ter, H. w. Campbell, r. Scott, and p. Lea The

submitted the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted
l. Rssolred, That the righful jurisdiction Of
this State extends to the Rio Grandc; and the
exercise of such jurisdiction cannot be aban-
doned over any part of our territory, except by
fair contract, or by absolute compusion.,
2 Resolved, That the recent resistance Of
that right in Santa Fe county, is insurrectionary,
and demands the most prompt and efficient
measures for its suppression.
g. ResOired, That the continuance of military
government in that part of the State, since the
peace with Mexico, by authority Of the Exccu-
tive branch of the Federal Government, is an
unconstitutional aggression on the State rights
of Texas; and that the recent interference Of
certain officers of the General Government, is an
lggravaton Of the wrong.
| 1. ReS0lred, That the persons who have thus
ntcrfcred, should not be regarded as represent
ing the General Government or any branch Of
| it: and they should be treated rs aggressors on
their own individual responsibilities respectively;
and it is not for Texas to presume that their
conduct will be approved by the Government or
people of the Union.
g. ResOlred, That the General Government
should be called on for immediate aid to sup
press the insurrection but this State, without
waiting for such aid, should lose no time in pre-
pairing for any emergency, and in asserting prac-
tcally her jurisdiction to the extent OF her con-
ventional limits
6. Res;lred, That this State should deprccate
collision with any part Of her own citizens or
with others; but that no consideration OF defer
ence or danger should cause any hesitation III
| thus asserting unqucstionable right against
all opposers, whether Americans Mexicans, or
Indians with determination that when thus
berun, the work should be thoroughly finished,
unless some superior physical force should COM
pei us to desist And we should realize that
the struggle would be for the essential princi-
pies of American liberty, not to be compromised
without disgrace, nor surrendered without ne
cessity.
