FROM TEXAS.
By a gentleman just arrived in Macon from Texas,
we have been politely favored with the “Telegraph
and Texas Register,’ - ' printed at Columbia, the seat of
Texas government, of the 5tli October; also a hand,
bill containing the Message of President Burnet “to
the First Congress of the Republic of Texas.” The
Telegraph contains the first day’s proceedings of th
Texian Congress; and the following information:

GEN’L. HARRISON, THE REAL CANDIDATE
OF THE NULLIFIERS.
The liullifiers have expressed an anxious desire to
form a southern party, and have professed to support
JUDGE WHITE as a southern man. These declara
tions have been made only to deceive; their electoral
candidates are prepared to vote for a northern man.
The confessions of COL. CLARKE, communicated
Uy COL. SPRINGER, have takonoffthe mask. They
We understand, (says the Philadelphia American
Daily Advertiser,) that Mr. Govostiza,- the Mexican
Minister, arrived at the Mansion House yesterday from
Washington. We arc extremely sorrj to hear from
a respectable source, that his negotiations with our
government have terminated Unsatisfactorily, and that
fee is preparing to return home with his diplomatic fa-
mil)'. This will be unwelcome news- to the friends of
peace, and to the commercial interests of this coun
try.

From the Washington City Chbe.
EXPRESS MAIL.
This mail will continence running on the 15th of No
vember next.
Between New York and Philadelphia, there will be
two mails daily upon the railroads, running with the
speed of the express, and carrying the entire mail mat
ter, in consequence of which the additional postage will
nol be charged between those cities. The same policy
will he pursued lietween Philadelphia and Baltimore,
and further south, as soon as the i lepartment, by tlio
aid of the rail roads or other means, ran give the whole
mail the same exjieditinn as the exp.vss.

It is certain that WHITE cannot obtain a majority of
the electoral votes. It is hot now pretended that lie will
receive any but the following votes:

All of these votes arc 67 less tint} 4 majority
he will be very far from receiving them all.
In Louisiana the recent elections show a majority in
pport of VAN BUREN. Out of sixty-four members
of the legislature of that State, there is a majority of 20
favorable to the election of MU. VAN BUREN. Itis
not probable that WHITE will receive the vote of Lou
isiana.
In Mississippi, the nullificr,POINDF.XTER,has been
beaten by WALKER, a supporter of VAN BUREN;
aud all the accounts which we have seen, lead to au al
most certain conclusion, that the democratic party has
the asccndcucy in that State. That WHITE will re-
cfcive the vote of Mississippi is extremely improbable.
I11 Alabama the late election of members oftlie legis
lature turned on the presidential question. The friends
of Van Buren obtained a majerity in the legislature;
and it may now be considered certain, that WHITE
will not receive the vote ofAlabama.
The last election ill Virginia shows that the friends
of VAN BUREN are there the strongest party. They
have a majority in the legislature. Among tiie
whigs, the supporters of IIARIUSON arc more nu
merous than those of WHITE. If the democratic
ill maintain its ascendancy, of course thevotc
1 of the State will not be.given to WHITE. If the
is'higs prevail, HARRISON being the choice of a
ma , orijv of (Item, he will receive their support. The
success* 0 -*either party will exclude JUDGE WHITE;
it is a|uK>st Certain that he will not receive the vote of
T^mvote a/Nrfvtll Carolina is doubtful; and we
place it to the credit of JUDGE WHITE.
In Georgia the ^tte congressional election shows
more than°lhe real str-'t^'b of the supporters of
WHITE. We arc co. 'vi.’crd that they are in the
liiinority. But place Georgn 1 a. so “•* crcdtt.
In Tennessee the opposition ttf “im is most anima
ted and energetic; and it is doub’cd °5fr
the vote of this State will be given to '»III IE. \Vc
suppose that it will; and we place it to’ h*- s orelil t.
According to this estimate; which we be. * ovo to be
at least fair, WHITE cannot receive more' th an eigh
ty votes; because this is the whole number o fvOt es °f

On reading the article in question, we came to the
conclusion, 1st, that the Recorder was convinced Van
Iluren would get the vote of Georgia, and that there
fore Harrison could not be nfleejed in any other way.
2d, that the Nullifien were ashamed of their ajly, and
wanted to fob him off. 3d, that they wish to hide their
own dicingenuoiisnciHi by accusing their opponents of
the name tliic^. As they do not expect to elect White
by the Electoral colleges; and cannot hope to elect
bini by the House without the assistance of Harrison's
friends—nor either Harrison dr White without the
assistance of the other—it is dear,‘that their fortunes
must be connected—let who will deny it.
Besides, one (if not more,) of the Anti-Van Buren
Doctors has expressed himself 1 as having no particular
partiality for Judge White; and that if they could not
White, they would take Harrison, or Webster,-
«ny body, in preference to Van Buren!
The Nullifien arc afraid Harrison’s slavery notions
and White’s Cherokee sins will break down the “Anti
Von Buren nog” in Georgia if he continues to tote
double. . They begin to denounce the Northbend He
ro.
The Nullifien say the L nion cause is sinking ! Nqt

Black List. The Monf. (Ala.) Journal publishes un
der this head the name of James Adair, who stopt his
paper after taking it for six months, without paying
for it Really, we think the subscriber has behaved
tolerable genteel, and that the Journal has not ranch
to complain of: suppose Mr. James Adair had kept on
reading the paper for six years, instead of months
—and then moved to parts unknown, and said nothing
about pay; or refused when called upon, under the
plea that he never subscribed ? in such a ease the prin
ter might be allowed to complain a little.

U; S. Brig of liar Porpoise.—This vessel, which has
conveyed the Commissioners—Commodore Wcolscy,
Caut Clayton and Master Commandant Slmbtick—
to Brunswick, to ascertain whether a good site could
be discovered for a naviil depot, lost ten of her crew
by desertion on' Sunday list. The fellows were per
mitted to go ashore at st. Simons, to recreate, promi
sing to be 011 board before sunset That period, how
ever passed, and tliey did not return. An officer was
sent to look after tliem; when it was fonnd they had
persuaded a negro of Mr. Gould’s to accompany them,
and stolen a boat belonging to Col. Hazzard, with
which they left the island. They were traced to Ster
ling by two officers, both of whom arrived in this city
on Tuesday last, iu pursuit of them; but not being a-
blc to procure a relay of horses at the former place,
they were, for the present, obliged to abandon the
chase of tho fugitives. The negro was, however, ap
prehended ;. and he stated that die sailors had told him
to leave their company. They have cut Uncle Sam’s
buttons off their clothes, but will doubtless be easily
recognized by the peculiar nautical carriage which a
man-of-wars man never divests himself of. We hope
tliey will be taken up; as so many tars “capering a-
shorc” under such circumstances, might, in all proba
bility, not be very well able to discriminate between
mtum and tuum.—Darien Telegraph.
THE INDIAN PRISONERS.
It will be recollected that several of the hostile In
dians were detained by the authorities of Alabama, as
prisoners, to answer for crimes which were committed
by them during the recent disturbances. The noiori
ou* Jim Hekrt, who was foremost in deeds of dark
ness and bloodshed, with sundry of his associates,
were confined in the jail of Russell county. Judge
Shortridge presiding, bills of indictment were found
against them by the Grand Jury. Jim Henry, thro’
his counsel, Messrs Underwoodand Harris, succeeded
in changing the venue of his case'to this county. He
is charged with negro stealing, the punishment, upon
conviction U death. Sam Brown was charged with
the same offence. The jury fopnd him guilty, but a
motion in arrest of judgement having been made by
his counsel, Messrs Gohjlhw^itc and Robertson, his
Honor reserved the question as being novel and diffi
cult. for the decision of ill* Supreme Court. Chi-
lancha alias John for the murder of Fannin, was found
guilty; as also was Tuscooner Fixico, and four others
lor tf»e murder of Green, the stage driver. Messrs.
Harwell And Hilliard appeared for the prisoners.—
The prosecution on the part of the State was conduc
ted by G. D. Shortridge. Esa. The 25th of Novem
ber, is the day set apart for tnc execution of the last
six above mentioned. There are four others now in
custody, to be tried for similar offences at the next en
suing term of Russell Court. They will, we under
stand, he undoubtedly convicted.—Montgomery Ain.

all the States in whicii his name is held up as a ca nut-
date. Of these it is very probable that he will n«.'t r '~
ccivc tlie votes of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama 1'
and Virginia, amounting to tliirty-nine; leaving him to I
contend, with very doubtful prospects, for the votes of j
North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. If he should
obtain the support ofthese three States, which we may
at least rank us doubtful, his entire strength will be
forty-one votes. It is evident, that if M. VAN' BU
REN shall not succeed in the electoral colleges, and
the contest shall be thrown into the house of represen
tatives, WHITE will go into that body, the weakest
candidate. HARRISON will be by far the strongest
whig candidate before that body; and that party will
concentrate on their strongest, and not ou their weak
est. ' The cause of WHITE, with perhaps three States
in hjs favor, wiil be utterly hopeless. That he can
not be elected must be known to every intelligent man
among his suppoters, who will examine this subject.
Why then is the name of White still held np ? It is
to draw southern votes from VAN BUREN, that they
tnay be ultimately given to HARRISON.
We do not like to make harsh charges against our
opponents, aud we believe that a very large number
of those Georgians who support WHITE are sincere
and honest in their course. But their leaders are
most certainly playing a double part. They declare
that in these portentous times we ought to have none
but a southern president; while they are themselves ful
ly prepared, to vote for a northern president. They are
subjecting the South to the imputation of pursuing a
narrow and selfish policy, and endangering the Union
by the formation m a party founded on geographical
lines; while they arc labouring to secure the election,
(notofWHITE, whose case they know to be hope
less) hilt of HAUllISON, who is a northern man.—
They oppose VAN BUREN. on the ground that ho
is inclined to favor the abolitionists, although he ha*
given a public and explicit declaration of uncom
promising hostility to these fanatics; while they are,
in fact, supporting GEN. HARRISON- who far from
being opposed to the abolitionists, hasexpressed a wish
that the federal government would expend its surplus
revenue, of which a large part belongs to the South,
in purchasing our slaves, in order to set them free,
and utterly abolish slavery in the Sourtherti States.—
Professing greathorrorat abolition, they oppose MR.
VAN BUREN, who is an active enemy to abolition;
and they covartly supert GEN. HARRISON, who is
himself au abolitionist. Their readiness to take up
GEN. HARRISON, a northern inan nod an aboli
tionist, exposes their studious craftiness in professing
exclusive attachment to the south, and determined hos
tility to abolition. Their declarations of zeal for the
South signify nothing" more nor less than hatred for
VAN BUREN. Their expressions of alarm at aboli
tion. and dread of its success nre fabricated to excite
hostility against VAN BUREN. They have toiled to
mislead the people by deceitful declarations. If we
arO'to have a northern president, why should.we pre-
for HARRISON, a man destitute of talent, an
unconverted federalist of 1798, aud an abolitionist?
Fellow-citizens, be not deceived. WHITE cannot
be elected. HARRISON is utterly u {worthy of the
presidency. Do not disgrace yourselves, and. wrong
y - our country, by voting for the White HARRISON el
ectors.—Ftd.-ral Union.
