LAMAR, [HOUSTO~] General, Persons opposced to your election have, for some time passed, been besieging us with their ridiculous efforts to make us deviate from the course we have freely chosen to follow. They leave no means untried to turn us from your support. Sometimes, it is our parti.11.li.ty upon which they,ground their pretensions that we ought to publish communications containing offensive personalities against you; -sometimes, profiting by the difficult financial position in which they know we are placed, and measuring us at their own height, they offer us money. The conversation related in our next took place between Warren Brazoria, 12th June 1838.
