But it appenrs that I was mistaken. To the astonishment of the wlmle nation, we ate now informed that a treaty of annexation lias been actually concluded, and is to be submitted to the Senate fur its consideration. The motive* fur my silence, therefore, no I nget trmsin, anti I feel it to be my duty to pre sent an exposition of my views and opinions upon the question, for what they may he worth, to the public consideration. I adopt this method as being more convenient than several replies to the respective com munications which I have received. I regret that f have not the advantage of a view of the treaty itself, so as to enable m<- to adapt an ex pression of my opinion to the actual conditions and stipulations which it contains. Not possessing that oppnitunily. lam constrained In lieat the question j ,'ij,i n,tt remove^ all loreigifliitiKuiiie*'. oVVltVa according to n hat I piesunte tube the terms of tbe treaty. If, without the loss of national character, without iliehazndof foreign war, with the gcnetal concurrence of the nation, without any danger to the integrity of the Union, otiil without giving on unrea sonable price for Texas, the question of annexation were presented, it would appe-ir itt quite a diilrrenl light from that in which, I apprehend, il is now to be regarded. Tue United States acquired a title to Texas, ex tending. a* l believe, to the Kin del Norte, by the treaty of Lnuioitna. They ceded and relinquished ilial title to Spain by the treaty of 1319^ by which the Fabine was substituted for the Rio del Norte as our western boundary. This treaty was negotiated iegsaa»ita*'j*a!e&gt»exi»BBk«g«w».'g3»»a . under the Administration of Mi. Monroe, and with without admitting the justice of the charge, it must be owned that wo have made vast acquisitions of ter ritory tvithin the Inst forty years.

Crawford, Calhoun, anil Wirt, being a majority, all Southern gentlemen, compostd a part. When the peatv was laid before the House of Representatives, Ining u member of that body, I expic*sed the opinion, which I then ente>taincd. and still hold, that Texas was sacrificed lo the acquisition of Florida. We wanted Florida; hut I thought it must, from its posi tion, ine* itaMy fall into out possession; that the point of a few years, sooner, or later, was of no sort of con sequence, and that in giving five millions of dollars and Texas fin it, we giro more than oju-t equiva lent. But. if we made a great sacrifice in the sur render of Texas, we ought to take cate not to make too gteat a sacrifice in the attempt to re-orquire it. My opinions of the inexpediency of the treaty of 1819 did not prev.it. The country and Congtes* were satisfied with it, appropriations were made to carry it into cflert. the line of ihe Sabine was re- cogni.-ed by us t S Our boundary, in negotiations both with iSpain and .Mexico, after Mexico In-catne inde pendent, and m asures have Iteen in actual progress to mark the line, frnro the Sabine to Red river, and thence to the Pacific ocean. vVc have thus fairly alienated our title to Texas, by solemn national com pacts. to the fulfilment of which we stand bound by good frith and national honor. It is, therefore, per fectly idle and ridiculous, if not dishonorable, to talk of resuming our title to Texas, as if wo had never patted with it. We can no more do that than Spain can resu n° Florida. France Fmirisiaria, or (ireat Brit ain the thi teen colonies, now composing a part of the United States, During the administration of Mr. Adams, Mr. Poin sett, Minister of the United Elates at Mexico, was in structed by me, with the President’s authority, to pro pose a re-purchase of Texas; hut be forltoro even lo make ah overture for that purpose. Upon his return to Ihe United Slates, ho informed me, ot New Orleans, that his reason fur not making it tyas. that he knew the purchase was wholly impracticable, nnd that he was persuaded that, if he made tbo overture, it would have no other effect than to aggravato irritations, al ready existing, upon matters of difiercncc between the two countries. The events which have since Jranspired in Texas are well known. Mho revolted against the Govern ment of Mexico, flew to arms, and finally fought att|| won the rarmorahle battle of (ran Jacinto, annihilating a Mexican army and making a Captive of the Mexican President. The signal success of that Revolution was greatly aided, if not wholly aelm-ved, by citizens ol ihe'United Slates who had migratrd to Texas Tltrse succors, if they could not atw/ys he prevented by the (iiivcrfintcnl of the United Slates, were furnished in a manner an,'to an extent which brought upon us some national reproach in the eyes of an impartial world. And. in my opinion, they -impose on us the obligation of scrupulously avoiding the imputation of having instigated and aided the Revolution with the ultimate view of territorial aggrandizement. After the battle of San Jacinto, the United States recogni-ed the independence of Texas, in conformity with the principle and practice which have always prevailed in their councils of recognising the Govemnirnt "de facto.” w ithout regarding tlte question dejure. That ■ecognition did not ofieet or impuir the rights of Mexi co, or change the reliti-ms which existed between her and Texas. She, on the contrary, has preserved ull her rights, and has continued to assert, and so fitr as I know yet assert*, her right lo redure Texas to obedi ence, as a part of the Republic of Mexico. According to late ii tdiigcnce, it is probable that she has agreed upon a temporary Suspension of hostilities; hut, if that has been done, 1 presume il is with the purpose, upon the termination of the armistice, of renewing the war and enforcing her rights, as she considers them. infilled to the t on of that assent, the question would be i I'omeslic considerations which belong toil, embracing the terms and conditions upon which aaMtxtttiun is pro posed. 1 do not think that Texas ought to be received into tlte Union, us nil integral pari id', in decided opposi tion to ihe wishes ol n oonsidendde and respet-'.nbio poiliuti of the Confederacy. I think it far mote w ise nml important lo compose nnd bum viiize the present Confederacy, ns it now exists, than to introduce a new element ol discord trad distraction into it. In my hum- bfe opinion, i’ should lie the constant a ad enrnert en deavor ot American statesmen to eradicate prejudices, to cultivate mid foster concord, mid to produce general contentment among all paita of our Confederacy. And true wisdom it seems to n.e, points to the duty t,f render ing its present members happy, prosperous,.-rad satisfied with each other, rather than to attempt to introduce, alien members, against the common con.-, nt nnd with the. certainty of deep lUtsuliflactipn. Air. Ji fteison ex pressed the opinion, and olheis believed, that it neter was in Die contemplaiiim ol the frau era ofihe Constitu tion to adt! foreign territory, to the Confederacy, out of which new Stales were to fie framed. The acquisitions of Louisiana aud Florida may he defended upon the pe culiar ground ofthe relnlinn in which they stood to the Stutes of the Union. After they were admitted, we might well pause awhile, people our vast waste*, de velop our resources, prepare the means of dtfeuding what we possess, anti augment our stieugth,power, nnd grettlness. If hereafter further territory should he wanted for an increased population, we need cnieitain apprehensions hut that it will lie acquired by means, it is to he hoped, fair, honorable, nnd constitutional. It is useless to disguise that tiiere are those wl o es pouse nnd those who oppose the annexation of Texas upon Ihe ground of tbe ioflueo e which it would exert, in the balance of politieal power, between two grant sections c r the Unitru. 1 conceive that no motive fi r the acquisition of foreign territory would be more unfortu nate, or pregnant with more fatal, consequence*, than lint, of obtaining it for the purpose of strengthening one patt against anotcr part of lira con man Confederacy. .Such a principle, pot into j ractirnl operation, would menace the existence, if it did not certainly sow the seed* of a dissolution of ihe Union, it would he to proclaim to the world an insatiable and unquenchable thirst for foreign conquest or acquisition of territory For if to-day Tcxur lm acquired to strengthen one part ol the Confederacy, to-morrow Canada may he required to add strength to" another. And «fiei that might have hern obtained, still other arid further Acquisitions would become necessary to equalize nnd niijust the balance of politic hi power. ' Finally, in the progress ol thi spirit of universal dominion, the part of ilir Confederacy which i-r now weakest, woultj find itself still weaker from the impossibility of securing new tl.entrfs for those peculiar institutions which it is charged with being de- sirotr* to extend. But would Texas, ultimately, really and strength to that which is now considered the'weakest part oCJIm Confederacy? If nty information l e comet it would not. According lo that, the territory ofTrxns i J sus ceptible of a division iuto fite .Staler of < ontrnient size nnd form. Of these, two only would he adapted to those peculiar institufhitis to which I hive referred, end the. other three. Ii iog west nml north of San Antonio, being only minuted lo farming and grazing purposes, from thn nature ol IhVir soil, climate, arid prudiu tiuu--. would not admit of those institution*, in the end, tf-drelitre, lliero would be twoslavennd three free. States prolmblv added to the Union. If this view of the soil nr.d geography of Texas he correct, it might serve to diminish the zeal both of those who oppose and those who are urgihg an nexation. Should Texas be annexed to the Union, tint United States will assume nml become responsible lor the dr bt of Texas, be its amount wlrsl it may. \\ lint it is, 1 i!,r not know certainly; but the least I have seen it stated nt i* thiitecn millions of dollars. And this responsibility will exist, whether there hen stipulation in the treaty nr not expressly assuming the payment of the del t of Texas. For I suppose it to he undeniable tlmt. if one nation becomes ini nrpornteia in ni.other, nil the belils, nnd obligations, hud {ncUnthrauFcs, nml wms of tiro incorporated nation, become the debts, and obligations ami incumbrances, and wars of the common nation cre ated by ihe incorporation. If any European nation entertains any ambitions de signs upon Texas, stu-lt ns that of colonizing her, <-r in any way subjugating her, I should regard it a« the im perative duty of. the Government of the t'nind Suites to oppose to sncii designs the most firm and detent in eil resistance, to liter extent, il"necessary, of appealing to nnns to prevent the ■ccomplislran nt of any such de sign*. The Executive of the United States ouglit to he informed as to the aims trad view * of foreign Powers with regard to Texas, end l presume tlmt, if there ho anv of the exceptionable character which I have indi cated, tilt!
