deiying the power Of Mexico to ovcrihow
or recOnquPT her, for more than ten ears
before Mexico commenced the present
war against the United States. iex9s
had given such evidence 10 the worhl ol
her ability to maintain her separate exist

had been formally recognised as such, MOI
only by the United States, but BY several
Of the principal Powers OF Europe
These Powers had entered into treaties OF
amiiy. commerce and Navigation wl'h
her. They had received and acrred'e"
her ministers AMI other diplomatic agents
at their respective courts, and they hai
commissioned ministers and Diplomats
agents on their part to the government o,
Texas. IL Mcxir0, notwithstanding NIL
this, aud her utter inability to subduc or
reconquer Texas, still stubbOrnly refused
TO recognise her as an independent nalIon'
she was none the less so on that account
Mexico herself had been recognised as an
Independent nation by the United Sfst'S'
AND by other Powers, many years before
