Excerpt from The Statesman's Manual, Vol. 4 of 4: Containing the Addresses and Messages of the Presidents of the United States, Inaugural, Annual, and Special, From 1789 to 1858 I have had the honor to receive your communication, aecom panying the first volume of the new edition of the Laws of the United States, published by Messrs. Little 6l Brown, of Boston. The Publishers have now delivered five volumes, containing all the general Laws and it has given me great pleasure to have it in my power to certify the highly satisfactory character of this portion of the work. It is, in the highest degree, creditable to the Publishers. Although, by the terms of the Joint Resolution of Congress, my duty was limited to making a contract for one thousand copies, and to certifying that its conditions were complied with, I have been consulted, unreservedly, by the Publishers, in every stage of their work, and have found them at all times ready to adopt any suggestion to secure accu racy in the publication, regardless of personal trouble or of expense. So far as the original Rolls exist, they have been examined and carefully compared by competent persons with the sheets of this edition of the Laws; and if any trivial errors shall be found, in the publication, they can be readily corrected in the stereotyped plates, and thus a perfect edition of the Laws of the United States will be' obtained. I am gratified to find that the order and arrangement prescribed by Congress, in this edition, will greatly facilitate reference, and, I doubt not will be highly satisfactory to the Profession and to the Public. My own experience in a judicial office has impressed me with the great value of such a publication, and I am happy to have contributed in any degree, in the preparation of so creditable a work.

Excerpt from The Statesman's Manual, Vol. 4: Containing the Presidents' Messages, Inaugural, Annual, and Special, From 1789 to 1851, With Their Memoirs, and Histories of Their Administrations, Together With Very Valuable Collection of National and Statistical Documents, &C, &C The United States never attempted to acquire Texas by conquest. On the contrary, at an early period after the people of Texas had achieved their independence, they sought to be annexed to the United States. At a general election in September, 1836, they decided with great unanimity in favor of annexation and in November following, the Congress of the republic authorized the appointment of a minister, to bear their request to this government. This government, however, having remained neutral between Texas and Mexico during the war between them, and consider ing it due to the honor of our country, and our fair fame among the nations of the earth, that we should not at this early period consent to annexation, nor until it should be manifest to the whole world that the reconquest of Texas by Mexico was impossible, refused to accede to the overtures made by Texas. On the twelfth of April, 1844, and after more than seven years had elapsed since Texas had established her independence, a treaty was concluded for the annexation of that republic to the United States, which was rejected by the senate. Finally, on the first of March, 1845, Con gress passed a joint resolution for annexing her to the United States, upon certain preliminary conditions to which her assent was required. The solemnities which characterized the deliberations and conduct of the gov crament and people of Texas, on the deeply interesting question presented by these resolutions, are known to the world. The Congress, the exec utive, and the people of Texa, in a convention elected for that purpose, accepted with great unanimity the proposed terms of annexation and thus consummated upon her part the great act of restoring to our federal Union a vast territory which had been ceded to Spain by the Florida treaty more than a quarter of a century before.
