however, Of their being colonial possess

The latter is a State with an independent
Government. acknowledged as such BY
the United States, and claiming a territory
beyond, though bordering on, the region
cedeG by France, in the treaty of the
3Oth of April. 1905. Whether the Con.

so, in what manner that object is 10 be

while the United States are at peace

are bound 10 Mexico by a treaty of amIty

policy and the Obvious welfare Of the
United States,
"The inducements mentioned by Gen.
