This line of reasoning not the less Just and sound
because it may be nice and strict, disposes sasfac
torly Of the Mexican argument on the ground of the
treaty of amity, commerce and navigation-so far,
at least as have carried the reasoning 1t remains
then TO examine these considerations of fact and
right, on which must depend whether annexation
is, or is not, departure from the spirit of that
treaty.
And these hinge mainly on the question of the
legitimacy and completeness of the independence OF
Texas. If Texas is NOT really and truly indepen-
dent, bears towards Mexico the relation pretend
ed by the latter, of a merely insurgent province,
Justly liable to reconquest, and probably about to
be reconquered, then annexation would be an act
| of aggression upon Mexican territory, such as TO
! justify war. But if, on the other hand, Texas is
really and truly independent of Mexico, SO as to
bear no longer il ever she bore, such provincial
relation constituent and subject portion of the
Mexican territory, then annexation is no infringe
\ ment of any right of Mexico, and it is no just
reasonable cause of war How, then, stands this
| question OF fact-the fact of independence
i It may stand on either of two grounds, or it may
4 stand on them both united
j Either the Independence of Texas NAV be a SIM
pie contaminated fact--un fat accompii-respecting
which it would be immateral whether n lust moral
i right lay at its origin not It would be enough
that the thing were done-fnished- settled-be-
j yond any power of Mexico to undo t--Texas being
as powerful 10 repel invasion Mexico to attempt
i reconquest:
i Or, il may be moral right, unsupported, or only
doubdully supported, by an adequate physical force
for its maintenance against the wrongful menaced
| aggression.
i In either Of these two cases. the other nations of
the world have perfect right to assume the inde
pendence in question, and to act on that assumption
4 The former case needs argument, beyond its own
| statement Nor is the latter any less clear Take
the of Switzerland, rightfully independent Of
Austria Suppose it TO be wronfully menaced by the
! gigantic power of the latter, it would have per-
feet right TO incorporate itself into the realm of
France, and France would be therein acting perfect
| " in her right; to make declaration Of war
| by Austria against France act Of unmtgated
wrong and aggression, unjustfable to man, and un-
blessed by God.
To apply these principles to the case before us,
! we might stop at the frstnamed ground Of indie
pendence--namely, the unquestionable Independence
de Jacio. Or we might pass i over, and prove for
Texas as the other ground alone--namely, the in
dependence De tirs. Or, better still, we may show

converted into separate State, rightfully indie
pendent and sovereign, and entitled TO form any al
lance or union with us any other power, as il
may deem proper. As, by the establishment Of the
Independence ofMexico, our former boundary treaty
with Spain became Justly applicable to the new SOW.
ereignty, rghtfuy entitled to, and in fact possess
ing the country; now, by the subsequent es-
Enlistment of the Independence of Texas the Just
applicability of the boundary treaty with Mexico
becomes transferred TO the State, to which alone
it then has reference This branch of the Mexican
argument absurdly assumes that boundary treaty
is perpetual guaranty of the continued cohesion o
each others territory, 30 as in truth TO deny 10 either
the right ever TO recognise any separation of any
portion of the territory of the otherwhatever sub
sequent combination of circumstances may arise tc
cause and Justify il. So, in the case of proprietor
of adjacent landed estates, A and b, boundar,
line may at one period be agreed upon, with
mutual quit-claim and abandonment Of all an
terror rights or pretensions yet if third party,
should subsequently become vested with both lega
and equitable title and actual possession of Ger
tain portion Of the land of b, lying adjacent to tina
of A. it is very certain that A is guilty Of wrong
against B--no violation of the original quit-claim
agreement--by afterwards becoming the purchaser
Of the tract belonging to and held by G. Tha
agreement retains no further efficacy than fo
the protection Of against A, whom il still Restraints
from ranscendng the boundary line agreed upon
without the consent Of c, now become the owner o.
the adjacent tract. But why waste time and spac,
to illustrate truth 50 plain in tsef-that bound
airy treaty is no treaty Of guaranty for the future in
tegry Of the respective territories and that, while
il Is mutual abandonment Of all past or present
claims beyond the established boundary, il has nc
conceivable reference to any new rights which may
accrue 10 either party through subsequent events
by the introduction Of third parties into the relation
between the original twoi II boundary treaty is TO
lie construed into the effect claimed for il by the
Mexican argument, by what right could the very
treaty in question have been concluded between the
United States and Mexico, precluded as we were by
