| In relation to the taking Of Government property,
which han been before mentoed, there was OF neccs-
sity considerable expense occurring IN the trapsac-
ton and smoDg others, l wish ~ refer you 10 the
claim of Gen. e. Is. Nichols, who borrowed Tor onr
use upon bis individual credit, the sum OF soo,oVo
Tins is debt not only Of justice, but Of patriotism and
OF honor and would suggest that 1t be fully paid, al
the very earliest day.
A considerable portion Of the message Is devoted &c
our pcliti al troubles. The Governor says:
| Recent advices indicate a desire, on the part Of
those who have driven into separation, 10 remedy
the error and reclaim us. To this reunion am op
| posed absolutely and eternally. The experience Of
recent years has convinced that 1t would be unsa't
and nudicious, because their visionary theories ear
harmonic with our settled convictions OF night
The idea expressed by few persons. that Texas
should stand alone, is prepCsterous that will moi
notice IT, bet proceed TO congratulate her her form
ing portion of the Confederate States. II is con
necion dictated alike by feelings Of relative tier, by
considerations of mutual safety and benefit and by
motives of identical interests.
