Also an address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to give directions to her Ministers to make an agreement with the Government of Mexico, to place at her disposal a portion of the unoccupied territory on their northern boundary, to be set apart as an independent asylum, or a free state, for persons of color.
