THE AUSTIN PAPERS 911 strance, which must include the idea of submission on conditions of red1·ess, and contain the request of the people to govt. to grant a mitigation and redress of grivances-and at the same time that there should be going forward a solm ancl firm determination of the same people to form a separate government ancl remedy the evil·~ol which they complain,-and without any intention of turn- ing back, or giving up that determination. Such I understand to be the actual state of things. The Central Comt. have ordered a positi \'e nncl unconditional call of a convention. The people with ,vhom you have been in com.mm1ication have remonstrated, and expect the same thing to be performed by the people and Authori- ties of the whole country. Should what is complained of be listened to, and ncted upon favourably by the present state Go[vt] how will we stund, or how will we proceed? I hope you, and all of us will not be unable to solve the dilemma, when it presses itself upon us. But at pr~sent it has not a very seemly, or very sincere appearance. Let us make the good of our country our motto, and our highest • maxim. · ·• ••• • I shall be glad to hear ·from you, which I should at any rate ex- pect, ns soon as you return. I look for Grayson every day, having lately heard from him, and with him I expect my brother, etc. TLeir lnnd aft'airs too, I hope yoti will not forget. D w ANTHONY. [Addressed] Col. Steven F.
