American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper., 1845-04-28

nexaton of the Department of Texas to the
American Union.
TO present, IN all IT'S deformty, this ac; Of
the Congress and Government of the u. States,
the alarming consequences of its conduct TO-
wards the Mexican Republic. would be a useless
labor, inasmuCh as this note is addressed to the
representative OF nation as ilustrious as il is
powerful, which, sustaining nobly the rank
which it occupies in the world respects the
laws OF comfy buena amistad between foreign
nations, and POUNDS its glory upon the mmuta-
ble titles Of morality and Justice. The Govern
ment of the undersigned has no occasion to ex-
hbt all the grounds upon which it relies for
its resistance Of this measure Of Annexation, as
they are obvious and known to all, and as the
feeling excited among friendly nations, and
even those which have no official relations with
Mexico, will have found upon learning Of
measure so injurious and offensive to Mexico
and so utterly unworthy the horor huem nom
bre] of The United States.
But the undersigned will take occasion TO
observe &c his ExccIency, Scnor --, that the
Americas Government having been tho first to
acknowledge the independence of the Republic
of Mexico, showing itself Il Jealous partzan of
liberty, has been the only one which has cn-
dcavorcd to usurp portion of her territory
He would also add, that, as it appears from re-
cent declarations, the designs of the u. States
have been as old as the friendship, winch 1t was
sought to con6rm-frst, by treaty of amity,
and by another tor the adjustment Of bounda-
ries-whch has now been completely violated
In aiding Texas to sever herself from the Re-
public, the United States were wanting in good
faith; bat in aiding to incorporate Texas with
the American Confederation, and declaring that
this has been her policy for twenty years, she
has pursued a course which has no parallel in
the history of civilized nations,
Mexico, to avoid differences which for the
most part had no foundation in Justice AS a.
ganst her, has submitted to serious compro-
misses; she has overlooked provocatons and in
juries, and has preserved her loyalty with such
fidelity as to give her more right-if the right
she possesses can be increased--to speak out
and protest, as the undersigned now does, a.
ganst the Annexation oe Texas to the United
States, and against all its consequences. The
Mexican Republic will employ in opposition to
this measure, her power and her resources, and,
trusting in the justice her cause, does not fear
TO give assurance, that whatever may be the
result, she will preserve the honor which at
any cost she ought to defend in the very grave
matter under consideration.
win TINS view the undersigned requests his
Excellency, Senor -, to give this protest its
proper direction, and at the same time to ac-
cept the assurances of his most distinguished
consideration. LUIS G. CUEVAS.
