TO justify the claim"
In another paragraph it goes on 10 say
III is true thai, in 1886, The Congress OF Texas
passed an act designating the Rio Grante as IT.
Western boundary"
To make The ground taken by the Wing al all
enable, it would become Indispensable for il TO
show thai Mexico had acknowledged the right Of
Texas TO the country 5,ween the Sabine and the
| Nuccrs. and that Mexico had matc the war, 70!
the purpose of defending Inc territory in dispute,
as Mexico must become a party in the coago
