While, therefore, the Executive would deplore any collision with Mexico or any disturbance of the friendly relations which exist between the two countries, it can not permit that Government to control its policy.

More from John Tyler
I congratulate the country upon so happy a termination of a condition of things which seemed at one time seriously to threaten the public peace.
The loss which the Government and the country have sustained by this deplorable event is heightened by the death at the same time and by the same cause of several distinguished persons and valuable citizens.
I transmit herewith a letter from the governor of Iowa, accompanied by a memorial from the legislative assembly of that Territory, asking admission as an independent State into the Union.
I transmit herewith copies of the report and papers* referred to in a resolution of the Senate of the 20th of February last.
