The ratification ofthe Treaty will no

the proposition would perhaps have been
defeated. and in the opinion Of Mr. Nc.
Lane this would have been the result.

which the United States would nop accept,
are the Rio Grande for boundary, and
payment Of reclamatinns. There is no
reason TO believe. however, that the Uni;
