In taking this step the administration of president Jackson renew w was supposed under More favourable attempt to Ace same object which had been to ils immediate predecessor. Lions similar in their general had in the second year of the i ministration been sent from apartment of state to the same minister at Mexico. I an that there were any Matej Ial differences them other to those of 1827 proposed an a territory As far West As tha being i believe the Western Boundary of Texas w a Sid for by president extended Only As far West As i of the desert or grand Prairi of River nieces for the payment of Ion of dollars was authorized the administration of Jackson the american mini permitted logo As High Safdi five millions.

I coated to the Domestic character of the territory states May he admitted by Tho re into the Union but no new the state became party questions and were contested with partisan warmth. Of the vital importance of i great acquisition to the safety Prosperity and. Honor of the whole Union there can however now be a diversity of Opin Ion. Bui the of the nation in the course of to be at divided upon the tonal Power to accept All lure clause guides than our own discretion we As we a itsume a minions upon a Power so Gene Al we Are at least bound to give intelligible and definite Chancie. The most natural and in deed the Only one of that nature which has been suggested and which was pre by or. Jefferson in Terra Ned double in re Speet 10 the con Stilu ional to admit Lousiana that the to be admitted must be firmed out4f territory not foreign but which constituted a part of the u. Slats Al the declaration of Independent a or the adoption of the con Litu far from there being any a language of the Cou Stith onto to be found in the extraneous circumstances which ded ind attended its adoption to thai i such was the intentions of is f amers1, they Are in my judgment strongly the other Way. In the the articles of confederation of which the Union was originally which gave place to the of and this sub Sii Lute was subsequently revised and amended so Aslo make it conform in its pin ideology to Ibe Section As it non stands in the Constitution. These proceedings show that the proposition to restrict the Power of admit new Stales territory within the original limits Lih cily adopted by it favor ibis of the United state was Dis before the convention once and finally rejected in a making the in general. Whatever Ferenc so in the r. Opinion May exist As 10 the propriety of referring to extraneous question of cons Titu a cession of to reign territory with a View to its ultimate admission into the Union. In 1819 the Spanish treaty for the cession of East and West Florida containing the usual stipulation for ultimate incorporation into the Union was ratified and upon the Call of the names of the senators present it appeared that every one voted Tor the ratification. Upon the of constitutional Power so far As thai Case went the Senate of the United states had therefore become unanimous. Certainly no remarks Are necessary to show that Here can be no possible difference produced in the Constitution question by the relative positions of the territory comprising , the Florida and Texas in respect to the i old United Stales. I have gone thus fully and minutely Matte the consist Union where its language in firs uni for St. Bit the d there can certainly no of Jec Lioi s to a resort to such aids to test the connective Ssofi inferences having no other basis than supposed Impero Babilis i have not been Able any other Salis Nten fion of the convention to give the of admitting new states to con exp Liei is o an re sent Constitution looked1 directly to a b order Extension of the confederacy.

Treaty , respect Lor that integrity of character by which the u. States have Southl to distinguish them selves since the of their i Juht to claim a place in the great family of Tho in general Hunt s letter that Texas might be induce to extend commercial advantages to other nations to the prejudice o the United Stales was Ihus noticed it is presumed however Lylial the motives by which Texas has been governed in making this overture will have equal Force in Impell ing her to preserve As an Independent Power the most Liberal commercial relations with the ignited states. Such a Dupo Silton will by. Cheerfully met in a corresponding this government. If the answer a Liili the in Jer signed has been i relied to give to the pro of general Hunt should unfortunately work such a change in the sentiments of that governs no As to Atje rapt to extend commercial relations elsewhere upon terms prejudicial to the United Stales this govern ment will be consoled by Ilia rect Ude of its Intelli Ida certainly that although the Hazard of transient losses May be incurred by a rigid adherence to just principles no lasting Prosperity can be secured when they Are that these views were not altogether Satis factory to general Hunt nor probably to his government has been seen. Bull think 1 May safely say that Ever has vision by this government of a question of e Hearty concurrence. From this act of our government just and proper in All respects As it was an inference has been drawn and brought to Bear upon the present not Only very far beyond ils real bearing Bat by which its Irue character is entirety reversed Many persons who enter upon the consider lion of the subject with the purest intentions and Are incapable of knowingly giving a false interpretation to any thing connected with it take it for granted that the United slates in recognising the Independence of the Sas declared to the world nut Only Bat she was in but also that she was Stich of right. Acting upon Thi erroneous construction Ibey very naturally conclude that hav ing gone thus far having examined into and passed not Only upon the existence of her in dependence but also upon her right to its enjoyment it is now and More especially after the lapse of the several years Loo Lale to he s the question of annexation or the ground of any existing controversy upon those Points. The fallacy of this reasoning will be apparent when it is considered that the usage of nations to acknowledge the government de Facto of every country was established for the express purpose of avoiding All inquiry or the expression of any opinion upon Law ques Ion of ight Between the contending 1 lies acknowledge no other Power in any m Dis Wilh the same the with no other limitations than which Are specified in that Inspru the language of certain restrictions the subsequent exclusion of grew Hose Peci adopt Hafiz which is now referred to together with Tion to Combine to Render this interpretation of the a Constitution the True one.
