St. Martinsville, July 23.
Glorious news from Texas, if'true—
A gentleman who arrived here from Opelou-
sas on Thursday evening last, says that a re.
port had reached there just before he left,
that the Mexicans had again been routed,
««horse, foot and dragoons," by the Texians,
who killed 800 of them. This report, though
vague, we do not entirely disbelieve, for it is
an event, which, we prophecy, we will ’ere

cmics of Texian Independence both in and out
of Mexico.

P. S. An apology to the Nullifiers:. I do
not mean to insult you, gentlemen : But re
buke, i do, yotlr zeal to do “ Calhoun rever
ence When whatever good he has done,
he has soured and embittered that good, by
his dismemberment schemes of 1832, which
are fresh and vivid in your recollection. As
a small band in Carolina withstood the insid.
ous approach oLnullification tyranny, and as
I was one of this glorious. Union Spartan
Band, there determined to preserve the ark of
our Union from an unhallowed desecration—
I cannot forget the imminent danger into
which Calhoun’s rhapsodies threw me—nor
be ungrateful to Henry Clay, for that rescue
which he made in his compromise, which,
while it saved rne, saved also thousands of
Carolinians—and prevented Calhoun and
Cooper from making Carolina an Armuged,
don, and her people a Hecatompylean ! Can
he that would for a cause of doubtful interest,
shed blood like water, be a man good and
true? The Union party is'yet compact and
firm ! . Although individuals of thit party
will not support particular men or particular
nominations, they will unite in one band when
the question is between Nullification and Un.
ion, and a signal overthrow of warlike dissen-
tients again awaits our opponents. That I

NORTH CAROLINA.
We have seen returns from the elections
now going on in North Carolina, for Govern-
or front sixteen counties, and from seventeen
for members of the Assembly. Spaight, the
democratic candidate, wus 2113 votes ahead
of his opponent Dudley—26 Van Buren and
12 White men were elected to the Assembly.
But little doubt can be entertained that the
“ good old North State” will elect a Goveror
and members of the Legislature of the true
democratic stamp, and give Mr. Senator Man-
gum a striking illustration of the consequen
ces of contemning the right of instruction.—

TO TE1E NULLIFIERS.
I speak as fearless as a sunbeam shines,
To purify our country and her shrines.
there is a deplorable deficiency in that man's
style of writing—a too obvious disconnection
in his sentences, here is another sample : at
the last paragraph,' 47 or 8th line, he holds so
palpable a disjunction, that I must needs'
quote part of the whole sentence and give the
corrections. “That there may be a gener
ous rivalry and ji hearty disposition between
them to co-operate to the full extent, where
their joint efforts may be of mutual advantage
is my ardent desire, let us both bear in mind, 33 ^c.
The, proper wording now of the above would
be to say, “ Where their joint efforts'may be
of mutual advantage is my ardent desire, and
let us,” &c. Or »* is my ardent desire : Let
us,” &c. Either a conjunction or a Colon
was wanting:—a comma without the and,
was outlandish barbarism, to speak literarily.

CONSISTENCY.
The Macon Messenger, in endeavoring to
prevent a portion of the Union Party from
supporting Mr. Van Buren for President, in-
cautiously admits that since 1832 that gentle
man has not changed his principles—and for
that reason calls upon the Old Clark men to
oppose him. “ Oh, Consistency! thou art a
jewel.” Pray, Mr. Messenger, did not you sup.
port Mr. Van Buren in 1832? lf fie has not
changed since, why not support him now?—
JJave you changed ? Be cureful, lest in your
zeal to entrap others, you dig a pit for yourself.
MR. CALHOUN.
Two weeks since we published a short
paragraph, noticing the arrival of this gentle,
man in our village, and his reception at the
College Chapel. The “Whig” has taken
us to task for it, and pronounced our state
ments false. It has, however, with unusual
magnanimity, copied our article entire, and
thus given its readers who were present on
tho occasion alluded to, an opportunity of
judging with whom the charge of falsehood
properly rests. We have no fears as to their
testimony, but confidently assert that they will
pronounce the Whig article, in every point
where it contradicts our own, unqualifiedly
untrue* The writer for the Whig has the
hardihood to say that Mr. Calhoun “was
cheered in the bouse by obe universal plaudit

sfoste, and then it became almost deafening.”
