AN ADDRESS.Delivered by S. I* . Austin of ‘Texas, to a very

targe audience of Laities and Gentlemen in the

second Presbyterian Church, Louisville, Ken-

tucky, on.llie 7th March, 1836.

( Continuedfrom our last.)

These revolutionary measures of the

partv who had usurped the government

in Mexico, were resisted by the people

in the States of Pueblo, Oaxaco, Mexico,

Jalisco, and o her parts of the nation.

—

The State of Zacatecas took up arms,but its elf irts were crushed by an army

headed by the President General Santa

Anna in person, and the people of thatState were disarmed and subjected to n

military government. In October last

a military force was sent to Taxas un-

der Gen. Cos for the purpose of enfor-

cing those unconstitutional and revolu-

tionary measures, a.- had been done in

Zacatecas, Puebla, Oaxana, and other

parts of the nation. This act roused the

people- of Texas and the war commen-

ced.

Without exhausting the patience by a

detail of numerous other vexations cir-

cumstances and violations of our rights,

I trust that what 1 have said on this point

is sufficient to shew that the federal so-

cial compact of Mexico is dissolved;

that wc have just and sufficient cause to

take up arms against the revolutionary

government which has been established;

that we have forborne until the cup wasfull to overflowing; artd that further for-

bearance or suhmissii.non our part would

have been both ruinous and degrading;

and that it was due to the great cause of

liberty, to ourselves, to our posterity,

and to the free blood which, 1 am proudto say, fills our viens, to resist and pro-

claim war against such acts of usurpa-

tion and oppression.

The justice of our cause being clearly

shown, the next important question that

naturally presents itselt to the in elligent

and inquiring mind is, what are the ob-

jects and intentions of the people of Tex-

as?To this we reply that our object is

freedom—civil and religions freedom

—

emancipation from that government and

that people who, after fifteen years ex-

periment since they have been separated

from Spain, have shown that they were

incapable of self government , and that

all hopes of any thing like stability or

rational liberty in their political insti-

tutions— at least for many years—arevain and fallacious.

This object we expect to obtain by atotal separation froth Mexico as an inde-

pendent community —a new republic

—

or by becoming a State of the United

States. Texas would have been satis-fied to have been a State of the Mexi-

can Confederation, and she made everyconstitutional effort in her power to be-

come one. But that is no longer prac-

ticable, for that confederation no longer

exists. One of the two alternativesabove-mentioned, therefore, is the only

resource which the revolutionary gov-

ernment of Mexico has left her: Either

will secure the liberties and prosperity of

Texas, for either will secure to us the

right of self-government over a country

which we have reedeemed from the wil-derness, and conquered without any aid

!nation of Texas, and what.are onr resour-ces to effect our objects and defend our

' rights ?

The present position of Texas is anabsolute Declaration of Independence—a total separation from Mexico. 'I his

declaration was made on the 7ih of No-vember last. It is as follows:“Whereas, Gen. Antonio Lopeze Santa

Anna, and other military chieftains,

have by force of arms, overthrown the

federal institution? of Mexico, and dissol

ved the social compact which existed be-

tween Texas and the other members ofthe Mexican Confederacy, now the goodpeople of Texas, availing themselves of

their na'ural rights, SOLEMNLY DE-CLARE,

1st. That they have taken up arms

iu defence of their rights and liberties,

which were threatened bv encroachments

of military despots, and in defence of' the

republican principles of the federal con-;

stitution of Mexico of 1824

“2d. That Texas is no longer morally

or civilly’ bound by the compact of Un-

ion; yet stimulated by the generosity and

sympathy common to a free people, theyoffer their support and assistance to such

of the members of the Mexican Confed-eracy, as will take np arms against mil-

itary despotism.

“3d. That they do not acknowledge'

that the present authorities of the nom-

inal Mexican Republic, have the right to!govern within the limi'sef Texas.

“4th. That they will not cease to car-

ry on war against the said authorities,whilst their troops arc within the limits

of Texas.“5th. That they hold it to bo their

right, during the disorganization of the

federal system and the reign of despot-

ism, to withdraw from the Union, to es-

tablish an independent government, or

to adopt such measures as they may

deetn best calculated to protect their

rights and liberties; but that they will

continue faithful to the Mexican gm -eminent, so long as that nation is gov-

erned by the constitution anti laws that;

were framed for the government of the

political association.

“6th. That Texas is responsible for;

the expenses of her armies, now in the

field.

“7th. That the public fai l) of Tex-

as is pledged for the payment of anydebts contracted by her agents.

“8th. Tha- she will reward by' dona-

tions in land all who volunteer theirservices in her present struggle, and re-!

ceivc them as citizens.

“These declarations we solemnly!avow to the world, and call God to wit-ness their truth and sincerity, and in-;

volte defeat and disgrace upon our heads,

should we prove guilty ofdup icity.”

It is worthy of particular attention]

that this declaration affords another and

an unanswerable prool ol the In. hear-,

ance of thd Texans and of their firm ad-

herence, even to the last moment, to the

constitution which they had sworn to 1

support, and to their political obligations

as Mexican citizens. For, although at

this very tjme the federal system and,

constitution of 1824 had been overturn-!

ed and trampled under foot by military!

usurpation in all other parts of the re-

public, and although our country \ves

actually invaded by the usurpers for the]

purpose of subjecting us to the military

rule, the people of Texas still said tothe Mexican nation—“restore the fede-ral constitution and govern in conform-

ity to the social compact w hich we areall bound by our oaths to »us au and wewill continue to be a memherof the Mex-ican Confederation.” This nolne andgenerous act, as such it certainly wasunder the circumstances, is of itselt

sufficient to repel and silence the false

charges which the priests and despots ofMexico have made of the ingratitude ofthe Texans. In what does this iiigrat-''

itude consist? I cannot see, unless it

he in our enterprise and perse) erance

in giving value to a country that the

Mexicans considered valueless, and thusexciting their jealousy and chpidity.

To show more strongly the absurdityof this chrrge of ingratitude, &c. madebv the general government of Mexico,

and of the pretended claims to liberality,

which they set up, for having given for

tunes in land to the settlers ol Texas.

—

It must be remembered that, with the

exception of the first three hundred fam-

ilies settled by myself, the general gov-

ernment have never granted or given

one foot of land in Texas. The vacantland belonged to the State ol Coanuihr

and Texas so long as they remained

united, and to Texas so soon as she was

a State separate from Conhuiln. Sin e

the adoption of the federal system in

1824, the general government have riev-j

er had any power or authority whateverj

to grant, sell, or give any land in Tex-as, nor in any other Stale. This pow-er was vested in the respective Stales.

|

The lands of Texas have therefore Leendistributed by the State of Coalutila and

Texas, (with the exception of three hun-

dred families above mentioned) and not

this credit, men of judgement must de- 1 dirt and dust, anrt the Feathei* rid-of the rxtnurr

ei.le, with the know ledge of the fact that' »•»> b »'' !‘ n,e" 'vhich ,h, V acrmnulaiert tiom

certificates have been given

I ceitify, that ! have had a number of old beds

Cause? we are not sufficiently “docile’’ to cleansed amt dressed by O. Badger’s PatentFeather dressing Machine, some ol which bad

been in constant use for many, yeais, and that the

Feathers had lost their original elasticity, so

much so, that I considered .them of but little va-

lue; hut by the operation of his machine, I find

them restored to their original liveliness*, and the

unpleasant odour entirely removed , which Fcath-

thers long used must necessarily imbibe; and so

far as I have been able to discover, [ have no

hesitation in recommending to the public as a val-

uable improvement, a»»d worth v of patronage.

A. THROCKMORTON.We, the subscriber^ concur with Maj. Throck-

morton , having had beds cleansed and dressed,

and can cheerfully recommend it to the public.EDW. B. ELY,FRANCIS HENRY.

I approve of the method of cleaning Feathers,

have tried it, and can lecommend it to others.W. S. VERNON.

I certify, that I had a lot of new Feathers,which had for a length of time been compressed

in h sack, and on examination l found they con-

! tained insects, and bad iu a great measure lost

t their elasticity,and were unfit for use. Having

j

heard of O. Sabin's machine, I was induced lo

have them dressed, when they returned [ foundthem fiee from worms and other insects, theFeathers restored to their original liveliness, and

I the unpleasant odour peculiar to new Feathers,

|

effectually removed;and I have no hesitation in

irecommending the machine to the public.

To e nse this mutter about ingratitude,I will ask— if it was not ingratitude inthe people of the United Slates to resist]

the “theory of oppression” and separate

from England?—can it be ingratitude inthe people of Texas to resist oppression

and usurpation by separating from Mexit o?

ticket for City officers in Cincinnati,

the residence of“the Hero of Tippecanoe.''

If there was any doubt, on their part, of

his success at home, which now appears,

by their exultation, what hopes have

they in other parts of the Union, where!

neighborhood personal feelings can have

no operation?

No apology upon compulsion, should

ever be made, and we. “excuse” our

neighbors of the Observer for persever-

ing in a refusal to make atonement to

the Democratic party on the subject of

the North Carolina contested election.

Yet in the declaration that no such atone-

ment shall be made, i3 an admission, that

they were agreeably disappointed— that,their previous predictions had not been

fulfilled,—and speaks of the “Van Burenjparty marching up to the trough.” In

the article of the Observer which we no-

ticed in our last, it is admitted that Mr.

Graham, the Whig contestant, hdd not an’

“iota of testimony” to establish his claim

to the seat; and we now ask the Editors

how many Whig members failed to

“come up to the trough,” to sustain him.

One other observation, and we drop

the last Observer:— I bat print notices'the recent establishment of two pa-

pers in Ohio, to support old Tippeca-

noe; one of which by Mr. Gardner, wh >

“was nominated by the President to sev-

eral lucrative and important offices.”

—

The Observer fyrgot to inform its readers,

that the said nominations were rejected

by the pirty which Mr. G. now propos-

es to give his support. Would his nomi-

nation now be rejected by the same par-

ty? Let the nomination to the State Le-

gislature, by the Whigs of Lexington and

Fayette county, answer the question.

A most Christian people, arc the citi-

zens of Lexington. They return good

for evil, and even it smitten on one

cheek, they turn the other. U ho». the

Capitol in Frankfort was consumed by

fire, a proposition was introduced into

the Legislature^ for the removal of the

seat of -Government, and Lexington

seemed to be the most favored point.

—

Henry Daniel, E-q. then a member from

Montgomery, made an attack upon Lex-

ington, in his happiest st' le of “s ang-

jwhanging,” and among other things, re-

gretted, that his duty required him to

pass through the streets of that abom i lia-

ble sink of vice and corruption, whilst

travelling from his residence to the seat

.of government, to attend to Ins public

.duties—-that were it possible,- he wouldj

_

.avoid the pollution of breathing its pesti-

lential air. Yet at a Whig meeting in

this City on Monday last, this same

Jdenry Daniel—this delainer of our fairCity, was, by its inhabitants, nominated

to represent the n in the next Kentucky

legislature!!! We would ask it the

Whigs of Lexington are prepared to con-

firm this nomination? Are the citizens

of the Country willing to give the calum-

niator of her seat of Justice another op-

portunity, in the same arena to vent his,

gall, and pour forth his torrents ot vulgar

abhse and witticism, at the expense of

their cherished city?

satisfactorily answer those questions.

From Florida wo have nothing of much

importance since our last. Ot the treaty,

which was said to have passed through

Richmond, Va. we have no further intel

ligence; but a predatory warfare contin-

ued between the United States’ troops

and the Indians, at our last dates, altlio’

nothing serious had transpired.

From Texas there is a report, which

wants confirmation, that General Graham

had ftllen in with the advanced guard of

the Mexican Army, and defeated them

with great slaughter.

Since the above was written, we learn

from a gentleman just from Louisville,

that the steamboat Mediterranean ar-

rived at that city on Thursday* evening

from Ne*v Orleans, and that a gentleman

on board the boat slated, that just as it

was about to start, intelligence was re-

ceived at New Orleans, that a great bat-tle had been fought between tlio Tex inn

forceaun ler General Houston, and the

Mexican army under Cos, which resulted

in the ca,- ire of the entire Mexican ar-

my, afier a most bloody engagement, and

that every Mexican was put.to the sword.

OBSERVER AND REPORTER—EX-ECUTIVE APPOINTMEN PS.

The Bank-whig pressrs throughout

t!ie country, are groaning in the anguish

of defeated malice, at the recent confirm-

ation by the Senate, of the nominations

of Messers. Taney, Barbour, Kendall,

Stevenson and Eaton. Stung by the re-

coding scorpion of fhourarted treachery,

and writhing in the sickening conscious-

ness, that the controling influence of the

late infamous faction of the U. S. Sen-

ate, is buried beyond the hope of a res-

urrection, by the omnipotent f it of re-publican virtue

;the leaders and ds of

the opposition now seek, to direct the at-

tention of the people from their former

disgraceful course, their present c n-

temptible position; and their future per

fidious designs, by resnrtin

tion of the constitution,

prodigious specimens of logical reasonj

ing are given,—the Observer, gravely|

asks, are not these facts sufficient to open •

the eyes of t lie people to the immensepowers not delegated by the constitution,

I

which the President has taken to himself?

What facts did the' Observer refer to,-and where aro the immense powers

which the President has assumed? It

has not exhibited a single fact, except that

Benton has introduced his expunging re-

solution, and as to the assumptions of the

Executive, has not covered its charge

with even the poor shadow of the lowest

grade of evidence. We hope it does notexpect to “open the eyes of the people”

with misrepresentation, and give them

nothing but the gastly skeleton of false-'

ilioorlfbgaze after they are open! Nothing

but palpiblc facts can discover to us the

unknown realities which it savs exist.

We therefore ^hink the Observer's /acts,are insuffieicn if this paragraph is a fair

specimen;and we believe it is, and more

loo. In it, we found one fact, tile intro-duction of Mr. Benton’s resolution, and

upon this we supported ourselves, whilesurveying the beauties of the surround-

ing objects. We have carefully examin-ed the remainder of the article, but asthere is not a single foot-hold to he seen,we shall not, of course, attempt to gothrough. It is a very smooth affair, tosay the least, and it might perhaps hethought uncharitable to say the most ofit, as that would require us to tell whatit i.s most entirely clear off, notwithstand-

ing its being a line sample of the federalwhig market the present time. We hopethe Observer will continnc its lucid ex-hibition of farts, and its mathematical dc -

PROPOSALSFOR rUBUSHINO A NEW MEDICAL JOURNAL, TO

BE ENTITLED THE

WESTERN MEDICAL REFORMER.

IN piescnting a Medica I Journal to an enlight-ened public, in whichwr propose advocatibn

a reformation in the science olMedicine, it ves

comes us to fairly and candidly state the motipur-

which actuate us, and the course we intend to

*ue as editors.mcd

As the very favorable reception of the Keforage-

Practice of Medicine, the success and encourntry

roent of its adherents in every section ofcoutei

in which its has been introduced, superiority

over every other denomination of Botanic Prac-

!ice having not only excited the jealousy ofthose

who use vegetable medicines, (known by the title

of Thompsonian* or Steam Doctors'! but also the

envy and jealousy of those who use calomel, Tat-

tar Emetic, Corrosive Sublimate, Si c. , and as the

last named have undertaken to misrepresent and

sink us on the premises assumed by Thoinpson-

ians, instead of our own—we bare considered itnecessary in order to defend the Reformed Prac-

tice, to offer to the pubjic the proposed journal.

We ara aware of the difficulties to be encoun-tered and the obstacles geneially thrown in the

way of those who undertake to reform any estab-

lished custom, or who propose the least variation

from preconceived and favorite opinions. Weknow there are some i ndividuals in all countries

who naturally diead any change from what theyhave been accustomed to, and who shut their

- eyes

and turn a deaf ear to all evidence that iscalcula-

ted to convince them of their error. But when

we reflec t that we live in an age of investigationand improvement, surrounded by a free, enlighten-

ed and liberal minded people, most of whom read-ily perceive what is calculated to be beneficial to

mankind and disposed to encourage the spirit ofgenius and improvement—we feei much encour-aged, and confidently believe that we will receive

a liberal assistance from our fellow citizens, in

endeavoring to effect a refoimaiion in the healing

art. JFhilst improvements have been making in

the different arts and sciences, we ask has the sci-

ence of Medicine been improved so as to lessen

the quantity of human sickne s* We answer, ithas not. What then can be the reason t Thesciences of Anatomy, Chemistry, Physiology, &r.

have certainly been greatly improved, and yet dis-

eases are more aumerous and as fatal as they ever

were. It is because Physicians, particularly in

the lastfifty years, recommend and use unnaturalmineral preparations, such as Arsenic, Calomel,

Blue Pill, Tartar Emetic, Coriosive Sublimate,

&c., which they almost exclusively rely upon inthe treatment of all diseases, the result of which

has been that the science of Medical Botany hasbeen most wretchedly neglected, many valuablecitizens lost, and those who survive the effect ofsuch poisons doomed to drag out a miserable existeuce with injured ai d frequently broken consti-

tutions. Let it not be supposed that v\e contend

for ignorarre, or the unity of disease which is the

very essence of quackery . We advocate the ab-solute necessity of an intimate knowledge of Ana-tomy, Chemistry, Physiology, Medical Botany,

and the other associate sciences, in which respect

we differ from the other denominations of BotanicPhysicians, and the most striking difference- be-tween our practice and. the common mineral prac-tice, is in tne articles used as remedies— they relyingon mineral , we on vegetable medicines, whichdifference is to us irreconcilable, and is the princi

pal unfortunate defect in the healing art, inwhich we propose a reformation .

In order to make our journal generally interest-ing, wo will publish an accurate account of thecomposition and mannei of making Calomel andthe other different preparations of Mercury in use,— also the whole list of mineral poisons that aregiven as remedies, and their antidotes. We be-lieve that if people generally knew the ingredientsand manner of action of these subtle poisons theywallow, tney would not use them .

Rules will be given fur the prevention or dis

case and preservation of health.

The treatment of the diseases of women andchildren. It is an indisputable fact that many females are rendered feeble and nervous by even imoderate use of Calomel, the Blue Pill or someother disease creating Mineral, and many childrendeprived of a sound constitution through life, by

an unnatural and impropei treatment.

We will repel charges already made against usas Reformers, and such* others as may be made,and worthy of notice. Well written coinimuncalions either for or against the Reformed practicewill be cheerfully inserter!, and if necessary com-mented upon.

VVe will publish an account of many valuableplants, the manner of using them, and the diseas-es to which they are applicable, in doing which wewill txpect to furnish our readers with a descrip-

tion of many vegetable productions that art toomuch neglected, and to which authors have not asytt, ascribed their proper medical virtues.

Medical essays and the treatment of difficultand interesting cases will frequently find a placein our columns.

A due portion ol cur journal will be devotedlo a defence of the Reformed practice of Medi-cine, and strictures on the common mineral prac-tice.

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICELITERATURE.

fWIO .ay that this is a reading age, implies aJL desire for instruction, and the means to grat-

ify that desire. On the first point, all are agreed ;on the second, there is diversity both of opinion

and of practice. We hare newspapers, magazines,reviews ; in fine, pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly

all subjects, which have severally their classes of

readers and supporters. And yet, copious as arethese means of intellectual supply , more are still

needed. In addition to the reviews of the day,

and passing notices of books, the people, in large

numbers, in all parts of our great republic, crave

the possession of the books themselves, and details,

beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress of

discovery in art and science. But though it he

easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not

so easy to gratify them Expense, distance from

the emporium of literature, engrossing occupations

which prevent personal application or even mes-

sages to libraries and booKsellers, are so many

causes to keep people away from the feast of rea-

son , and the enjoyment ol the coveted literary ali

me n t . It is the aim of the publishers of ihe^Li-

brary to obviate these difficulties, and to enable

every individual, at a small cost and without any

personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that

of his favored friends or family, valuable works,

complete, on all the branches ol useful and popu

lar literature, and that in a form well adapted in

the comfort of the reader.

The charm of variety, as far as it is compatible

with mora'ity and good taste, will be held con-

stantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill

the pages of which, the current literature of Great

Britain, in all its various departments of Bingra

phv, History, Travels, Novels and Poetry, shall

be freely put under contribution. With perchance,occasional exceptions, it is intended to give entire,

the work which shall be selected for publication.

When circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will be had to the literary stoies of Conti

nental Europe and translations made from French,Italian, or German , as the case may be.

Whilst tha body of the work will be a reprint,

or at times a translation of entire volumes, the

rover will exhibit the miscellaneous character of a

Magazine, and consist of sketches of men andthings, and notices of novelties in literature and

the arts, throughout the civilized world. A fulland regular supply of the lileiary monthly and

hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and Ire-land, in addition to home periodicalo of a similarcharacter, cannot fail to provide ample materials

for this pait of our work.

The resources ami extensive correspondence olthe publishers, are the best guarantee for the con-

tinuance of the enterprise in which they are nowabout to embark, as well as for the abundance of

the materials to give it value in the eves ol the

public. As far as udicious selection and arrange-ment are concerned, '.eadeis will, it is hoped, havereason to be fully satisfied, as the editor of the

Library is not a sti auger to them, but has more

than once obtained their favorable suffrages for

his past literary efforts.

TERMS.The work will be published in weekly numbers

in stitched covers, each number containing twentyimperial octavo pages, with double columns, ma-king two volumes annually, of more than 520octavo pages, each volume; and at the expiration

of every six months, subscribers will be furnished

with a handsome title page and table of contents.The whole amount of matter furnished in a singleyear, will be equal to more than forty volumes ofthe common s*zed English duodecimo books, thecost of which will be at least ten limes the price

of a year’s subscription to the “Libiary.” Thepaper upon which the Library will be printed, willbe of the finest quality used lor book-work, and of

a site admirably adapted for binding. As the typewill be entirely new, and of a neat appearanre,

each volume, when bound, will furnish a hand;some, as well as valuable, and not cumbrous a I

dilion to the libraries of those who patronize thework.

The price of the Library will be $5 per an-num, payable in advance.A commission of 20 percent, will be allowed

to agent* ; and any agent, or postmaster furnish-ing five subscribers and remitting the amount ol

j

subscription, shall be entitled to the commissio*

of twenty pei cent, or a copy of the work for oneyear.

A specimen of the work, or any informationrespecting it may be obtained by addressing thepublishers, post paid.
