erty and property according to the provisions
of the 6th article of Ihe treaty; in other words,
all must be now regarded as New Mexico
which was possessed and occupied as New
IMlexico by citizens of Mexico at the date of
the treaty, until a definite line of boundary
shall be established by competent authority.
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

by excessive drinking. And the Scriptu

ire not wise-and whati truth it is? Per
sons under the influenco- of superstitimi
idolatory and delusion are saidtombe drunk,
because they make no use of their -natural
reason. Drunkenness expels reason from
the mind of man, and leads him astray into
the wilds of passion. "It is an abominatior'
that maketh desolation-a destruction that
walketh at noonday, and wastellhatmidnight."
Go to our Asylums, our. Jails, or Leniten
tiries, you will find that the greatest amount
of piperism and crime emanates
snurce-from the excessive use o
spirifn. Go to the graveyards, and yo
find that hundreds and thousands havef nI

It is lime for all lovers of - goo
