Gov. Houston's special messenger to Washington reports that large numbers of evil disposed persons have gathered on the frontier, and that an outbreak seems inevitable. Should the Mexican treaty be rejected, and the internecine war in Mexico be, by that action on the part of the Senate, prolonged, then there is a strong probability of a border conflict between the Texans and Mexicans, which may result in a general war involving the whole country."
