Excerpt from The Mexican Policy of Southern Leaders Under Buchanan's Administration The manuscript archives Of the Department of State at Washington contain the Unpublished instructions and dispatches Of three promi nent and distinguished men of the South - Gadsden, Forsyth, and mclane - who, as envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, conducted relations with Mexico during the interesting period Of American history in which the Shibboleth of manifest destiny was added to the Monroe doctrine Of national security. The first of these in the Pierce administration acquired territory for a railroad route to the Pacific. The other two, in Buchanan's administration, success ively and unsuccessfully labored to Obtain additional territory and various privileges which they thought would benefit Mexico as well as the United States. The Mexican problem, which thrice had been adjusted by change of boundaries, still persisted after the Gadsden purchase. Compli cated with southern interests and largely under the influence Of southern statesmen, the remedy most persistently proposed for its solution, in connection with an American transit route across Mexico, was an additional reduction of Mexican territory by a new cession to the United States; or, if that should fail, the establishment Of an American protectorate which was expected in time to result in new annexations to the stronger country. The problem, only partially solved by the Pierce administration, was inherited by the Buchanan administration which continued to negotiate; first, for the acquisition Of additional Mexican territory and territorial concessions as long as there was any hope of success, and later for territorial concessions and direct intervention to enforce treaty stipulations until the seces sion of the Southern States precipitated the beginning of the American Civil War and thereby increased the possibility and probability Of the long-predicted intervention of European powers in Mexico, and exposed Mexican territory to the possible designs of Confederate filibusters.
