Resolced That the improprietv and inexpedency
of the annexation of Texas to the United States op.
pose insuperable objections to its admission into tile
Union; and that the silly representation of federal
presses, that the democratic party are in alliance
with the slave power of the South, in systematic
design to effect the admission of Texas is entirely
unsupported by any facts or by the slightest ndica
tions in any quarter. giving such supposition the
appearance of truth and IS therefore, q wilful and
deliberate fabrication of the federal party for base
and partisan purposes"

like copy to each Senator and Representative in
Congress from Massachusetts,
The democracy Of Massachusetts regarded
the admission Of Texas into the Union as
dangerous to its perpetuity, and under no
circumstances whatever could they consent to
it.
Ex-President Van Buren, in letter to Mr..
lIammett, under date Of April 20, 1874, OPP
posed annexation, because, in his Judgment,
it would involve US in a war with Mexico.
And the Washington Globe of the first of
May, 1874, contains the following editorial
article:
,Wo concur with Mr.. Van Ruror follv and cor
dalv in this view, and saw it is the only wise hon
orabie, safe, and practicable course. Mexico and
Texas are now at VAR the annstice admits it, "a

ourselves the business of its conclusion, either by
negotiation or by arms 1t requires no declaration
