TIE MEXICAN pnorreToRArE, though parhaps 0
hopeless, 10 yet very interesting scheme. The
following sketch will show the views of Mr.. Hous-
ton, the mover Of the resolution In the Senate:
Mr.. Honston spoke In favor Of his bill for ex-
tending protectorate over Mexico. After point
ing out the difference between the northern and
southern bounding States of the Union, he went en-
TO define his plan and show the benefits that
would accrue both to the Union and Mexico. The
protectorate must be selfsupporting, the protected
paying the expenses, which she could do by as
signing her revenue for ten years.
Our gulf squadron is sufficient to protect her
commerce, and five thousand reliable troops ju-
diciously posted would preserve internal ord der.
Dir. Houston explained the circumstances under
which Mexico funded her debt of $4,000 001.
which is mostly owing to British creditors. All
that Great Britain can reasonably expect, in the
event of the proposed protectorate s that shall
see that the portion of the customs apart to-
wards the payment Of the debt aud dividends Is
faithfully appropriated to said purpose.
Mr. Houston proceeded at some length. and in
the course Of his remarks paid feeling tribute to
his former companions in the Senate, now all
passed away.
Mr.. Houston spoke more largely of the State
rights If Texas than of the protectorate, respect
ing which he said it might be either like the Ion
ian islands, or in a new form, but without exer-
cisin9 more authority than necessary.
The resolution says:-WheTea every attempt of
Mcxico to gulate her internal affairs results in
ailuTe and there il danger Of ii falling into aDaf-
ehy: and whereas the United States. account II
