The Republic of Texas has made known her desire to come into our Union,
to form a part of our Confederacy and enjoy with us the blessings of liberty
secured and guaranteed by our Constitution. Texas was once a part of our
country--was unwisely ceded away to a foreign power--is now
independent, and possesses an undoubted right to dispose of a part or the
whole of her territory and to merge her sovereignty as a separate and
independent state in ours. I congratulate my country that by an act of the
late Congress of the United States the assent of this Government has been
given to the reunion, and it only remains for the two countries to agree
upon the terms to consummate an object so important to both.
