May 2 1914.
SIR: | have had the honor TO receive
your letter of the 29th of last month.
intimating that have 'been spoken of
as a candidate for the office of President
Of the United States" remarking, also,
that IAN intelligent people, exercising
the right Of selecting their own chief
magistrate, are entitled TO know the
opinions of those whom they NAV select
as their Candidates, upon the leading cues
tons that agitatc the public mind" and
concluding with asking mine on 'the
question Of the annexation Of Texas 10
this Union as one which. from the
necessity of immediate action upon it, is
the most prominent and interesting mea-
sure now before the people" And Won
also add, that being a delegate TO the
Baltimore convention, which assemblies
on the 9th of May, it will be Your de-
sire to make my views on this subject
public
am profoundly sensible of your good
and patriotic views in making this in
quiry, under existing circumstances, and
shall proceed to reply, in all frankncss
and sincerity, to your inquiry.
assume that there exists no constitu-
tional objection 10 Texas being incorpo-
rated with our Union. That question
appears to be set at rest since our acqui-
sition of Louisiana and Florida, and the
abundant, and, as have supposed, salts
factory discussion Of it, 10 which all have
access. | will at least venture to say
that they have satisfied my mind.
Passing, then, to the general question,
the reasons are so numerous, cogent,
powerful, and urgent, both on the score
Of policy and humanity, for making Tex
as part of the Union, and have so strong
a bearing upon our national industry,
revenues, prosperity, and power, that |
have not been able TO refuse the assent
of my judgment TO them.
] have considered, on the other
hand, the views alleged against the
measure; and. greatly as the sources
whence they eminate are entitled TO,
and have, my respect, they have not
proved, on the earnest reflection, suC-
icient with me to outweigh the strong
reasons tia t exist in its favor. That
a step Of so much magnitude, present
and future, should meet with opposi,
ton in the first instance is to be ex-
poc,cd. This was the case when we
acquired Louisiana and Florida, the
objections to which are now forgot
ten in the unspeakable advantages
flowing from il. and to flow through
out ages to come. Such, it appears
to me, would decidedly attend the
annexation of Texas. Millions un-
born, and ages in the future, may be
expected 10 reap the advantages of
its incorporation with our Union long
after the objections ofthc day are for
gotten.
