his conduct during the tendency of the
negotiations relative TO annexation, and
recommending the Convention t" TO esiab.
lish a government adj interim until the
Constitution should 90 into effect"
Resolred By the House of Representa-.
tires, That the course of the Executive in
relation to the question of Annexation.
has been unpatriotic and unwise, attempt.
ing to thwart the people in their well
known wish TO re-unite themselves TO the
great political family of the United States.
and throw them ahoat again upon the trou-
bed sea OF separate existence, to be the
sport OF policy hostile 10 Liberty in both
hemispheres; and that he may not be ena.
bled to throw further obstacles in the wav
OF this great measure, and ultimately eff.
feet its defeat, we recommend to the Con.
vention of the people of Texas to estab-
iIsh a government al interim, until the
Constitution of the State of Texas shall
90 into effect, as being the most certain,
efiectual and economical mode of secur.
ing our annexation to the United States. y
