The Bolters Vs. the Houston Conven-
tion.
It is known that the contemplated
Convention, to be holden at Hender-
son on the 13t-li of this month, "has
bcen-c&lled by the bolters from the late
Henderson Convention, and that they
have issue^ a.circular letter to voters
of this Congressional District, profess-
ing to give the reasons which prompt
them to the course they have taken ;
and as this circular, we learn, has been
thrown broadcast throughout the Bis-
ter were admitted " to seats in.the Con-
vention. Suppose this were true, which
lar of these bolters however shows, that
they do not appeal to' the Democracy
the proceedings of the Convention kit the ballot-box, bat they appeal to
however, say is not, there ¬ a shad- L L
otf%f pretence th^t a single county
was misrepresented, and that to our
mind is a conclusive answer to this
special pleading, and technical quib-
bling. To read this bolting, disorgani-
zing circular, one would be led to be-
lieve that a very large proportion of
the counties, and voters in the Dist rict,
were represented by unauthorized del-
egates and "proxies of every character."
Let us for a moment examine the
facts as shown from the proceedings of
the Convention. The following coun-
ties were represented by delegates viz :
Anderson,. - Cass, Cherokee, Collin,
Fannin; Grayson, Harrison, Henderson,
Houston, Hunt, Lamar, Nacogdoches,
Panola, Red River, Rusk. San Augus-
tine, Shelby, Smith and Upshur, IS) in
number ; the following comities were
represented by proxies, viz: Collin,
Hardin, Hopkins, Kaufman and Titus ;
five in number, in each of which five
counties, Domocratic- county meetings
had been held, delegates appointed*, and
instructed to vote for Judge Reagan in-
itio Convention, and these facts we un-
derstand were shown by regular copies
pf their proceedings, which were before
the Convention, and yet the impression
is endeavored to be made, that Judge
Reagan, was nominated bv an irregu-
larly gotten up Convention, having no
authority from the voters whom the
delegates represented, and we must be
permitted to say, that we think, that
portion of their circular is about as
fair a representation of facts, as any
.ponta'ined in it. The circhlav also
iriet; and is circulated to mislead and ("complains, thq^the "organization of the
^eive the people; we have concluded ^Convention was equally reprehensible''''
to notice the rare document, at leastj&c.,
so far as jt giveS a version of fhe ac-
tion of the late Hendersou Convention.
' -.Tiro attempt is made in lite circular
to create the impression, that the Con-
vention was unfairly organized, and
that.its action was " unauthorized and
extraordinary." Let us see if facts
that "one of Judge Reagan's
friends was called temporarily to the
chair, another' appointed secretary,."
and "were evidently preparing to pack*
the convention" <fcc. We are assured
by those who were in attendance on
the convention, that the charge of pre-
paring to pack the convention gratui-
sustain that assumption. We have ex-jtous in the extreme. By their own
amiiied the published proceedings of!showing, they were not present at the
the Convention, and lind the following Court-house when the convention was
facts to exist. lint before stating the . called to order,-and temporarily organ-
facts from the proceodings of the Con- j >z°d, where they were we know not,
1 but presume were some where engaged
in concocting schemes to defeat the
nomination of Judge Reagan, or dis-
solve the co>hventiou ; at least their ab-
sence fron; the Court-house when the
convention was called to order, ought
to account to them, why one of their
number was not called to the chair or
. ventioft, and in order that they may be
more clearly understood, we will re-
mark, that there are forty four organiz-
ed counties in this District, and that
according to the returns of last year,
they contain about 34-,000 voters. The
proceedings of the Convention show
that 24 of these counties were repre-
sented i:v the Convention, they contain appointed secretary. We believe too.
~ !it is usual in all parliamentary bodies,
for the majority to control its organiza-
tion, and we think the foregoing facts
about 2^000 voters,- leaving unrepre-
sented in the Convention 20 organized
counties, containing a voting
tion of obout 8,000. Thus it will beJ will satisfy any unprejudiced mind-that
seen that over three-fourths of tlie vot-
ers of the District were represented in
the Convention. "Of thcser 26,000 vo-
ters represented, the delegates from
four counties containing a voting popu-
lation of something over 5,000 with-
drew from tbe Convention, but they
did not even withdraw until the second
jday of the Convention, and then not
nil til after doing all they could to de-
these . bolting .delegates have no just
cause to object to the authority of, the
delegates, the organization, or action of
the convention. But again the bolters
(13 in number), complain that the com-
mittee on credentials was composed al-
most exclusively of the friends of
Judge Reagan, they themselves com-
pletely answer this objection by show-
ing that though they controlled but
feat the nomination of Judge Reagan, ifour counties is the convention, they
anil not then, until after his name had j had live votes in the committee. From

nothing remained to be done but to shown that the committee on credentials

Convention. When the vote upon the
nomination of Judge Reagan was tak-
en in the Convention, delegates from
twenty counties representing over 20,-

at hand. Our conversation was re-

seated them on
his knees, and began to tell them, a
fairy story, (evidently of his own in-
vention, and extemporised,) to which
they listened with profound attention.
Indeed, I could 'not -help being inter-
ested in the story, so fanciful were the
i^as, and.so poetical tfye language in
which chey were expressed..

placed the children on the carpet, and
approached the table on which stood,
in a porcelain vase, a bouquet of flow-
abide^ the decision of a convention oilers. These he admired, and began a
the 13th of June, any more readilj discourse on floriculture. I listened
than they now abide the decision of
the one of the 2d of May? what assu-
rance have the. people that-they would ?
No' person but themselves (if they do)
can doubt if it were anything like a
full Democratic convention*, one which
reflected the sentiments of the people,
that the result in the one case would
be the same as in the other, exeept that
the Democracy of the counties repre-
sented by these bolters would proba-
bly send Democrats., instead of faction-
ists to the convention. Democrats who
would labor for the harmony, unity
and success of the party, instead of en-
deavoring to turn it into a sectional
faction, or failing in that, to attempt
to disorganize and destroy it. We pre-
sume that it is.scarcely probable that
they desire or expect a fujl, fair, Dem-
ocratic convention, or that they expect
Democaats to meet and*act-with them.
We think it is more probable that they
desire alid expect, a meeting of section-
at agitator;>," and extremists, who favor
new, impracticable issues, which can
only serve to distract, divide, and de-
nationalize the Democratic party, in-
sure its overthrow and eventually re-
sult in a dissolution of the Union.
This we believe is the only kind of a
convention or meeting they can have.
H they hold it, and will nominate their
candidate, they will give the people an
opportunity to see their real strength,
and the Democratic party of; the Dis-
trict, an opportunity to purify itself,
and prepare for a Presidential contest
in I860, and to be represented in the
Charleston Convention by Democrats
instead of factionists.
An Illustrious British Exile,
AX AUSTRALIAN SKETCH.
A few veils ago I made the acquain-
tance of an elderly lady, whose hus-
band, so far back as 1796, held an of-
ficial position, both civil and military,
in the colony of New South Wales.
Many anecdotes she told me of celebra-
ted characters who haa, in the words
of one of them, " left their country for
their country's good." With most, if
not with all, of these celebrities the
old lady had come in contact person-
ally.
" One morning," she began, " I was
sitting in my drawing-room with my
two little children, who are now middle
aged men with large families, when a
gentleman was announced. I gave the
order for his admission.; aud on his
entering the door of the apartment, J
rose from my chair and greeted him
with a bow, which he returned iu the
most graceful and courtly manner im
aginable. His dress was that of a man
with intense earnestness, so profound
were all 4iis observations. We were
standing at the table for at least eight
or ten minute's ; my boys hanging on
to th.e skirt of my dress, and every now
and then compelling me to beg' them
to be silent. -• ...
"One o'clock came] but not the ma-
jor. -I received, however, a note from
him, written in .pencil "on, a slip of pa-
per. He would be detained at Gov-
ernment House until half-past two.
Again I requested the fascinating
stranger to partake of luncheon, which
was now on the table in the next room;
and again, with the same winning smile
he declined.# As he was about, as I
thought, to depart, I extended myliand;
but to ;jny astonishment lie* stepped
back, made alow bow, and declined
taking it. - "
"For a gentleman to have his hand
refused when he extends it to another
is embarrassing enough ; but for a lady!
Who can possibly describe what were
my feelings ? Had he been the heir to
the British throne, visiting that penai
settlement in. disguise, (and from the
stranger's manners and conversation he
might have been that illustrious per-
sonage,) he could scarcely have., under
the circumstances, treated me in such
an extraordinary manner. I scarcely
knew what to- think. Observing, as
the stranger must have done, the blood
rush to my cheeks, and being cognizant
evidently-, of what was passing through
my mind, he spoke as follows :
" Madam, I am afraid you will never
forgive me the liberty I have .taken al-
ready. But the truth'is, the passion
suddenly stole over me, and I could
not resist the tempt'ation of satisfying
myself that the skill which . made me
so conspicuous in the mother country
still remained to me in this convict
land."
•
" I stared at him, but did not speak."
" Madam," he continued, " the penal-
ty of sitting at table with you, or tak-
ing the hand you paid "the compliment
to proffer nier-yourself iu ignorance of
the fact I am about to disclose—would
have been the forfeiture of my icket-of-
lea.ve, a hundred lashes, ana employ-
ment on the roads in irons. As it is,
I dread the Major's Wrath ; but I cher-
ish the hope that you will endeavor to
appease it, if your advocacy be only a
return for the brief amusement I af-
forded your beautiful children." *
" You are a convict ? " I said indig-
nantly, my hand on the bell rope.
" Madam," he said, with an expres-
ukin of countenance that moved me to
pity, in spite of my indignation, " hear
me for one moment."
" A convicted felon, how dared you
enter my drawing-room as a visitor?"

delegates, aud instructed them to vote
fSr-Judge Reagan, in the Convention:
Jasper county, in her meeting, which
appointed "delegates to the Houston
Convention, strongly .endorsed him,
bnt did not appoint delegates to the
Sanderson Convention, because it was
nirknown by the meeting that a Con-
gitfcSioirai Convention was to be hold-
cxi. The action of the most of these
counties, we understand, was known to
jthe Henderson Convention, and al-
though they were not represented in
t&B UJnvention, yet they had in alegit-
in&te #aj .ex pleased their preference
for Judge Reagan. Those counties
contain over 3,000 votes, and
if that qamber be added to those cast
for him in the Convention, it shows
that oqt of about 34#©0 voters in the
District/that at least 24$00 by their
dlfegates and public meetings, were in
favor of his; noininatkm-j Again the
clinical objection is made by these
>lters, that " proxies bf every eharac-
Reagan prefers to all others, that is
the tribunal to which he has been, and
is still anxious for them to appeal.
Many of the friends of Judge RdCgan
believed that an effort was being made
grior to the meeting of the Henderson
convention, to send delegates there
who wo&ld * misrepresent counties
enough to secure his defeat, but he de-
termined whatever the result might.be,
to submit his name to that convention,
if. it bore any resemblance to a fair con-
vention, rather than even seemingly to
place himself antagonistic to the Dem-
ocratic party, its principles, or its usa-
ges ; and this was welt understood by
many of his friends.
The bolters no doubt went to the
convention hoping and believing they
could defeat the nomination of Judge
Reagan, hi3 friends wentjthcre fearing
person who had moved in the highest
circles of society. A velsel had arriv-
ed a few days previously from England
with pasengers, and I fancied that this
gentleman was one of them. I asked
him to be seated. He took a chair op-
posite to me, and at once entered into
conversation, making th<? first topic the
extreme warmth of the day, and the
second the healthful appearance of my
charming children—as he was pleased
to speak of theriiA Apart from a moth-
er liking to hear her children praised,
there was such a refinement, in the
stranger's manner, such "a ^bemiug sin-
cerity in all he said, that I could not
help thiukicg he would form a very
valuable acquisition to our list of ac-
quaintances, provided he intended re-
maining in Sidney, instead of settling
in the interior of the colony.
"I expressed my regret that the ma-
jor (my husband) was from home ; but
I mentioned that I expected him at oue
o'clock, at Which hour we took lunch-
eon; and I further expressed a hope
the better of my other feelings.
"The Major, Madam," said the stran-
ger, " requested me to be at his house
at the hour I presented myself; and

" Again I kept silence.''
"Madam!" he exclaimed, "some-
what impassioncdiy and proudly, "I
am no other man than Barrington, the
iilustrious pick-pocket ; snd this is the
hand which in its day has gently pluck-
ed from ladies of rank and wealth,

of -thirty-five thousand pounds, irre-
spective of those which were in my pos-
session, under lock and key, wlfen for-
tune turned her back upon me."
" Barrington, the pick-pocket!"
heard "so jnuch of this man
and his exploits (although, of course, I
had never seenliici,) I couM not help
regarding him with curiosity ; so much
so, that I could scarcely be angry with
him any longer. * *
" M^dam," he continued, " I have
told you that I longed to satisfy myself
whether that skill which rendered me
so illustrious in Europe still remained
to me in this country, after five years
of desuetude. I can* conscientiously
say that I am just as perfect in the.art,
that the touch is just as soft and the
nerve as steady as when I sat in the
dress circle at Drury Lane or Covent
Garden."*
" I do not compreherfd you Mr. Bar-
rington," I replied/* (I could not help
saying Mister.),
" But you will madam, in one mo-
men t. Where are your keys ? "
" I felt my pocket, in which I fan-
cied they were, and discovered that
they were gone^' ;
" And your thimble and pencii-case,
and smelling-salts? They are here!"
(He dftpw them from his coat pocket.)
" My anger was again aroused* It
was indeed, I thought, a frightful liber-
ty for a convict to practice his skill
upon me, and put his hand into the
pocket of my dress. But before
could request him to leave the room
and the house he spoke again ; and as
soon as I heard his voice and looked
in his face, I was mollified, and against
my will, a3 it were, obliged to listen to
him.
" Ah, madam," ho sighed, " such is
the change that, often comes over the
affairs of men ! There was a time when
ladies boasted of having been robbed
by Barrington. Many whom I never
robbed gave it out that I had done so;
simply that they might be talked about.
Alas! such is the weakness of poor
human nature that some people care
not by what means they associate their
names with the name oi any celebrity.
I was in power then, not in bondage.
'Barrington has my. diamond ear-rings,'
Qnce exclaimed the old Countess of
Kettlebank, clasping her hands. Her
ladyship's statement was bot true, Her
diamonds were paste, and she knew ft,
and I caused them to be returned to
her. Had you not a pair of very smali
pearl-droos in your ears this morning,
madam ? "
" I placed my hands to my ears, and
discovered that the drops* were gone.
Again my anger returned, and I said,
' How dared you, sir, place your fin-
gers upon my face ?'
" Upon my sacred word and honor,
madam," he^replied, placing his hand
over his left breast arfd bowing,41 did
nothing of the kind! The ear is the
most sensitivp part of-the human -body
to the touch of another person. Had
I touched your ear, ray hope of having
these drops in my waistcoat pocket
would have been gone. It was the
springs only that I touched, and the
drops fell into the palm of my left
hand." He placed the ear-rings on the
tabic, and made me another low bow.
" And when diu you deprive me of
them ? "-I asked him. ~

culture, you had occasion several times

often carried me into the drawing

sionate curiosity. It was as delicate
and difficult an operation as ever I per-
formed, in the whole coursc of my pro-
fessional career."
There, was a peculiar quaintliess of
jiumor and action thrown into this
into' conversation ^speech ; I could not refrain from laugh-

" As soon as I had made my appear-
ance, Barrington stated the case—all
that had transpired—with minute ac-
curacy ; nay, more, he acted the entire
scene in such a way that it became a
little comedy in itself; the characters
being himself, myself and the children,
all of which characters he represented
with such humor, that my husband and
myself were several times in fits of
langhter. Barrington, tiowever, did
not even smile. He affected to. regard
the little drama, (and this made; it the
inore am using, ),as a very serious busi-
ness, jt*' •. r,
" This play over, my husband

self at the table he wrote : -

pliments to Mr. —, and requests
that a sealed packet, marked I). N. No.

bearer of this note. In the event of
