security to an army He that will not submit to it
when corrected and improved by the experience of
ages does not deserve the proud appellaton of sol

Our single star incuca,es unity of actsn, wheit

Union achieve every thing, when sustained by
gallant hearts and correct prlnclpes-whle anarchy
and INSTRUMENTATION most fail in the achievement of
every thing beneficial and glorious TO mankind.
Assurances have recently reached me that foul
and blasted assassination had occurred within the
camp of our army. II was afelon deed. 1t was no
soldier by whom il was perperaed. Ii was mis-
creant. Should the avenger OF blood not overtake
him upon earth, and not award him the ignominy and
punishment due to him for his crime, he can find
refuge from conscious guilt. A gallant officer has
fallen whose breast would have been proudly barred TO
an enemy, and one who suffered for his country's
coed the incarceration of dungeon.
Comrades! Texas has never forgotten that you
are her adopted sons. Your rights have never been
cons promised by any act Of hers Evil disposed per-
sons may have sought TO produce momentary excite
ment with you, and against the hardy pioneers Of
Texas wilds!
They may have sought momentary advantage,
not regarding the fatal consequences to national go
~. DlsnIst is unworthy Of you. You have suffered
privatons and experienced many wants; our country
was poor. Had she abounded in means, she would
have sought no foreign aid. The very solicitation be-
spoke her necessities Every want Of the army has
claimed her peculiar soicltude. Her constant exer-
tons have been TO procure comforts and necessares
for the army. No exertion on her part has been
wanting. Liberal appropriations have been made for
supplies for the army The prospects for our country
are now Frightening. The expectations OF speedy
pence or glorious campaign is anticipated.
The soldiers Of Texas must share in the benefits OF
the one, participate in the glory Of the other. In
either event they will proudly sustain themselves.
Texas in her suferings and her glory has been in
fuenced by but one cling The immortal patriots
who persisted at the Alamo-the gallant spirits who
fell al Golad-and the soldiers who conquered at San
Jacno were inspired by the sacred love Of country
and animated by the holy impulses which arse from
love of constitutional liberty.
Those who expect the admiration of mankind and
the applause of after ages never fail 10 cherish
feeling SO congeRial 10 the descendants OF those who
struggled in the immortal revolution Of 70 Let such
feeling anmates the army of Texas, and their fame
