the resolution To President Manraa Ths
| Independence of the South Americas
provinces was not in fact recognized bv
the President until some months later.
1havc been thus into the detail Of the
course pursued by this government in 70.
iation TO the revolutions in the South
American provinces because the resolution
OF Mr.. Clay, and the acton of the House
! In passing n, il sought to be made a pre-
cedent for similar action on the resolu ton
now before Us. The cases are, however,
in no respect parallel, as / shall show
further on.
The late presidents are instructive
enough To warrant recurrence to them.
In the case of Texas, the declaration of
independence was made in D,.eemb-r,
1885, after year of fighting. The battle
of San Jacinto was In April, 1896. and
practically ended the war, and Mexico did
not again invade Texas, though she srIll
refused 10 acknowledge It's Independence.
During the summer of 1886. eighteen
months after the commencement of the
war, and after every Mexican was driven
from the soil of Texas, Congress passed
this resolution:
"rhat the Independence Il Texas ought 20 lie
