WHY TEXAS OUGHT TO BE ADMITTED
INTO THE UNiON.-No. /.

Nrw YosK, Aug 90, ls43
propose, Mr. Editor. to discuss the above subject
in series of brief and familiar letters which trust
you i'll find interesting enough 10 insert IN your val
liable journal. shall follow them up daily, until !
have said all intend 10 say.
| regard the annexation Of Texas 10 The Onited
Staes question OF deep aud vital interest 10 botl
countries. Upon lis decision, 10 my humble OPINION
depends the perpetustion Of our Federatve Union OF
its dissolution the independence OF the region he
tween the Sabine and the Rio del Norte, submis-
sion 10 the control OF England These conside-
rations Of such importance as, am sure, VIII attract
the attention Of the public mind TO the subject, the
main object have in view; for am confident that II
the sense of the two nations can be aroused TO The
true nature of the dangers attendant upon the settle
ment Of the question OF annexation, here WIZ DC no
difclty in the matter
No man of unpreudiced mind for moment
hesitate to acknowledge but that the destines oil The
two Republics one and the same, II Texas would
go on TO the achievement of great things. IL Is I'M
possible that an independent sovereignty like that OF
Texas should have different aims, different views,
from those of the United States Her interests de-
mand that she should be bound up in the great Amer
lean bundle with her sister soscreignies while, on
the other hand the interests Of the United States re-
qure the same thing This mutually of interest, II
il only be well understood must lead to the OBJ
jeot in yew-the admission OF Texas into the Union
| pass the obvious consideration, at present,
| of the origin of the Texan republic. II is an ee-
|
question Of admission. There will be no prejudices
| to encounter, arising from difference OF language,
habits, manners, religion, pursuits, or feelings 0ul
4 the Texan is American IN all these particulars, ana
in nine out OF ten more so, because oil ms ADJ
sence from his fatherand. We all love our native
country the more when away from it. Being across
the Sabine, and living under precisely the same IN
sttutions and nearly the same laws as those pre-
vailing in the United States, the Texan never be-
comes un- ericanized. shall revert to this point
again. but | merely allude to il now, to show that
there are no barriers the admission Of Texas into
our Union on either side. The citizens Of the
United States would hail with pleasure the advent
into the common family of freemen OF the thousands
Of Texans who united to them by the strong ties
of blood or relationship, and mutual feeling OF fell
owship would instantly spring up between the two
people, because they in. truth, but one people
separated by narrow and insignificant river
! ! said that the destiny of the Uuited States and
that Of Texas and the same, if Texas
hoped to attain great and important ends but II they
kept separate in government their destiny be
one and the same No Texas has been indepen-
dent Just years. and already she at the mercy
Of foreign power. Intestinal discord has shown its
head within her limits and her institution OF slavery
il is proposed to abolish, on the condition that Eng
! land will be her foster. mother and secure the ac-
acknowledgement of her Independence by Mexico
Such direction this given TO her career IS entire
y opposite to that of the United States and it must
bring the two countries in conflict ere very long
Texas backed by Great Britain, with free labor,
against the United States, with slavery and free labor
combined what is to be the result of such con
licti In my next, will endeayor to point out TO you
some of the evils attendant upon such state OF
things for that state of things is at this very time IN
progress of accomplishment, and perhaps before
twelve months time, will be completed SABINE.
