Address TO tho People Of Texas,

In accordance with the require
menfs OF resolution adopted BY the
Conservative State Convention which
assembled in this city on the 10th Of
inns month, we submit TO you some
OF the reasons which influenced the
action OF the Convention, IN adopt
ing the resolutions which were plac-
cd before You
Under the acts OF Congress, which
relate to reconstruction, the. Heoeral
commanding the military district,
CON posed o. 'ho States c! Louisiana
ana Texas, has ordered an election
IN the State OF Texas, at which the
people are e determine by their
votes whether state Convention
shall or shall not be held and they
are authorized at the same time TO
vote far delegates to State Conven-
non,
While the people are anxious to
have TINS state restored TO her iull
relations as state with the Federal
Government, and TO be allowed to
exercise the rights OF loell sell gov
eminent, and 10 enjoy The protection
of the civil law, administered by the
accustomed courts o! justice and,
while 10 this end they would sacri-
flee their preconceivel convictions
on all questions not vital TO their fu.
turc welfare and safety, it was the
opinion of the convention, and we
believe the opinion Of nearly all Of
the white people OF this State, that
the necessities of their situation do.
nand Of them to do all they can 10
prevent the incorporation into the
organic law Of the State of the prin-
ciple of negro suffrage
Though they feel compelled by
sacred sense of duty thus TO act, ut
the same time they would not will.
lingly do anything which should be
offensive either to the people repre-
sented in the congress oF the United
States, or to congress, and they would
rejoice to know that terms Of recon.
struction were submitted for their
approval, which they could accept
without Africaoizing the State and
subjecting the people to the DONNA.

cicty,
Although il is believed there is a
large majority Of white people over
the negroes in this State entitled to
bc registered as voters. il il at the
same time believed that under the
system of registration which prevails
il is uncertain whether the white
vote is sufficient to save tho State
from Authorization and war of ra.
ces and the anarchy and ruin which.
il Is greatly feared would follow that
result
Tho Cony,nti,n in ia action WINS
Influenced by these considerations to
recommend to the Conservative vo-
tiers of the State to take course
which will secure TO them all the
chances of saving themselves, their
families aud tho State from the dire
ealami,ics which we believe would re-
suit from negro supremacy.
In advance of further reference
to the recommendations of this Con
vention, it is proper to say that il
intentionally avoided any recital or
reference to past differences of po-
litical opinion between the people of
Texas and the people of other States,
