Daily National Intelligencer. Washington [DC]: Gales & Seaton, May 17, 1844. Vol. XXXII, No. 9749. 4pp, 18.25 x 23 in. Approx. 2/3 of front page concerns the annexation of Texas: Executive Documents, From which the injunction of secrecy was removed by the Senate, May 15, 1814. A Treaty of Annexation, Concluded Between the United States of America and the Republic of Texas, at Washington, the 12th Day of April, 1844. The people of Texas having, at the time of adopting their Constitution, expressed, by an almost unanimous vote, their desire to be incorporated into the Union of the United States, and being still desirous of the same with equal unanimity, in order to provide more effectually for their security and prosperity; and the United States, actuated solely by the desire to add to their own security and prosperity, and to meet the wishes of the Government and people of Texas, have determined to accomplish, by treaty, objects so important to their mutual and permanent welfare. For that purpose, the President of the United States has given full powers to John C. Calhoun, Secretary of State of the said United States, and the President of the Republic of Texas has appointed, with like powers, Isaac van Zandt and J. Pinckney Henderson, citizens of the said Republic; and the said plenipotentiaries, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed on and concluded the following articles:... The articles deal with turning over all of Texas land to the United States; the US assuming all of Texas' public debts; any purchases, etc. made under Texas law to remain in effect (such as private land purchases); etc. Following this is a letter from the President, John Tyler, to the Senate, which accompanied his submission of the Texas treaty for their ratification. This is followed by a statement from Isaac Van Zandt. A.R. Upshur at the Department of State notes that some people in Texas were concerned about an abolition group that had been established there, apparently with a lot of influence from British abolitionists. Page 3 (continuing to the first column of p.4) includes notes from the 28th Congress. With advertisements on the first and last pages, including an ad for a Buffalo hunt on the Washington Course the following Saturday. The animals had been on display for a time in the city, and they were to be turned loose then lassoed by Mexican cowboys. Condition: Disbound, some edge scuffing of long edge. One wrinkle on first page that could be flattened.
