V
Amendment of tbe Constitution
The Judiciary Committee unanimously agreed
to the joint resolution for changing the Const!,
tution, so as to increase the number of Judges
and to augment their pay. The report states
as a fact, that cases, submitted on argument
more than three years ago, remain still unde-
termined.
Lake Trade.
A writer in the Jefferson Herald proposes to
raise A subscription tor cleaning out tbe Lake.
. That meetings be called at Jefferson, Smith-
land, Benton, Port Caddo, Marshall, &c. &c.
Thinks fifty cents a bale on the crop of *53, to

v; Marshall University.—A bill has passed
(he lower house of our present Legislature,
changing tho name of this Institution—tbe glory
and pride of Marshall and ornament of Texas—
to Van Zandt College.
Is this by the consent of the Trustees ? We
do not know. If so, huve they not extinguished
one of the luminaries of Marshnll, and dimmed
the glory and lustre of the place t
If it was not done with their consent, then is
not the act void ab initio/ \Ve would go all
proper lengths to honor the name of Van
Zandt; with muny, it is doubtless, and deserv-
edly, a cherished name ; but a change of (hi*
sort, not to be impolitic, requires a powerful
reason. In spite of nil tho powers of legisla-
tion, its location wilt give name to the Institution
abroad.

Marshall and Us Destiny. j
We do not think ourself an enthusiast; but
in the light of sober reason, can discern, at no
great distance in the future, tie dawning of a
brighter era for Marshall. ?
Rumor—but pretty veil authenticated, we
think—reports that a pompany in VicksUirg has
undertaken to construct the Railroad to Monroe,
a distance o> eighty miles. That this road
ttill be l *'it, and ultimately become a part of
the roi>*e to the Pacific, is as certain as the
confeliued existence of our Government. Des-
t«iy, or a physical necessity, has decreed it,
and neither art, energy, nor any amount ot
capital can overcome the obstacles of any other
route, so as to compete with the nataral ad van
tages ol this.
A printing office will} a heavy list of ex
changes is the very focus where information
from every quarter centres. It is from this
position we have watched the current of public
opinion, in regard to this matter, with great so
licitudo. Public opinion abroad is no longer
vacillating, but is settling down, with unmis
tuluuble certainty, on tho line of the Vicksburg
fonte.
• Tho friends, and even tho company, we un
derstand, of the Opelousas road, on which there
is now a large force at work, have ceased their
opposition, and now have k commissioner, or
agent, in Austin, seeking a charter uniting the
Opelousas road wiih our own at Marshall. This
is no idle rumor, but a Jixed fact, which wo
have from the very highest authority.
Ours, in a direct and practical lino, is the
grout trunk, not only of Texas, but ol ull the
region west and south of the Alleghany mouu
tains, on to wlilch any and all ronds may graft
themselves ; and in this light, without treading
one step backward from our line, we welcome,
with a hearty greeting, the Opelousas road, as
a most powerful auxiliary to the Great National
Pacific Railroad.
New Orleans, treading tho outskirts of tho
Mississippi and Red River vulk>y, buries the
tomnhawk it raised some twolvo months ago,
and now comes up to woo us with its bright and
sunny smile at Marshall. And not many years
can elapse eVe Memphis, Little Rock and Ful
ton will bo here knocking for admission.
The Charleston and Sun Diego train, the
Memphis and New Orleans cars,—all meeting
at Marshall! I
Call this a fancy sketch, and laugh at the
idea ; but remember, these roads will be built
and wherever they meet they will l uild up n
city, which, in a hundred years, shall number
souls with London itself. Remember this fact
also—" Cotton is King I" and the line of 32 30

is second to none; and, take it all in all, it is

Then why not let us go to work, and estab

Railroad Company, increase the amount ol
stock, and hufld the road to Shrcveport, if n<
further. The work, when once begun, is more

news from Mexico.
The mail which arrived yesterday Irom the
city of Mexico confirms the rumors which were
circulated yesterday that Don Mariano Arista
had resigned the Presidency, and Don Juan
Bautista Cervallus, President of the Supreme
Court, had assumed the direction of the Gov-
ernment in virtue of his office. The Siglo of
the 4th says :
" Yesterday everything was uncertainly In
the city. Startling rumors circulated through
the streets, keeping all parties in a foment, and
there was much doubt as to whether^Pn/Aris-
ta would resign or not. Those who feared an
etneufe. opposed the resignation. The Ministry
desired to ascertain public opinion on the ques-
tion, and-long conferences were held with the
principal deputies, particularly with the mem
hers of the Finance Committees of both Houses.
Gen. Arista becoming persuaded that he could
rtot obtain extraordinary powers from Congress,
resolved to resign the Presidency.
"This determination became public, and
alarming rumors were circulated, but they had
so little effect that tho theatre that night was
•tilled to overflowing. It was confidently «tated,
on one hfiud, that a Dictatorship would be pro
claimed, while on the other it was announced
with equal certainty that a pronunciamiento
would take place in favor of the plan of GUadal
njara. All this was unfounded. Public traquil-
ity had remained undisturbed in the capital A
lew foreigners appeared in the coffee houses and
in the Gorman club wiih arms, but only with a
view of protecting property in case of any dis
oidor.
" Gen. Arista left tho place at Klf.pastone in
the morning, in his coach, with an escort of
filly men from tho Police Brigade, nnd a small
guard fiiom the 5th Regiment. We do not
know what route he took.
" The President of the Supreme Court of
Justice, arrived at the palace at midnight, hav
ing been sent for by the President, who, we un
derstand, lelt with him the letter of resignation
to be presented to Congress, and handed him an
official communication, authorizing him in con
formity with the constitution to assume the EzS
ecutlve power."
The editors of the Diario add to the prece
ding. Our correspondent in the city of Mexico,
worthy of all credit, informs us that the city of
Mexico was expected to pronounce every mo<<
ment In favor of General Santa Anna, and the
plan of Guadalajara. Generals Salas and
Lomburdeni being at tho head of this move
ment. Should this event take place, the Presi
deticy of Sr. Ceballos, although confirmed by
the Chamber of Deputies, will be of shaft du
ration.
From Vera Cruz we are informed that Gen
Woll was expected to lake command of Ihe re
volutlonary troop, which had been stiengthened
by the garrison from lho castle of 1'erote. This
General is looked upon at Vera Cruz as agent
and representative of Genoral Santa Anna,
whose consistent friend he has always been.—
His presence and well-known energy, will con
tribute powerfully to the success ,of the Revolu
tion.
[for the pat&iot,
Mu. Editor—
As the railroad subject is so much harped
upon, I will endeavor (o be pertinent, without
being tedious.
The only way I can conceive for us to have a
railroad speedily, is for the people of Texas and
Louisiana to unite, and let their combined efforts
ba applied to the railroad, regardless of other
roads In other sections. Let Texas assist Louis
iuna in gettiug the work underway. Commence
at Ihe beginning. Each mile of Ihe road com
pleted, will assist in the completion of the sue
ceeding one.
True, Louisiana will reap tbe first beuefits of
the road. What of that? The road ¡sJuund
to be there before it can be here. AssisfJ^ouis*
iana, and have Louisiana bound to assurfxexas.
Unite, and make one unnnimous efforts, I have
no doubt the citizens of that StaMT would be
willing to pay a handsome per oéntage oh any
capital invested by Texas to advance the enter
prise, juri make the payment perfectly secure
a union, I think, would give a powerful
impetus to the work, and be of mutual benefit
to each State.
Let Texas call a grand Railroad Convention
and appoint superintendents of the road, to nego
tiate with those of Louisiana. Let-the people
the " whole peoole," unite, with a determination
to havo the rond, and commence at Ihe begin-
ning, and wo will soon have a railroad.

We are informed by a gentleman who recent-
ly passed through our city, of a suspicion pretty
generally entertained by some of the Northern
cities, though not openly expressed, that Gerritt
Smith, Arthur Tappan, Horace Greeley, and
other wealthy and influential socialists, abolition-
ists and womon's-rights men in the North, are
ndeavorlng to get up a company for tbe purpose
of taking all the stock, under one of the chart*
ers granted by our Legislature. They calculate
to be able co build 300 miles of road, which, ac
cording to the plan recently suggested of doub
ling Ihe land bonus offered to companies, will
give them over three millions of acres. This
immense territory they propose tocolonizd with
Northern fanatics, and ultimately to erect it into
a free soil State.
We can hardly credit so extravagant a ru
mor ; and yet, knowing how unscrupulous and
designing the men are whose names are at the
head of this scheme, there Is nothing too nefu-
rious for us to expect from them. We,give the
eport to our readers as it came to us, without
vouching for its authenticity.—News.
Wo confess wo aro not so skeptical as our
neighbor of the News. Gerrllt Smith is worth
about five millions of dollars ; Arthur Tappan,
some two millions or more ; Horace Grseley
has recently realized a large sum from a specu
lation in New York City property. Backed by
other Northern capitalists of the fanatic frater*
nlty, and powerfully assisted by their filies over
ihe water, the above individual are fully able
to accomplish a scheme of the kind proposed.
Those zealots have already made great per*
sonal sacrifices for the advancement of thekr be
nevolent purposes, and now that a Chance is
opened for turning their philanthropy Into profit
and making a speculation out of fanaticism},
there can be no doubt ot their readiness to em.
bark all their energy and a good portion of their
means in tho undertaking.
The English philanthropists, who aro so at
tentive to the affairs of the Southern States are,
no doubt, mixed up with, if not at the bottom of
this movement. It is well known that they con
stantly keep a corps of secret emUsáries in all
parts of the Union, South as well as North, who
are ever on the alert for opportunities favorable
to the accomplishment of their designs. We
know not how many of these agents have fallen
to our share. The feasibility of obtaining i
large tract of country in the State of Tesa
with chartered privileges, and the means there,
by afforded of planting on slave soil a colony of
fanatics whose rallying cry is " land for the
landless," and whose avowed principles are,
abolition of slavery at any cost, community of
property, women's rights, and every other wild
vagary of theib districted times, could not well
escape tho vlgllence of these men,
It Is perfectly futile to imagine that a limita
tion of the existence of corporations, by a provis
ion in their chartors that they shall sell out in a
specified time, will prove any bar, or operate as
the slightest check to this scheme. The corpo
ration can and will dispose of its property to the
individual corporators, who will continue to act
in concert and perpetuate their design and the*
means to effect it, until it shall have been fully
accomplished.
We cannot believe that the efforts recently
made to increase the power of landed compa
nles in this State, by doubling the proposed do
nations of land to corporations, are intended by
all who have made them to play into the hands
of Grecle^, Smith dt Co., but that they will
have that effect, and may eyep *¿ve iuggrst&
tho movement and set it afoot, there is no deny
ing. Lit our politicians take care that they are
not made the tools of Northern and English
abolitionists\--Gal. Journal.

The New Orleans Press,
The New Orleans Crescent hits off thj other
daily papers in that city, upon the subject of tbe
State printing, in the following style
We find it impossible to regulate our demo*
cratic friends, in their sudden accession of polit-
ical power. In the very matter of ttie State
printing—a small matter, which we bad hoped
they would quietly drop into our lap—they have
found cause of quarrel, and become excessively
unamiable, and, therefore, as excessively disa*
greeable. If they cannot come to an agreement
In reference to the disposal of tbe State printing,
they might "just as well" drop it into our hands,
and save any quarrel in the democratic family.
TJiere is the Courier asking for tbe State
printing: a most*ungenerous course, after our
voluntary promise not to compete with tbe Cour•
ier for th'e U. S. printing I We know very well
what influence with General (Mr.?) Pieroe our
application would have. But, nevertheless, the
Courier may have that U. S. printing, without
our interfering. It is a very respectable, old*
fashioned concern, and we do not care Ihe vahié
of a Continental copper if it die of apoplexy,
from excess of (easting on official patronage.
But we are not certain that it runa >o grievous

At ^meeting of American citizens, held 16th
November,at the American Club, Rue Mont-
martre, Paris, Mr. Rives, U. S. Minister, deliv.
ered an eloquent address, in which he passed a
high euloglum upon Mr. Webster, and made a
comparison between him and Mr. Clay. He
said:
" It was my privilege, and a great one I un-
doubtedly esteem it, to have served in both
Houses of Congress with these extraordinary
men; and, differing from tbem, as I sometimes
did, on questions of policy, it now affords me the
most sincere satisfaction to boar my humble
testimony to the wonderful endowments which
gave tbem the lead which they possessed in the
public councils of their country. Eminent as
they both were, and standing on the same line
of eminence, there were yet remarkable and
characteristic differences between them. If I
were to venture an opinion In regard to their re-
spectlve excellencies, I should say that Ihe one,
though adorned with the highest gifis of tho or-
ator, was yet more pre-eminent as the great
practical Statesman and leader; the other,
though posscsing all the accomplishments of the
statesman, was yet more distinguished as the un-
rivaled orator and jurist. The one by force of
his character and will, and his high personal at-
tributes, asserted a control over the hearts aud
actions of men j the other, by tho majestic dis-
plays of his intellect, wrought up t^oir minds
and moulded their sentiments and convictions.
Tho one will be remembered more by the
length add variety of his uublio service, and the
great and beniflceut measures of national policy
which he organized and carried ; the other, by
the grand and lolly aspiiatiotis of his genius em*
bodied in his speeches and discourses.
The one resembled his own Mississippi,
which, traversing immense regions, #nd fed ny
mighty and abundant tributaries from the right
and from the loft, bears ihe gathered riches of
mi empire upon its bosom, while pouring Its ra*
pld nml restless current onward m the sea ¡ the
