eminent had made to that of Texas, through
Cant. Elliott, on condition that Texas should

now appears that Capt Elliott has not made
or been authorized TO make any offers Of the
kind.

one which secured "he Institution of Sla-

division of Texas into slave and non-slave

was in their opinion a little too much to asl,
