W estern Ad vocal e."
As its name purports the entire object of the paper wille
to support the Western portion of Texas and sustain the char-
acter and interests ol ita inhabitants against the violent and
lawless attempts which have been made and are still making
to ruin the one and prostrate the other. In doing this it will
animadvert freely though justly upon the course heretofore
pursued bylhe Executive and should he continue that course
every effort will be made to cenvey correct inlonna'.ion in re-
gard to his conduct into every section of the Republic so that
.t nmrnniirnc nf rho npi.nlf in meeting in (Jonetess at its

their trouble. To do this however some expenses will be in-
curred which the undersigned is unable to bear and he must
depend upon the assistance of his friends aud those who think
and feel with him on this occasion to meet ihose expenses.
The paper will be of medium size and issued once m two
weeks at the moderate price ol two .iollars per annum ; and as
the undersigned is aware of the great scarcity of money and has
no other object in making a charge than to cover the expenses
which will unavoidably attend the entei prize he is willing to
