WASHINGTON, 18th April, 1874.
am glad to be able to give you the facts; it mat
tiers not whence get them; il 10 enough that i'm
phclt credit may be given them. The leading
terms of the Texan Treaty are az follows:-
LIST. The United States are to discharge or as
sumo the debts of Texas, to the amount Of what
The sale OF Texan Lands will pay, and farther.
l he assumption will only equal the sale of lands.
"a lexas Is to be admitted Territory, and
10 be allowed one Delegate IN Congress l am not
positively informed as to the matter Of the Dele
gate Dat nave no doubt as to the truth of the state
ment.
Sd. Nothing Is said about slavery and on this
point suppose will be the only issue in ratitying
the treaty.
4th The accompanying correspondence (Which
will all be laid before the Senate) will deveope tho
fact that England has been making overtures to
Texas of alliance. The government of the
United States has been appraised of the fact Mr.
Upshur entered into correspondence with Mr.
Everett upon the subject. Mr.. Everett replied.
MIR. Upshur wrote again. Since his death an an
swer has been received. And the whole cores
pondence will be submitted to the Senate.
9Th. The treaty must be iatfed-in order to
take efect-within thirty days after it shall be
sent into the Senate
Here is additional important fact. The
course which Mr.. Calhoun has taken relative to
the Oregon Boundary has arrested the negotiation
upon that question with Mr.. Pakenham. Nor
can it be resumed again until Mr.. Pakenham shall
have obtained further instructions from his govern
ment.
have but few remarks to make tonight upon
the above facts. One is to call attention to the
raordnary dispatch ESQ unlike Webster's negocia-
ton with Ashburton,) and energy, and decision OF
character exhibited by Mr.. Calhoun. 1t reminds
one of " Old Hckory's" administration. The peo-
pie like bold, prompt, and energetic leader, who
is not afraid TO assume the responsibility.
The fact that the Oregon negotiation has been
arrested by Mr.. Calhoun's position, leads me to
think he will not relinquish an inch of bona .fde
United States soil, and hence the difficulty. II
this be fact, the whole mighty west will fling up
their hats for JOY, and hoorG THAT'S Websters or

Doubtless the object of inserting the thirty days"
provision is to compel the Senate to act upon the
treaty before adjournment.
The facts respecting the interference of England
with Texas are of an astounding character, and
cannot fail to exasperate the people of this country
who will not allow foreign power to interfere in
a family quarrel between the United States and
Texas. | had some time since informed you OF
these facts
The treaty must secure the entire southern vote

notwithstanding. don't give this my opinion
but as fact.
In my previous letter to-day, strike out a note at
the bottom, in which express doubt about Cal

statement to read to that effect. This is specially
important.
