TIE ANIMATION OF TEvts
: Texas was from the first rock Of OF
: f~nse to New ENGLAND. Mr.. Monroe, v h.
regards our title 10 it ss iniisputable. WI,
persuaded by Mr. Adams to give it up L
Spain BY the treaty ef Florida The New
England men threatened dissolution Shcu!
Texas net be given up. Said Mr. M"n
roc in one IT his letters nn the subject: -
:" TIE difficulty Is oI'rqe'her fatsrn1i a.,
of tie n'os' distressing "aturs and oun9sr
'ors tcndenry"
And what was that difficulty? IT,
/ Eastern Fcd"ralis:s menar"d the Union il
! MIR. Monroe admitted Texas into h. In
ism! Mr.. Monroe was deferred By these
'rer:ccs Of ';isurion. Mr. J. O. Adam:
was in his Cabinet and he knew th. de-.
! signs of the Boston Fcdcralists. VIA,
rhcre designs were Mr. Adams hinsel,
subsequently developed in his attack upo,
th Hartford Convention.
This difficulty about Texas again broke
ont after the establishment of her indcrci.-
dtnce, and when she applied for admi<-
si1'n into the Federal Union. This de-
! veloped afresh the sectioualism and seces-
s'oa,ism of New England. and here We
have to note u change of opinion on the
part Of Mr.. Adams He now makes his
appearance as one Of the New gland
agItators.
In speech on the 9Th of November,
1874, at Bridgewater. Mass. Mr.. Adams
said in relation to the annexation of Tex
as. 1.-The whole transaction was aagrant
Ta.a.ion efthc Co:ss;.atica, and its coz
su,n,nasion. had it te effected. yordd
hare Leep asrlf dis..lu!iom Of the Union =
This was said after the rejection of the
treaty and before annexation by resolution
Of Congress.
In 1874, Mr. Adams and thirteen Cen
gressnen issued most elaborate paper,
addressed Ito the people ofth. Free States
of the Union The .|asi"nh Im.Nigen-
Ger, in which it appeared, expressed re-
luc'ance in publishing it. because of the
address which it bears To the people of
q portion only of the United States
AT meeting in Milford Mass. on 25th
of March, 1874. violent secession resolu-
tions were passed.
In March. IS45, the Boston Post
said -

The Eusson Ahas. on the 2f;h D-cen.-

The following is also Of that party:
I'VE shall certainly consider the an

hend that such a vast addition 10 our ter

John Reed, Lieut. Governor 6: Massa-
churets. on August 4, 1914. said
1t must be understood thas the free
States Will neither consent nor submit to
the anuexstirn Of Texas to this Union.
