This may be- true, for there positive limits
10 the folly nf such Government that of Mexico
Il may have declared war, because the United States
has consented that fEXAs may, if she pleaSes hele-
after, become, certain conditions. "A member oil

thereby assumes that consent to treat win texas
upon footing OF absolute soyereignly-iorii LeS"S pe
independents the right to treat or contract on any
subject is absolute cause Of war Annexation

follows Ihat Mexico demands withdrawal of that
no annexation-and that she
has SET about forcing The withdrawal from the United
States. The whole is too absurd 10 be truc--but il
irrational than she has been supposed to be.
We are very increduous still, and aha Il hardly be-
ieve that Merico intends war, ii she has declar

at tins time at least, meager that shall be in

is already assured of s1me interposiiion media

il dead earnest. The difficulty would he, that no
other Government could have the face TO ask tie
United States to withdraw ills offers take Texas
in the Union, in other words, renounce ts right
to deal with Texas as an established Government.
