I wish you to show this letter to my friends and make such use of it as you think best for the attainment of the object which is harmony and union between all parts of the State and union in sustaining the measures of the President as to the new elections S. F. AUSTIN [Rubric] All is going well. The President Genl. Santana has solemnly and offi- cially declared that he will sustain the federal republican system as estab- lished by the constitution of 1824 and all parties will unite to support him in this measure.

These are the opinions of your fellow citizen
