' Just as they were about to sign the treaty...one of the Mexicans,
Don Bernardo Couto, remarked to him, "this must be a proud
moment for you; no less proud for you than it is humiliating for us."
To this Mr. Trist replied "we are making peace, let that be our only
thought." But, said he to us in relating it, "Could those Mexicans
have seen into my heart at that moment, they would have known
that my feeling of shame as an American was far stronger than
theirs could be as Mexicans. For though it would not have done for
me to say so there, that was a thing for every right minded
American to be ashamed of, and I was ashamed of it, most
cordially and intensely ashamed of it." '
