In other words, the principle ta lb s that when an independent Power creates art obligation or debt, no subse quent political misfortune, no subsequent sever ancp of the territories of that Power, can ex onerate It from the obligation that was created whiUt an Integral and independent Power; in other words, to bring it down and apply it to this specific ca le that, Texas being an inde. pendent Power, and having a right to make loani and to mike pledges, having raised a loan and pledged specifically the revenues arising from the customs to the public creditor, th public creditor became invested with a right to that fund ; and it is a right of which be could not be divested by any other act than one to which his own consent was given it could be divested by political change which Texas might think pr6per lc make. In consequence of the absorption or merging of Texas into the United States, the creiitor, being no party to the trea ty which was brmed, does not lose his right he retains hi right to demand the fulfilment of the' pledge vh it was made upon this specific fund, just as if there had not been any annexe alioo of Texas to the United States. That was the foundatidn upon which I arrived at the con clusion, exprei sed in the resolution that the United Statei having appropriated to themselves the revenue arising from the imports which re venue had been pledged to the creditor ofTex as, the United States as an honorable arid just Power ought now to pay the debt for which those duties were solemnly pledged by a Pow er independent in itself and competent to make the pledge, j, Well, sir, I think that when you '. consider the Urge boundary which is assigned f ' to 'Texas 4hd when xyou take into view the abhorrence for I think I Jam warranted in Miing this expression with which the people of New Mexico feast of the Uio Grande will look ipon any poli icnl connexion with Texas and when, in addiiion to this, you take into view the large grant of money that we propose to make, and our libera ity in exonerating her from a por tlon of her nt blic debt, equal to that grant jtvhen we take all these circumstances into con jiideration, I t link I have presented a case in regard to whi :h 1 confess I "shall be greatly surprised, if t e people of Texas themselvee, when they co ne to deliberate upon these liber al ofTers, hesiiate a momf nt to accede to them, j I have now got through wilh what I had to ay in jeferfrce to. this resolution, And if the Senator frojn Mississippi wishes it.

Mr. B's remarks strike us as being the mere expression of certain doubts and ob jections, which, if demonstrated to be un founded or unwarranted, he is prepared to divest himself of. We shall say nothing as to the con temptible conjecture of the Standard," that, since Mr. Badger has spoken, wc will change the opinions we have hitherto ex pressed relative to this matter. Our opin ions remain unaltered. There are objec tions to the proposed boundary limits ; but we cannot see why, if Congress, accord ing to a stipulation of the Treaty, shall judge that the proper time," &c. for her admission has arrived, she should be de nied, merely because her citizens have exercised the undeniable right of forming a Government for themselves.
