here complete at last & all in one message for the<br/>
first time since the discussion about the unilateral<br/>
multiplication of texas began<br/>
in case anybody has been wondering what it is really<br/>
about<br/>
is the actual text from bus&ss aka van zandt <br/>
which has been alleged to be erroneous<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
open quote<br/>
in a joint resolution approved 1 march 1845<br/>
congress gave its consent for the erection of texas<br/>
into a state<br/>
provided certain conditions & guarantees were accepted<br/>
one of which was as follows<br/>
 <br/>
open internal quote<br/>
new states of convenient size<br/>
not exceeding 4 in number<br/>
in addition to said state of texas<br/>
& having sufficient population<br/>
may hereafter<br/>
by the consent of said state<br/>
be formed out of the territory thereof<br/>
which shall be entitled to admission under the<br/>
provisions of the federal constitution<br/>
close internal quote<br/>
 <br/>
source 5 statutes at large 797<br/>
 <br/>
resume primary quote<br/>
texas does not appear however to have acquired by this<br/>
proviso any advantages over other states<br/>
as it merely can give its consent to a division of its<br/>
area<br/>
the right to make the recommendation or request for<br/>
the division apparently resting with congress<br/>
close quote<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
also <br/>
within quotation marks are the words<br/>
guarantees <br/>
in the first sentence<br/>
&<br/>
consent <br/>
in the last sentence<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
now i expect some wag will answer <br/>
whats wrong is that this just isnt spotless enough to<br/>
go capless<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
but i mean what is wrong with the picture actually<br/>
presented here by bus&ss<br/>
or by van zandt or whoever you think is telling us<br/>
this<br/>
& whoever you think we are<br/>
& to which exception has been taken<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
this question has until now apparently been completely<br/>
overlooked<br/>
