Mexico; thence westwardly along the whole south
ern boundary of New Mexico, which runs north
of the town called NNW, to its western termina
tion; thence northward along the western line of
New Mexico until it intersects the first branch of
the river Gila, or if it should not intersect any
branch of that river, then to the point on the said
line nearest to such branch, and thence in a direct
line to the same; thence down the middle of the
said branch, and of the said river, until it empties
into the Rio Colorado;thence across the Rio Col
orado, following the ivision line between Upper
and Lower Culdonda ' to thel'acitic Ocean.
The eighth article of the treaty is in the tbllow-
Mg terms—Now established in territories previ
gusty belonging to Mexico, and which remain for
the future within the limits of the United States,
defined by the present treaty, shall be free to con
tinue where they now reside, or to remove at any
time to the Mexican Republic, retaining the pro
perty which they possess in the said territories, or
disposing thereof, and removing the proceeds
wherever they please, without their being subject
On this account to any contribution, tax or charge
whatever. Those who shall prefer to remain in
the said territories may either retain the title and
rights of Mexican citizens or acquire these of citi
zens of the United States; but they shall be under
obligation to intake their election within one year
from the date of the exchange of ratifications of
this treaty, and those who shall remain in the said
territories after the expiration of that year, with
out having declared their intention to retain the
character of Mexicans, shall be considered to have
elected to become citizens of the United States.—
In the said territories property of every description
now belonging to Mexicans not established there
shall be inviolably respected—the present owners,
the heirs of these, and all Mexicans who may
hereafter acquire said property by contract, shall
enjoy with respect to it guarantees equally ample,
as if the sante belonged to citizens of the United
States.
The ninth article of the treaty is in these words :
The Mexicans who, in the territories aforesaid,
shall not preserve the character of citizens of the
Mexican Republic, conformably with what is stip
ulated in the preceding article, shall he incorpora
ted into the Union of the United States, and be
admitted at the proper time, to be judged of by
the Congress of the United States, to the enjoy
ment of all the rights of citizens, according to the
principle of the Constitution, and in the meantime
shall be maintained awl protected in the free en
joyment of their liberty and property, and secured
in the free exercise of their religion, without re
striction.
It is plain, therefore, in the face of these treaty
stipulations, that all Mexico, established in Terri
tories north or east of the line of demarkation al
ready mentioned, come within the protection of
the 9th article, anti that the treaty being a part of
the supreme law of the land, does extend over all
such Mexicans, and assures to them perfect secu
rity in the enjoyment of their liberty and property,
as well as in the free exercise of their religion.
And this supreme law being in actual force over
this territory, is to be maintained until it shall he
displaced or suspended by other legal provisions;
and if it is obstructed or resisted by combinations
too powerthl to be suppressed by the civil :intim,
ity, the Can is one which comes within the provi
sions of the law, and which obliges the President
to entarce these provisions. Neither the Consti
tution, or the laws, nor my duty, or my oath of
office, leave me any alternative, or any choice in
my mode of action.
The Executive Government of the U. States
has no power or authority to determine what was
the true line of boundary between Mexico and the
United States before the treaty of Guadeloupe Hi
dalgo. Nor has it any such power now, since the
question has become a question between the State •
of Texas anti the United States. So far as this
boundary is doubtful, that doubt can only be re
moved by some net of Congress to whirls the as
sent of the State of Texas may be necessary, or
by some appropriate mode of legal tuljudication.
But, in the mean time, if disturbances or colli
sions arise, or should be threatened, it is absolute
ly incumbent on the executive government, how
ever painful the duty, to take care that the laws be
titithfully maintained, and he can regard only the
actual state of things as it existed at the date of
the treaty, and is bound to protect all inhabitants
who were then established, and who now remain
north and east of the line of demarkation, in the
full enjoyment of their liberty and property, ac
cording to the provisions of the ninth article of the
treaty. In other words all must now be regarded
as New Mexico which was possessed and occupied
as New Mexico by citizens of Mexico at the date
of the treaty, until a definite line of boundary shall
he established by competent authority. 'Phis as ,
sertion of duty to protect the people of New Mex
ico from threatened violence, or from seizure to
be carried into Texas for trial for alleged ottimees
against Texas laws, does not at all include any
claim of power on the part of the Executive to m ,
tablish any civil or military government within
that Territory.
That power belongs exclusively to the legisla
tive department, where Congress is the sole jutlge
of the time and manner of creating or overthrow
ing such govermnents. The duty of the Excess- •
tive is only to see the execution of the laws anal
the maintenance of treatias actually in three, and
the protection of all the people of the U. States,
the enjoyments of die rights which those treaties
and laws guaranty.
It is exceedingly desirable that no occasion shall
arise fur the exercise of the powers thus vested in
the President by the Constitution anti the laws.—
Willa whatever mildness those powers might he
executed, or however clear the case of necessity,
yet consequences might nevertheless tallow of
which no human sagacity can foresee either the
evils or the end,
Having this laid before Congress the communi
cation of his Excellency, the Governor of Texas,
and the answer thereto, and having made such ob
servations as 1 have thought the occasion called
thr, respecting constitutional obligations which may
arise in the further progress of things, and may
devolve on me to be performed, 1 hope 1 shall not
be regarded as stepping aside from the line of my
duty, notwithstanding that 1 am aware that the
subject is now before both Houses, I express my
deep and earnest conviction of the importance of
en inunediate decision or arrangement, or settle
ment of the question of boundary between Texas
and New Mexico.
All considerations of justice, general expediency
and domestic tranquility, cull for this. It seems
to be in its character, and by position, the first, or
one of the first questions wowing out of the acqui
sition of California and New Mexico, and now re
quiring decision. No Government can be estab
lished in New Mexico, either State or Territorial,
until it shall be first ascertained what New Mexico
is, and what arc her boundaries. These cannot
be fixed or known till the lino of division between
her and Texas shall be ascertained and establish
ed; and numerous und weighty reasons conspire,
in my judgment, to show that this divisional fine
*Wald be established by Congress with the assent
of the Government of Texas.
In the first place, this seems by far the most
proper mode of proceeding by which the end can
be accomplished. if judicial proceedings were re
sorted to, such proceedings would bo slow, and
years would pass by, in all probability, before the
controversy would be ended. So great a delay in
this case is to be avoided, if possible. Such delay
would be every way inconvenient, and might be
the occasion of disturbances and collisions.
For the same reason I would, with the utmost
deference to the wisdom of Congress, express a
doubt of the expediency of the appointment of
Commissioners, and of an examination, estimate,
and an award f indemnity to bo made by them.
This would be but a species of arbitration which
would last as long as a suit at law. So fur as I
ant able to comprehend the case, the general facts
are now aU known, and Congress is us capable of
deciding on it justly and properly now, as it prob
ably would he atter the report of the Commission
ers. The claim of title on the part of Texas ap-
pears to Congress to be well founded, in whole or
in part. It is in the competency of Congress to
otter an indemnity for the surrender of her claims.
In a case like this, surrounded as it is by many
cogent considerations, all calling for amicable ad
justment and immediate settlement, the govern
ment of the United States would be justified, in
my opinion, in allowing an indemnity to Texas,
not unreasonable and extravagant, but fair, liber : .
al, and awarded in a just spirit of accommodation.
I think no event would be hailed with more
gratification by the people of the U. States, than
the amicable adjustment of questions of difficulty,
which have now for a long time agitated the coun
try, and occupied to the exclusion of other stibjects,
the time and attention of Congress. Having thus
freely communicated the result of my own reflec
tions on the most admirable mode of adjusting the
boundary question, I shall nevertheless, cheerful
ly acquiesce in any other mode which the wisdom
of Congress may desire.
In conclusion, I repeat my conviction that eve
ry consideration of the public interest manifests
the necessity of a provision by Congress for the
settlement of this boundary question before the
present session be brought to a close. The set
tlement of other questions connected with the same
subject, within the same period, is greatly to be
desired; but the adjustment of this appears to me
to he in the highest degree important. In the
train of such au adjustment, we may well hope
that there will follow a return of harmony end
good-will, an increased attachment to the Union,
and the general satisfaction of thie country.

safely to hand. I would not have troubled you with
these few lines, but that I am impelled by n sense
of gratitude, for myself and wife; to give utterance
to our sincere and heartfelt emotions..
"My wife lam been perceptibly sinking for come
three years or more, in consequence of her great an.
gulch and suffering some months belbre and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in im
minent danger, and which was. on the Mat occasion,
despaired of 'supposed that this stateof thing. wee
inevitable, and reingued myself to meet the worst.
At this time (now about two months) I heard your
book highly spoken of. tia containing some matter.
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, I can
not express toyos the relief it aXbreied my distressed
mind and the )oy its pages imparted tome wife, on kerning that the great discovery of M. - M. Deco.
meaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which I little conceived was possible. No pecu
niary consideration can ever repay the obligations I
am under to you for having been the means of im
parting to us the matters contained in The Married

this, ere another year wonhl have paned over my
head, in all human probability my wife would have
been in her grave, and my children left motherless."

moat invaluable Married Woman's Private Medical

to me. If I express myself rather warmly, you will
see that I can not do so too warmly. when I inform
you of the extent to which I have, through it, been
benefited. I will state my sitnation when I obtained
your book through the merest cariosity I look upon
it as one of the moat fortunate events of my life. I
had been married some ten yearn, and was the father
of seven children. I was long straggling unceasingly
to the end that I might gain a moderate competency,
but the results of my utmost exertions at the end left
me about where I was at the beginning of each year;
and that only, with the most stinted economy, tialf
clog with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this
constant effort was beginning to have its effect upon
my health felt less capable to endure its continu
ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance.
"This constant, unceasing straggle on my part was
imperative, in consequence of the prostrated condi
tion of my wife (with occasional intermission) for six
years, much of the time confined to her bed, and of
course incapable of taking the charge and teenage
meat of household affairs. Her condition arose from
causes of which I was ignorant. Oh I what would
I have given had I the tux yearn to live over again!
What would my wife have given to have been spared
the long days and still longer nights prostrate on a
bed of sickness I—all of which would have been
avoided, had I then seen a copy of • Tux MARRIED
