am pleased, however, in entertaining the hope
and belief that your Exeelleney's successor, Of
whose character and talents you justly speak so
highly, entertains the conviction upon which your
Exeeilency with rare penetration and generous
mind has always acted, that 1t Is for the true in
terests OF the United States and Mexico that their
reciprocal relations be those of sister Republics.
In this way also the political principles which dis
tinguish them from the great powers Of Europe
can be best subserved. In any case. however, \
will hope that your successor, Mr.. Weller, Will be
| to Mexico the same good friend your Ezcellency
has shown yourself to be.
/ take this occasion, also, in Feciprocat10n q
your friendly sentiment, to express the hope tina,
peace may continue unhroken as before IN the
United States, and that, if it be necessary, the Con
stitution may be remodeled in legal way, always
respecting the dignity of the people and the peace
of the world, as only by this can liberty ana ths
rights of man be preserved.
