State Treasurer.— Among tie names men
tioned in connection with this office,—we might
say almost the only one—is that of Hon. Henry
D. Moore, of Philadelphia, and since we have
understood that Wm. M. Lloyd, Esq., our clever
banker in this, place, is not a candidate for that
position, we know of no one whom we weald
rather see successful than the gentleman first
named; He is a gentleman of high standing
for integrity, having; filled numerous offices of
'.trust* is a ripe scholar, and hashed much-ex
perience which would qualify him'for’the office
named. HC has Served bis party as faithfully
as any man in it and certainly deserves well at
'. the bands of his party friends. His nomination
ijysf unamimous .vote, in the People’s Party
caucus, is generally conceded.
|QT We might say a great deal on the state
of the Union, at the present time, dint we are of
the opinion that too much has already been said.
That South Carolina wiH secede is now a fixed
fact. At. the Convention which meets in Charles
ton, on Wednesday next, she will formally de
clare herself out of the Union, bat whether she
will get out thus easily, remains to be seen.—
The time for talk, at Washington, has passed
and the time for action arrived, and we most
have good news or bad news ere long. We be
lieve that the Union can not and will not be dis
solved.

thatwe know, and be has the ability to discharge

ture together • Mr. Stewart, memberof' the
Legislature of Texas from Gonsales, ha* issued
a circular at accordance with reeoloitone of
meetings held in that place, inTiting thcf-mem
ben of the legislature to be in .Austin ;on the
third Monday in December, for the porpoae of
holding an extra Anion, and to take the ne
cessary steps for calling a State Convention.
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

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.

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
