American policy of continually

This delay has caused difficulties
for Texas with other foreign
nations, who hesitate to make any
agreements with Texas if it is soon
to be annexed by the United
States.
Opposition to Texas’ annexa-
tion has arisen mainly from
abolitionists, who are concerned
that such an action would
strengthen the position of slave
states in the Union. John Quincy
Adams, the former president who
is now a congressman from
Massachusetts, has been consist-
ently denouncing the Texas
Republic since last May, in almost
daily speeches before the House
of Representatives. It is generally
agreed that there is np possibility
of annexation, and now even the
matter of recognition has been
put into doubt by President
Andrew Jackson’s continued
delays.

1831: Monday, January 11
The three Texas commissioners
currently in New Orleans, headed
by General Stephen F. Austin,
today completed contracts with
two groups of lenders for a total
of $250,000 at eight per cent
interest, with the lenders’ option
to convert their loan into land at
50 cents per acre. Since most of
the lenders are land buyers, of
whom there are many in New
Orleans at the present time, it is
assumed that they have every
intention of exercising their
options. The Texas government is
to survey the land in tracts of 640
acres (one square mile) and
withhold these tracts from sale
until the lenders make their
selection. To date $60,000 has
been advanced toward these
loans.
In addition, William Bryan, a
merchant of this city, has agreed
to provide goods and materials to
the Texas government in return
for drafts against the govern-
ment. This is expected to provide
up to $100,000 in additional
credit.
General Austin has com-
mented: "There is great enthu-
siasm in favor of Texas in this
city, and all over the United
States — a thousand fold more
than I had any idea of. The
universal opinion seems to be that
we ought to declare independence
immediately!’
Both the lenders and the Texas
commissioners seem to be highly
pleased with the arrangements. In
addition to General Austin, the
other commissioners are William
H. Wharton and Dr. Branch T.
Archer. They have stated that
when their work in New Orleans
in completed, they will move on
to Nashville, Tennessee, where
they expect to be early in
February. They also plan to go to
