duce 1t to It's former condition. The distinction,
however, is one early, clearly, asserted and AM

IN consistency with the republican idea OF Govern

Navy Island, had Mackenzie & Co maintained
themselves there for any considerable time; bu, If
we had proceeded 10 annex 1t and them 20 our
own territory, ,ha, would have been different al
fair altogether.
However independent Texas may be, there can
