will manufacture and use all the tobacco he NAV
cultivate, and that he may find market for allhis
Texas interest, whether in scrip cotton. To
diddle the boys down east, promise incidental
protection, term used before, but which neither
understand nor explain. -...-
Each state is sovereign power. They DO as
they please and the United States protect them in
what ever they do. They borrow money and re-
pudiate, and their enemies who lend them money,
dare not say "pay" The Texans are in debt and
cannot pay, at war, and do not like to fight We,
the United States, spread the wing of the Ameri
can eagle over this " land of promise" and there
is an end of obligation Becoming part of this
country, they can follow example and repudiate.
TO promise is one thing, to pay is another thing.
The transatlantic half of the Anglo Saxon family
have set US an example of avarice and ambition.
They grasp at every thing within their reach and
power. The people of this country, this half of
the same family, following their bad example,,
shall spread their power the whole western
world--banishing the Indians until they be driven
into the Pacific, and staying line tide of foreign
immigration setting ia upon US from the old world.
An old man in this assembly recollects when
the United States were peoped with three millions
of inhabitants; now there are twenty Millions, and
your youthful orator hopes TO see many millions
more scattered and divided from pole to pole, fom
shore to shore, requiring half of the citizens be
soldiers to keep the rest in order.
Ours was intended to be frugal government
To pay for actual services requires but a very
small amount of money There are some men,
however, of large minds and large pockets, which
minds and pockets could only be satisfied by be-
/ ing filled with the peoples money, obtained in any
manner MANY millions of money have been ia
ken. and some of the criminals have been taken
and, altogether, it has been great take in, for
men who repudiate Indebtedness repudiate all OBJ
| legation TO punish rogues; they who care not for
reputation abroad, care not to be honest at home
The revenues large, national Indebtedness
very small, and there is abundance for all neces-
sary wants of the treasury but those who are not
satisfied with moderate things must follow :he
steps of their ustrious absquatulators.
| The prosperity of the country has been so great,
under even adverse circumstances that the war
debt of 1912 has been paid OFF 1t is earnestly
desired to involve this country in war with Mex
leo, and the other nations hostile to injustice and
oppression, and thereby involve this nation in an
other " bond of union," national debt.
The people of these states, who owe money
abroad, should not take upon themselves any trou-
BILE to pay when they cah do it with perfect con-
venience, it will be time enough. The bounda-
ries of the country are imaginary All the world
is ours, and being free and independent, we will
enlarge as we feel Inclined -
To borrow money and not pay,
Is styled Reputation:
To pirate land from Mexico,
\ Is nought but Annexation
Trusting that both houses of Congress will pay
due attention to the great infdel from England,
who proposes to lecture for the benefit of this ma
tion your orator bows, and retires to take nap.
