 The pnrt taken by England and France in this oues,ion-(or we are happy find that The most tire concurrence prevails between the tao great pow CTS by which Texas was first recognized in Europe -has been dictated by no such selfish ni exclusive objects. T, them individually the annexation of Texas o6 70 very lO mdable dangers, and her in depende . fomIses very certain or conspicuous advantages. But they are actuated by sincere de- sire t0 upho in America that respect for territorial rights which IS the only basis al peace; and in maintaining the independence of Texas they may hope tO establish an important element in the dis trihution of power over North America. There, as well as in Europe an universal dominion is imprac. ticable.
 If, however, ihe annexation party be successful, and the patriotic intentions of the President are de- fealed by the foreign party in the commonwealth of Texas Una, result only opens the door la fresh diff cules and 10 difficulties of the most serIous chardc. ter The claim of the United States to Texas is a claim sl"diousy undehned, purpotely obscure, but once admitted, il would be lound 10 embrace the distant objects of An erlcan ambition even the shores of the Pacific. Already several attempts have been nude by lhe Ministers and officers of the Uni ted States to obtain the cssslon o the great harborB on the coast of California. In 1885, Mir. FoRsYTHE offered to the Mexitan Government five millions of dollars for the port of San Francisco-- of ihe finest naval positions in the world ;-and lew years later an American commodore actually seized on some prstent led rumur Oi war with MeSicO the town and hnTbOr of Monterey.

On all these points the same unlimited spirit o aggrandzenent prevails For the protection of the British domin- iuns in North America ample means exist; and m deed the possession of the Oregon territory by the Hudson's Bay Company. under tho joint conditions of the Convention o 1913, is practically conclusive on the point.
