less exacting than that sent by Senior Atocha.
We give it in another part of this paper, in

explanation by which Mr.. Atocha quaiitiess
the Mexican statement of his offer. 1t is said
that the new offer requires less. 1t also ap-
pears that it offers more money and that our
Polk administration is trying to buy land by
means of military compulsion. Twenty mil
lions of dollars, it seems, would be paid for

but we must now convince ourselves OF the
propriety of surrending our claims to that

our theory, the inhabitants have right to
