"
Undoubtedly
,
"
replied
the
Times
;
"
but
we
have
belonged
to
the
Americans
ever
since
1820
.
"
"
Yes
!
"
returned
the
Tribune
;
"
after
having
been
Spaniards
or
English
for
two
hundred
years
,
you
were
sold
to
the
United
States
for
five
million
dollars
!
"
"
Well
!
and
why
need
we
blush
for
that
?
Was
not
Louisiana
bought
from
Napoleon
in
1803
at
the
price
of
sixteen
million
dollars
?
"
"
Scandalous
!
"
roared
the
Texas
deputies
.
"
A
wretched
little
strip
of
country
like
Florida
to
dare
to
compare
itself
to
Texas
,
who
,
in
place
of
selling
herself
,
asserted
her
own
independence
,
drove
out
the
Mexicans
in
March
2
,
1846
,
and
declared
herself
a
federal
republic
after
the
victory
gained
by
Samuel
Houston
,
on
the
banks
of
the
San
Jacinto
,
over
the
troops
of
Santa
Anna
!
--
a
country
,
in
fine
,
which
voluntarily
annexed
itself
to
the
United
States
of
America
!
"
"
Yes
;
because
it
was
afraid
of
the
Mexicans
!
"
replied
Florida
.
"
Afraid
!
"
From
this
moment
the
state
of
things
became
intolerable
.
A
sanguinary
encounter
seemed
daily
imminent
between
the
two
parties
in
the
streets
of
Baltimore
.
It
became
necessary
to
keep
an
eye
upon
the
deputies
.
President
Barbicane
knew
not
which
way
to
look
.
Notes
,
documents
,
letters
full
of
menaces
showered
down
upon
his
house
.
Which
side
ought
he
to
take
?
As
regarded
the
appropriation
of
the
soil
,
the
facility
of
communication
,
the
rapidity
of
transport
,
the
claims
of
both
States
were
evenly
balanced
.
As
for
political
prepossessions
,
they
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
question
.
This
dead
block
had
existed
for
some
little
time
,
when
Barbicane
resolved
to
get
rid
of
it
all
at
once
.
He
called
a
meeting
of
his
colleagues
,
and
laid
before
them
a
proposition
which
,
it
will
be
seen
,
was
profoundly
sagacious
.
"
On
carefully
considering
,
"
he
said
,
"
what
is
going
on
now
between
Florida
and
Texas
,
it
is
clear
that
the
same
difficulties
will
recur
with
all
the
towns
of
the
favored
State
.
The
rivalry
will
descend
from
State
to
city
,
and
so
on
downward
