this city is, certainly entitled to mnch praise
for the pnbhc spirit he has displayed inthe improvements of his of
fice, which is now fitted up in a style of neatness and commodious-
liess, that would be commended in many of tho larger cities of the
United States.
There is evidently some mismanagement on the part of some ofl
the postmasters between this city and Nacogdoches. Wc havo not
received a single number of the Chronicle for two or three weeks
past, and we have been informed, that not a single number of the
Telegraph was received by our subscribers at Montgomery last
week.
The funeral of the late Chief Justice Colbnsworlb, took place on
Tuesday last. An oration was delivered on the occasion by A. M.
Tompkins Esq. Tho remains were followed to the grave by a largp
foneourse of our citizens, including die Masonic fraternity of this
city.
Mr.' Barker, one of tho theatrical company engaged by Mr. Cor-
ri, committed suicide in this city, on the evening of Tuesday last.
lie died from the effects of Landnnm, of which he drank nearly
a gill in presence of his vrifo, saying at the time to her "I drink
tiiis to thee!" Immediately afterwards, he hid down and feel into
a lethargic deep. After ap bour had clap'ed, Mrs. Darker be-
came alarmed at his appearance, and sent for a physician, but the
poison had done its work; every effort was made to nsuscita'c
bun, bat 'a rain.

Navy Islad. It is true, as we stated ycslerdnay
that Navy Island was rc-occupied, but not by any blood
thirsty Patriot. A small party of them who wished to
enjoy a practical joke at the expense of the Royalists
went on the Island at the time stated, and fired a few
musket shots, across, upon tho main land. The alarm
was instantly given, and expresses started of' with the
information that the Island had been re- occupied 4y a
large force.
All being still lat evening or this morning, the Island
.was explored and the Patri ts were found to have v m-
ished. This wc are assured by a gentleman from Can-
a Ja is the true ersion of the storv. Buffalo Com. Adv.

from the War Department, the s'eambuat Erie,
burthen of 159 lo.i, has been chartered for the service
if the United States upon this -Like. The boat is to
be pFaced under the direction of an officer to bo detailed
.or :h it service by ,uaj jr Yojng, in ciTraand of tho U.
States, f iree stationed at this point. She wil', however,
be s nl m oy her captain and crew as before.

Now then we hannen t.) know, in the fir-l place, that.
due n'ltilication was sent to different ptrU ol the county
several days before that mcetini;" was coinelicd, a'nd
that a disposition to attend and still farther to oppose the
nominations previously mudo in the town, was most un-
equivocal y expressed. The day of the mtcling was
as we learn, furiously rainy, unit the atleudaiicc was, Hi

to tell him that that statement is ofi.seli sufficient to
denote fully his utter ignorance of the- politic of the

Arise, arise brave Tcxians, awake to Liberty,
To Mexican oppressors no longer bend the knee.
But hasten to the combat, vwt'i freedoms flag unfurled,
Tiiat tho glorious deeds of Texas nhallecho thro' the world:
For we arc determined to die or be free, .
And Texas triurAphaat our watch word shall be.
The bugle sounds to battle, war desolates our land,
Proud Mexico's vile minions advance upon our band; . . ,
But though the bl?od of Texiaus should crimson ev'rv clam,
The rights of that God has given us forever we'll maintain,
For we are &c.
Though justice has long slumberM refreshed she'll sooa awake,
The tyrants that invade us at her stern voice shall quake;
Biforc her dread tribunal their haughty pride shall bend.
With hojorfor our bulwark ia vam ihall they contand.
For we are &.c. .
Thev seek the lonely covert unseen to strike the blow.
They love defenceless murder mid tears of grief and woe,
They burn our hom:s aud temples for their infernal glee;
Bat o'er their smoking ruins we'll fight for liberty.
Tor we are &c.
We'll never trust their honor, assassins they are bred,
Braic Famsii and his warriors thus found a gory bed,
And Tr.ivis and his heroes on San Antonio's height,
B.'fore the foemans legions fell in unequal fight.
Like them &c.
The blessed light of freedom on Texas shall descend
Aud djspoUsms darkness in liutrou'sday shall end;
The gJlhug chains of bondage Texas bind shall no more.
Or wc will fall unconvicted upon the Sabine's shorn.

THE LOCUST COME AGAIN.
Mr. Editor: I have been delighted fur a few morn-
ings past with the music of an occasional Locust. Any
1 person can hear these insect0, and sec them too, in the
nor h-west suburbs of the city. This is a singular cir-
cjnisUnce, as the fact is well established, that these in'
sects appear above cnaind everv seventeenth year on
l that is, the progeny of the insects that appeared in
I3ii, cannot appear before 1S51. We arc therefore
left to account for tho nppcaracc at this time, of the in
sects abote mentioned, which can only be done by sup-
posing ih.it the individu lis n jw am mg u, arc the pro-
geny of thoic that appeared in Massachusetts, or those
of Ohb, near Galliopulis-, in 1831, and some individuals
w inch were brought here by the wind or some other ac-
cident as we frequently li.id birds are from Mexico :
and as sea Lirds are often driven far into the interior.
It is also possible tint there is a district (of which w c
lino on record) in which thoy appeared in 1S21, more
near to u. lhe insect now here differs from that of
1334, in lhe following particulars: its eyes ore black,
those of 1S31 were read; the rings of the abdomen
.ire more uniformly brownish ellow like those of
the female ot 1S34; those of 163-1 were distinctly
markod with an oblong brown rot. Thcro is also a
slight difference in the ribs of the wing, both in arrange-
ment and color. In all other respects, they ate exact
ly mesaaic. i no music is the same. The music is
precisely the melancholy melody of 183-1. G. B. G.
