a very different capacity.
Brief and superficial as is the Report of the Mexican
Commissioner, it has afforded very seasonable
aid at this stage of my narrative. It has described,
in the cold phraseology of official inquiry, the

in the solitudes of a land neglected and abandoned
by its rulers. The statistics of Almonte form
the proudest testimonial to the labours of those
fearless and persevering spirits who first rendered
the golden glebe of Texas tributary to the enjoyments
of civilised man, and supply a conclusive
answer to the charges brought against the Texans
by persons who, in the fervour of a philanthropic
enthusiasm in behalf of the Indian and the Negro,
are ready to sacrifice not only time and money, but
the solemn obligations of truth and justice.VOL. II.
