The Amended Constitution.
Our readers will bear in mind,
that the Polls will be opened on
Monday week, the 9tli November,
and continue open the two suc
ceeding days, to receive the votes
of the people in favor of, or a
:;ainst, ratifying the proposed a
nendments to the Constitution of
this State. We trust that a gener
al attendance will be given, as it
is an affair of the utmost importance.

there were a few sprigs of woolly

"J. LAWRENCE, M. D.
(iT''e received, a few days
since, a mess of green peas raised
"n the garden of Mrs. C. C.
Svnight in this county, being part
tf the third crop this season from
i he same vines, which now are
fresh and green and full of blooms.
What renders this circumstance
very remarkable is, the field peas
in the vicinity were completely cut
off by the early frosts this fall.
QJ-The Editors of the Wash
ington Whig forcibly remind us
of Covvper's schoolmaster, who
"could argue still," although re
peatedly discomfittcd. As addi
tional proof, l hey observe, that
"Mr. Pettigrew is no Jackson
man," they present the following
sentiment sent by him to the Whig
dinner given to Col. McLcod in
Lenoir on the 17th ult.
"Political honesty. Its depar
ture from the public councils is
the cause of all our evils. Noth
ing but its return can give stabili
ty to the government ur.appiness
to the people."
Now this may be intended as
a cutting rebuke to those members
of our "public councils," uho hav-
JVar in Texas. An extra sheet
ot the Red River Herald, received
at New Orleans, states that "Isaac
Parker has jut arrived from Tex
as, bringing the intelligence that
Gen. Cos has landed' near the
mouth of the- Brassos with 400
men, with the intention of joinin
the 700 federal troops stationed at
San Antonio de Bexar, an'd
marching upon the people of Tex
as. He has issued his Proclama
lion, "declaring that he will col
lect the revenue, disarm the cm
zens, establish a military govern
inent, and confiscate the property
of the rebellious." Messrs. John

that a resort to arms is inevitable.

"The Constitution of 1824" in-

It also contains a letter from ex
Governor Houston, to Isaac Por
ker, dated Texas, 5th Oct. stating
that war is inevitable, and "if
Volunteers -from the United States
will join their brethren in this
section, they will receive liberal
bounties of land. We have mill

each man come with a good rille

the evident changes of public sen

'Resolved, That the universal
avowal of the meetings of the
people, and of clerical bodies at
the South, and the unanimous ex
pression of the press in favor of
perpetual slavery, convince us,
that the true issue is made up of
slavery or no slavery, independent
of all collateral questions, and
that we are prepared for this issue.

The connection of the Siamese

this union is far more intimate,
