Excerpt from The Fall of Bexar: A Texian Tale
But while all this glorious realization of the most sanguine dreams of the colonists, was adding increased strength to enterprise, the uncurbed ambition of the Mexican chief, that had succumbed to temporary restraint by the hand of policy, began to grow eager for an exercise of its strength, and the patriot Santa Anna looked with hope and expectation upon the imperial purple that fell from Iturbide the usurper. By degrees he changed his cabinet, drew tighter the reins of government, abridged the sufi'rages of the dependent republics, and began the Operations of a scheme to nullify their representative privileges, and consolidate the legislative power into sovereign central ism. The people of Texas were the first to observe this increasing abridgment of their liberties, for the other provinces were peopled with a' population who had never tasted the sweets ofx-settled and undisturbed freedom.
