Mexican Nation has solemnly guaranteed to us? No, it can not be believed. The free Mexicans are not unjust, and they will take part in our favor. 8. To arms, then, patriotic Mexicans! The Tcxians although a young people, invite and call you lo the contest, which it is the duty of all to sustain, against the perjured Centralists; separate, as we have done, from the Central Government, and declare eternal war against it; let us sustain the federal compact-restore the federal system, and firmly establish the liberties and happiness of our country. In this great work you will receive aid and assistance from Tcxians, so far as their limited resources will permit, as they have offered in the Second Article of their ..Declaration." James W.
