statesman.

greatly in the balance OF Mexican negotiations.
Should il even remain imperative, this idea would yet
form powerful palliative to Mexican dsrust and pride,

this hope might easily become a reality if the
United States should take in hand actively and sin

America Extending herself from the Rio Grande to the
Lake of Nicaragua, Mexico would be both stronger and
