Campbell, representing Galveston, Texas at the state Secession Convention, transmits several ordinances (not included) regarding Texas' secession to Beale (possibly Campbell's cousin). Declares "The Union is defunct -- dead, never to be revived. No concessions now would occasion its reconstruction. The South can not be conquered ... The cost has been counted and we are ready to pay it ... Had simple equality been conceded, the South would have submitted to every other wrong."
