Austin was a candidate for Presi dent of Texas in 1836, but was defeat ed by General Sam Houston. The lat ter appointed him secretary of state and it was only three months after taking that office that he was taken ill with pneumonia at Columbus, Tex as. and died. His remains were taken to a live oak grove upon the bank of the Brazos river and buried. His tomb was marked by a brick vault, sur mounted by a marble slab. The spot is now covered with a tangle of vines and shrubbery. It was a Missouri man, Moses Aus tin. who made the long overland jour ney to San Antonio in 1820, and pre sented an application to the repre sentatives of the Mexican government for a concession to locate 300 fami lies of Americans in Texas. The ex posure from his long trip back to Mis souri caused his death in June. 1821, a few months after the Mexican gov ernment had granted his application tor the establishment of the propsed colony. Moses Austin's dying request was that his son. Stephen F. Austin, should take up the colonization work. The latter proceeded at once to carry into effect the great plan which was In a few years to cause Texas to gain its Independence from Mexico. Attracted Many Colonists. It was granted large tracts of land on the lower course of the Brazos and Colorado rivers. Generous offers of land skon attracted many colonists. The new settlers came from Missouri. Kentucky. Tennessee and Louisiana chiefly. In 1822 the Mexican govern ment granted Austin the right to set tle 1200 families upon his lands. In 1825. Green DeWitt, also from Mis souri. was granted permission to settle 400 families in territory west of Aus tin's colony. In that same year Hayden Edwards was authorized to settle 800 families in East Texas. These several colonisa tions projects soon began to make trouble for the Mexican government. Conflicts of authority between the Americans and the Mexicans became frequent The government became sus picious of the fidelity of Edwards and a decree was issued annuling his col onization contract and ordering his expulsion from the country. Edwards saw ruin staring him in the face, lie raised the flag of rebellion and de cided to fight for what he considered right. His colonists agreed to stand by him. They held a convention and in <d>e form drew up and signed a dec oration of independence of their ter titory. naming It the Republic of Fre donia. This was In 1826. just ten years before the general revolt of the Amer ican colonists occurred that resulted In the Independence of Texas. Austin refused to give his aid to the Fredon ia rebellion, and It was soon put down , by a strong force of Mexican troops. The Mexican government became; suspicious of the United States as the troubles with the American colonists became more and more P ro "” There was a general belief on the part of the Mexican authorities that the United States government yas back of the colonization movement and that it had for its object, the gaining of Texas territory. In 1830 a decree was Issued by the Mexican government suspending all land contracts for colonies not already established; prohibiting more slaves being brought intot Texas: prohibltt ing foreigners from entering Texas from the north unless having a pass port from a Mexican consular agent, forbidding colonists from countries touching Mexico settling in Texas any where near their own border, and or- I dering the establishment of Mexican | colonies In Texas. Was Sent To Mexico. Many other burdensome degrees and orders were issued, all having for the object the driving out of the re public the American colonists. Things went from bad to worse with the col onists In 1833 Austin was sent to the City of Mexico as one of the commis- SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE sioners selected at a convention of the American settlers to present to the government a memorial asking that certain changes be made in the gov ernment there for three months with out being able to accomplish his mis sion. While he was on his way back to Texas he was arrested, taken back to the City of Mexico and thrown into the prison of the Old Inquisition. He was kept a close prisoner for two years, being finally given his liberty without having been tried, and ignor ant of the charges that were made against him. He was given a great reception by his colonists upon his re turn to Texas. The plans for the revolution against Mexico went rapidly forward. Austin took a leading part in the work of ar ranging for the proposed armed up rising of the colonists, although he was originally at the head of the peace party. He advised that the wrongs could not be righted except by force of-arms. He was unanimously elect ed commander In chief of the volun teer troops assembled at Gonzales. When the war was over and the Texas republic had been established, Austin went to his old home on the Brazos river for a brief rest. He made a hard political campaign for the Trst presidency of the republic, but Hous ton was a popular hero and won in that conteset. ROAD TO NEW RESORT.
