To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, I think, will appear from the following con- siderations : First. Mexico stood in a state of hostility to- wards the United States, from her own declara- tions and acts; was raising and equipping armies for the invasion of Texas, which was the territory just annexed to the United States. And this rule, so far as I have been able to examine the writers on international law, has never been applied to belligerent nations, but only to nations in a state of peace. Second. Mexico had withdrawn ...her minister resident at Washington, and refused to negotiate on the subject in controversy long before the march of the army to the Rio Grande. At the earnest solicitation of the United States, with a view to the amicable adjustment of the dispute, the Mexican Government had agreed to receive a minister from the United States for that purpose. Mr. Slidell was accordingly appointed, and arrived at Mexico on the 6th December, 1845. But on the 24th De- cember, 1845, Mexico refused to receive Mr. Slidell; and on the 29th of the same month, the government of Herrera was overthrown for having considered die subject of negotiation : and on its ruins was erected the government of Paredes, pledged to the prosecution of the war against the United States for the reconquest of Texas — thus ending all hope of an amicable arrangement of the difficulty.
