doubt they did. that the talismanic name Of
democracy would un the American people
in support Of heresies as absurd as they are
dangerous to the well being OF the country.
BIT, my dear sir, Twill not attempt to 80 into
detail further. hope that Texas, when she
comes to the polls in November next. will
make united rally for the American ticket,
and that its triumph will be complete.
hope the friends Of our Union and true de-
mocratic principles will rally around the sem
timent of General Jackson, and show their
reverence for bis memory and great services
to the nation, expressed in his letter to DR..
Coleman, that it is time we should become a
little more Americanized." Since the day
on which this warning was given our country
has been progressing, and from developments
which have taken place, it seems to me that
the exigencies OF the country impress upon
US the necessity of feeling fully alive to OUT
nationality. by eyincing respect for his wise
counsel. | will not assume to offer to the
people Of Texas the words of warning and
admonition. In the words Of Jackson they
have higher counsel. The days once were
when my admonitions and advice we're OF
fered to them. They will remember what
my course among them has ever been-they
know with what interest have sought to Sc
cure their peace and advance their prosperi-
ty. My devotion to them is not lessened al
this moment--it can never abate so long as
all treasure upon earth remains IN the bo-
som Of that community. What ever estimate
they may think proper to place upon my
opinions is with them. To the aged and the
middle aged would speak as to brethren
to the younger men and the youth ] would
speak as falher--and beseech them to take
the course best calculated to restore harmo-
ny to our distracted country. and promote
the general good.
Thine truly, SAM. HOUSTON.
