I'oli has communicated the following fnjmIiis government to the State department:The Spanish government contradicts the re-port of any hostile demonstrations againsttho American Minister, and says that Gen.Sickles is treated with consideration andrespect; that some intemperate laxijuageof the monarchial press was promptlyeilenced by the threat of immediate punish-ment, and that the Minister of the Colonicsreports, from Havana, that tho restorationof embargoed goods to American citizensis being dtligcntly proceeded with. .

Wabuixotox, Xovcml)cr 2o. The firtintimation yesterday of a probable changeof administration in Spain, with Serrano asdictator, came through British officialsources. To-da- y tho story is varied inanother quarter, namely, that ' Castelar'sgovernment is to be overthrown by a combi-nation of ruling Spaniards. The plan i3said to include the establishment of Mar-shal Serrano as llegcnt for young Duke Al-fonso. . .

Our government has no official advices onthe subject, nor does it consider the reporttrustworthy. . , . .

'YVAsiiixaTox, Xovcmlter 2 j. The Presi-dent has appointed E. 11.' Bagwell, of Vir-ginia, a commissioner substitute to the cen-tennial anniversary.

Secretary llobesou left Washington lastnight for Philadelphia, on business con-nected with fitting out vessels. It is 6aidby tho bureau otliccrs at the Navy Depart-ment that so far from orders being issuedfor the suspension of such work ns. they areengaged on, they are hurrying the preparations to completion, i

Tbe President has stoned the naturalization treaty .between tho United States andEurope. . i .. '

V AfirtNuTox, INovcuiuer 2j. There wttsa Cabinet session of two hours duration to'day. All were present exeqit SecretaryKobcson, who is in Philadelphia. The Vir-gini-

affair, only, received, consideration.Ioncw facts were presented by tho Sec-

retary of State, nor ws any new actiontaken relative to the subject. Nothing hasoccurred eince the capture of the Virginius,and tho executions which followed, to show,that the Spanish government is influencedby any but a friendly desire to preserve peaeebetween tho two nations, and, if possihlejCultivate stronger relations of friendship.This government will act toward Spain asall other countries, in cases of controversy,!and await, with a proper respect, .'replies, toour complaints. 1 There is, however, anxietyexpressed for intclligenco from Spain of adecisive character, in order that Congressmay, in the President's message, be madeacquainted with all the facts. .

;Tbcrc are indications tbatdisputchcs werereceived' to-nig-ht by both Secretary Fishand Admiral Poli, the Spanish Ministerfrom Madrid, of a character which gives amore peaceful solution of the present com-- 1

plication, aud it is known that these gen-tlemen were in private conference for sev-eral hours to-nig- ht, at the residence of Mr.-Fish- ,

comparing 'dispatches and discussinggenerally the situation of 'affairs. It seemsto "be the impression that instead of ourjgovernment having .to wait fof reports fromjMinister Sickles concerning the SpanishCabinet's views, tho Spanish Cabinet hasconferred cxtiaoruinary powers-o- n AdmiralPoli to communicate directly with our gov-ernment through the Secretary of State.'.

t all events, tho Spanish Minisfer is nowbrought into more intimate .communicationwith Secretary Fish than at any timo sincothe present troubles began, -- s ! "

PLlTfOltn OK TI1K DE'lOt ItATIt'PARTY OF TEXAS.

We, the iX'tnocracy of Texas, in Convention relyirg on the virtue andintelligence of th? pe (lc, hgnin declare ourrrinciples and poller, an 1 h-- f r them thepopular approval. And

1. e declare oi:r auat-.io- to ie ume--honoredpriacii-lo- s of the Deiuocratic party;our devotion to popular liberty regulatedby law ; and to Constitutional governmentsimple in machiaery, and to be be admin-istered with the strictest economy.

IL V.'e congratulate the people of Trx--

on the repeal bv th-- . Thirteenth Legliial aoof a number ol the opi,"s.siye, odious andunconstitutional nctjai-icati-y tlie lwclititLegislature, in jiursfiar.ee, of tie Radical policy to overthrow the givcrnnH'nt of thopeople, and among which acts were:

I.- - l lie Jlilitia Law, wiiercor tnc Governor was authorizcil to susicud the writ ofluibeaa arput and establish, martial law,thereby .depriving the citizens-o- all legaland constitutional protection, and subject-ing their lives, liberty and property to thounrestrained caprice and malignity of npartisan Executive.

z. lncroliccliiii, uesigueetar..! intcnteti,among other things, to create u system ofsecret espionage, by hired informers, uponthe people ; at war with- - tuc principles olcivil liberty ; odious to' all freemen, andheretofore tolerated oniv in the despotismof the old world, anil the execution ofw hich act was for the most part entrusted toa clas3 of men of degraded and infamouscharacter. -

a. The Enabling Act, under, which theGovernor was authorized to appoint districtattornevs who were made clectivo by theConstitution ; to appoint all municipal offi-

cers, and to fill all vacuncics tl.at u:ightoccur in the offices of .clerks and sheriffs,thereby designedly bestowing on him greatpower and patronage, to enable him to con-

tinue Radical misrule over this people.4. The registration nnd election laws,

which, were framed and intended for thepurpose of preventing" free and fair elec-

tions; they openly encouraged the perpe-tration of frauds to defeat the will of thepeople, and to perpetuate Radical misrule,presenting to our people tho extraordinarynnd humiliating spectacle of surroundingthe places of registration and voting withan armed partisan polico with which to in-

timidate and overawe the citizens'.5. Tho act relating to public free schools,

which, among many other bad features,provided tho means of enabling public offi-

cials to speculate in school books, in thebuilding and furniture of school houses, inthe salaries of teachers, and furnished highsalaries for a large and useless number ofofficers, which gave the Radical party thomeans to pay their political missionarieswho traveled for radical purposes and frauds,from one end of tho State to tho other.

III. And we further consrratulato tho people of Texas that the Democratic membersof tho Thirteenth Legislature, so, iar as itwas possible to accomplish their object, inpresence of the captious vetoes of the Gov-ernor, and the opposition of his partisans inthe --Senate, replaced the foregoing obnox-ious, repealed measures, by just and whole-some laws, bearing alike on all, and whichif honestly and faithfully executed, will re-

dound to the lasting good of the countryand prosperity of tho people.

IV. The Democratic party, . when itcomes into tho possession of the governmentof tho State, will administer it in tho inter-est and for the benefit of the whole people,and not of a party; and, however much wcmay have been provoked to hostile and re

legislation, by the outrages com- -taliatory.... , . T T . 1 , X 1 .mittcu on us iy inc nauicai legislatureand State government, it will he a part ofour, great mission to rise superior 'to, ourjust resentments and administer.: the gov.crnmcnt in such manner mat every citizen,whatever his politics, religion, nationalityor color, shall feel that ho is securely protected in his life, liberty and property.

V. The school fund, sacredly set apartfor the education of the" cjiildrcn of theState, has, under the operation of tho mis- -

iule of the party in power, been plunderedby peculation, squandered and pervertedto political purposes. uio avmoviutioparty, through us, reaffirms its past opinion and the policy it has ever pursued, thatit is tho Louuden duty ol tnc btato tomaintain an efficient system of free commonschools, and secure the means of a com-

mon education to every child in the State ;

and. wc advocate the gradual sale of; thealternate sections of land belonging to thecommon school fund ; as also of the asylumand university lands;' under such rcstricTtions as will secure the funds arising there-from to the purposes for which they wereintended, and giving in such sales properpreferences to actual scttlo.a in good faiththereon.

VI. It was the Democratic party whichfirst inaugurated the wise and generous pol-

icy which has made the United States theasylum of all nations from oppressive gov-ernment and less favorable means of liveli-hood and independence; and the Democrat-ic party of Texas, true to the early tcachingfeand uniform practices of the party, advo-cates the most liberal and active policy toencourage and increase foreign immigration,to develop the resources, of our fertile State,aswcll as to perpetuate the government,through the intelligence and moral worthof her citizens. And that every adoptedcitizen may enter into the spirit of perfectfreedom of thought and action in mattersof conscience, the Democracy of Texas inConvention assembled, declare it to bo ourfirm conviction that legal interference" withthe merely social habits of any class of citi-

zens, natives or of foreign birth, is contraryto sound policy, to genuine Democracy, andto the enlightened spirit of tho age.. . .

- -

VII. The Democratic party is and has.ever been in favor of throwing as few im-

pediments as possible in the way of Euro-peans making the United States tho land oftheir adoption; and to enable foreigners toenter into citizensliip without needless trou-ble, delay or cxpcnsc.we declare it to beour conviction that a foreigner who desiresit should have the right to ir.akc his declara-tion of intention to become a citizen beforethe clerk, in vacation cr in open court, asmay be to him most convenient; and wc fa-r- or

the passage of a law to that effect.VIII. Wc condemn in the strongest

terms all corruption in public officials, anddemand the strictest honesty and economyin tho administration of public trusts, fromthe highest totlie lowest oluccr of the gov-ernment.

LX. That the Democracy of Trias' adhcrdto their past policy of developing the mate-rial resources of the State, and fostering thebest interests of tho people, by encouragingthe construction ol railroads. That to isend, and to encourage the investment ofcapital, in snch enterprises, we favor thegranting of liberal charters to companiesabletft build such railroads, and of donatingto such companies alternate sections of thevacant lands, under proper restriction?, andwith such provisions of law as will protecttho pocple against oppression and unreason-able exactions, until each' section of thoStato has its equal proportion of railroadfacilities. .;

2. That wc are opposed to grantingmoney subsidies by the fc:atc to secure thobuildicj cf railroads, as. unequal in-th-

Gistnuuunn ot burdens nr.d l:nrtt. andcrjuit in rniciple.

3. This convection denounces falrcaud slanderous the imputation, son cut to beattached to the State of Texas by hi r xnc-rnic- i,

that khe contemplates the repudiationcf any or her s- -. 1 !"g--J lhliliiies.

Adopted unanimously.r -

Tltc Iiuiortaure or Thl Cmil;u.We ''sometimes,', thank heaven not fre-

quently, hear Democrats speaking ofscratching their tickets. Such Democratscannot understand the issues involved intlie campaign', nor the relation in whichthey stand to the party at large. Radicalsalways vote a solid - ticket., They neverscratch.- - If their convention had nominatedold Cloven foot himself, they would votefor him at- hoof, tail and all. Theystick to the regular nominations with a zealworthy of a much better cause than anythey have to boast of. We arc not sure butthat this commendable trait. We know itwould be if thc tickets they nominate werehalf-wa- y decent, which they seldom are.

Tlie Democratic party has nominated aticket which no man can gainsay. There isnot a name on it w hich does not commandthe respect of the community, , There is noexcuse whatever for erasing a single name,nor will any good Democrat do so. On thecontrary, be will vote solid, and pcrsuadohis friends to do the same, for all issues ofthis campaign are of transcendent impor-tance. , Our Statq and our county have longboen under the baneful. influence of Radicalmisrule. Our State credit, which ought tobe tho best, is the very worst. Davis hasfrom the first, boon a. financial . IMarplot.Our State paper is disgraced, when it shouldbe "gilt edged.'

That meaus,' when placed over an articlein a newspaper, that said article is a jmhlfor publication. We find in the GalvestonDrdy xeie of Nevcmbcr 14, one of thesearticles of considerably over a page of thatlarge sheet, dedicated to Governor 13.

'AtncHdmrnt to the CoiWItiitlon.

We republished in this 'issue,- - witliout

compensation, though the law requires it tobo published by the State in all the publicjournals, the Governor's proclamation, rela-tive to amendments 'to the Constitution.There is a portion of this' bo very importantto the interests of the people the recon-struction cf the Supreme' Court that wewould invite the attention of the tieoplc toit, and suggest to all onr'cotcmporarieswhowill print the tickets, the importance ofnoting that this shall not be overlooked.By ;all means, 'adopt. the amendments.Then, if the nfext Legislature provides for aConstitutional Convention, no harm willhave been done : and if it does hot, a greatgoou win nave ueen accorrpusnea as soonas practicable. Look to it, brethren. Seethat the amendments are " sustained, andprint upon : all your tickets, '"For theamendments to the State Constitution." andsee that the attention of the judges of elec-tion is called to strict compliance with thelormula ol the returns. Standard.

We too have been publishing the Govern-or's proclamation from the time it appearedwithout compensation. h W'c. do so becauseof the great importance of this matter. Thopresent Constitution is sodefective in manyrespects, and so obnoxious in ' many of itsprorisions, that wc can never have satisfac-tory legislation under it. And there is nocomplete remedy for this great fundamentalevil, but a Constitution Convention. Thatwould blot out. an incompetent judiciaryfrom bottsni to top, aud entible tlie peoplethrough their, delegates to mako a simpleand satisfactory Convention. -

For these and othtfr reasons wc have nottime now to stale, w e as a mcmler of theThirteenth Legislature favored , a Constitu-tional Convention,' on . every part ef theground. But failing in this as a member ofthe Senate "Coram ft tec on ConstitutionalAmoudnicuis, we took an active part in pre- -

Caringand subnrjttiEgUic' amendments nowpeople; every one of which is of

the most vital importance. There w ere &lsoother important 'amendments proposed,which did not pass tbe --Legislature. Butthose that did pass ere of. the greatest prac-tical importance, and should, by a'.L meansbe adopted or.ratiued by the people.. Theamendment to Miction twenty, of articleone, introduc ed by oursclf, if adopted, willlc of incalculable value to the people of theState, as it takes from tho Legu-Iatur- thepower of delegating its authority, and prevents an v recurrence of martial law, orpension of the civil authorities. fXff bvact oi tho Lcg!;l2tTirc.
