WALKER, of MISSISSIPPI, RELATIVE TO THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS, IN REPLY TO THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE OF CARROLL COUNTY, (Ky) TO COMMUNICATE HIS VIEWS ON THAT SUBJECT. Wasurxeton Crry, Jan. 8, 184. GENTLEMEN :— Your letter, dated Ghent, Carrol county, Ken- tucky, November 25th, 1543, has been"received.— It contains the resolutions of a meeting of the people of that county, in favor of the annexa- tion of Texas, and requesting the candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Union to make “known to (you) or to the public” their views on this subject. As a committee, you have transmitted me these proceedings, together with a special letter, addressed to me as a candi- date for the “Vice Presidency,” requesting my opi- nions on this question. { am not a candidate for he vice-president The only State in which my name has been ignated, to any considerable extent, for this station, was my owng and knowing how many, with much older and better claims than mine, were named for this office, for this and other reasons, by letter dated November 20, 1843, addressed by me to the democratic convention which assembles this day in Mississippi, my name is withdrawn unconditionally. The treaty by which Texas was surrendered to Spain, wes always opposed by me; and in 1826, 1834, and 1835, various addresses were made by me, and then published, in favor of the reannexa- tion of Texas; and the same opinions have been often expressed by me since my election, in 1836, to the Senate of the Union. | It was a revolution in Mexico that produced the conflict for independence in Texas. The citizens ef Texas had been invited there by Mexico, under the solemn guaranty of the federal constitution of 1824. This constitution, to which Texas so long and faithfully adhered, was prostrated by the usur- per Santa Anna. After a severe siruggle, the peo- ple of Mexico were subdued by a mercenary army; the States were annihilated, and a military dicta- tor was placed at the head of a central despotism. In the capital of Mexico, and of the State of Coa- huila and Texas, the civil authorities were sup- pressed by the bayonet; the disarming of every citi- zea was decreed, and the soldiery of the usurper roceeded to enforce the edict. The people of Fexas resolved to resist, and perish upon the field of battle rather than submit to the despotic sway of a treacherous and sanguinary military dictator Short was the cenfiict, and glorious the issue. The American race was successful; the armies of the tyrant were overthrown and dispersed, and the dic- tator himself was captured. Ile was released by ‘Texas, and restored to his country, having first ac- knowledged, by a soleinn treaty, the independence of Texas. After the fall of Sauta Anna, and the total route and dispersion of the Mexican army, and when a. agri ete had become hopeless, | introduced into the Senate the resolution acknow- ledging the independence of Texas, Tt was adopt- ed in March, 1357, and the nam: of Texas inseri- bed on the roll ot independent nations, Subse- quently, France, England, and Holland, have re- cognised her indepe: ce; and Texas now has all the rights of sovereignty over her territory and people, as full and perfect as any other nation of the world. It was to Spain, and not to Mexico that we transferred Texas by treat nd it was by a revolution in Mexico, aud the recognition of her independence, not by Spain, but by this republic and other nations, that Mexico tbe any title to Texas, It was by a successful revolution, and the expulsion of Spanish power that Mexico, un- recognized by Spain, acquired all her right to this territory; and it is bya similar successful revolu- tion that Texas has obtained the same territory, — These principles have been recognised for many years by Mexico, and by this republic; and it is ab- surd in Mexico now to attemt to recull her une- quivocal assent to these doctrines, and ask to be permitted to change the well 6: t'led law of nations, and oppose the xeannexation of Texas. Tt is an admitted principle of the law of hations, that eve- sovereignty may cede the whole or any part of their territory, unless restrained by some constitu- tional interdict; and which, if it exist, may be re- moved by the same sovereign power which im- posed the limitation. There i, however, no such firacation inthe constitution of Texas, which isa single centr] government, with the same anthority to make the cession, pertained to France or Spain, in the transfer of Louisiana or Florida.— ‘or does it change the question of power, that these were distant colonies; for the sovereignty extends alike over every portion of the nation; and this principle wasfully recognised when Mr. Adams, as President, and Mr. Clay, as Secretary of State, in 1825 and 1827, by instructions to our minister at Mexico, and General Jackson as President, and Mr. Van Buren as Secretary of State, by subse- quent similar instructions in 1529, endeavored to procure from Mexico the cession of Texas, then a contiguous and ince portion ef the Mexican donfedenicy. And if a nation may cede a portion of her territory, being completely sovereign over the whole, she may certainly cede the whole; and, in any event this would be a question, not of our right to receive, but of the authority of the ceding nation to make the transter, or simply an inquity, whether we obtained a good or a bad title. In thiscase, the title would be unquestionable; for ‘Texas being independent in fact, and so recognised by ourselves, and the great powers of Europe, as completely sovereign Cap, bea her tertitory, Mexico could make no just objection to the trans- er. In 1836, this question, together with that of rati- fying their constitution, was submitted by the con- stituted authorities tothe people of Texas, who, with unparalleled unanimity, (there being but ninety-three dissenting votes,) decided in favor of reannexation. ‘Texas, then, has already assented te the reannex- ation, not merely by the act of all her authorities, but of her people, and made it a part and parcel of the organization of the government itself, and he who, with the knowledge of these facts, would now deny the power of Texas to assentto the reannexa- tion, must reject and discard the great fundamental principle of popular sovereignty. Surely, then, no b one will contend that monarchies may transfer, and we receive, their colonies and sulyecta, with- out and against their consent; but that the entire people of a single republic, in whom resides the only rightful sovereignty, cannot cede, nor we re- ceive, their own territory, and that monarchs have maore power than the people, and are more truly sovereign. Texas, then, having the undoubted right to transfer the who!e, or any part of the terri- tory, there can be no difference, as a question of constitutional power, between our right to receive a part or the whole of the territory. ‘The reannexation, then, can be accomplished by any one of three modes. Ist, by treaty; 2d, by an act of Congresss, without a treaty; and 3d, by the authority reserved to each State, to extend their boundaries, and annex additional territory with the sanction of Congress. ’ Ist. By pe 9 meio is right was established in the cession of Louisiana and Florida, and cannot now be questioned, without menacing the organiza- tion of the government and integrity of the Union; for, by virtue of this power, three States and seve- ral Territories now eompose a part of the republic. In 1842, we acquired territory by treaty, and at- tached it to the States of New York and Vermont. There was there no disputed boundary, for the call was for a certain parallel of latitude—a mere ques- tien of measurement—which, when made, placed this territory within the undoubted limits of Cana- da; in consequence of which, we had abandoned the fortress erecting at Rouse’s Point, and the ground it occupied, (which wasa part of that territo- ty,) which we acquired by the treaty of 1842, The question of the power of annexation by treaty, is settled, and incorporated into the very existence of ye and of the Union. | |. The object may be accomplished by act of Congress, without a treaty. The language of the constitution is; ‘* New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction ef two or more St or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the States concerned, ag well as of the Congress.” The grant is unlimited, exeept that the boundary of an exist- ing State cannot be disturbed by Congres® without the assent of the State legislatures, ‘* New States may be admitted by the into this Union. This is the broad lengnags of the constitution; and, to confine it to territory then acquired, is to interpe- late most important words into that instrument. Nor could it tave been the intention of the framers of the constitution to prevent the acquisition of new territory. Louisiana was not then a part of the Union, but it w most important part of the val- ley of the Mississippi, containing New Orleans, and the whole of the western, and the most essen- tial part of the eastern portion of that territory, with both banke of its great river for many hun- dred miles above its mouth, and the only outlet of *\ ed our title; and Mr, Clay has ever maint the preducta of the mighty valley starting at the | ed the ssion of Louisiana to us, announced the Voughiognng in Maryland, and ‘tie Alleghan ia “Del Norte as its true boundary. Here, then, in Louisiana the delivery of the Spain to Franee, and e to us, Texas is inclu ded. In the letter of Mr. Madison of the 8th July, 1804, he declares the oj i the **relinquishment of any territory whatever east- ward of the Rio Bravo.” In the letter of James Monroe of the 8th November, 1808, he incioses do- cuments which he says, “‘ prove incontestably” that the boundary of Loui “4 io Bravo te the west ;” and Mr. Pinckney unites with him in a similar declaration. In a subsequent letter—not to a foreign government, but to Mr. Madison—of the 20th April, 1805, they assert our title as unquestion- able. In Mr. Monroe’s letters, as Secretary of State, dated January 19, 1816, and June 10, 1816, he sa) none could-question “ our title to Texas ;” and expresses his concurrence in opinion with Jefiersom and Madison, ‘ that our title to the Del Norte was as clear as to the island of New Orleans.” In his letter, as Secretary of State, to Don Onis, of the 12th March, 1818, John Quincy Adams says: “The claim of Franee always did extend westward to the Riv Bravo ;” “(she always claimed the terntory which you call Texas as being within the limits, and forming a part of Louisiana.” After demon- strating our title to Texas in this letter, Mr. Adama says: ‘ Well mua Messrs. Pinckney and Monroe write to M. Cevallos, in 1805, that the claim of the United States to the boundary of the Rio Bravo was as clevr as their right to the island of New Or- leans.” Again, in his letter of the 3lst October, 1818, Mr. Adams says our title to Texas is * esta- blished beyond the poner of further controversy.” Here, then, by the discovery and occupation of Texas, as a part of Louisiana, b: le, for France, in 1685; by the delivery of possession to us, in 1808, by Spain and France ;. by the action of our government, from the date of the treaty of ac- queven to the date of the treaty of surrender, avowedly go en its face ;) by the opinion of all our Presidents and Ministers connected in any way with the acquisition, our title to Texas was undoubted. It was surrendered to Spain by the treaty of 1819; but Mr. Clay maintained, in his speech of the April, 1820, that territory could not be alienated merely by a treaty; and consequently that, notwith- standing the treaty, Texas was still our own. Inthe cession of a portion of Maine, it was asserted, in legislative resolutions, by Massachusetts and Maine, and conceded by this government, that no portion of Maine could be ceded by treaty without the con- sent of Maine. Did Texas assent to this treaty, or can we cede part of a territory, but not of a State? These are grave questions; they raise the point whether Texas is not now a part of our territory, and whether her people may not now rightfully claim the protection of our government and laws.— Recollect this was not a question of settlement un- der the powers of this government, of a disputed boundary. The treaty declares, as respects Texas, that we ‘‘cede to his Catholic majesty.” Com- menting on thisin his speech before referred to, Mr. Clay says, it was not a question of the power of dispute ‘‘of fixing a boundary previouslyexi “It was, on the contrary, the case of an avowe: cession of territory from the United States to Spain.” Although, ihen, the government may be competent to fix a dig; uted boundal ‘4 asceriaining as near as practicable where it is; although, also, a State, with the consent of this government, as in the case of Maine, may cede a portion of her territory—yet it by no means follows that this government, ‘b: treaty, could cede a Territory of the Union. Coul we by treaty cede Florida to Spain, copgcially with- out consulting the people of Florida ? and, if not, the treaty by which Texas was surrendered was, as Mr. Clay contended, inoperative. By the treaty of 1803, by which, we have seen, ‘Texas was acquired by us from France, we pledged our faith to France, and to the people of Texas, ne- ver to surrender that territory. The 3d article of that treaty declares: ‘‘ The inhabitants of the ceded territory ‘shall be incorporated in the Union of the United States, and admitted assoon as possible, ac- cording to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the nights, adv. es, and immunities of citizens ef the United States; and in the mean time they shall be protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, gre rty, and the reli- ion which they profess.” Such was our pledge to Lore and to the people of Texas, by the treaty of rchase ; and if our subsequent treaty of cession to Bpain ‘Was not unconstitutional and invalid, it was a groee infraction of a previous treaty, and of one of the fundamental conditions under which Texas was acquired. : Here, then, are many grave questions of constitu- tional power. Could the solemn guaranty to France, and to people of Texas, be rescinded by a treaty with Spain? Can this government, by its own mere power, surrender any portion of its territory 7 Can it cut off a territory without the consent of ‘its ‘ople, and surrender them and the territory to 4 loleut power? Can it expatriate and ex from the Union its own citizens, who occupy that terri tory, and change an American citizen into a citizen of Spain or Mexico These are momentous ques- tions, which it is not necessary now to determine, and in regard to which I advance at this time no opinion, Certain, however, it is, that, with the consent of the people of Texas, Congress can car- ty out the solemn pledges of the treaty of 1808, aid admit one or more States from Texas into the nion. ‘The question as to Texas is, inany aspect, aques- tion of the re-establishment of our ancient bounda- rieg, and the re-possession of a territory most reluct- antly surrendered. The surrender of territory, even if constitutional, is almost universally inexpedient and unwise, and, in any event, when circumstances may seem to demand such a surrender, the territo- ry thus abandoned should always be re-acquired whenever it may be done with justice and proprie- ty. Independent of these views, we have the recorded opinion of John Quincy Adams, as Presi- dent, aed Henry Clay, as Secretary of State, and also of Gen. Andrew Jackson, as President, and Martin Van Buren, as Secretary of State, that texas onght ace PO pernap hae the Aya ‘On be of March, ir.

In this letter Mr. Clay says, “the Pre- ishes you to effect that object.” Mr. Clay The line of the Sabine approaches our great western mart nearer than could be wished. Per. haps the Mexican government may not be unwil- ling to establish that of the Rio Brassos de Dios, or the Rio Colorado, or the Snow Mountains, or the Rio del Norte, in lieu of it.” Mr. Clay w also, the importance of having entirely within our New York, uniting at Pittsburg, where they form on ol the Ohio, to the outlet of all into the Gulf. “If we look at the condition of many of the States when the constitution was framed, we will find it could never have been adopted had it forbidden the ace uisition of the enly outlet of all the products of the West. The waters of western Maryland, and of western New York, commingle with those of the Ohio and Miseissippi. There stood Pittsburg at the head of the Ohio; and one-third of Pennsylvania is intersected by streams which water a part of the reat valley. Virginia then ineluded Kentucky ; three-fourths of her territory was within the great valley, and the Ohio and Mississippi itself were its boundary for more than a thousand miles. North Carolina then included Tennessee, and was bound- ed for hundreds of miles by the river Mississippi ; and Georgia then embraced Alabama and Missis- sippi,and was not only beunded for several hun- dred miles by the great river, but advanced to within a few mites of the city of New Orleans.— Is it possible that all these States, in forming the constitution, could have wtended to prohibit forev- er the acquisition of the mouth of the Mississippi, then inthe hands of a hostile and despotic foreign power? The constitution contains no such suici- dal provision ; and all the historical facts, both be- fore andafter its adoption, are against any such anti-American restriction As toa treaty, it is only necessary as indicating the assent of the ceding na- tion; and if that hes been given already, as in the case of Texas, without a treaty, our acceptance may be made by Congress. Suppose the constita- tion of Texas orbid the cession, except by Con- reas; when their Congress paased the assenting jaw, could not we accept, by act of Congress — Or suppose Texas, or any other contiguous terri- tory, was vacant and unclaimed by any power, could we not annexit by act of Congress? One of the grounds assumed in Congress, and by our government, in defence of our title to Oregon, is its alleged discovery and occupancy by us, (long before the treaty with France, being one of the acknowledged modes by which nations acquire ter- ey but if we can only acquire territory by trea- ty, then this ground, upon which we claim title to Oregon, must be abandoned. It would be strange, indeed, it the treaty-making power (which, under our constitution, is purely an executive power) could annex territory, and yet that the executive and both honses of Congress combined, could not. Then, if France or Spain had forever retused to cede to us Louisiana or New Orleans, could we never—no, not even by conquest in wat—have occupied and annexed them by act of Congress 7— Congress, then, having the undoubted power to an- nex territory, and admit new States, and Texas ha- ving assented in advance, may be either admitted at once, aa a Terntorys ora State, or States, or Congress may provide for the prospective admission of one er more States from Texas, as has often heretofore been done as to other new States, the whole question of annexation not being one wheth- er this government has the power, but only how it must be exercised; and whether only by one of the branches of this government, or by all combin- ed. And if the power vested in Congress by the Constitution to admit new States, does not of itself embrace territory then constituting a part of the Union, as well as all future. acquisitions, there is no power to admit new States, except out of terri- tory which was a partof the Union when the Con- stitution was formed; but as this interpretation can- not prevail without expelling three States trom the Union, and forbidding the admission of Iowa, it must be conceded that this power of Congress to admit new States, does extend to future acquisi- tions. This being the case, what can be more clear than that Congress may admit a State or States out of Texas, if her assent is given, as we perceive it has been, in a form as obligatory as a treaty t— In truth, the power to annex territory by treaty doesnot so much exist as a mere implication from the treaty-making power, as from the grant to Con- gress to admit new States out of aay territory whatever, although not then a part of the Union; and the right to annex by treaty results mainly as 4 means of obtaining, when necessary, the assent of another government, especially when that assent can be obtained in no other manner. Something like this was done by the annexation. by Congress, of the F! ja parishes to the State of Louisiana. They had been claimed, und remained for many years after the cession of Louisiana, in the exclusive occupancy of Spain, when the Ameri- can settlers revolted, assembled their convention, declared their independence, and by a successful revolution wrested this territory from the dominion of Spain, and Congress recognised the acts, and assumed and paid the debts of the insurgent con- vention; and the legislature of Louisiana, after the adoption of her constitution, and admission into the Union, without this territory, subse- quently, by mere legislative enactment, with the consent of Congress, annexed it to the State of Louisiana. J 8d. The annexation may be accomplished by one of the States of the Union, with the sanction of Congress. That each of the States possessed the power to extend her boundaries before the adoption of the constitution, will not be denied ; and that the power atill exists is certain, unless it is aban- doned by the State in forming the government of the Union, Now, there is no such abandonment, unless it is found in the following clause of the constitution : ‘Ne State shall, without the consent of Congress, enter into any agreement or compact with another State, or with a foreign power.” Each State then, may, with the consent of Con- gress, “enter into any agreement or compact with another State, or with a foreign power.” Texas, if not ours, is a foreign power; and if she, by law, assents te the reannexation, in whole or in part, to Louisiana, or to Arkansas, and those States, by law, agree to the annexation, it is “an agreement or compact,” between a foreign power and a State of the Union, and is clearly lawful, with “the con- sent of Congress.” {t would not be a treaty,wkich is the exercise of an executive power, but a com- pact by law, and precisely similar to the numereus compacts, so ealled, by which, by acts of Congress and a State legislature, 80 many agreements, espe- cially with the new States, have been made by mere legislative enactmerts. Nor need the assent of Gongress be given in advance; it was not so given on the admission of Tennessee, Arkansas. and Michigan ; but if given subsequentl , it would ratify the previous extension of their boundaries Louisiana or Arkansas. There are, then, these three modes, by any one of which Texas may be reannexed te the American Union. Ist. By treaty. 2d. By act f Neigh re wed a treaty; we 3d.
