“In the argument it was suggested that this court ought not to forget how much was added to the power and wealth of this Nation when Texas, with its imperial domain, came into the Union and her people became a part of the political community for whom the Constitution of the United States was ordained and established. This fact can not, of course, be forgotten by any American who takes pride in the prestige and greatness of the Republic. But the considerations which it suggests can not affect the decision of legal questions, and must be addressed to another branch of the Government. The supposition is not to be indulged that, that department of the Government will fail to recognize any duty imposed upon it by the circumstances arising out of this vexed controversy:”
