 LEGATION OF THE U. STATES,
 Washington Texas, June 13, 1915. undersigned, charge d'Anairs of the Safes, has the honor to invite the at- .a T the Hon. Mir. Allen 10 the alleged soos which exist to the proposals con- 1io G fbe joint resolution for the annex If Texas to the Union, and to the ex- which arc inseparable from her ac- ,r,e and execution of these proposals. g,s the object of the undersigned, when st tnresented the resolution, to show the ,isr of adhering to its first and second ans as the basis of annexation; leaving 4 view, as impracticable and inexpedi- <, tbird or last section. Further refec- confirms the correctness of that posi- ,ad 1t is now conceded that the course api is the oue most acceptable to Texas .f Both in the United States and here, saies seem to have come to the conclu- hat, on the basis of the first and second 0ns, inc proposed union ought to take and that 1t is better to leave the cor n of such defects as they may contain, are legislative agreements after Texas have become 9 State, than to attempt il Eat these defects arc, and what the rem soagbtto be, a little time and experience oon develop; and it is always safe to orthese guides, if they can be obtained but too much present sacrifice. Thus, bstanding the objections existing in asis selected, they may be more man. P, and less hazardous to. the suc- j the emeasure, than any remedies which HOW be supplied. If that basis be ac- by Texas, 1t secures her admission ie Union with the least possible delay zpnse, and 1t leaves the objections to gated hereafter, when they can be ex- elwithoat prejudice, with all the fnfor- land light which can be collected from cords and experience of both countries. he admission of Texas as a State, the acllement engendered by the discus- the measure, will have passed away; l have representatives in both houses agress, to explain her wanis; aud 1t 5e expected that, with the accession argea territory 10 the limits of the will come those good and liberal which have never yet failed to aatonal measure, once consummated, Plort and protection of all parties. nor emitted injustice or injury, sectional adqal, to remain a blot upon the es- |oa of the Union. In proportion, then, las has suffered from the delay of the rWhlch Is 10 restore her 10 the bosom natural friends-in proportion as her to achieve and maintain her in- sace has exposed her 10 mereiless as- fom Mexicans and savages, may she to have the noble band that I6dgHt lies honefed and rewarded, and all s Of her success in war and in peace by the sympathy, and compensated love and admiration of happy and people.

Il Is obvious that the ex- d burdens of wars with these h. aaoi and will not be borne by Tex
 and yet 1t is equally obvious that ad States, when held responsible for llrol and guardianship, should be so aey are allowed to introduce amongst indian policy, which, with the con ae other States of the Union, after 1Penence, has been adopted, and is much admired. It has been found
