Joint communication from Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Mason and
INV self imbodying the result Of deliberations the
subject about which had been desired to confer to-
gether.s
The issues with reference to which instructed
express Judgment Of too momentous an in-
port all the discernment and discretion IN our
power and IL with deep Of solemn response

dangers which the question presents and you VIII see
that they have not hestaed TO join me IN the expression
Of sentiments according strkingiy with the ntimatons

do not know if we shall be found sufficiently explicit
in the language through which have attempted TO con-
vey impressions trust however, that il win be
found sufficiently free from ambiguity 10 leave no room
even for doubtas to its true meaning.
The question of the acquisition OF Cuba by is gaining
ground as grows be seriously agated and
sidered Now is the moment for us to be done with il
for if delay its solution, viii certainly repent that
let escape the res opportunity could ever be nr-
nshed with of bringing il to decisive test
Present indications would 10 encourage the hope
that may come to that solution peaeeably.
But if il otherwise If il is to bring upon us theca-
lamity of war let il be while the great powers OF
this continent engaged in that supendous struggle
which but engage all their strength aud tax all
their energies long as lasts and may before u ends
convulse them all.
Neither England nor France would be likely interfere
with us.
England could not bear be suddenly shut ont of
market and see her manufactures paralyzed by
temporary suspension of her intercourse with US.
And France with the heavy task her hands and
when she eagerly aspres TO take her seat as the ae
knowedged chief of the European family would have no
inducement the burden of another
motive repne seeing that took in keeping the
destnies the New World she viii have those of
