Would it not be advantageous, in combating the
territory to recur often to the statesman like views Of
fathers in fixing the boundary Of the United States by
treaty in 1882
With population Of two millions on the margin OF the
Atlantic we insisted on the Mississippi river in the south
west and the Lake OF the Woods in the northwest as our
boundary out of which have four States in the
southwest and five States in the northwest With pop
ulaon of twenty millions and four States west OF the
Mississippi river there is better reason to insist on
California than had in 1885, to run back to the Mis-
sssippi and lakes.
These selfish, grovelng statesmen, who complain of
too much territory should be exposed in every way
When argument fails, try little ndicue. }. r.

to all who feel interest in learning or embracing
the truth i'm regard 10 this matter that there never

duced it-those who brought il about-and those who
effected the great result-that shall indulge in
out one reflection, as hope it may not be necessa-

Taking into view the geuius of the Texans and
the people of the United States-their identity of
character and the proximity of the two nations it
was most natural that they should become united
For years, neither political party of the United
States was willing to rely upon the measure for po-
litical capital. Texas had been urgent in her i'm
portunities for annexation, but they were disregard
ed. Gen. Jackson's letters brought the subject be-

anything less than the masses VI the two nations
In their action the people gave happy illustration
OF the genius OF our Institutions and of the omnipo

the public veal. Gen. Jackson's influence, arising
from his wisdom and feryid PATRIOTISM led the way
and gave more direction TO the measure, and to the
American feeling, than all other men. Others fol-
lowed where he led. The subject was of such

Among other instances in which its provisions

transfer million or two of dollars in Specie from
the Sub Treasury in New York to New Orleans

law, Ii deposited the amount in one Of the State
