TO THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS.
FELLOW-CITIZE S,-The.undersigned, a member of the General Council of Texas, acknowledging the principle that all sovereignty of right exists in the people, and recognizing to the fullest extent the right of instruction ; and believing that the political opinions of every publfo man should be well understood, in order that the people may l1ave an opportunity of selecting those as their agents, v.'hose opinions coincide with their own, has thought proper to publish the following as his political creed. The usurpations of the aristocratic party .Mexico have placed you in a situation which you so practically understand, that any allusion to them is unnecessary. You have just returned to your homes flushed with victory, and all Texas is in joy on account of the splen- did triumph of the principles of th~ Constitution over those of tyranny and despotism: you have nobly established in this, the coun- try of your adoption, the principles of your patriot fathers of 1776, and have thus far observed your .obligations to support the epubli- 'Printed handbill.
