MR. ADAMS ON TEXAS.

Mr. Adams observed that, in tlieicourse of
his remarks. he should refer to circumstafp
ces appealing personally and peculiarly to

was with extreme reluctance he ‘referred to

incident that occurred in the Summer of the
year 1843, when circumstances of "ti pecul.

sion into the western pi rt of New York
and the neighboring province of Cnnrtda.~~_

wliich they glided, he fell; in conversrtliott
with a young countryman of his who was it
passenger in the s-me bout. Looking it-
round him, he madetbe exclamation 'VVba:
It magnificent river !’ To which the young
man replied. ‘Yes: and it must be ours.’-‘-
Hi,-then said it would undoubtedly be very
good for us to possess it, but for the injunc-
tion in the Bible which said, ‘Thou shall
covet thy neighbors’s goods.’ ‘Ay,' said the
young man ‘but nature has given it to us.
and we must have ii.’~ ‘Now ht.-arinanhe

ivasthat nature intended it for us and we must
have it. Mr. A. then referred to the argu-
ment that Ti-.xns was comprehended in the
territory ceded by the Louisiana treaty, and
therefore the United States were bound by
the terms of that treaty to admit them into
the,Urtion'. contending that Texas was hot
included in that territory. He also referred
to‘ the assertion that he was the first who
originated the idea of annexing_Tex:is tothé
presidency. he made overtures to Mosatico for
the acquisition ofihat territory. He admiri-
ted this to be true. He did make overtures
to M».~.xico for the acquisition of Texas; but
there was at slight differ»-nee between his tic-
tion on that subject and that now contempla-
ted, which the gentleman from Illinois bad
ovcrloolterl. ' He had proposed to‘ purchase
Texas with the C0[tS(_‘ll'. of its owner; but the
gentleman and his friends proposed now to
take it without the owners cons»-nt. There
was the same difference between his action
and that now contemplated, as there was be-’

He had said that be bad nl«.ta'ys been in

provided the laws which existed in I825 and

they could acquire the territory without any
claims upon it. Give them that. and he
would go for the annexation of Texas to-

the proposition for it in l825 and l827.
But, slavery having been established in
Texas, he considered the proposition which

views in respect to the boundary of Louis-

that Mr. Jefferson looked to the Misissippi

at great length; and as he has been spoken
ofas having sucrificpd this territory—indeed
one gentleman had said that all cessions of
the territory made by this country had been
made by citizens of the United States. he
went into his own justification. He said lie-
