In the cattle-runs we are rather wild; knowing hardly any ministers of justice save the hatchet and revolver. But remember where the cattle-runs lie: within an easy ride of Kickapoo tents. The cotton-yards are better than the cattle-runs; the Negro being less brutal, if more vicious, than the Kickapoo. I cannot say that in Texas a fellow thinks it wrong to kill his creditor, his wife's seducer, and his tipsy comrade. It will be long ere Austin and Indianola are as tame as Norwich and Yarmouth, but the Anglo-Saxon blood is there, with all its staying power. A few English ladies would assist the progress of refining much. A lady never feels her sceptre till she finds herself the empress of some frontier State. At Dallas, a gentleman from Missouri is good enough to offer me a fine estate, if I will only take it off his hands.

X.} 1756. him a totally negative answer. The great obstacles, says Hardwicke, were the Duke of Newcastle and hiere was nothing alleged against him but conducting the war according to the king's own desire; so that he himself was about to become a victim to his loyalty. Newcastle to Hardwicke, 20 Oct. 1756. But Pitt, who had never before waited upon Lady Yarmouth, now counterworked the duke by making a Long visit to the king's mistress. The duke attempted to enlist Egremont, offered power to Granville, and at last, having still an undoubted majority in the House of Commons, the great leader of the Wh
