COLUMBIA TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE January 1Sth 1837 Messrs WHARTON and HUNT I am directed by the President to instruct you to enter into a negotiation with Genl Santa Anna before he leaves the city of Washington for an exchange of prisoners. So far as regards the manner time and place of the exchange you of course must be the Judges as this must be done to suit as near as possible the convenience of both Governments. The terms of the exchange will be those which universally govern such transactions, that is, for all Texians who are now prisoners of War in the hands of the Mexican Government and who shall hereafter be discharged by that Government, so shall a like number of Mexican prisoners of war according to rank, be discharged by this Government and as regards the expense heretofore incured by either Government for keeping of· the said prisoners and that which shall accrue in the exchange you are instructed either to settle now or leave it for subsequent negotiation. It is however desirable that the exchange should be made as soon as practacable and if such an exchange can be agreed upon at this time with Genl Santa Anna and he should be favourably received in Mexico it will facilitate this verry desirable object.

REPUBLIC OF TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE Columbia Deer 31 1836 To The Honbl MEMUCAN HUNT SIR The following instructions are given you as a general guide by which you are to be governed in order to effect the important objects of your Mission. You have received your commission as Minister Extraordinary of Texas, to the United States of North America together with other papers necessary to show the perfect organization of the Government of this Republic etc. And fearing that some difficulties may arise in relation to your reception as Minister previous to the Recognition of the Independence of this Republic by the Government of the United States you have been furnished with seperate credentials authorizing you to urge this desireable object as Agent of this Republic in which event you will act in concert with The Honb. W H Wharton the resident Minister or agent of this Republic near the Government of the United States. But should no difficulty arise in relation to your reception as Minister and you should be received as such you will then act in concert with The Honbl W H Wharton the resident Minister Plenepotentiary, and will be governed or guided in your negotiations by the instructions already given to that Honbl Gentleman by the late Secy of State, together with this letter which contains instructions for you and he jointly founded principally upon facts arising out of the more complete organization of this Government since the departure of Mr Wharton for the United States. You will discover by the instructions above alluded to that, the principal objects of your Mission are 1st. The recognition of the Independence of this Republic, 2nd. The annexation of this Country to the United States either as a seperate State to be on equal footing with the other States of the Union or as a Teritory with the right to admission into the Union as a State when she can number a sufficient amount of population to entitle her to admission according to the Laws of the United States. You will therefore procede to the Government of the United States at Washington City with as little delay as possible where you will confer and act in conjunction with the resident Minister of this Republic The Honbl Wm H Wharton, and in all your intercourse with that Government you will doubtless use the utmost frankness and candor. You will urge the recognition of the Independence of this Republic upon the ground that it is so de jure and de facto. So far as regards the right of Texas to declare herself Independent or the sufficiency of the reasons upon which she founded her Declaration of Independence it is very clear that no other Nation has the right to enquire. This position has in all cases upon which the Government of the United States has heretofore acted been acknowledged, but from such an inquiry you will not find it necessary to shrink and your own knowledge of the causes together with the reasons contained in the instructions heretofore given to the resident Minister at Washington will be sufficient to satisfy so just and liberal a Government as that with which you will have the honor to negotiate should any be required. Therefore it occurs to me that the only point upon which the Government of the United States will require of you to satisfy it, is whether Texas is Independent de facto, has established a regular organized Government in all its parts, and is capable of sustaining itself. In addition to the evidence of these facts already furnished the Minister resident at Washington, you have been furnished with evidence to show that the Judiciary has been regularly and completely organized since the departure of Mr Wharton for that Government. The Supreme Court consisting of a chief justice and the Judges of the Supreme or Circuit Courts as his associates, the District or Circuit Courts consisting of a Judge for each Circuit or District, and the County or inferior Courts consisting of a Chief Justice in each County all have been organized by the late Congress of the Republic and the Judges of each elected and commissioned and are now prepared to hold their severl courts so soon as the time shall arrive when Congress have declared they shall hold them respectively. For the evidences to show that the other constituent parts of this Government are organized and in full opperation you are refered to the documents and instructions heretofore furnished to the resident Minister. To this end it may not be unimportant to show with what unanimity and good feeling the late Congress of this Republic acted and the harmony which prevaded throughout between it and the Executive also the entire confidence which prevailed throughout the whole Country in the several departments of the Government. Upon this point it will not be difficult to satisfy the Government to which you go that there" is no danger of the permanancy of the Government being effected by internal dessentions. Another fact bearing upon this point may well be mentioned which is that of two of the three Gentlemen who were candidates for the Presidency having been appointed to two of the most important offices in the Cabinet, and all acting now with the most perfect harmony and good faith. As regards all other facts bearing upon this point you will find the instructions alluded to above amply sufficient. Should the Government of the United States have recognized the Independence of Texas previous to your arrival at Washington or should it be done during your stay there in your capacity as Minister Extraordinary you will then with the resident Minister urge the second object of your Mission-The annexation of Texas to that Government. In addition to the reasons given in the former instructions you may urge it on the ground of the verry great commercial advantages as well as the naval strengt[h] which it would give to the United States, for in the event of [the refusal of] that Government to receive this Country into the Union either as a State or a Territory it may become necessary for Texas to form a Treaty of amity and commerce with England or some other European power which would forever and entirely preclude the people of the United States from enjoying any of the benefits resulting in Texas from the richness of her soil commerce etc etc etc. These reasons may be very forcibly impressed particularly upon the Representatives of the Northern States from whom we may expect to meet the greatest opposition, because should Texas be attached to the United States the immense consumption of those articles principally manufactured in the Northern States will more than compensate for the additional strength which its annexation will add to the political influence of the South. The great and abundant supply of raw material from this Country will reduce the price which they will have to pay for the same and at the same time keep it at a more uniform price thus preventing the great fluctuations so frequently occuring in the United States to the distress and ruin of thousands. As things now are in the United States a partial failure one year will raise the price of the raw material much above its intrinsic or ordinary value, the next it will be suddenly reduced by an abundant crop, but open as this Country would do an immence territory for the production of' cotton-land the richest and most productive in the world these fluctuations would not occur, as no failure w[h]ich could ordinarily happen would visibly shorten the supply. On the other hand should the Government of the United States refuse to admit this Country into the Union etc etc Texas would in all probability in order to gain immediate wealth strength and respectability be induced to form a Treaty with England by which all the advantages of commerce, wealth and strength would be fo[r]ever lost to the United States and important advantages given to a Power on her Southern border w[h]ich already confines her on the North. In a nation[al] defensive point of view it is all important to the United States that she should possess this Country, with it, she might rest satisfied to see Cuba the key of the whole West Indies together with that whole chain of Islands in the hands of any other one power. The immence forest[s] of the best live oak in the world which are to be found in Texas would enable the Government at a reduced expence to build and keep up a Naval power superior to that of any European Nation. She could in sight of the forests of live oak build launch and protect her Navy which would enable her to keep possession of the whole Ocean bordering on South America and the West Indies. But take from the United States these advantages and add them to England or any other power and it would hang like an Incubus upon her prosperity. You may expect perhaps to meet with some opposition to the annexation of Texas to the United States from that portion of the States which is in favour of Abolition or opposed to slavery. So far as it regards slavery in Texas it cannot seriously be made an objection to our annexation, because it will not be increasing the number of slaves in the World as none are imported here from Africa or any other country except the United States. The Constitution of Texas forbids it and a law passed by Congress punishes any violation of it with death. In the event that there should be doubts entertained whether a treaty made with this Government for its annexation to the United States would be ratified by a constitutional majority of the Senate of the United States you are instructed to call the attention of the authorities of that Government to the propriety and practicability of passing a law by both houses (in which it would require a bare majority) taking in this Country as a part of her Territory, this law could be passed, (provided Congress has the power to do so) based upon the vote of the people of Texas at the last election but in framing such an act great care should be used in order to secure all of the rights of Texas and its citizens as fully as you are instructed to have them attended to in any treaty which may be made. If such an act is passed you can give that Government the fullest assurance that it will be approved by this Government and people. But inasmuch as this is rather a novel position you will speak of it with great prudence and caution. It is desirable under any and all circumstances that the United States troups now stationed near Nacogdoches should remain in that position. The position which they now occupy is one the most favourable to promote the great object of watching and keeping the different Indian tribes from committing hostilities upon the frontier of the United States and should the Independence of Texas be acknowledged or should no steps be taken towards it still the great regard which this Government and the people of Texas have for the Government and people of the United States will ind[uc]e this Government to afford any and every facility in its power to secure to them peace and prosperity. Intelligence but recently received from Matamoras states that negotiations have been carried on successfully with the Cherokees east of Naches to commence hostilities against the whites as soon as they are informed of the approach of the Mexican army upon Texas. The withdrawal of the American Troops stationed at Nacogdoches, from that vicinity, would operate as an Inducement to the Indians to commence aggressions upon the Inhabitants. You will therefore urge this upon the consideration of that Government in the most impressive manner. The President desires that you should renew the assurance of the very high regard and attachment which this Government and its people entertain for the Government and people of the United States and the distinguished person at its head.

CATLETT TO AUSTIN MOBILE Jan'y 11th 1836 DEAR SIR, After an unavoidable detention of eleven days at Velasco, and a most tedious and disagreeable voyage of fourteen days, I arrived at New Orleans on the night of the 7th inst. It gave me great pain to learn from Maj. Raines, that you had been extremely ill; I sincerely trust that this letter may find you in a state of rapid convalescence. Your various requests I attended to, as far as was practicable on a day of general idleness and public festivity. Messrs. Toby and MarLe I was unable to see. Mr. Grayson is in N. Orleans. On Monday the 9th I took passage for this place. The Viper had not then arrived although she left Velasco on the same day with the Julius Caesar. COL. Turner is on board of her, and has in his charge the scrip intended for David White Esqr. of this City. You have doubtless by this time received President Jackson's message in relation to Texian affairs. I cannot express the regret, with which I gradually awoke to the unwelcome truth, that he is opposed to the immediate recognition of Texian Independence. I did not anticipate so cold blooded a policy from him. There is something within me however, that whispers that the message was a message of expediency not intended to sway the Congress from a just and generous measure, but to lull the jealousy of foreign powers, and gull the national vanity of miserable Mexico, while the work goes not the less surely on, and approaches the consummation of all that you most desire:-not only recognition but annexation likewise. A resolution has passed the lower house of the Legislature of Kentucky requiring their representative in Congress to vote in favour of recognition. There can be no doubt, if one can form an opinion from what he sees and hears, that our independence will be recognised by a large majority. The message is supposed to have been written by Mr. Van Buren; if so, it may be regarded as an omen of the ungenerous policy which he has determined to pursue in relation to Texas. It matters not. It will make his administration unpopular at the very outset. Texas has many strong friends in Congress and indeed the South and West are already arraying their strength in her favour. I greatly fear that the opposition will identify themselves with Texian interests for the selfish purpose of restoring their fallen party to power and breaking down the next administration. I feel confident that the questions of recognition and annexation will produce a general splitting up of the old democratic party, and I devoutly trust that the annexation of Texas may be the result. I would not have ventured to express the crude ideas of so inexperienced a mind as my own had I not been writing to one, who I know will view them with indulgence, appreciate them as ingenuously given, and not regard them as emanating from an intrusive or presumptuous disposition. I shall get off tomorrow for Washington and if not unusually unlucky will arrive there by the 25th inst. Please accept my sincere wishes for your health and happiness, and with sentiments of high consideration and respect, . I have the honor to be, Your Obt Servt F.

He served as the country's president on multiple occasions (six to eleven times, depending on how one counts his leaves of absence) and led Mexico to military victory and military ruin. Born in Jalapa, Veracruz, Santa Anna joined the Spanish army in time for Mexico's War of Independence, and rose in the ranks. Among his postings was the suppression of a filibustering expedition led by a former U.S. Army officer, and including many U.S. citizens, in 1813. Santa Anna, like many other Spanish royal officers, switched sides in the War of Independence in 1821. After initially supporting the monarchy of Augustín de Iturbide, he led the revolt that overthrew the emperor in 1823. His popularity following the defeat of a Spanish invasion in 1829 led him to the presidency in 1833. Santa Anna initially retired to his hacienda, leaving Vice President Valentín Gómez Farías in charge of the country. But when Gómez Farías's reforms proved unpopular, Santa Anna supported a governmental change and revocation of the 1824 Constitution--precipitating rebellions in several regions of the country. Santa Anna personally led the successful suppression of a revolt in Zacatecas, and the unsuccessful suppression of a revolt in Texas. Following his capture and imprisonment by Texas rebels, Santa Anna journeyed overland to Washington, where he met with President Andrew Jackson in January 1837. Santa Anna then returned by ship to Vera Cruz, where he retired to his hacienda until a French invasion in 1838. Santa Anna lost his leg to a French cannonball, and as a result gained the presidency on an interim basis the next year. He returned to office in 1841, but was overthrown and exiled to Cuba in 1844. He returned to Mexico as president when war broke out with the United States in 1846. After leading his army to disgrace at Cerro Gordo, he again went into exile. A return to the presidency between 1853 and 1855 was corrupt and ineffective, and Santa Anna spent the next 19 years in exile--including nine months in New York in the late 1860s, where he may have introduced chewing gum to the United States. Santa Anna, blind and 80 years old, was finally allowed to Mexico in 1874. He died, in poverty, two years later.

New Orleans held one of the most diverse populations in the United States during the 19th century. It connected the central part of North America with Mexico and the Caribbean, and from there, the Atlantic world. By virtue of its geography, New Orleans carried much of the trade between the United States and Mexico during the early 19th century, and also attracted many migrants and exiles from Mexico. Inhabitants of New Orleans strongly supported the Texas Revolution. https://www.davidmckenzie.info/projects/files/original/07c51fb9b561441b35179ef5956180ba.jpg 16dee8eb376b48bf41057a200c5cd856 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource 1836-37: Almonte, Bee, Hockley, Patton, Santa Anna, Texas to Washington Description An account of the resource This collection brings together items related to the journey of Antonio López de Santa Anna, Juan Almonte, Barnard Bee, George Washington Hockley, and W.H. Patton from Orizombo, Texas, to Washington, D.C. in the aftermath of the Texas Revolution, 1836-37. The journey was part of the diplomatic frenzy that followed Texas's successful secession from Mexico in early 1836. Mexico refused to recognize the new republic, while Texas pushed for recognition, and eventual annexation, by the United States.

The surrounding country is highly cultivated and very neatly managed, the woodland enclosed and all the undergrowth cut down. This enclosure serves for stock. The grass, I am told, is nearly eighteen inches high on average. Mr. Henry Clay has a most beautiful residence near town. We reached here about dark. The candles were burning on either side of the street and the reflection gave everything an added beauty. There is a little confusion in town tonight on account of the heartless cruel Santa Anna’s arrival here. There is some little talk of a mob tonight. He has two gentlemen with him, his aide-de-camp and Major Somebody, I have forgotten his name. We are all lodged under the same roof. We took tea with the latter gentlemen at the same table. The Mexican is a very genteel looking man, of low stature, dark hair and eyes, and rather sallow complexion. They are on their way to Washington, as they say, to see the President of the United States, (Jackson). I did not learn their business, neither did I see the General as he was ill and did not leave his room. Santa Anna kept his room closely and very much wrapped and muffled up to prevent the effect of the keen air. His aide says he longs very much for his lost Paradise, Mexico.
