the treaty, of British interests in California
and Texas.
The Mexican Empressario grants in Tex.
as, prior to 1886, amount to great many
millions of acres, and were expressly de-
clared null and void by the Legislature Of
Texas, and Texas, as far as that point is
concerned, will never consent to such a
stipulation.
The archives of California, which have
been examined by Mr.. Benton, in the ,esti-
mony in the Fremont case, which has come
before him as chairman of the committee
recently appointed for that purpose, will
show that about 30,000,00O acres are deed
ed away, principally or altogether to Brit
ish subjects. This is another point that
will be objected to, as also the article which
gives up the custom houses TO the Mexican
government Immediately after the exchange
of notifications.
On all these points have reason 10 be-
to allow the Senate the largest liberty. In
deed he is himself opposed to some if not
all of their provisions, though imagine lie
is willing TO accept the aduice Of the Senate
,ohateuer 1t may be.
You may rely on the fact that the Ad.
ministration is sincerely wishing for peace,
and that it will end the war if it is possible
for them TO do so. Mr.. Polk is essentially
peace President, though he would not al
low spot on the national escutchcon.
The treaty will be cursed in the begin
ming, and praised and elaborated in the end
Many there are now entirely opposed TO
the treaty, in principle or otherwise, will
vote for it when the alternative shall be pre-.
sented to them in the issue of peace or
war
But there are those who, like Sam. Hous.
ton, will oppose it out and out, whatever
the consequences may be, or who would be
willing to command the army if the war
were to be renewed
P. S.--The provinces of Tamaulpas
and Nueva Leon have protested against the
treaty, and want TO be annexed to the I'm.
ion. Sinor Cerra, the commissioner from
Yucatan, now here in Washington, has al.
so protested against it in the name of his
own State, or is about TO do so shortly
On this you may rely. If peace is conclu.
ded, goodly number of Mexicans will be
surrendered by us to their worst enemies
and they will have cause to repent of their
having favored the United States.
