PROTEST'
of the Governor of Texas against the recent unconstitutional, or
illegal proceedings of the General Council-
To the honorable the President and members, Representatives of
the free and sovereign people of Texas in General Convention as-
sembled.
Gentlemen.
It appears by the published proceedings of the General Council
of the provisional Govt. of Texas under date of the 11th of January
1836, that a certain article of private correspondence, addressed to
a secret session of that body, from the Executive Department, on
which the following preamble and resolutions has been predicated,
.[has been published] and become of record in the public Journals
of that body,2 which renders the present appeal necessary from the
Executive Department, over which I have had the honor to pre-
side: Which preamble and resolution reads as follows8
Your special committee to whom was referred the communica-
tion of Governor Smith report. That they are unable to express
f'his document is in (Governor Smith's handwriting and bears his
signature at the end. It is undated. In all probability it is the copy
cited above as marked E; it bears this endorsement: "Documents pre-
sented by Gov. Smith."
"Printed in Journal of the Proceedings of the General Council, etc.,
