three thousand men, placed upon the border adjacent to
Texas, will be prepared to act without moments de-
lay within the territory Of Texas: as circumstances may

The President of the United States feels in all their
force the obligations which enoin upon him a sacred
duty the defence Of Texas after she shall have accept

Of formal admission by the passage Of the usual decara
tory law in the situation that many Of the present
states ofthe Union were when they had complied with
the preparatory preliminary conditions required by
Congress, but were not yet actually received into the
family OF States Like those States she will have fulfilled
all the requstons Of Congress- and in respect to the
dissnilarty in the situation growing out Of her previous
separate nationality the only effect be- to increase
III this were Possible the obligation upon Congress to
pass the pledged law for her admission; because in
changing her nationality for that the e pi6us unmm
Of the federal Union, she will have been subjected to
greater burdens and, in of disappointment wouid
