However that may be- you Mr. Secretary Of State,
must know that have now more cause than ever 10 be
anxious for reply TO my notes Of the 26lh OF jay ane
h of August The resolution the President will, IN my
opinnn, determine the characaf Of the relations which
are TO exist Immediately ihrac, forward between the Two
countries ana should that res !u:!on be, contrary to all
my expectations, adverse to he rights of Mexico, it
will also necessarily determine as to the existence OF
ri.srion By which am So highly honoIed. -,
rrurat, however, that do not anticipate this The
,,ap II, Ia Lstip NJ the
Of AuTus, 10 the Governor Of Tennessee, is so frank,
uenrrons and friendly towads Mexico and the princi
p.s therein proessed by him SO exact aud equitable,
that Il would certainly be graluous injury to his !ee!-
iys To- suppose for sin gle stant, that, or an coca
sion thousand times important than thai, he could
think and act ~ different u.anMcr. Far be 1t from me
10 entertain such an idea. H. 1t that period, and when
u measure IN contemPlall'n winch couu only give
rise To- suspicious Of partially towards the Texans, the
President Of the United States FASTENED 10 disaPprove OF
it. in consideration Of the treaties by which obligations
were entered into with Mexico, and because Mexico
had up 10 that PERIOD fuIird in no respect IN tue
observance Of those engagements, with so much the
mare confidence may il b. expected that the Fres
den, will recall from Nacogdocaes the troops which have
violated the Mexican territory, IN opposition TO all te
principles of international right; and That he VIII WIN
draw from Gen. Gaines dangerous power: which, es-
oecial!y in bis hands cannot bit be productive OF evil
to the lao Republics This, sir, as conceive was your
