CERT. T. X HUSK.
We hare beat referred bj Senator Back
to tie faUowiag letter a u exposition of
his viewB in the prent canrasfl. Although
there is bo mention of Houston's name in
this document it in effect administers a
just and severe rebuke upon his coarse.
The reference to his coarse in 1843 is well
timed. Mr. Rusk refers to his coarse in
1848 as well as in 1851 and '55. We can-
not pursue his votes in these memorable
times without finding him deserted bj Sam
Houston. His concluding recommendation
for the opponents of the Kansas bill who
pretend to be Jackson Democrats to con-
nit the late judicial opinion of Chief Jus-
tice Taney who was the right hand friend
uf Andrew Jackson is evidently a piece of
advice for Sam Houston especially who
boasts so constantly of his Jickson demo-
cracy When we consider that this letter
was written upon hearing Houston's as-
sertion that Rusk regreted his vote on the
Kansas bill and know that he heartily en-
dorses the Waco nominees we can only say
tnat a more bitter reproof of an adversary
in the absence of all allusion to his name
we have seldom seen from so distinguished
a source.
This letter of Mr. Rusk will appear in
the Henderson Democrat to whose Editor
it was addressed. While we regret tnat
an active participation in the canvass would
conflict with his past course we cannot fail
to admire the manly tone and sound South-
ern sentiments which characterise his
letter.
Letter from Gen. T. J. Umk.
Nacogdoches June 17 1857.
Dear Sir:
Tl : a . i .. .
lunercceiveaiwo letter irom you as
well as a number from other persons calling
upon me to take an active part in the pre-
sent canvass for Governor of the State.
Eleven years ago the people of Texas
through their Representatives conferred
upon me a highly reponsible office lhe du-
ties of which I have endeavored to discharge
to the bestof my abilities with what success
it is for them to judge.
Holding this position I have regarded
it proper for me to abstain from all attempts
by it to the States are reserved to the States
respectively or to the people." It farther
declares that "no person shall be deprived
"of life liberty or property without due
"process of law nor shall property be
taken for public use without just
" compensation." Thus guarding life
and liberty and throwing a doable guard
around property against al! encroachments
by Congress or from any other quarter.
These provisions are general and applj
every where as well in the Territories as in
the States. It has been attempted to draw
a distinction between property in slaves and
other property but does the constitu-
tion warrant any such distinction ? On the
contrary the constitution expressly authori-
es them to be imported as property for
twenty years after its adoption there is an-
" March eighteen bandied and sweaty
" either protecting establishing or abobeh-
" ing slavery."
Shis repeals what I regarded as an un-
ci institutional law. It draws no invidious
distinction between the citizens of different
sections. It leaves all alike free and unem-
barassed to enter the Territories the com-
mon property of all and throws as it ought
to do around every man's life liberty and
property the broad shield of the Constitu-
tion. Under its provisions no man can rise in
the Territories and say to his neighbor
"I am holier than those." All from the least
to the greatest stand upon an equality.
Is not this right? 1 thought so then
and I voted for the bill and have never re
gretted it since. The Black Republican
raved. I supposed they would do so. It

tion then there is no limitation and the i stronger determination to support and
rights of property the rights of persons J maintain an instrument bequeathed to us by
iaj me ana iiDercy nave no otner guirau- sasres and patriots ot tne revolution
to influence their choice in the selection of
others. I have in several instances declin-
ed to meddle in the election for members
of Congress as well as for Governor when
I have been urged to do so. The people
of Texas are intelligent independent in
their feelings know both the gentlemen
who are candidates understand the issues
involved as well as I do and for me now to
change the course of action which I have
heretofore pursued and give expression to
my preferences with a view of influencing
their choice would be arrogating to myself
a position the propriety oi which might
well be questioned. I have therefore not
mingled in the canvass ajd with great res-
pect to many personal and political friends
who entertain a different opinion I think
it wouldbe improper to do so further than
to cast my vote according to my convictions
of duty.
But the intimation that I "regretted my
vote for the Kansas bill and thought now
that it was wrong" is another matter and
as I ha'e been called upon from different
places throughout the State to make public
addresses upon this subject I have pre-
ferred this method of making known my
opinions which if delivered in ttppemhea
would be ranch more likely to be misunder-
stood or misrepresented. I have never re-
gretted my course in that matter nor doubt-
ed for a iraoment that I was right. What
determined my vote in favor of that bill
was the clause repealing the unjust restric-
tion against the people ef the Southern
States contained in the act of Congress pass-
ed in 1820 usually called the Missouri Com-
promise :
The eighth section of that act is in these
words:
"Sic. 8th. Be it further enacted that
" in all the Territory ceded by France to
"the United States under the name of
"Louisiana which lies north of 36Q and
"SO north latitude not included within
' the limits of the otate contemplated by
"this act slavery and involuntary servitude
"otherwise than in the punishment of
"crimes whereof the parties shall have been
"duly convicted shall be and is hereby for-
" ever prohibited provided always that any
"person escaping into the same from whom
" labor or service is lawfully claimed in any
" State or Territory of the United States
" such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed
t and conveyed back to the person claiming
''his or ber labor as aforesaid."
This act I have always regarded as pal-
pably unconstitutional and a usurpation
by Congress of power which they not only
did not possess but which by the Constitu-
tion they were expressly forbidden to exer-
cise. The words as they stand apply with
as much force to any State which may be
formed oat of the Territory as they do to it
as a Territorial Government.
I presume no one could be found who
wouM claim power in Congress to abolish
or inatrfste with the rights of property in
slaves in a state. Has Congress power to
exclude the citisens of Texas or any other
slave-holding State from going to any Ter-
ritory which is or may become the property
ef all the 8tates or to interfere with the
rights of persons or property in the Terri-
tories further than to afford that protection
which the Constitution enjoins upon them ?
The anw mtof the United States is a
;! limited powers. The ConBti-
1 in so many words "Tnat
tne power not delegated to the United
1 by tne Uonautuuou nor prenuucea
ties than the discretion of Congress. Such
doctrines need only be stated to show their
entire want of consistency with all the prin-
ciples upon which our governments both
State and Federal are formed. So
thoroughly was I convinced of the sound-
ness of these views that as far back
as 1848 I gave my warm support to j
a bill to establish a Territorial Government i
on the Pacific which passed the Senate con
taining these provisions on the subject of
I slavery : " Sec. 26 And be it further
" enacted that the legislative power of said
" Territory shall until Congress shall other-
wise provide be vested in a Governor Se-
" cretary and Judges of the Supreme Court
" who or a majority therein shall have
" power to pass any law for the administra-
" tion of justice in said Territory which
" shall not be repugnant to this act or in-
" consistent with the laws and Constitution
" of the United States but no law shall be
" passed interfering with the primary dispo-
sal of the soil respecting an establishment
" of religion or respecting the prohibition
''for establishment of African slavery.'
The same bill provides in another section
" That writs of error and appeals from
"the final judgment of said Supreme
" Court shall be allowed and may be taken
" to the Supreme Court of the United States
" in the same manner and under the same I
" regulations as from the Circuit Court of j
" the United States except only that in all
" cases involving title to flavcs the said '
" writs of error or appeals shall be allowed !
" and decided by the said Supureme Court
" without regard to the value of the matter i
" property or title in controversy and except I

Jo n.v Marshall Esqr.
My Dear Sir: On. my return home last
j evening from Tyler I found your favor of
the 30th ult. You observe that some persons
! have said that I would not suppjrt the fnll
Democratic ticket nominated by the Waco
Convention and that I will vote for Capt.
Crosby for Commissioner of the General
Land Office regardless of the nomination of
Mr. White by that Convention. In answer
I have to say that if I did so er ever utter-
ed such a determination I would no longer
be entitled to be regarded as worthy to oc-
cupy a position in the Democratic ranks.
1 uave on all occasions and trom the first
i moment I heard of the nominations made
i by the Waco Convention declared my in
tention to support the 7riwe ticket with
whatever ability I have. It is true that I
am a strong personal friend of Capt. Crosby
and that I regretted that he did not author-
ize some friend to submit his name to the
Convention under the very proper rule which
was laid down ; but having failed to do so
how could las a democrat now vote for him?
I know Mr. White and knew him long be-
fore I knew Mr. Crosby ; and I like him as
well and I shall surely vote for Mr. White
and do all I can in au honorable way to pro-
mote his election.
How the report has originated that I will
i j fail to support and vote for any one of our
nomiiice? i am at a loss to Know it it

These provisions proposed to submit to
the quiet decision of the Supreme Court
the vexed question which two years after-
wards shook our Union to its very founda-
tion. The bill however failed to pass the
House and I only advert to it new to show
tliae I then had such confidence in tho juet-
nes3 of our- claims to equal rights in
the Territories as well as the States as to
be perfectly unwilling to submit the ques-
tion to the Supreme Court. No one can deny
the equality of the different States and the
equal rights of the citizens of each of the
different States under our form of Govern-
ment and if this be admitted it follows as a
matter of course that all are or should be
upon an equal footing in the Territories.
I have doubted the wisdom of the policy j Urgo
wmcH nas oDtainea ior tne last nve years
of so rapidly increasing territorial Govern-
ments in the North-West. In my judge-
ment it encourages wild and unsafe specu-
lation in the public lands and I have some
apprehensions of multiplying Senators in
uongrees which it is to be feared
and entirely misconceived what I said; and
if it originated from any other source then
I have only to say that it is what might
