Finds the United States Government to the costly
and almost impossible Obligation to protect the

The boundary line, which gives the United States
strip of territory sufficient to form new State

This is one Of the most important treaties yet
NEGOTIATED by the United States. The success of
the negotiations is mainly due to the honorable
frankuess Characteristic of American diplomacy
with which Gen Gadsden approached the Mexl-
can Government This frankness was met in a
corresponding spirit of magnianmity by the distin-
puisbed head CT the Mexican government Gen.
Santa Anna. IN his negotiation with the American

The Gadsden treaty is the first result in our For

President Pierce. The administration was tortu-
nate in its selection of Gen. Gadsden as Minister
