" The sword had no part, nor did the purse have any in the victory.
True, Texas retained her public lands; but those, after the surrender of the reve- nue from customs, was her principal resource for the extinguishment of the sacred debt of the war of independence, and for the support of tiie government and the existence of the Republic. But Texas is charged — at least indirectly — with being the cause of the war with Mexico, with its enormous expenditures of money, and of the blood and lives o...f thousands who fell upon the battle-field, covered with imperishaVjle honors. Can it be possible that all these vast expenditures were in- curred, that State after State of Mexico was overrun, that its proud Capital was occupied by our victoiious armies — and all this for the defence of Texas, and the integrity of her soil? Let its examine the facts.
