Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-01-08

Suites, who cannot, and does not, know
any distinction between the geographical
sections of the Union, charges wholly un
founded are made against paricua
States, and an appeal to others for aid an,
protection ogalns supposed wrongs Ii
this same connection, sectional preiudi
ces are attempted to be excited, and the
hazardous and objectionable effort ismadt
to ioment divisions among the States o
the Union, thereby to embitter thei
peace. Mexico has still to learn, thai
however freely we may indulge in discus
sion, among ourselves, the American peo
pie will tolerate no interference in theil
domestic affairs by any foreign Govern,
ment; and in all that concerns tho consli.
tutional guarantees and national honor,
the people of the United States have but
one mind and one heart.
Tho subject of Annexation addresses
ltsei: most fortunately to every portion oil
the Union. The Executive would have
been nnmindiul of its highest obligations,
if it could have adopted course of pol.
icy dictated by sectional interests aud 10
cal feelings On tho contrary, it was be-
cause the question was neither local nor
sectional, but made its appeal to the in
tetests Of the whole Union. and of oyery
State in the Union, that the negotiation,
and finally the treaty of Annexation was
entered into; and it has afforded me no
ordinary pleasure TO perceive that, so far
as demonstrations have been made upon
II by the people, they have proceeded from
all portions of the Union. Mexico may
seek to excite divisions amongst us, by ut
terlng unjust donunciations against paric-
ular States, but when she comes to know
that the invitations addressed to our fellow.
citizens by Spain, aud afterwards by her.
self to settle Texas, were accepted BY
emigranls from all the States; and when,
in addition TO this, she refreshes horre.
collection with the fact that the first effort
which we made to acquire Texas was
during the administration Of distinguish.
cd citizen from an eastern State. which
was afterwards renewed under the auspi-
ces Of President from the southwest,
she will awake to knowledge of the (l.
uIlly OF her present purpose of sowing
discussions among us, or producing dis.
traction in our Councils by attacks either
on particular States, or on persons who
are now in the retirement of private life.
Considering the appeal which she
now makes to eminent citizens by Aame,
can she hope 10 escape censure for hav.
ing ascrlbed 10 them as well as to Others
a design, as she protend5 now, for the
first time revealed, of having originated
negotiations 10 dispoil her. by dupIicily
and ialsehood, of portion OF her terri.
tory? The opinion then, as now, pre-.
vailed with the Executive, that the Annex
alton of Texas to the Union was a matter
Of vast importance. In order to acquire
that territory before it had assumed DO.
sltion among the independent powers Of
the earth, propositions were made 10 Mex.
leo for cession Of it to the United States.
Mexico saw in these proceedings, at the
time, no cause Of complaint, She is now,
when simply reminded Of them, awakened
to the knowledge Of the fact, which she,
through her Secretary Of State, promul.
gates to the whole world as true, that those
negotiations we're founded in deceptions
and falsehood, and superinduced by unjust
and lniquitous motives.
While Texas was dependency Of
Mexico, the United States opened nego-
-iations with the latter power for the COS.
sion Of her then acknowledged territory,
and now that Texas is independent Of
Mexico, and has maintained separate
existence for nine years--during which
time she has been received into the fami.
y Of nations, and is represented by &C.
credited ambassadors at many Of the prin.
cipal Courts Of Europe--and when it has
become obvious 10 the whole world that.
she is forever lost to Mexico, the United
States is charged with deception and
ialsehooj in all relating to the past, and
condcmnalory accusations are made A.
gainst States which have had no special
agency in the matter, because the Eyecu.
