THE AUSTIN PAPERS
GENERAL Cos TO COLONEL UcARTECHEA
[Matamoras, August 15. Ordering the arrest of Zavala.]
CALL FOR A CONVENTION OF ALL TEXAS
[Resolutions of a meeting held at Columbia, August 15, 1835, are here omitted. They were printed in Publications of the Southern History Association, VII, 200-201 (May, 1903). The resolutions were circulated in a broadside, followed by the following document.]: In addition lo the above resolutions recommending a consultation we publish the names of those who signed a paper some of whom were unable to attend the meeting. This clearly evinces a great unanimity in the jurisdiction of Columbia. We whose names are hereunto subscribed are of opinion that a conven- tion of the people of Texas is best calculated to quiet the present.excitement, and to promote the general interest of Texas; we acknowledge the doctrine of "THE RIGHT OF INSTRUCTION," and we therefore recommend to our fellow-citizens, the call of a CONVENTION, and we further recom- mend that the delegates to said convention be instructed, so that no party may rule, and that the people be fairly represented. Brazoria, Aug. 9, 1835.
