auhorise the shall have been read three times in the

hird, of both branches Of the whole representation


On the following day preamble and resolu-
tons, respecting the annexation of Texas to the
United States, were introduced, in the House, by
Mr.. J. w. Walker. They contend that Texas,
having been embraced in the Territory Of Louis
lana, as coded by France in 1903, is now al
integral part of the United States! and that con-
the treaty, ccding said territory to
Spain, and signed at Washington on the 22d of
February, 1919, was null and void it being in
as well OF previous treaty, as of the
Constitution OF the United States, from which the
Federal Government derives no authority to cede
any part OF the Union or Of the people to any
foreign government whatever: they also contend
that the recognition Of theindependence of Texas
merely recognizes the fact that Mexico had no
longer any power de tacto to reduce Texas to her
sovereignty, without njuring, in any respect, her
previous rights; and farther, that to render full
indernniGcation to Mexico, ia case of the annex
alton OF Texas to the United States, it is the duty
of the latter power for the transfer of Spain under
the treaty OF 1919, without constitutional author
lty. The resolutions were referred to the Com
miltce on Federal Relations and ordered 10 be
printed.
