Referring TO the assertion Of the Delta that Texas
California, and New Mexico present examples in Al.
rect contradiction to our remarks on Mexico and
Central America, we reply that though analogous, they
are not parallel cases. Texas may be said to have
been substantially an American settlement at the time it
became member Of this confederation The number Of
Spanish settlers few in comparison with the North
Americans and the Indians, negroes and mongrels did
