Note 2 — XXXVI CONCLUSION 1825–1848

London Times; Aug. 6, 1847. Webster to Thompson, Apr. 5, 1842: “Every nation, on being received, at her own request, into the circle of civilized Governments must understand that ... she binds herself also to the strict and faithful observance of all those principles, laws, and usages, which have obtained currency among civilized States.... No community can be allowed to enjoy the benefit of national character, in modern times, without submitting to all the duties which that character imposes” (Ho. 266; 27, 2, p. 32). Mex. Nat. Museum, Boletín i, no. 9. Ramírez, México, 235. London Spectator, Dec. 9, 1911: “When a country can not manage its own affairs, and can not keep order among its own people, it has already lost its independence.”
