In addition to the test imposed by pub
lie law as the condition of the recognition
of the independence of n neutral state
to wit, that the revolted state shall "con-
stltute in fact body polite. having a
government in substance as well as in
name. possessed of the elements of sta
bility," and forming de facto IF left to
Itself state among the nations, rea-
sonahIy capable of discharging the duties
OF a state, has imposed for its own gov
ernancc in dealing with cases like these
the further condition that recognition of
an independent state is not due to a re-
VOTED dependency until the danger Of
It's being again subiugated by the parent
state has entirely passed away" This ex-
IRENE test was, in fact, applied in the
case of Texas.
The congress to whom President Jack
son referred the question us one probably
leading to war, ana therefore an appropri-
ate subject for previous understanding
with That body by whom war can alone
be declared. and by whom all the provis-
IONS for sustaining its perils must be fur
nishcd. left the matter of recognition Of
lexaS to the discretion of the executive
providing merely for the sending of diplo-
matte agents when the president should
be satisfied that the republic of Texas had
become an "independent state"
IT was 80 recognized ny lfeSldent Van
Buren, who commissioned n charge daft
flares March 7, 1897. after Mexico had
abandoned an attempt to conquer the
Texas territory. ana then there was at the
uin" no bona tde contest going on be
tween the insurgent province and its for
mer SOVEREIGN.
