MEMBERS OF THE TEXAN CONVENTION.
The Galveston News gives the birthplace
of the members of the Convention now sit
ting at Austin, sixty one in all. From this
it would seem that eighteen are natives of
Tennessee, eight of Virginia, seven Of
Georgia, six of Kentucky, four of North
Carolina, four of South Carolina, two Of
Massachusetts, two of Maine, two of Lou
isiana, two of Pennsylvania, one of Ohio,
one of Alabama, one Of New York. one of
Ireland, and one of England. By this it
will be seen that Tennessee is well rep
resented, having more than double the
number of members Of any other State in
the Union. Only one is a native of Texas,
Jose Antonio Navarro of Bexar, the same
who was so long confined in the Mexican
prisons. He was signer of the original
Texan declaration of independence, and
was at the same time a Senator in the Mex
can Congress from the States Of Coahuila
and Texas.
