lootlng with the original States. provided that
Constitution sets up Republican form of
Government. am not ignorant that my
views and opinions i'm relation to the great
question for the annexation of Texas 10 the
United States, hive been a most prolific
source oi misrepresentation but am fully ,rc-
pared To prove that !. more than any other
man saved the measure from defeat at the
last session OF Congress. | shall set out for
Alabama i'll few weeks. with a view TO re-
main until tho meeting of the Legislature. as
am resolved to submit my whole course To
the impartial decision of the General Assem-
bly, OF the state of Alabama. and let them de
eide whether ], or my rcvilcrs have been
most at fault Indeed. cannot resist The con
clusIon that The persecution directed against
me in regard to this question, forms one OF
the most remarkable cas- IS in the history of
public men, | voted in favor of The measure
IN every form in which it was presented, upon
which vote was taken: defended the GOV
eminent and people of Texas against the cal
unny, that unless they were admitted OH their
own terms, and at their own time, they would
transfer themselves To England; and finally
saved the measure of annexation, when nv
vote would have defeated it. But will not
trouble you further at present, as shall fur
nsh you, well as the other members of
the General Assembly, with AN opportunity
OF passing impartial and enlightened juIg-
mcnt upon the whole case, from an cxamina-
lion OF the facts and circumstances.
