Great Britain has recently formally and so!eiahiE
dsayowed any such aims orpurposes-has lcci-i' Z.
that she ia DESTROYS only OF the independence oI
Texas and that she has no intention 10 interfere N

ayowal and declaration, presume they are IN The
possession OF the Executive.

be best for the happiness OF al! parties that IN mat
event. thew should be erected into separate ana M
dependent Republic. With the Canadian Republic
on one side, that Of Texas on the other, and The
United States the friend Of both, between Them each
could advance it, own happiness by such conshtu-
tons laws and measures, as were best adapted 10
its peculiar condition They would be natural al
lies ready, by cooperation, TO repel any European or
foreign attack upon either. Each would AFFORD
secure refuge to the prosecuted and oppressed driven
into exile b. either of the others. They would
emulate each other in improvements, IN tree lnslu-
tons and III the science OF self-governnent whist
Texas has adopted our Constitution, as the model OF
hers she has in several important particulars, great
~ improved upon it.
Although have felt compelled, from the nature oil
the inquiries addressed 10 me, 10 extend tins com,
inunicaton TO a much greater length than could
have wished, could not do justice 10 The subject,
and fairly and fully expose my own opinions' IN
shorter space. In conclusion they may be stated IN
few words TO be, that consider The Annexation oil
Texas n, this lime, without the assent OF Mexico as
a measure compromising the national character, IN
yolying us certainly in war with Mexico, probably
with other foreign Powers, dangerous 10 the lntrg-
rv OF the Union, nexpedient IN the present imam
cia condition of the country, and not called Tor by
any general expression of public opinion.
