and which is willing to admit them into its union
But the undersigned will repeat here what he has
ment and people Of the South Of the United States
have brought about the present cndition OF Texas in
order to form plausible argument by which to support
the acquisition Of that territory which, for the last 30
years. has been. considered Indispensable by all parties
and administrations OF that Republic" rs not the So
called Texans who have able effect the indepen
dence Of that province il them who able to
duct to the end Is the Southern people ct the Uni
ted States who have done the whoe not for purpose
Of making Texas an independent nation but IN order to
annex wn some appe;aIsn@Se nee oI Justice 20 ans,r own
proof Of the Inability of the Texans; Tor IL their
sufficient to sustain then against the power
Of the Mexican Republic there would have been no oc-
cason for the Government OF his Excelency Mr. shan
place itself openly their side tearing away
to cover its intrgues and designs.
Passing 10 the matter OF that belief, which 1t is
sa il s ne Of
that republic in s03 the undersigned would ask that
be sufficient to invalidate later treaties confirmed with
the requisite soemnitesi By the one which was con-
cuded and signed at Washington AID February, 1919, be-
tween the penpoen,iaes OF the United States and Spain,
Of the Spanish possessions ana if is said that
improperly SURRENDERED. and If il pretended to
the treaty referred TO- what security public conven.
tions have hereafter since it is easy aege against
all some pre- existing right improperly surrendered re- d or
and with better claim to dispute with the United
States the possession Of louisiana When Spain gave up
that country to France. which latter sold Tor eighty
millions to the American Government, did not Spon by
by the treaty Of the t October soo the right
OF in case France should to aenate
And had the United STATES the previous of
Spain in making this important acquisition Far from
this the matter was egoated without giving Spain any
notice. and when came to her knowledge complain
ed bitterly and for the space year refused approve
the treaty for the cesson Of Louisiana What then would
the United States say il in spite OF solemn approval
the cabinet Madrid should forw ard claim
that the oession had been improperly made, that
red ought to be restored to her
Would they fail to alege the conventional right re-
ulting from the treaty OF approval as perempory
for opposing the preensons OF Spain Mexico does
the now, resting only the treaty OF Wash
ngton aad Of February 1879 but on that Of ah Of Janu
and the United States afterwards solemnly ratified by
the high contracting powers In both it was agreed TO
mark the line Of division, that Texas should not be-
long to the United States hut first 10 Spain, and after
wards to Mexcoas ding the former in her right
In neither found any reservations which might give
the American government the titles which il appears she
pretends to found belief contrary to solemn conven
on nIs n
and this Republic appears by Article Sd OF the treaty
| OF Washington, and "a Of that Of Mexico
Considering this belief that the territory OF Texas be-
longs 10 them has been entertained has been said by
all parties and governments OF the United States for the
hs of ha
boundaries with Spain, TO recognise that province
as On integral part OF the Mexican Republic Why if
they had good reasons then did they not amend the de-
feet OF the first treaty and at least make some slight
servaton by which to support the right which they
assume, and which they pretend to enforce
1t equally surprising that an attempt is also made to
found on the safety Of the United States the right to take
up fertile and extensive province belonging TO neie
boring nation and recognized integral part Of
solemn treaties
tranquil the possession their respective territories
for the strong might swallow up the weak, by alleging
the right o. their own safety The United States after
proprate to themselves the other frontier departments
the Mexican Republic If they did not take at the
whole territory embraced between the rivers Bravo del
Norte and Colorado which emptes into the of Cali
foTnia
misfor,unes especially having powerful reason to
fear them in the not over faithful conduct which the
have observed towards her in the matter Of Texas how
can she disregard on this point her right Of safety
oSnded better titles than those which the Republic IL
the nuence which she believed be sinister Great
Britain the welfare and prosperity o their people
For II the government Of Mr.. Tyler wishes to consult
the safety Of its country by taking to itself foreign ter
tory the Mexican nation claims 10 provide for its own,
by sustaining province which by every right belongs
to It, II the former seeks to rid itself o troublesome
neighbor, the latter while contributes to the views o
former to cave various other departments
which are threatened, and even the nationality OF Its
country In short the aspires to find more land to
stain with the slavery Of an unhappy branch Of the hui
own to diminish the aliment which he former desires for
80 detestabe traffic. Let the world say which OF the
two has Justice and reason on its side.
Tor the manner in which proposes to conduct
the war against the socaled Texans the undersigned will
that this harshness has been originated by the policy
Of the government and the Southern population OF the
United staes which has not conformed with the rela
tons OF good neighborhood or the due to
the rights OF renhy people, For, instead Of having
