To The Senior Editor:
send you an extract Of letter you addressed
Inc on The 18th Of June, 1886. Amongst other
things of interest is The following passage, giving
Il curious anecdote, and showing that your predl-
lection for the annexation OF Texas is not OF this
day only: Il wrote 10 Mr. V. B. on Thursday
about Texas. ] gave him long extract from
letter of r To-. L. had just dined
with Santa Anna on board the independence, and
after dinner was lett alone with Almone. The
Mexican Secretary had expressed preference
for an Intermediate Republic between Mexico and
the United States rather than an incorporation OF
Texas with the United States. But I. showed
him, and very justly, TOO, that Mexico would be in
less danger from us. with Texas at our heels than
lromthe Republic of Texas setting up for herself.
The former was not ambitious OF conquest; and
the good sense OF the whole American people
would check completely The spirit OF acquisition
among the Texans themselves whereas, II they
were left 10 themselves, that active, and rest

the mines and treasures OF Mexico TO new at

planted their own standard upon the Capitol OF

shaken-and it was said, that Commissioner
would be sent 10 the United States 10 ask their
aid as an umpire in the quarrel. go for the
annexation of Texas Do not Won? consider
it as but getting bark The country which Jefer-
son claimed, and which Adams gave way"
Here is evidence that in 1886 you saw ahead,
and made up your opinion-and it is now no al
ter-thought TO the times.
In the same letter you give Congress also
touch. You say, Congress will adjourn about
the 18th of July. The Surplus Rerenm will haunt
their last moments with fearful strnggle"-
Pretty much as the Harbor and River Bill did the
Senate and House, the week before last. Is il
not time that this system of legislation should be
