whether, under such circumstances, calculated 70
excite the reasonable approximations OF the people OF
Texas and especially TO disturb the tranquility OF
the settlements along her western frontiers 1t would
not be alike proper and consistent for me uniled
States TO extend lis protection to this repuoiicf
The people Of Texas would regard the presence
Of the requisite force their frontiers IN no other
light than as an act of Justice and friendship, proper
y accorded during the tendency OF the measures ~
progress for annexation and as an indicauon oil the
aid Justly due them in the completionto the con-
stituona steps yet necessary to their admission INTO
the Union. .
The performance Of the conditions required by
the United States of Texas In acting upon the terms
of the overture for annexation, necessarily subjects
the people Of this republic to very onerous expenses
the burden of which operates with far greater sever
ty in consequence of the non-payment OF the sums
due to this government from the United States, for
claims arising in the of Snivey and the collec-
tora districts of Red river.
The undersigned cannot for a moment entertain
the belief that the United States will require that
Texas shall alone sustain these burdens; and espe-
cially in the event Of renewal of the war by Mex
leo, that this republic will be expected TO bear ex-
clusvely its burdens; since, in reality, such war
would be FASTENED and occasioned by the acts, and
aimed at the interests, no less OF the United States
than Of Texas.
To this subject the undersigned has, by the drec-
ton of the President solicited the attention Of the
Hon. Mr.. D.; and has been authorized by him to
say, that, in case of the anticipated emergency the
passage Of United States troops through the Texan
territory, to its western frontier, will be welcomed
and facilitated by the constituted authorities, well
us by the people of this country.
The undersigned renews to Mr.. Donelson the as
surances of his distinguished consideration and re-
gard, and remains his most obedient servant,

The undersigned, in submitting these observations
on the character of the proceedings on the part OF

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
WashinUton Teyaa Anril 16


Washington, Texas, April l6, 1845.
The undersigned, charge d'affaires Of the United
States has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the note addressed to him the l4h instant by the
Hon. Eben'r Allen, Attorney General of the repub-
lie of Texas, charged ad interim with the direction
of the Department Of State in to that of the
undersigned, transmitting the proposals from the
United States for the admission of Texas into the
Unien.
The determination of the President to convene the
Congress Of the republic Of Texas at early day,
for the purpose of consulting with that body to
the delibemtion and action due to these proposals
from the United States, is what the undersigned
pected. The contamination of this important meas
ure, changing, as it will the organic laws of the re-
public, necessarily requires the ratification and di-
recton Of the people, under such forms the exist
ing government may recommend; and the undersign-
ed is happy TO say to the Hon. Mr., Allen, that
this intiatory step, SO promptly taken by this gov
eminent, will not fail to be gratifying to the Pres
dent of the United States, who will see in it an as
that if the proposals for the reunion of the
two republics are adopted, the changes made neces-
sary thereby in the present constitution and govern
ment of Texas, will be effected with the camness
and deliberaton becoming the important subject.
And the undersigned takes pleasure in renewing
to Mr.. Allen assurances Of the great regard with
which he has the honor to subscribe himself his
obedient servant,
A. J. DONELSoN.
