Got. Houston promises to resign if the people of the Stste demand the eontoking of-the Leg islature. The hoisting of the Lone Star flags in the towns of Texas continues. The follow ing is a passage from Goternor Houston's let ter, dated Novembers 6, hrreply to parties in the Sjate who asked bis opinion : “1 need not assise yon that whenever the time shall come when we must choose between a lose of our-constitutional rights and resolu tion, I shall choose the latter; and if I, who bate led the people of Texas in storm* times of .danger, hesitate to plunge into revolution now, it is not because I am raody to submit to Black Republican rule, but because I regard the Con stitution of my country and am determined to stand by it. Mr. Lincoln has been constitu tionally elected, and much as I deprecate bis success, no alternative is left me but to yield tb the constitution. The moment that instrument is violated by him I will be foremost iu de manding redress and the last to abandon my ground. “ When I contemplate the horrors of civil war, such as dissolution of the Union will ultimately force upon us, 1 cannot believe that the people will rashly take a step fraught with these eon sequences. They will consider well the bles sings of the government we have, and it will only be when the grievances we suffer are of a nature that as freemen we can no longer bear them, that they will raise the standard of revo lution. Then, the civilised world, our own con ■ sciousness and posterity will justify us. if that time should come,, then will be the day and the boar. If it has not—if our rights are yet se cure—we . cannot be justified. Has the time come ?, If it bus, the people who have to bear the burdens of revolution must. then - selves effect the work. “1 trust the gloom which now hangs over the land will be dispelled, Now is the time for the patriot to come forth, and consider what is to be gained by a change. We are called up on to desert the gallant thousands who for years, have been fighting our battles against fanati cism in the North. Heretofore they have aided us to conquer, and we have been willing to abide with them. Now, after a struggle, more glorious than any they yet hove made, they have been driven buck. They still offer us the guarantees of tite constitution, and are ready to battle with us in its defence. Let true men, all over Texas and the South, see to it that we leave them not without a cause. 1 cannot believe that we can find at present more safety out of the Union than in it. Yet I believe itaue the peopie that they should know where they stand Mr. Lincoln has been elected on a sectional issue.— If he expects to maintain sectional issue during his administration, it is well We should know it. If be intends to administer the government with equality and fairness, we should know that.— Let us wait and see. “ Here I take my stand! So long as the Con stitution is maintained by ‘Federal Authority,’ and Texas is not made the victim of ‘ Federal wrong,’ lam for the Union as it is. I am now an aged man. My locks have become white in toiling, as I believe, for the liberties of. man kind. Were I young, that 1 might look forward to the future, feeling that whatever danger might come, my strong arm would be at hand to defend my family, I should feel less anxiety than Ido at present. The years that I will have to endure the misfortunes of civil war are but few. If I could feel that with the close of my career would end the miseries of my race, 1 could share its misfortunes with patience; but to feel that the perils of revolution must continue, that war, with its attendant horrors of blood shed, rapine and devastation must still be visi ted upon it, would embitter my last moments; and after Jiving to witness the demolition of the best Government that ever existed, I would sink to the grave without a hope that freedom would be regenerated, or our posterity ever enjoy again the blessings with which we have parted. Let us pause and ponder well before we take any action outside of the Constitution. Very truly yours, Sam Houston.” Svae Peeacheks —The Chrittian Advocate, an organ of Methodism, says: “ Ever and anon a circuit, or more commonly an ambitious sta tion, that has been afraid to trust itself to the bishop and cabinet, in regular fashion, and has been picking, and choosing, and bargaining be fore every Conference, gets thoroughly run down with star preaoherg. The members who have seen an end.of all perfection in that line, say, “we are tired of star preachers. We want a pastor. Will the Bishop send us a pastor 7” As a general thing “star’’ and “sensation” preach ers are humbugs, and better calculated to shine on the boaads of a theatre than in the pulpit. Suvfebibo ib the Souxu.—The distress con sequent upon the troubled State of our nation is not confined to any one section of the union as will appear from the following paragraph from the Atlanta (Ga.) Locomotive of last week: Never before has there been os many laborers thrown'out of employment in Atlanta as at this present time. Most of the carpenters are idle, (the improvements being all discontinued.) and many of them have, large families depending upon them for bread, and they can get no work. There is indeed a great deal of suffering among the laboring classes in our midst, and we think something should be done for them. . Besiobbd. —Mr. M’Lane our Minister to Mexico, has resigned that post, and ex-Gover nor Weller, of California, has been appointed to succeed him. Mr. M’Lane’s last despatches show that the situation of Mexican affairs has been worse than ever, Shdtbat he had no hope by remaining there as Minister, of rendering any seiyice to bis government. .He bad no hope of negotiating any treaty that would be satisfac tory to the United States government. , Another Fuze Fiqht.— On Tuesday a prise light for one thousand dollars took place near North Berwick.

There are few if any towns iu the country with a population of fire thousand that have not a building of this kind. By reason of this want we lose the visits of all really mer itorious troupos of vocalists and other entertain ments and receive only those of a second or third grade who do not care what kind of a build ing they have 1 to perform in so they get the money. We again refer to this matter hoping that some of our capitalists , will give it at least a consideration. Similar enterprises have proved a complete success in other places T Why not beret Total, Besides the shore there were several pounds of feet, liver and heart, skins and cracklings, which, if added to die above, would make the bog worth $6O.

Church in this place, on Sunday morning last— After the sermon he detailed, very briefly, the sufferings of the people in that country for want of the necessaries of life and clothing. The crops in that country the past season were a total failure, as an evidence of which ho stated that be planted ten acres of corn and gathered just three ears of corn therefrom, and twelve bushels of potatoes put in the ground last spring yielded him one peck this fall, ranging Jn size from a walnut to a pea. He had lately received a letter from home, stating that sixty children had attended Sunday Scho >1 in histown, through snow eight inches deep, without shoes or stock ings. A collection was taken up to help bis suffering neighbors and a bundle containing nu merous articles of clothing was given him on Monday. The Sleighing. —The fall of snow we had on Friday night and Saturday lost, brought out the cutters, fast nags and fast young men, but the pleasure was none of the smoothest. The snow was too light and the runners of cutters and Other crofts found their way through to the fro zen ground, and made almost as much noise as a stage coach. The b’hoys had quite a time of it, on Saturday night, coasting down the hill on Julia street. No accident occurred to any one except our senior d ■l, (now a graduate) who came nigh .having his “outsides stove in” by being struck in the small of the back with a plank, loaded with half-a-dozen boys, while he was endeavoring to recover his equilibrium af ter having been “ spilled” from a proceeding craft r Good Wiil Hop.—The Second Grand Annual Ball of the Good Will Fire Engine and Hose Company, of this place, given for the benefit of the Comp'any, comes off at Logan Hall, on Fri day evening of next week, 21st inst., and pro mises to be one of the most recherche affairs of this kind ever gotten up in this neighborhood. The Hall is admirably suited for such enter tainments, and the list of managers of the Ball is a sufficient guarantee that it will be well con ducted, and that those who attend will be treat ed in the best manner. We hope the Good Will boys may realize handsomely therefrom. The Altoona P. 0. — There are now quite a number of aspirants for the position held by onr worthy townsman, Mr. Shoemaker. Al though none of them wonld be guilty of charg ing him with doing anything wrong, neverthe less they would like amazingly well to get into his situation, and, since a change in the general government will take place on the 4th of March next, it is altogether likely that some one of them will get it, though who the lucky individu al will be we would not pretend to insinuate.— Any one of those who are applicants would make a good officer, consequently we particularly favor none of them.. MR- Christmas is coming—everybody knows that, but everybody don’t know that his or her turkey for that occasion is coming. We believe we have not yet passed the holidays, since our advent in Altoona, without this necessary re quisite to the proper observance thereof, and if we go turkey less this time, we must attribute it to the suspensions now prevalent, whereby oar turkey was suspended before we received it. But we are not without hope. The attention of our readers is directed ta the advertisement of the new firm of Dill & lekes, recently started in East Altoona.; They have just received a large stock of .new goods. Suited to the season, which they promise to sell at small profit, for cash, or to prompt monthly customers.

In our opinion it possesses all the mer its of Arnold’s Fluid, and makes tfce best record ink. It can be hud at Fettinger’s Literary Em porium, in bottles from ten cents up to seventy five cents.
