      TEXAS.

      A BRIEF ACCOUNT

      OF THE

      ORIGIN, PROGRESS AND PRESENT STATE

      OF THE

      COLONIAL SETTLEMENTS OF TEXAS;

      TOGETHER WITH AN EXPOSITION OF THE CAUSES WHICH HAVE INDUCED THE EXISTING

      WAR WITH MEXICO.

          Extracted from a work entitled "A Geographical, Statistical and

           Historical account of Texas," now nearly ready for the press.

      PREFACE.

      It will be seen that the title of this little pamphlet implies more than it contains.

It is hoped and believed that enough is unfolded to convince the most incredulous that the colonists of Texas have been forced into this contest with the mother country, by persecutions and oppressions, as unremitting as they have been unconstitutional. That it is not a war waged by them for cupidity or conquest, but for the establishment of the blessings of liberty and good government, without which life itself is a curse and man degraded to the level of the brute. If the time-hallowed principle of the Declaration of Independence, namely, that governments are instituted for the protection and happiness of mankind, and that whenever they become destructive of these ends it is the right, nay it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish them. If this sacred principle is recognised and acted upon, all must admit that the colonists of Texas have a clear right to burst their fetters, and have also a just claim for recognition as an independent nation, upon every government not wholly inimical to the march of light and liberty, and to the establishment of the unalienable rights of man.

      CURTIUS.

      No. I.
