Mr. Van Buren, on Anneration.--
The Globe of Saturday evening con.
tains a letter from Mr.. Van Buren,.
covering nearly six columns of that pa.
per, on the question Of ~annexing Tex-
as to The United States. We presen,
the following brief sketch Of the
views expressed:
Mr.. Van Burea ably argues in the
first part of his letter the Constitu-
tional objection raised to the receiv-
ing a new foreign State into the Un-
ion, and asserts that he cannot see
any objection IN this ground to the
annexation of Texas, provided her in
dependence should be acknowledged
by Mexico.
The reception Of Texas at presen,
into the Union. be strongly contends,
would DC contrary 10 treaty obliga-
lions with Mexico, and with a proper
respect for that integrity of charac-
ter by which the United States have
sought to distinguish themselves since
the establishment Of their right to
claim Il place in the great family of
nations. He contends that the same
reasons which were urged against
annexation Of Texas in 1887 are ap-
plicabIe now, as Mexico has not Civ
en- up her intention to reconquer it.
Should European nations attempt to
coIonize Texas, he would prevent it
by force if necessary.
With regard to n future change
in the condition of Texas. he will
not say what would be his course on
the subject of annexing her to the
Union. He would, however, act for
the good Of the country, regardless Of
all sectional considerations. &c.
