will hand you this aud pay YOU in advance for mm-

be may elect AT the same time will add ie"
sketches Of the feelings as they exist in the Country
al this time
Our Convention i still IN session. Since we have
been annexed a second thought has sprung up with
many. and if the rash act were not already done
many would be found now who would oppose
most violently The fact j. the subject was pushed
so hard upon the people of Texas after it passed
your Congress that the people have had no time 20
think upon and discuss the matter. and they went
into II hcadi0ng and now many are -orry Tor what
they have done They see that Kentucky Mary
and and Virginia viii very soon show indications
that ihey are nearly ripe for the emancipation % their
slaves and that soon a. this = clearly seen by
the large slave holders in those states. they the
slave holders will very crowd their slaves 10
Texas and by this means the Country viii become
too densely peoped with slaves. and. In conse-
luence. make Texas unsafe a residence as -
Domingo once was.
The prospects for a good Corn and Cotton crop
were never better up % two weeks ago since when
the country has suffered little from drouth. There
j. about one third more land put into cultivation
than ever before
There are great many strangers newly made
their appearance in the country, TO locate the un0
Gated good lands of the country Many OF the old ciii
zeus are also busy putting their old claims INTO
ship shape many o., HON own immense tracts of
hundreds u thousands OF acres 0fthe very best lands
.n the Republic and unless the United states
tends her boundaries farther than ever Texas
claimed and by such means get new acquisition
0f Territory more ihan heretofore claimed that very
little land viii be left for future legislation TINS
seems 20 be the policy however that your Govern
ueni intends To pursue. u We can Judge rom NE
movement. of the United States army. The Polni
eal elements are becoming a little excited on
viii CLEAN from our papers or from the New Orleans
papers what has been the movements IN our Con
.cnton, and 10 which please refer when they reach
your hands The subject OF what shall be the ia.
'ure policy Of the country upon the disposition OF
the Public Lands will likely create more excite.
meut than any other.
The oldest most intelligent and most influential
men OF the country are in favor of something like
the following views. VIZ. To open General Land
Office and Branches and let the lands be entered at
a fixed price as ia the niled States nothing re-
-eivabe for them but gold and silver; and leave The
Public Debt open for future legislation from time to
time. They think that the debts OF Texas that were
created before the independence of the country was
declared 80 far as they can ascertain. VIII not oN
coed a million of dollars that IN every case where
the debts are still in first hands. the Government
should pay them but they feel very much inclined
treat with indifference all other classes Of abili
ties and say that the public lands had better be con
ycried 10 the of Internal Improvement and Edu-
caiional purposes than to build up monopolles OF
few Nirginian-, relations OF the late President
Who. il is rumored own about Five Millions of the
Debt Of Texas. and who only paid for them from
two to five cents to the dollar
Try few OF the liabilities of Texas are held IN tins
country. and am astonshed that any one should
imagine for a moment that Texas will not protect
herself first with regard 10 the disposition OF her
assets.
Therefore / should not be surprised if a very
different disposition was 10 be made Of the lands of
Texas than that expected and so much desired by
the large Bond and Treasury Note holders of man,
parts OF your country | think that the leading poll
cy of the country will be Internal Improvement and
Public schools No country needs SO much Inter
nal Improvement as Texas and | should not be sur
pri-ed if we were to become enthusiastic upon
these subjects as upon Annexation. If you think
the above hasty sketches worth using, do So
Yours, very truly, TEAAN
