Lower Sandusky freeman. (Lower Sandusky [i.e. Fremont, Ohio]) 1849-1849, 1849-02-24

of the original twelfth article thus suppressed by
the senate, is in the following language Certificates
in proper FORM for the said installments respect
ively in such sums as shall be desired by the Mexi-
can Government and transferable by it, shall be
delivered to the said Government by that OF the
United States
From this bare statement of facts the meaning
of the Protocol is obvious. Although the senate
had declined to create government STOCK ior the
twelve millions of dollars, and suue transferable
certificates for the amount in such sums as the
Mexican Government might desire; yet they could
not have intended thereby to deprive that Govern
ment of the faculty which every creditor possesses
OF transferring for his own benefit the obligation of
his debtor, whatever this may be worth, according
to his will and pleasure
1t cannot be doubted that the twelfth article of
the treaty, it stands, contains positive OBJ
ligation Sin consideration of the extension acquired
by the boundaries of the United States" to pay
the Mexican Republic $12,Oo0,0oo in four equal
annual installments of $3,0O0,0Oo each. This OBJ
legation may be assigned by the Mexican govern
ment to any person whatever; bnt the assignee in
such case, would stand In no better condition than
that government The amendment of the senate,
prohibiting the issue of government transferable
stock for the amount, produces this effect and no
more.
The Protocol contains nothing from which it can
be inferred that the assignee could rightfuly de-
mand the payment of the money in case the con-
sideration should fail which is stated ON the face of
the obligation.
With this view of the whole Protocol, and con-
sidering that the explanations which it contained
were in accordance with the Treaty, did not deem
it necessary to take any action upon the subject
Had it varied from the terms of the Treaty as
amended by the Senate, although it would even
then have been a nulity in ITSELF yet duty might
have required that should make this fact known
to the Mexican Government This not being the
case, treated it in the same manner would have
done had these explanations been made verbally
| by the Commissioners of the Mexican Minister
for Foreign Affairs, and communicated in Dis
patch to the State Department

sense of duty constrained me to yield to the wishes
of the people, May | not hope that those who
conferred this great honor upon me, without solci-
