friends, to announce my name as a
candidate for Senator in the ensuing
Legislature, 1 did intend at first to de-
cline,being necessarily obliged to leave
for Europe during the time of the can-
vass. But on the repeated solicitations
of many friends; and considering that
I was entrusted by the San Antonio
and Mexican Gulf Railroad Company,
with the care of their interests in Eu-
rope,— that I had, therefore, in any
evenlj to return before the meeting ol
the next Legislature,—that the tim«y
to be spent, and my most arduous ex-
to be used in behalf of that
, would, if successful, account
absence, and show to the voter
part of the State, that it was
in, nor in contempt of their
I left before the day of elec-
lly concluded to appear be-
as a candidate, and if, chosen
votes, I should have the honor
sent you in the Senate,—/
pledge myself to return in time
the #eal,*and to endeavor to do
y r.c the best of my ability,
á'fóf'-igner by birth, an Ameri-
can citizen by choice, and a democrat
by principle. I 'became a citizen of
the Republic of Texas in 1845, being,
at that time at the head of an impor-|
tant undertaking, by which not a little!
was done towards the increase of the j
wealth and population of this part of]
the State. The lands and produce of
Western Texas were quickly brought
into market, and a steady industrious
^ pulation poured in in large numbers,
if Western Texas, and this district in
particular, >vas benefitted by this enter-
prise,—1 only refer to it as a fact in my
favor, to have kept these operations
agoing, even under circumstances the
most embarrassing to myself, thus
keeping the stream of emigration di-
rected to this fertile and beautiful part
of the country.
It is my duty, fellow-citizens, to
state my views in relation to the most
nnporthnt questions and measures
which, probably, may require the ac-
tion of the Legislature, and tojnform,
youol the position I shall take, should
I have the honor to obtain your suf-
rages.
The most prominent question will
be the payment of the public debt,
contracted by the Republic of Texas,
and the proper disposition of the funds
remaining on hand after an equitable
discharge of all liabilities. The ap-
proved acts of the representatives of the
people (since the second Legislature)
and the people themselves, by major-
ity and common acquiescence, have
already directed the course to pursue.
I would not interfere with such a poli-
cy; believing it to be a matter of
-¿li'iity not to pay more on the part of
the State than the value received.—I
am, therefore, in favor of paying the
debt immediately, but at the scaled
rates, with interest to the day of pay-
ment. Such a measure will be satis-
factory, even to a majority of the pat-
riotic creditors, leaving in place of fur-
ther debts a surplus, which may be
employed in promoting the
patch of my trip to
fact that 1 am

P>' '
by-means of a free unu noerai eauca
the object first in importance". I am in
favor of appropriating^ sufficient part
of the remaining fund forthe establish-
ment and maintenance of free public
schools throughout the State; every
county should have the benefit of it in
projiortion to its population, as shown
by the census—allowing equal facili-
ties to all of the citizens. Another por-
tion of the surplus should be appro-
priated to internal improvements. Our
principal rivers and harbors have
already been surveyed by the U. S.
Engineers, and it has been shown by
their reports that the main obstructions
to navigation can be removed at a cost
not be put in comparison with the ad-
vantages which will be derived from
such a measure. It is also to be expect-
ed that Congress will make appropria-
tions to the same end, as contemplated
in the last River and Harbor Bill.—
But besides the natural channels of
commerce, public roads and railioads.
the only means of communication
where there is in a district no river of
any consequence suitable for naviga-
tion, should equally participate in the
~ tvncfits ot such appropriations. Pri-
vate means and enterprise having in
our district, already made a beginning,
1 would strongly advocate the encour-
agement of such an attempt, which
could be done by a loan, giving to the
State securities for the faithful repay-
ment of the principal, with interest.
The present system of frontier de-
fence has been proved to be wholly
inefficient. To the facts stated in the
report of the committee on Indian af-
fairs January 11, 1S50, there can be
added a number of robberies and mur-
ders committed on the frontier since
the conclusion of the treaty, equal in
amount, if not exceeding th#se already
mentioned. 1 am in favor of the State
taking action on this subject, \vith a
view of giving a speedy and more effi-
cient protection to our frontier than
ihat heretofore extended by the Gene-
•al Government, looking ultimately to
he repayment by the United States of
he expenses incurred by the State.
