Resolution ofl'ered by lit. Bump , Br«t the peopl
day of the Oonveution: ' . nreiudl<
Retalvtd, That the condition of All State
requires that this Convention should alter or
amend tho Constitution of this StnV, to '.far
as if> necessary to enable it to resume Its for-
mer friendly relations with the United State#
a* a State of the Federal Union, and no far-
ther. * BUMF ASS.
The subsequent Resolution of Judge Pas-
chal covered the same grounded was de-
fended by Ur. B., & fallows:
Mr. Blmpaw said—It is to gratify no desire
J have for public speaking. I can assure yon,
• Mr. President, that I stand he ¿6 in my plaoe
to defend a resolution wbioh I offored the
&'i first day of this Convention, and which was
referred to the proper committee, and is await-
ing their action ; but which ha boon super-
seded by tl « one offered by my Teamed friend
from Bexar, embraotag the same points, and
cotetring the same gronnd. O'árl would I
have been to have remained t* I'ent spec-
tator of the action of this Convention, lUt}
toning to the arguments of the l^m^f 1J1S, , , ,it ., ,, ,
Sentlemen by whom I am surrounden, been inflicted, how cautiotís should we pro*
' by so doing 1 could have done justice ceed! T know nothiflg of your parliamentary
to the peojpjle I represent—a people long- ruloe, Mr, President; but I .have learned

fcbey enjoyed previous to.the adoption of the atóte to lay all your motions, gentlei eo,^on

governments get in good working
order : nod then, if the people of Texas wish
to tear up their old Constitution, I have no
objection. Bat there is not a member en thi«
Hour whe can say ho wa« aent here for that
purpose uow. No, Sir, they know the people
dreamed of no suoh thing.
I wish to reply to the argument* of some of
the gentlemen on this floor in one particular,
and 1 have dona: that in, the people are la
such ft condition that thoy will ratify any Con*
stlhjtlon tvesontcd. I do not deny it; but to
a pure hearted ninn what a powerful appeal
in iny f*M*r this i ; that by hasty and incoo
sidorate action they have been reduced to
suoh a state of Want they will accept anything
tor a change.- 'Should not this Convention be
oarefui how they act ! If this it the ease, Is it
not better, as they will not examine it) that
we travel the old rood, and not venture W
