With regard to the latter point, it must be and IL
we'll known both the United States and TO the whole
world that Great Britain desires, and is constantly
etng herself TO procure the general abolition oil slave
~ throughout the world. But the means which she
has adopted, and will continue u adopt, for this hu
name and virtuous purpose, open and undsguised
She will do nothing secretly or underhand She de-
sres that her motives may be generally understood,
sand her acts seen by all.
With regard to Texas, we avow that we wish 10 see
slavery abolished there elsewhere, and we should
rejoice if the recognition oil that country by the Mex-
Government should be accompanied by an engage
men the part Of Texas TO abolish slavery eventually,
and under proper condition, throughout the Republic
But although we earnestly desire, and feel to DC our
duty 10 promote such consummst We shall not m
te,fcre, unduly or with an improper assumption OF an-
thory, with either party, order 10 insure the aooP-
tion Of such We shall counsel but we shall
seek TO compel unGuly control, either party
So far as Great Britain is concerned, provided other
States act with equal forbearance hcee Governments
will be fully at liberty to make their own unrttered ar
engagements with each other, both with regard to the
abolition Of slavery and to all other points
Great Britain moreover, does not design TO establish
in Texas whether partially dependent on Mexico, oil
entirely independent, (Which latter alternative we con-
slider in avery respect prefer able any dominant inhu
ence. She only desires to share her influence equally
with all other nations Her objects are purely conf
mercial, and she has thought intention OF seek
ing TO act, directly indirectly in political sense, on
the U. S. through Texas.
The British Government, as the U. States well know
have sought in any way to stir up dsafection
or excitement OF any kind to The slavehoding States oil
the American Union. Much as we should wish to see
those States placed the firm and solid footing which
we consceniiousy believe to be attained by genera
freedom alone, have in our treatment OF them
made any difference bet Seen the slavehodng and free
States Of the Union. All are IN our eyes, entitled, a.
component members Of the Union, TO equal political re
spect favor and orbearance our part, To that WISE
and just policy shall continue to adhere; aud the
Governments of the savehoidng States may be assured
that, although shall no, dess, from those open aut
honest eforis which have constantly made for pro-
curing the abolition of slavery throughout the world
we shall neither openly secretly resort to any msa

lty thereby affect the prosperity Of the American
Union.
