rades, whose blood, ignobly shed, stains the
soil Of Texas? Might we not again have
heard, above the battles roar, the fierce cries
of "Goliad the Alamo mot as 10 Mexi-
cans, but to murderers w-until, as in the last
battle which the brave Texans fought, the car
mage was only to be ended by the officers of
the conquerors throwing themselves in body
between the avengers and their enemy2 Let
those who think we had anticipated too much,
too dreadful an issue, look back at San Jacinto,
and Judge for themselves.


But we rejoice that it is otherwise. We are
truly happy TO perceive that prudence, for
once, seems to have presided over and directed
the counsels of that unhappy, and, we had al
most said, devoted country; and equally hap
py would we be to see those internal wounds
from which she has SO long bled and suffered,
healed up, her disquietudes Gained, her great
resources, through mild, but firm and wise,
administration of good laws, fully developed,
her people elevated to the rank which belongs
to citizens of free republic, her prominent
and energetic, but designing leaders, curbed in
their wild ambition, and their abilities turned
into the path Of patriotism and usefulness:
then might we see our sister republic standing
high in the scale OF nations, duly respected
abroad, and respecting herself at home, and
worthy to stand side by side with the great
Power of the western world.


However, it is our duty, as it is, to look on
this unfortunate country "more in sorrow than
in anger" to draw veil over her weaknesses
and her folles, and to be the first to seek the
permanent establishment Of the friendly rela-
tions unfortunately too nearly sundered.
"Ours are the plans of fair delightful peace


Unwarped by angry strife, to live like brothers,
