Ny DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 27fh Of
March last was duly received.
Acting as an unpledged delegate to the Balti-
more convention, you ask my opinion in regard
TO the conS;itutionalitv and expedjeRcy of an I'M
mediate annexation of Texas TO the United States,
as soon as the assent of Texas may beshad to
such annexation Upon the receipt of your let
ter, caused you to be forthwith informed that
your request should be complied with in full sea
son for the convention, This promise shall now
perform. But, lest my motives in making pub
lie avowal of my opinions; whilst negotiation is
supposed to be pending, should be nliscenstEued,
| shall send this to a friend who will delay its de-
livery as long as that can be done consistently
with a faithful compliance with the requirements
OF your letter, and the general ebject4for which
it was written.
You by no means overrate the importance of
the subject upon which you have been pleased to
address me- It is not only a question Of intense
interest to every part Of the counsy, but is unha
PLY also one IN regard to Which we may not pro-
mise ourselves that unanimity in opinions which
is 50 important when great national questions like
this are to be decided That those which 1 ara
about to express will, in at least one important
particular, differ from that of many friends poIit-
ical and personal, whose judgments and purity
of views hold in high and habitual respect,
can well imagine; and it is quite evident from
the tenor of your letter, that they will not in all
respects correspond with your own. If howev-
er, such of my fellow-etizens as are neltheeinlH-
enced by prejudices, nor warped By selfinterest,
concede to my opinions the merit of having been
formed under views directed to the preservation
and advancement of the honor and best interests
of our common country, as whole, and express
ed with sincerity which has overlooked, as far
as our feeble natures will permit to do, al.per-
sonai considerations, my most favorable anticipa-
tons will be realized
It has already been made my duty to act Off
cialy on at least two several occasions but in DIFF
ferent forms, upon the sabjectInatter to which
your questions have reference.
Having charge Of the Department Of State in
1929, l prepared, by direction Of the President,
Instructions to our minister at Mexico, by which

chase of the greater part OF theSthen province OF

to insert in the treaty provision similar to that

My DEAR SIR: Under the belief that it is the
right of every free citizen, in free government,
to know the opinions of those who aspire to pub
lie station, upon great public questions as enc of
vour warrrzest supporters in 1886 and 1910, and
as an unpledged delegate to the Baltimore conven-
tion desire particularly to know your opinions
as to the constitutonalityH and expoaiency Of I'm
mediately annexing Texas to the United States,
so soon as the consent Of Texas may be had to
such annexation
The letters of Mr. Webster and General Jack
son on this subiect-the refusal of the legislature
of Kentucky to pass approbatory resolutions
the votes taken in the legislatures of Pennsytva-
mia, New York, and, as ann just Informed,
Maine-and the impression that Mr.. Clay viii
oppose the annexation, -givs'grea inportance to
your opinions.
1t is believed that T. full and frank declaratioh
from you, favorable to this great object, will be O4
great service to the-caQse, at q moment critical
Of it. destiny rndshOud you recognise my right
to inquire, aud your duty to answer, i shall be
greatly obliged to you for a letter setting forth
your opinions-prornising that, If Il be favorable
to annexation, will, aeeount Of the great ef.
feet it must have the iSse of this question, givs
to it early publicity; and if otherwise, that will
publish it oaly in time that POUR opinioAs pay be
fully known before the action Of the Baltimore
convention; unless you require its immediate pub
lication-in which even. 1 will also comply with
your request -.
Pardon me for suggesting that, should your
opinions bs favorable to annexation, the weight
and influence of those opinions will be dOubly en-
HANGED in the estimation of all true friends Of the
measure, BY the earliest possible public avowal Of
them before the country.

Truly your friend and ob't serv't.
