In our paper of last week, we gave the


names of several eminent wings who had
publicly avowed themselves in favor OF


the immediate annexation OF Texas
Among them we mentioned General Ham
iton and Felix Huston. On this the Gre
ole expressed lis obligations 10 us for in
forming it, "that Gen'l Hamilton and
Gen'l Houston were whigs," and little
after it says: "we would inform him that
Sam Houston is good democrat" We
understood the Creole to contradict our
assertion that Felix Huston was whig,
and to into m US that he was democrat.
We believed that "through ignorance of
the" present, the editor had confounded
two persons OF similar names. We now
understand him 10 say: that Gen1 Ham
ilton and Felix Huston are citizens of
Texas, and are therefore not wings. The
Creole is fond of immateria issues
These men regard themselves as citizens
of the United States; they have the right
to vote here, and if they choose will ex.

ton was a whig in lS33--which we suppose
TO be the time he alludes to, when he says
"Calhoun, McDaffie &c.. were enrolled
members of the universal whig party
and points out no time when ne has chang
ed since. The editor of the Creole may
give as many reasons as he pieases why
he has no confidence in Hamilton or Hus-
ton, but as to denying they are wings,
certainly betrays as much "ignorance Of
the present." as he thinks we have shown
of the "past." The editor of the Creole
has a singular Observation-Disclosures
way of talking; he says che rccollects
WELL" but fears we have forgotten, when
"Gen' Hamilton was also whig." Ii is
strange that he should make this remark,
when in the article 10 which he replies,
we said that Hamilton had been aS.whig
since 1889. Our neighbor has peculiar
logic. He argues by inueado, and "with
bated breath, and whispering craftiness,"
insinuates conclusions.


He says we most awfully belubored poor
