To THE PRESIDENT JAMES X POLK
Though but an humble individual, none feels more
fully the great interest of the nation than him who now
addresses you. have with much surprise seen several
recent ntmations that the administration were about
TO settle with Mexico, taking basis the Rio Crande
and thence running across to the Pacific Ocean and
consequently not including Lower California IL this
should be done then will the results Of this be the
source OF future animadverson. The greatest
point to be accomplished is to obtain such perfect
control OF the Pacific coast as will preclude the posi-
by Of England contending with for the supre-
macy OF the Pacific Ocean.
We have now the most ample opportunity and means
LOT setting this question forever and It Is Indispensable
TO the fulment OF that object that possess Lower
California rs well as the upper province OF that
LOOK at the map. See Lower California, peninsula
uttng 900 miles into the Pacific with nnumerabe har
bors within the Gulf, and forming the most advanced
point on the high road to China and the East Indies
Great Britain or British subjects IL Is said, possess lien
or mortgage on the upper province and we possess
ourselves OF that alone how quickly will the acute states
men o. that country arrange with Mexico or Transfer
SION OF that most impora and commanding portion OF
the Pacific coast
And in perfectng this object, she will not only neu
trazs the benefits shall derive from the posses
sion Of Upper California but she will be enabled at all
times contend with for the supre
macy Of the Pacific and the commerce OF China and
other Asiaic countries The possession OF Lower Cali
forna by her would also lead to endless brols between
herself and us.
Possessing as we now do the most ample power TO set
tie this question forever shall IL hereafter be said that
government to the greatest national
interests to lose sight Of the most important point OF
all In the final settlement with Mexico! Every Amer-
well knows that Britain Is great competitor for
the Of the world and that she IL our deadly
enemy and continually striving TO the progress
OF our mighty country and to sap, II possible,
