the fruit of til cir labors is as gall and worm

Had the officer in command remained in The
Fort he certainly could have maintained
himself against any force the Texans could
have brought against him. But he started
to retreat, and then surrendered uncoudl-

The undersigned each having heretofore

First That the present crisis in our coun-

Secondly. That it is the absolute duty Of

who would, when elected, carry with him the
most power for the maintenance OF the Gen

Thirdly. That while we have entire conf

more power to the Chair OF state and that he
will be more certain to defeat the See' ssiun
