OF GOVERNMENT AUSTIN TEXAS SATURDAY
In the pastoral letter issued bv the Arch-
Bishop and Bishops of New York in October it is
fiven in charge to their churches : " Your first
uty is supreme loyalty to God and to your own
holy faith. Your second subordinate but in its
own sphere equally supreme loyalty to your
country in all her Vicissitudes of "prosperity or
adversity if God should so permit her to be tried.
Next to ypur country in this secondary order
jour family your neighbors friends and enemies
your countrymen and all mankind. Bo obedient
to tho laws."
These are tho most recent official declarations
and charges to the Catholics in America to which
we hnvo had access and wo submit them to the
relicious portion of 'our Protestant friends for their
calm consideration. I am a Protestant in faith
in education association in every thing : but God
forbid tLat I should ever behold the tires of re-
ligious persecution rekindled in this our free and
happj land. Persecution is not the weapon to be
wielded by the Protettant churches for the propa-
gation of n true and vital religion. No cive to
tbeeamest and impetuous Methodist his Bible ;
give it to tho steady and persevering Baptist;
giicittotho nrofotiudlvand accuratelv educated
Episcopalian and Presbyterian; put that mighty
weapon only in tho hands of our various Protec-
tant denominations and then give to all of them an
open field for reason and argument and I believe
a tme vital and saving religion will finally prevail
over the world. Then and not till then will
man's mission to earth have been accomplished.
Then and not until then will he Lave attained
that elevatioa in the scale of existence where he
h farthest from sin and nearest to God. " In the
loudness of hope nayin the confidence of a firm
conviction I maintain that America is destined to
bp the grand theatre on which this work of man's
highest destiny is to be accomplished." Tho De-
claration of Independence proclaiming the only
true and efenallyjust principles of government
points to it the war of the revolution baptising
those principle in blood points to it the passage
of the act establishing religious freedom in one of
he most powerful States of the Union and as its
Ionseqtience. iu all others all point with prophetic
bsurance thaj here in our own Heaven favored
md the glorious work is to bo accomplished.

Fellorv-citizens there remains one other sub
ject to vrhich I invoke your must serious attei -
tion. If is the obvious tendency nay certainty
that kmrsv-notkingisni can bring nothing but dan
ger and idisaster upon the SoutbernStates. Knnw-
uothingSm was started in the Norfh and had no
other element to compose it but Whigs and Abo-
litionists. It took its riee in the midst f the fire
and smoko and suffocation of the wildest and
mSst furious fanaticism against you andvotir
property that the world jjver saw. A fanaticism
that tore tLe (.bardies asunner. It took captive
every No fheru Legislature' sent to the Senate
some of the most deadly enemies the South ever
had. In tho fury of tlie storm the Northern de-
rnooracr who had saved you in the annexation of
Texas-aved von ou the Wilmot Proviso ques-
tionsaved you iir the passage of the Fugitive
Slave Bill saved you in fact in all the battles
yon bad ever foacht to save your peculiar institu-
tion! was at Iastborne down or so far disabled by
tki3 mingledtempest of Freesoilism Whigism and
Abolitionism as to give hut little promise
of that effectual aid in the future which bad so
oftpn Rnvifl iir In thA r-nnflirts of the Tiast It was
at eucli a dark hour to the hopes and interests of
me Jsoutn that know nothmgiEin was oorn iu
Massachusetts. It sought no" alliance with tbe
South it needed none it desired none. The
Wbig3 of theSnuth and the North hadbeeu forced
to separate on all these slavery questions and to
dissolve a conrection which had proved nothing
but embarrassine to both narties. Thev had stru"-
gledliard forjears to prevent tho catastrophe.
Tho Kansas aud Nebraska Bill hurried np the cri-
sis and on mature and solemn consultation every
wing Senator from the South save one dissolved
the connection.
So soon as tbat eormrr-Hon tva durrolvea the
whiss of the North knowing that their nationality
was lost becau the work of Fusion with the Free-
soilers and Abolitionists. Thev saw the rapidly
increasing States in the NbrtWest and became
confident that in a few years at most the North
could elect the President and a majority of both
Houses of Congress not only without any aid but
even in despite of all the power of the South whigs
and demorcats united. But what did the whigs do
after tho dissolution with the Northern allies?
Many of them to their honor be it spoken uiany
of their wisest statesmen end patriots Gholson of
Virginia aud Toombs nud Stephens of Georgia
refusing to go into this know-nothing scheme
boldly avowed that there were no inateriels out-
side of the democratic partv with which a coali
tion could be found that that party was the
soundest and safest one on all the questions in
which the South was vitally interested and that
they were prepared and resolved to co-operate
with them on these great questions and thereby
avert the calamities impending over the South.
Not so with a moiety of that party they convene
iu Philadelphia they consult imd" commune with
tho abolitionists of Massachusetts of Ohio of
Vermont of Connecticut nud implore them to
form with national alliance to come up with
thtm on some common platform ou which the
upxt Presidential Concressional and State elec-
tions may be fought. What reception did they
receive at Philadelphia 1 AVhen they asked for that
compound and motley mixture of Northern whigs.
frecsoilers and abolitionists to fake them in as
partners they were instantly rejcelcd. When they
presented their platform full as it was of apology
and barren as it was of any sure guarantee to the
South it was distinctly voted down. I repeat with
all the emphasis which this great f.iet demands
that their alliance was rejected and their platform
voted down! Turn my countrymen to the Katon-
al Intelligencer of June 10th 1855 and read with
astonishment as I know you must and will do the
following account of their proceedings:
"'I he New York Times publishes the votes ta-
ken last week in the National Convention of the
American party on the three leading propositions
touching the slavery question. Supposing that
they will possess interest for many of our readers
we copy them below. It will be observed that the
proposition which was finally adopted received the
votes of the delegates of fifteen States including
the free States of New York and California whilst
the delegates of fifteen other States including the
slave holding State of Delaware voted against it.
Missouri seems to have been represented. It fur-
ther appears that the States which voted in the af-
firmative arc a minority of the electoral college
they being entitled to 140 votes out of 2U. electo-
ral votes." There is the record as furnished by
tlie National Intelligencer.
When taken by States the vote on the platform
stood 15 to 15 when taken according to tho votes
in the electoral college it stood JoO against it aud
only 140 fir it. A national platform fri'lv! Voted
dowu by States voted down bv electoral Collce'
By the known ru!o in even- Parliamentary or Leg
islative proceeding a proposition receiving oulv a
tie vote is rejected but it seems by some new
Knoir-Nothing rule it is adopted!
As lung as this record shall live uncontradicted
let it be proclaimed that this know-nothing party
has a national existence that all alliance with
the Southern portion of the partv has been scorn
ed and rejected oy the whigs and abolitionists of
tnersortii. mat trie protiereu Platform was voted
down so indignantly that twelve of the free States
retired in disgust at the very proposition and by
seceding marked it with their sovereign contempt.
In a publication of these votes in the Georgia Tel-
cgritpltrt July 3d funiMied by the correspondent
of the New York Times which" he faysarc entirely
correct the same result is shown fifteen to fifteen
not counting the State of Delaware which was
.equally tied and therefore cast no vote uor the
District of Columbia entitled to no vote at all fif-
teen to fifteen in establishing a great National Plat-
form! And now my countrymen tell me. vou who
have net joined this Secret and Midnight junto
tell mo in the candor of men end thcVmceritv of
Chiistians arc you content with the poor guaran-
tee which is furnished by this record that you shall
henceforward enjov twelve hundred millions of
your property ? Why it is i:o guarantiee at all.
Already you have been told by Wil-wn and
others who are Master Spirits of this partv that
at the very next Congress the bills are to be pro-
posed that are t-i rum you. That bills shall be
brought fnrwaid even in December next to re-
peal "the Fugitive Slave Law to repeal the Kan-
sas and NeW.sk.i Law to restore the Missouri
Compromise to abolish Slavery in the District of
Columbia. Have these delegates brought vou
home any satisfactory assurance that their North-
ern Allies will stand by you and protect your prop-
erty 1 Why you know they have not you know-
that the know-nothing States of the North have
already hud their elections and have returned to
tlie next Congress a majority who will vote for
every one of the bills I have mentioned. You
stand therefore this day ruined in the Houe of
Kepreseiit&tivf. and your only hope of sal-afion is
in tlie State. Have the know-nothing delegates
brought yon any guarantee that their friends will
stand by you and jour vast amount of property in
that bony f No. Not the least for there stands
Wilsot and every one of his duly elected know-
nothing comrades sw ord in hand to cleave vou and
your property down and on whom do you relv iu
fact ior the defeat of these odious bills" in the Sen-
ate? You are bound to say that jou rely on the
Southern aud Northern D'emocra'tie Senators to
defeat them. On democratic Senators! Whv.
then have you entered into this unholy conspira-
cy to have them beaten and turned out of tlie Sen
ate Chamber ? Why go down into the secret pla-
ces of the earth and swear your deluded followers
everywhere never to vote for a democrat who
does riot become a member of your Order when
you acknowledge that at this the very darkest and
most trying moment the South ever saw. your on-
ly hope for deliverance is on democratic Senators!
Tell me again as honest candid men. if these
virtues have not tied fhe Earth. tell me if these
measures should chance to pass the Senate where
would be your last lingering hope of saferv to
your property but in the Veto of Franklin Pierc ?
And yet know-nothing delegates many of whom
were broken down political hacks or disappointed
office-seekers wiio have neither the talents or the
character to attract attention undertake to de-
nounce Franklin Pierce and the democracy which
nominated aud elected him ! Malevolence could
poison the javelin hut the puny arm of the assail-
ant was too feeble to cast it high enough to reach
the destined victim. Democracy smiled at the im-
portance of the deed and only wished that its in-
gratitude might not wound the spirit of the sainted
Jackson.
But gentlemen whilst I decline a further notice
of these puny assaults en the democratic party
and tlie President of its choice I have not done
with this know-uothing Philadelphia Convention
yet. I demand to know what authority did the
Southern Delegates ever receive from their South-
em constituency to go into Convention with open
notorious and avowed Abolitionists of the North ?
Why it is thesa vpry Abolitionists that have for
years waged this vindictive war upon youi peace
safety and property! What right had you to go
into consultation with them and" hake their blood v
htnils with amity and friend-hip? The know-
nothing cruacil of Ohio of Massachusetts of Ver-
mont of Connecticut and nearly all tbe rest reek-
ing in the fumes of nauseous abolitionism had of-
fiicially notified yon that they were still your ene-
mies and would never give over their aggressions
upon your rights. Even Baker who presided over
your deliberations had proclaimed to you in the
way of teaming before you assembled that the
views of Northern ktow nothings coincided on
the s'averv qucstiou with those" of William II.
Seward. Yhat right had you then with this
warning sounding in your j-ars to commit the fate
of the South to any such unholy consultation
when fifteen States of the North told you by
their votes against your proffered platform when
twelve of them told you by seceding that they
scorned nny association with you whv did you
not yourselves indignantly withdraw and proclaim
as ihe Southern Whig Senators did on the Ne-
braska bill (except one) thar all hopes of co-
operation with the know nothings of the North on
the slavery question were vain and nugatory I
Then you "could have returned like patriots and
iusteali of pouring out anathemas on the democrats
(tbe only tnends you liave leit in ine worm and
on Franklin Pierce whose every action has been
true as steel to our Southern rights whatever you
may think of his administratjoa in other respects)

oath-bound legions ! It is that oath if know noth-
ingism prevails that has dug the grave of the
roiitn and mined in it twelve bundrcu millions
of her property !

cal or social so far as this order is concerned I

it may conflict with my personal preference !"
I will comply with' the will of a majority !
Though a Seward a Hale or a Wilson shall be
nominated for President there stands tho ill-fated
and luckless oath and come what may it must be
redeemed ! Say not that I color this'picture too
I'aikly. Say not that in the event of a nomination
that is so f.i'al to all that is near nnd dear to the
South tho know nothing leaders would call upon
their followers to disband and renounce the horrid
and infernal oath they have taken. Be not de-
ceived. The conscientious and good man may
doubt whether he raw renounce that oath after it
has once been recorded in the High Chancery of
Heaven nerod was thunderstruck when "the
head of John the Baptist was demanded. Ho
knew it would be a cruel and unprovoked mur-
der. Nevertheless for the oath's sake he de-
livered it in a charger. I will comply with the

of sacrificing his only daughter and when ho
would willingly have "sacrificed his own life- to
have saved her felt impelled by a false but over-
ruling morality and exclaimed "I hnvo opened
my mouth to tho Lord ant cannot go back."
Execrable oath ! Abhorred be the man that de-
vised it! It was a blow struck at the noble facul
ties of reason and conscience as the guides of
unman action a tatai blow to tbe rights of the
South to the Constitution nnd the Union.

PF" Below we give the comments of the Wash-
ington Sentinel upon a late editorial in our paper on
the Considerant Socialists now settling in Texas.
It is a matter of deep solicitude to all Southern
men that thco Socialists should know in advance
the opinions and views of our people. We are far
from being fit subjects for the transcendental theo-
rists of the North and of France. The thousand
isms of the day find no congenial soil in tbe South
and besides this the hatred of tho Slave Institu-
tion cherished by these Socialists and avowed
openly by them in our State must only the more
remind us of our duty and awake us to action.
Since tho publication of our last article wo have
received letters from many leading public citizens
of tho State warmly appreciating our position.
It interests all of us :
From the Washington (D. C.) Scntlntl.
Abolition ami Sociul Colonic! uttetii'itcil

CoiiHiilerant Texas.
Attacks upon naturalized citizens unjust un-
constitutional and in many instances barbarous
and brutal attacks have made the right-thinking
people of our country extremely susceptible and
sensitive. None have gone further in repelling
such attacks in opposing the Know-Nothing party
and in asserting the supremacy of the Constitution
and tho naturalization laws than ourselves but
there are certain interferences that even we can-
not and will not submit to. We have a great
country interminable in extent blessed with eve-
ry variety.of climate and adapted to every kind of
production. Wo have vast uninhabited wilds that
resound oftener with the tread of the buffalo or the
howl of the wolf than with the step or the voice of
man. Wo have room for the oppressed the en-
terprising the industrious and the patriotic of ev-
ery clime and couutry. They are welcome. We
would say to them come our anus arc open to
receive you : Come and be naturalized come and
ben'if uralized as individuals aud you will be incor-
porated into our free American brotherhood.
Yet when nn effort is made to plant amongst us
and that too in a slave State (Texas.) a colony of
French socialists and abolitionists (they are en-
dorsed by the New York Tribune) then we de-
mur most positively and absolutely
We want no abolition plantations or colonies
here whether they be foreign or native. We want
no European ideas of liberty. We carved out by
our own strong amis the independence of this
country und we want nothing of foreign origin
infused into our system.
These remarks are suggested by a most judicious
and sensible article which we have read in the
Terns Stale Gazelle headed "Socialism will not
do iu Texas." The article in the Gazette contains
strictures on a pamphlet by Victor Considerant
entitled "European Colonization iu Texas" and
addressed to tbe American people.
The colony which M. Conideraat desires to
plant in the heart of Texas is a colony of socialists.
What socialism is few atthisilat are uninformed.
But before we consider the import of the term so-
cialism we have a remark to make on the general
subject of colonization in this country.
We are opposed to the whole system. Wo are
a nation a distinct and sovereign nation. Over
the whole vast territory that belongs to us our
government with its free institutions extends.
That government being good enough for in should
be good enough for all others. It should be it
must be and is good enough for all. We want
no other nationalities lilting up themselves
amongst us. We want to see no baud of men
either American or European either great or
small colonizing a part of our country attempting
to maintain a separate organization carrying out
new theories aud systems of government and bottl-
ing themselves aloof from us. If a hundred or a
thousand or ten thousand men. either from onr
country or from foreign countries think proper
as indtrlduah and not as a separate organization
to remove aud to settle upon the soil of a State or
Territory we would be the last to object. But
we do not think that any fret of men whether
aliens or natives sln.ijld r.e encouraged to erect a
government within our government an "imperi-
um in wpcrio." We already have the InJjans
whom considerations of humanity indt-cii U3 to
leave to thetnselvett. We have too the kormon
who stole a march upon us. with their nechliar re
ligion and marriage system but why fortunately
ior jnein and ior us respect and venerate the Con-
stitution of the United States.
But socialists are system-makers government
builders and communists tljey are political in-
cendiaries and propqgandbts ai.d would not only
plant themselves and their social institutions upon
our soil but wo tiki endeavor insidiously and fur.
tivcly to erect the system of covernnicnt whicfr
they espouse on the same soil. Tneir system is
altogether different from our svstem. It is entire
ly antagonistic to if. Besides it is an abolition
system. It ia useless for 21. Considerant or M.
Anybody-cite to nttempt to disguise it. They
want to get a foothold here and they will adopt
any means to do so It is in vain for M. Consider-
ant to attempt to hide his purposes under the rub-
bish of pedantic and scholastic pbnuei. Those
Eurrioses are plain and palpable. He may say as
e does savin his pamphlet
"I am of opinion that with the scientific and
specific progress of the age; with the develope-
ment of the social relations of humanity America
may expect the improvement of her social institu-
tions ; but I do not think tbat she ought to demand
this by violent sudden and revolutionary measures;

North and tbe Snntb."
ie meaning of all thw thra jh attempted to b

concealed under scientific nay pedantic phraseol-
ogy is the meaning given to it by the Gazette.
That journal says:
"These well-turned sentences arc perfectly un-
derstood byMr. Greelyof tha Triuand all other

ant 'both among the abolitionists and among the

Now we would be the last to refuse a welcome
to any man or company of men who come to set-
tle in our couutry aud make it their borne. But let
them Come as individual citizens knowing no law
no Constitution no Government but ours. Let
them buy lands as . others buy lands. That they
should come iu companies and settle in companies
ia but natural for all men desire to bo settled
among acquaintances and friends.
But a slave State is the last place on this earth
on which a colonv of abolitionists either from a
northern State or a foreign State should be per-
mitted to settle especially when such colony is am-
bitious of making governmental experiments at
war with the fixed institutions of our country.
The hand of the Tribune is in this whole thing.
An American Abolition Colony was gotten np un-
der its auspices to settle Kansas andnow it lends
its countenance and support to an European
Company of Socialists and Abolitionists to locate
in Texas.
We learn that these Socialists of Considerant
are to be emptied upon us by thousands. Already
their surveyors are in the northern part of this
State and in some counties they have secured
nearly every pieco of available land to be found.
Some instances have come to our notice where
parties intending to locate near them have judged
it proper to sell their negroes. In fact as we
have stated before every aero taken up by these
Socialists drives our Southern planters further
back.
From the Galveston News.
ditop.s News: I notice in a late number of
the "Civilian" of your city that the senior editor
Mr. Stuart says in substance that on one occa-
sion he differed in opinion with bis friend Houston
that "we opposed annexation while Gen. Hous-
ton favored it." This is contrary to my recollec-
tion and as thin question involves matters of much
significance to Texas I ak of you the favor of a
small space in your widely read and useful paper
for the purpose of putting that question in its true
light and ta showthat the Civilian in its opposi-
tion to this great American measure ofannexation
acted in strict and undeviating acccrdauee with
the private and real sentiments of its friend.
In 131-3 facts and circumstances carao to mv
knowledge which forced upon my mind in spite of
myself the conviction that it was a sacred duty I
owed to the people of Texas and of the United
States to put them in possesfiou of the fact that
Gen. Houston was not only opposed to Annexa-
tion but that he had attempted to strike a Mow
for its defeat if not for its annihilation and with
some explanatory remarks of my own I gave to
the public the proof of these facts in tho shape
of an official document which emanated from the
Executive Department over the sign manual of
Gen. Houston then President of the'Reimblic
It is unnecessary to repeat the matters contained
in that document as it has been extensively pub-
lished and read all over the country for the last
seven years. On its appearance in IS 18 Gen.
Houston published a card in the "National Intelli-
gencer" of Washington city in which while he-
did not attempt to deny (as he has not since) the
charge of vital opposition to the measure prom-
ised to explain his course at .1 future time am!
when he could avail himself of a reference to the
Archievcs of the State. It is unnecessary per-
haps to say more in reference to this document
or to repeat the fact that Gen. Houston has not
fulfilled the promise made in his published canl.
Subsequently and in 1S49 or '50 the National
Intelligencer published a letter of Gen. Houston's
to the American Minister the Hon. A. J. Doncl-
son written in April. 115 and during the pen-
dency of the proposition from the United States
for the Annexation of Texas in which he took
bold nnd open ground against the proposition as
made. The Intelligencer iu commenting upon
this letter spoke of it in tho 'highest terms ot
commendation as entertaining statesmanlike
views which were heartily approved and ehimed
them as being iu exact and perfect harmony and
accord with its views and with the doctrines held
and advocated by the Whig party on the snbject.
The day before I issued the proclamation convo-
king the Congress of the Republic to a-t upon
the proposition made by the President of the Uni-
ted States the Hon. W. D. Miller read me the or-
iginal manuscript copy of tljit letter iw he said
by request of tien. Houston Tr the purpose as I
tneii supposed and as 1 now suppose of trying to
dissuade me lrom giving my consent to that pro-
position. As afurtherproof ofGen. Ho'isioi's oppositirn
to Annexation I refer to the fact that Major lon-
elsoii (who was much in the habit of reading to
me confidentially tlie letters and despatches he
wrote to the President or Secretary of tate of
the United States) read me a letter to Mr. Polk or
to Mr. Buchanan in which were these remarkable
words "If Annexation depended upon the single
vote of Gen. Houston it would I am reluctantly
compelled to say be lost." Tais letter is now
probably in the archives ct Washing'! n City and
I presume no one will think for a moment that
Major Dup.el-on was either ignorant of !!. Hous-
ton's views on the subject or that he would mis-
represent them. All thtve facts and many others
of similar kind Mr. Stuart h.ts had abundant op-
portunity to know and crn i.ardly have forgotten.
The official d-ifimient ami' the letter of General
Houston to Major DowNui both above referred
te have now been j earn nefore the public and no
refutation of the charge t-f opposition to Annexa-
tion based upon these has ever been attempted
either by Gun. Houston or his friend of the Civ-
ilianrrby any one else and I think never will be.
Still Mr. Stuart s-ns only yesterday as it were
that ''Gen. liouiton was in "favor of Annexation"
-Mum fal-ely he says so. let the above facts prove!
and if they are not sutlieient. I can inform him that
I have plenty more of the tame kind t.iiich I will
furnish him "with if he wi-bes.
I know it has been claimed by Gen. n. that his
opposition was only "coquetry" that "the govern-
ment of Texa.' had only been coquetting with
France aud England' and lie is said to have set
up this claim himself in a public speech to 500U
persons in New Orleans in tho year ii45. This
if true only makes the matter a thousand times
worse ; and I deem it a high and holy duty to
Texas to tripe from her escutcheon this lonland
dmai.able stain of infamy. It T? but justice to
Gen. H. that I shfiuld state that on his return from
New Orleans I spoke to him on this subject aud
be emphatically assuied me the newspaper hud
falsely reported tis speech and tbat he bad fail
no such thing. In the Senate of the United State
also at a later period iu answer to i qui tion by
the lion. Revert! i- Johnson he publicly rieni'ti
having said in his New Orleans speech teat he
had "coquetted" with England. It is proper also
that I should state that upon an informal applica-
tion tome by the British Minister Capt. Cbas El-
liot in 1645 to know if the government of Texas
wished to be uudersto'id as claiming to have arttd
inbadftith toward England r.nJ France ts Gen.
Houston was reported to hare asserted puol'.' !y
in New Orleans I told him I was authorized f y
Ex-PresMeu: Houston to deny the charge so far
as he (Ho;itou) was concerned and to say hebtd
not made tbe assertions attributed to him by tue
New Orleans editors and newspaper reporters.
J said to Capt Elliot that I did cot suppose i: was
at all necessary I should deny such an infamous
proctedina on my own part it was he said ot
course wholly unnecessary that both himself and
the Count do Saligny the French Minister for
whom he was authorised to epcak were perfectly
tattsned wrtk my conduct towards them as Secre-
tary of State and as Preridcnf thronghoat the
whole course of the protracted negotiarione be-

most scrupulous good faith bad on every occasion

ly adopted.
Whereas under a Republic like ours all power
emeuafes from the people who framed a consti-
tution guaranteeing among ether inalienable
rig its. freedom of speech freedom of the press
and freedom of conscience awl whereas we he-
Imve these rights constitute the only safeguardi!

deared to us hy the sacred memorr of the past
the safety of tho present and "the hopes of
the future and whereas we believe that these
principle find their a-sw under the Deinocratic
party therefore
l.esolted 1. That it is expedient to form an as-
sociation to he known as the Democratic Associa
turn of Freestone county.
llcolceIi. That its o'tficers ahall consist of a

Pciolrcd.i. ThatnouaA initiation fee or spe-
einl pledge shall be required to become a member
of this Association lut that all the citizens of
Freestone county be considered members there-
of who hold in good faith the well recognized
princ:ples of our political creed.
Vesolted. 5. That every Democrat is the expoun-
der of his own political faith; that we recognize
no creco in pomio mat requires tbe ma-s of the

ment in our Constitution of the ft111damcnt.1l prin-
ciples so essential to freedom of conscience wan
intended not only s a restraint upon levi-lation
