An express has been sent by the gov
ernment to Mexico There is a rumor,
how well founded we know not, but we
have not seen it denied by the admins
tration prints, that the errand Of the a
gent is TO offer Mexico money TO resign
her right 10 the province of Texas. On
this the Washington Globe very justly
remarks:-N. Y Ec. Post.


"lf The relations of Mexico and Tex
as are such as to justify an offer of mon
ey for Mexican consent, The world will
not justify us in proceeding without her
consent She either has or has not a Ii
tic to Texas. Ifshe has title to the coun
try, we cannot honorably take it until
we acquire her title. Ifshe has no ii le
at all, rs the administration alleges, then
our treasure ought not be given to her
for nothing. Our offer TO buy, our
protestatons 10 the contrary notwith-
standing, shows that she has something
TO SELL The right may be small; still
it is right which we acknowledge by
the offer, one which is not extingUiShed
by her refusal TO accept our offer, and
one which we are bound TO respect till
it is cxtinguishcd by the arms of Texas
or the money ofthe United States. The
armistice precludcs the Texan govern
ment from saying that she has complet-
ed the conquest, and our pending offer
10 purchase from Mexico admits also the
same fact.


"Nor will il do to say that we will
give Mexico what we think fair for her
claims, though we offer a large sum;
and II she will not take our offer, we
viii take her property ui ct Grmis and
give her nothing. This is against our
treaties with her, and against the set
lied policy of the country.


"Neilher will it answer TO say that
we are merely offering to buy a preten-
sion and making graluity TO quiet title
Our relations with Texas, the people
being of our own stock, are such that
we are not authorised to act but upon an
established title, one upon which there
is no cloud. Besides, this is altogether
a disingenuous preteSt. Nobody cares
straw for Mexican pretensions; she is
too weak to secure regard even for her
rights. II entirely satisfied that her
right was gone, we ought not and would
not pay for her pretensions. 1t would
be altogether unjustiiablc for us TO
squander our money 10 feed her impok
tent arrogance"
