blood of Llie members of the Militia, and perhaps, that of the p,~oplc of this l\'11111icipaliLy who make common cause with them. l must also observe to your Lordship Lhat the civic Militia and Lhc residents depend exclusively on the authorities of Lhc Stale, and arc in no manner subject to Lhe orders of Lhc Military Officers, so long, at least, as the representative, popular and federal form of Government exists; and I am inclined to believe that by making such orders, the Commanding General has acted in violation of the prerogatives of the Stale. I reiterate to Your Lordship the assurance of my considera- tion and esteem, protesting that I am, and have always been clisposed Lo preserve the good harmony thal ought to prcveil, and has heretofore prevailed between us, provided \hat it be not at Lhe cost of the dignity of my office and public peace. Goel and Liberty. I3exar, May 16th, 1835, 10 o'clock P. M.
