The President further adverts in his message to the
met that Texas had by the final action Of the Congress
OF the United S0tes, become integral part OF the
Union But 1t is manifest that the integrity Of this part
OF the Union must be decided by the geographical posi-

moral sympathy in any quarter. II is matter of
historical record that when the signatures the act Of

The Committee OF the South American and Mexican
Association respectfully bring these circumstances
der the notice OF her Maesys government in the hope
that it shall appear impartial view Of the political
relations between the United States and Mexico, that
there Is no cause Of rupture between the two parties,
but such friendly and respectful interposition Of
good offices might remove. Her Majesty's government
may deem expedient to endeavor in that character to
put end to state of hostility between the two repub
lies, harassing and injurious to both

trust that that motive comprehends nothing that Is not
in accordance with the general interests OF civilized

Of peace is so generally and practically recognized by
the powers OF Europe, it cannot be out Of place for
Englishmen to express hope that between the repub-
