XVIII, pp. 275-294, "i Calhoun's "Works," Vol. V, pp. 356-363- SECRETARY OF STATE 335 of the administration should under the new circumstances go further, and these were now told to our emissary. The defeat of the mere treaty was, of course, not the end of the general policy of acquiring Texas, and Howard was ac- cordingly informed that the President felt the full force of the obligation to protect Texas " pending the question of an- nexation " from attacks of Mexico consequent upon the open- i...ng of negotiations looking to that end. " As far as it relates to the Executive Department, he is prepared to use all its pow- ers for that purpose. But the Government of Texas is fully aware that they are circumscribed by the Constitution within narrow limits, which it would not be possible for the Presi- dent to transcend." All he can do is to make representations to Mexico against her course and to recommend to Congress to repel any attack which may be made. Enclosed with the despatch 102 to Howard in Texas were copies of Calhoun's letter to King, evidently designed to dash the Texan hopes for European intervention, and of a despatch sent the same day to Shannon, our minister in Mexico, of which Howard was directed to give a copy to the Texas authorities, and which was after all the vital element in the matter.
