 1t Is more than whispered in this vicinity that Major Eaton entertains decided pre- fefence (on fixed and decided anti Bank principle for MT. Muhlenberg, as the next Governor of this State;. yet it is due to Ma jor Eaton to state that he does not pragma- tically interfere in our local disputes, or os- tentatously parade his opinions-yet, as he hos on opinion, il is but just that that opin- ion should be known. We say then, dis tinctly, that 1t is the wish of Major Eaton, as the friend of General Jackson, and as a Jackson anti Bank politician, that Mir. Muhlenberg may be elected the next Goy- efnor Of Pennsylvania.

 By the Red river Herald of the 18th inst, we have received some further news from Texas. It contains several official docu- ments. of which we make brief abstract.- The first in order is an address Of the Gefe Poiaico, or Governor of the Nacogdoches District, to it's inhabitants. He states that rapid changes are taking place in the charac- ter and form of the General Government, and that means of a hostile and violent eharac- ter have been resorted to for the purpose of exacting obedience to these changes. Large bodies of troops are within the limits of the State {of Texas.) The Governor, and some of the Representatives, were seized and im- prisoned by the military commanders. He recommends to the citizens to organise them  selves, and be ready for action. He says that the only allegiance owed by the Ameri- cans, is to tte Consultation, and that so long as the Constitution Is the rule of action, they should submit-but should still be prepared to defend their rights and liberties to the ut- most extremity. He has issued orders to all the Ayuntamientos to organise the militia forthwith. Signed, God aud Liberty II. RUEG.

 Then follows the declaration 1.-the Illustri- oas Ayuntamiento of the town of Metamo- rass This precious document, just worthy of such an assemblage of dolts, is signed by eightor ten Mexicans. It ascribes all the evils of the country to the Federal Constitu- tion. It states that

 "The public Treasury Is in the last stage of decay, and the General Government is under the absolute necessity to satisfy cer- ta3n urgencies every day. which requires funds; the number in accumulation of Laws and Deerees passed and adopted by the different States. have made labyrinth by which the transaction of business has been so fnach involved that the Administration of Justice has been entirely stopped in it's 

 And 1t concludes as follows

 "Gendemen, a single labom of safety Is leR to us for shelter from the menacing storm and by that means avert the public calamiiies which threaten us; that Is 10 throw the destiny of the Great Mexican nation into the unsoiied hands of the is6er- ator of lis eoantrys the sH1strious yanquish- CT of Tampico, ile s'Immortai SANTA ANA| and transmit through bis respecta- ble organ to the general sovereign Congress the following Articles which l submit 10 the delibefation of your iustrious Body.

 ART. 1. The Mexican nation shall adopt for ifs Government, the form of Represen- tatiye popular central Republic.

 ARr. 2. The actual Sovereign Congress shall be declared constituent and shall frame the new code of Law by which we shall be governed, which code shall be cho- sen by the nation.

 ART. 8. His Excellency the general Llberator Citizen Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana shall be reelected first magistrate of the Republic, who as soon as instated m his office will condescend to dictate such means for the maintenance of public order as he may deem the most conyenient.o

 Next comes bombastc document from JN. A. WrhhrAms, Alcalde of Liberty. lie thinks the change ef Government all right, ahd advises his countrynen to stay where they are. His address is only valuable be- cause it informs us that the project of the San Felipeans IS 'sto capture San Antonio, to make treaties with the Indians, to send orces and rescue the Governor, and in fine, Q declare war against Mexico.'

 We say, God speed them! Texas has en- cred her veto against the proceedings of the Ayuntamiento of Metamoras--and are deter- mined to make war against the apost4ts and syrant Santa Anta. That man, who posses ses all the ambition of Napoleon without a part of his greatness. has at length attained tie object for which he has been stri- l
