and full of hope for the future'' of this
Whole country, when fanaticism and pas?
sion have died away, (and thoy are dying
away.) will - refuse to. be forbidden to
look, beyond tue narrow limits of this
State for political help and co-op ora?
tion. The need of this hour is for us to
atretuh out our hands to Democratic
brethren, who, -in ,steadily, increasing
numbers,'are fighting tho battles of the'
Constitution- im all the States of thia
Union. '? We-want to become members Of a
great national'Organization, which pro?
poses to administer the, Federal Govern?
ment upon; safe: principles, but-which
aims to Jen va tho internal affairs of each
Stale' tb tht?'pooplo thereof. Lot ua now
take thia position, wnich experience-has
shown wa-.ought alway? to have occu?
pied. Wo'tvnnt tb do thia; iu order .to
save ourselves at home. It is os plain as
day that if we do /.not look beyond" the
limits of o.ur State, in sympathy, aa weil
as for sympathy, wo can espoot nothing,
arid, deserve 'nothing. The' national
Demooratio' paity. C'AIJ better' afford to
?ouvo us tO ourselves* than we eau afford
to forego oar claims for its co-operation.
'.If *'fair; minded men' who. or? not'
now uctiug with the democracy, are 'our

tion of the-'State,-they; wi ll join ua on
this ground, alec; for all'see that tho Re
pqblican. party has.failed .to restore trae
?oaoo, and -to. give us good government,
f they will not HO- join tia, they Ore not
sincer? in the full meaning of that word;
for they either mean to control the State
in their.ownipartv; or, at--least to control
it in their- own .way. - If another moro
ment for a merely local party is ia con?
templation, or ??f over co m mojiced, to end
in failure, no man can foret oil tho day of
our politioal redemption." -
We regard it very plain tb it Mr. Por?
ter's remarke were intended to apply to
th? deliberations bfn the Convention.
Nor do we, for a moment, entertain the
suggestion that the late Convention was
disposed to indicate any specific line of
political action to the people of the State.
Whatever of political opinion it express?
ed was general in its obaraoter. As to
the oourse proper to bo pursued in the
next political canvass in the State, we
agree with the correspondent of the In?
telligencer. Briefly stated: "Wo bold it to
b? Oar policy-political-to bear and
forbear, to:resort to no expedients calcu?
lated to impair our just cause; and,
finally, to rally with the conservative
masses of the North for the overthrow of

the whole people of Texas united iu ex?

Hitherto I have cpn.fl ned what I had to

will tend to harmonizo differences, und'
if possible signalize tho causes. I feel
wo uro nt. the oommoucerueut of a new
efoi . ? '.. - ?I .... ., J R
Since I have.b?en in Texas I have re?
peatedly bcairdcompluinta that tho peo?
ple of. tho - North habitually miareprq
sent tho feelings and acts of tho South
oru people-at least that portion of them
that, does not. sympathize with those
who at present control tho Government;
that they wore generally and systema?
tically belied, th ut Northern people
think Texans a .band of outlaws and des?
peradoes. Suok is.not my understand?
ing of Northern opinion. In the early
h i a, to ry ?of the Statu doubtless .a number,
bf'men. were attracted hither who oould
bo.very well spared.at borne, and were
not particularly welcome bore or else?
where.
Soon af ter tho close of the wurcom?
plaints wero mado and .believed that the
colored pooplo Bonn times suffered from
their lato masters' violence, but we have
heard nothing of thia'for two or three
years. I believe at thia day not BO much
viol?nos occurs in Texas as in Now York
city; certainly there is.not nearly so
much said about it. With about, an
equal population in Texas ue ia the city
of New York, , there are more desperadoes
in tbjat city than io Texas, and it is hard?
er work. to manage them. The North
doss not think Texas the land of tho
Bowie knife aud pistol.
. The proof that Texas is in good repute
ia shown by the steady increase of popu?
lation from other States. . In ? this, per?
haps, Texas, is a Bingle exception, with?
out il may be Oregon. Texas alone is
rapidly gaining ground. Other States
may increase, because losses are replaced
by larger gains, but Texas does not lose
any; one reason for which is that the
rNorthem press is just to Texas, and I
intend to bo just to ber.
All the lotters I aholl write from here,
aud all I shall write about here after I
leave, will.'show that such will berny
representations; for I can testify that
.property abd life are safe and protected
in Texaa. " While the Southern people
complain that the North does not under?
stand and misrepresents them, it may
also be a?id that they in turn do not un?
derstand the Northern people. Thia is
all wrong and unfortunate. They should,
if possible, be allied, and I hope and be?
lieve they wi lb "
Here Mr. Greeley dwelt at considera?
ble length upon the, war. ^ tho eau des oi
thu Wtir and sHvery, and alluded to the
assassination of Pr?sidant Lincoln aa
follows: When tho pr oolam ation was
issued by President. Johnaon oharging
Jefferson Davis . and other . Southern
leaders with complicity;?also that the
Southern people had countenanced the
assassination, I rejoice to. know that the
call for revenge was overruled by the
forbearance of the . North. Any deaths
caused by legal procesa for treason after?
wards would have oarried groat bitter?
ness. I therefore rejoice that I belong
to a people wiae enough, to recollect
this. It waa widely circulated that I wat
condemned by tho Union League fbr be?
coming sepunty for Jeff. Davis.
Those who condemned me were beater
three to one. While those, thousand!
donen nee J, tho belber souse of the NortL
justified me.. I did this ont Of no pat ti?
en Sar regard.for Jefferson Davis; not foi
any political friendship, for wo were al?
way* opposed to eaob 'other. The aol
was aa effort on my part to reach tb?
boort of tba Southern people, who fell
that their cause was involved with Jeff
Davis? Therefore I did that for th?
Southern people, not Jeff. Davis, tboogl
tbeV were equally gnilty with him.
The general sentiment of the pooplc
of the North is to let bygones be by
gonos. I havo not an idea that proBorip
ticm will be maintained, nor would i
bave been so far, if it had not been fo;
certain vitiating aotious ou the part o
Southern people. It will, however, b<
very Boon Utterly abolished, sod it is fo;
this reason I bave opposed partial am
ncsty. A general am noa ty should pas H
and then let us all be as we were befon
the war.
After some remarks upon the protec
ti o n of domestic manufactures and tb
necessity of encouraging them, beoloset
with an eloquent peroration respecting
tho futuro of Texas, and tho Uoitei

toned to with tbo most marked atteu

_.,Wbat the Goveruor eaicLhe needed ICL
insure obedience to tho laws WAH a better
class of men io the F?d?ral offices in tho
State. For instance,'lip wanted a new
United S?ites Marshal appointed-one
who would see that the laws were obeyed,
and who would arrest all offenders. The
Governor said bo did uot wish martial
law, but hu thought the prenouoo of a
few troops might bu weil to aid tue Mar?
shal in arresting illicit whiskey mun and
other offoudors ugaiust the Federal laws.
The Governor told tho -President that
everybody in South Carolina laughed at
bis proclamation, for tho simple reason
that it waa based on a state bf affairs that
did not. exist. There wau no insurrec?
tion in that State, nor was. there any?
thing like an organized movement to
create a broach of the peace.
Tbe' President listened to nil these
things with a look of the most stolid in?
difference. Wb?n the Governor had
finished speaking be asked him what he
wanted him (the President) to do. With
a look of aUrpnse, Scott said:
"Why, your Excellency! I have just
beeu telling you. ' I Waut you to maka a
new act of appointments in South Caro?
lina. I waut mon who are capable of
enforcing tho civil law, nod who havo
nerve enough to arrest offenders against
tbe same."
"Humph!" remarked bis Excellency,
"I hardly know what to do. . Have you
seen these?*' Aud tho President drew
from bis drawer a oopy of resolutions
passed by tho Republican Stato Centrul
Committco, endorsing President-Grunt's
administration, and.declaring in favor of
his re-nomination.
The President read them over with a
slow, drawling acceut, while Scott, who
know just what they were and what it all
meant, squirmed in his seat like nn im?
patient school boy. Whon he bad got
through the President said:
"Now, what did you say you wauled
mo to do?"
Utterly disgusted with tho trifliug
nature of this question, Scott repeated
his views.
"Humphl" Baid tho President. "How
do your people feel down there in regard
to the next Presidency?"
I "Well, sir," said Scott, "to tell you
tho truth, we haven't thought much
about it. We have bad a bard time of
it to keep the party from going to pieces.
You Bee, tho party in South Carolina is
so filled up with thieves that wo have to
keep our eyes open, or tho whole State
would bo carried off." '
The President smiled nt this und asked
if tbe thieves were not ull driven out yet.
After some further conversation ' the
Governor withdrew. Coming down
Pennsylvania avenue, Scott mot a friend
who know of tho errand he bad betn
ou. Said the latter:
"Wall, Governor, how did you make
out?"
j "Why," answered Scott, "I didn't
make out anything. Do you kuow that
: I begin to tbiuk that tho reports I have
heard about that man's capacity are all
j true?, Why, ? talked for au hour trying
Ito make him seo a certain point, nod
I I'll be hanged if I could beat it into his
head to ?ave me. Tho truth is, the poor
fool don't think of anything but re
j nomination. That's tho burdon of Iiis
thoughts by i}ixy and .bis..dreams by
night. If th?-realization of his dreams
depended upon South Carolina, he
would stand about as much chanco of
being President again its I do. He read
over u? lot of resolutions there, aud
evideutly wanted: me ter promise that
tbo South Carolina Republicans would
pass a similar Bet. They'd seo bim to
Topbot first. My whole interview with
bim was just so much time thrown
away. I tuight aa well have bilked tu a
stick."
And with this Lim Governor stalked off
indignantly.
