by them is much less exposed to the haz-
ard of ultimate defect.
That they are more simple in their char
acter, a very few remarks will suffice to
show. According 10 the resolution as it
came from The House. nothing more is
necessary Than that the Congress of Texas
should be called together, its consent given
to The provisions contained in il, and the
| adoption of a constitution by the people
in Convention, TO be submitted To- the
| Congress Of the United States for its ap-
proval, in The same manner as when one
Of our own territories is admitted as d
Stale. On the contrary, according to The
provisions Of the Senale's amendment, the
Congress of Texas must, in like manner
be convened, it must then 90 through The
slow and troublesome process ofcarVing a
Stale out of a part Of lis territory; after
wards it must appoint agents or commits
sioners TO meet similar agents or commits
s%ioners, to be appointed on our part, to
discuss and agree on The terms and condi-
lions on which The state shall be admitted
and the %ccssiou ofIhc remaining territory
10 the United Slales; and after all this, and
not befnre, the people Of the said stale
mus, call a convention, frame a consliIu-
lion. and then present il to the Congress
Of the United States for its approval, but
which cannot be acted on, until the terms
agreed upon by the Neso,iators, and which
constitute the conditions on which lhe
state is lo.be admitted, shall have been
ratified,
That They may be more readily, and
with less difficulty and expense carried
into effect, is plain from the fact, lha, the
details are fewer and less complex. Its
