This assertion of duty to protect the people of New 11exico from threatened violence or from seizure, to be carried into Texas for irial for .lleged offences ang'iist Texan laws. does not at all include any claim of power on tie ipart of the Execuive to esta:bli: Ia nv civil or military governiuent wi~hin thlia: ter ri:orv. T/l0a porer belongs exclii.'ively to the legislative department, and Congre.ss - the sole judge of' the time and naoner or creatinzti or authorizing aiiy schin governnients. The dity of the Exeutive extends only to the exceution of' laws:md the maintenane' of treaties vctually in force, and protecion of :l1 the people of the United States in the enjoyment of the rights which' those treaties and laws guarantee. It is exceedingly desirable that no occasion should arise for the exercise of the powers thus vested in the President liv the Constitu tion and the aivs. . ith whatever mildne-s those powers miprht be e::eented, or however clear thle case ofteessity, yet Consequernees might nevertheles follow, of whieh no hi. man sagracity Can focSee either tie evils or thle end. Ilaving thus laid before Congress the com nuniention of His Excellency the Governor of Texas, and the answer thereto, and hav i i made such observations as I are thought, the uccasion called for respecting constitt tional obligations which may arise in the furtherprogress of things, and may devolve on me to be performed, I hope I sfi;all not be regarded as stepping aside from the line of my duty. nohtithstanding that I in aware thait the subject is now beforeboth IHouses, if I express my deep and earnest coni'ietion of the importance of an iminediate decision or arrangement,- or settlement of' the ques tion of boundary betveen Texas and the ter ritory of New Mexico. All considerations of justice, geieral" extedieney, :nd domestic tranquility call for this. It- seems to be, i is chairacter and by position, the first. of one of the first, of the questions growing ount of the acquisition of Califlori'a and New Mexico, land now requiring decision. No government can beistaeblished for New Mexico, ither State 6rTerritory, un:il it shall be * first ascertaiine*ihat New Mexico is, and what are her liniits and bound.;ries. These cannot be fixed or known, till the line of division between her and Texas shall be ascertained and established-and numerous and weighty reasons conspire. tin my judge. ment, to show that this divisional line should be established by Congress, with the assent of the government of Texas. In the first plce. this seems by far the most prompti mode of proceeding, by vich the end can he ae coiplished. If' Judicial proceedings were resorted to, such proceedings would neces sarily be slow, :nl years would pa!s by, in 4lli'ob:bilit, btfore the controver:.y could t a deay i:i this ease, ik justly andc prop'r!y now, as it pirto.t ty w ould~ jbe after)h 1rportL of the commiimners. uap iars to lConizrec to be well faIeo~ d, in T 4bhle jy in part iti i the coiipu'tiicy of Coi lgreet to' offer her an indetmnoi'ytfor the r~urr dier of that claim.
