"My great interest in Mexico dates
back to the war between the United
States and that country. My in
terest was increased when four
European IuOnarchies attempted to
set up their institutions on this
continent, selecting Mexico, q terri
tory adjoining us. 1t WAS an outrage
on human rights for foreign nation to
attempt 10 transfer its institutions and
rulers to the territory OF civilized
people without their consent. They
were fully punished for the crime.

Under our restrictive constitution we
might not be able to issue bonds or
other obligations for this additional
sum, but the present outlook is that
the increased value of the lands, $780,
900 acres, would much more than pay
it, if the present firm should throw up
the work.
In any event, we may say
that we feel quite certain that our
Texas capitol will yet be built of Texas
stone, and that in the coming time
those who have been instrumental in
this will win the gratitude of our pos
terity as well as those living on the
day on which the grand structure
shall be completed.
