Shreve, Humphrey Marshall, Elisha Warfield, Thomas F. Marshall, Capt. John Shalcross, Isaac Stewart, Charles M. Thruston, and S. S. Nicholas, have generously consented to act as a Committee of Correspondence and arrangements, for raising means and promoting the cause of Texas.

We offer lo the enterprising who would improve their conditions and provide for their families, wealth and homes in the most fertile and lovely country in the world: to the youthful and daring who thirst for fame and glory, we open a field wide as their ambition, where they may realize their brightest hopes and visions; and to the lover of Liberty and the philanthropist, we present a cause, just, holy and universal, in which he may give exercise and action Lo the noblest sentiments of patriotism.
