THE TEXAS ALMANAC. 271
vancing, to carry on against us a war of
extermination.
It has, through its emissaries, incited
the merciless savage, with the tomahawk
and scalping knife, to massacre the in-
habitants of our defenseless frontiers.
It has been, during the whole time of
our connection with it, the contemptible
sport and victim of successive military
revolutions, and hath continually exhibit-
ed every characteristic of a weak, cor-
rupt and tyrannical Government.
These and other grievances were pa-
tiently borne by the people of Texas, until
they reached that point at which for-
bearance ceases to be a virtue. They
then took up arms in defense of the Na-
tional Constitution. They appealed to
their Mexican brethren for assistance.
Their appeal has been made in vain;
though months have elapsed, no sympa-
thetic response has yet been heard from
the interior. They are, therefore, forced
to the melancholy conclusion that the
Mexican people have acquiesced in the de-
struction of their liberty, and the substi-
tution therefor of a military despotism;
that they are unfit to be free, and inca-
pable of self-government.
The necessity of self-preservation,
therefore, now decrees our eternal politi-
cal separation.
We, therefore, the delegates, with ple-
nary powers, of the people of Texas, in
solemn convention assembled, appealing to
a candid world for the necessities of our
condition, do hereby resolve and declare
that our political connection with the
Mexican Nation has forever ended, and
that the people of Texas do now consti-
tute a free, sovereign and independent
Republic, and are fully invested with all
the rights and attributes which properly
belong to independent States; and, con-
scious of the rectitude of our intentions,we fearlessly and confidently commit the
issue to the decision of the Supreme Ar-
biter of the destinies of nations.
