Lexington union. (Lexington, Miss.) 1838-18??, 1839-05-11
LEXINGTON, MISSISSIPPI, MAY Ii, 1889.

Louis Potos, Zacatecas, Jalisco, Nuevo
Leon, Coahuilla, Durango, Siuaoa, Chi
huahna, together with the territories of
New Mexico and the Californans, the
latter having successfully effected their
emancipation, after the example of Texas:
without experiencing from the powerless
Central government the least yexaion.
You are, doubtless, lot ignorant of those
states containing the greatest mass of the
population, of the territorial riches, and Of
the moral, scientific, and political abilities
amongst the Mexicanpeople. Hence, they
constitute the real force of the whole coun-
try; and Of course, If their cause triumph,
the other states will, one by one, follow
their examples.
The bravo and enlightened President
Lamar, by Bpening a commercial inter-
course between Mexico and Texas, has
prepared the materials for the beautiful
edfice to be erected; the basis OF friend
ship useful TO both countries is laid: but
they have still common enemy 10 reduce
to the impossbilty of doing them harm,
and therefore the establishment of polni.
cal intercourse between Texas and the
federal part Of Mexico is not the less i'm.
portant. The New Mexican federation
has right of making with foreign powers
such contracts as it might deem proper; i,
is as sovereign as the Texian Republic
itself. This truth, sanctioned and highly
proclaimed by the code Of nations, admit
ted, Texas could not dissemble it 10 itself
without perpetrating a true political sui
eide. Let, then two thousand gifts valIien
volunteers take up their line of march,& le
its government enter with that ofthe new
Mexican federation upon suitable treaty
whose basis ought to be, in my opinion
the following.
Isl. The Mexican Federation do so
lemuly and explicitly acknowledge the
absolute and perpetual independence o
the former state Of" Coahuila and Texas.
End. The Texian Republic, comprising
the whole ancient territory of Coahuils
and Texas, without being a member of the
new Mexican federation, is to treat with
it as sovereign TO sovereign, and should
Immediately siipnlale with it a treaty o.
defensive and offensive alliance against
the Central Government Of Mexico.
3rd. After the stipulation of this treaty,
no other Mexican state shall be admitted
into the new Mexican union but under the
express condition of subscribing TO said
treaty upon the same basis as expressed
above, without their being ever allowed to
propose the least modification to it, except
with the free consent Of the Texan Re-
public.
18th. The troops that Texas, in virtue Of
the said treaty. should engage to employ
in the defence of the new Mexican fedora
ton, are to be maintained at the expense
ofihs federation, during their permanence
within the limits of its territorial jurisdic.
ton.
9Th. Neither of the allied powers shall
ever in,efere in the interior organization
of each other, under any political, legisla-
tive, civil, military or religious aspect, &c.
MIR. Editor, the news alone of this alii-
ance would cause those hordes of Central.
lists, now advancing 10 the stroke of the
whip, to fall back terrified, and their go
vernment to be struck with sudden death.
This would restore peace between Mexico
and France. This would prevent rup.
ture between the United States and Mexi-
co. This would put an end to the civil
war in that distressed country; and Texas,
acknowledged independent by Mexico,
would likewise be acknowledged as such
by all the nations on earth, and thus ena-
bIed to enjoy all the advantages and the
grandeur TO which lis. heroic efforts have
already given il 50 many claims. What
on the contrary, would the result be if the
Texans remaining satisfied and cool spec
tators oflhe contest between the Centralists
and Federalists of Mexico? The latter
either conquerors or conquered wouldjustly
and undoubtedly become cnraged. and a
Mexican war, truly national, would threat
en- for long time TO come, the political
existence OF Texas, both as nation and a
colony.
believe, sir; in good faith, that there is
nothing more reasonable, just, legal, useful,
indispensable, than what | have here the
honor Of submitting 10 the consideration
Of your fellow-ciizens through your in
teresing journal, should you think as do,
fear nothing: time will do us justice.
Most respectfully and ever yours,
