The constitutional duty of the President is plain and peremptory: andl the authority vest ed in him by law, for its performance,' elear and ample. Texas is a State authorized to matintaini her own lawn, so tlur as they nre not repugnant to the Constitution, laws and treaties of the United States; to suppress inlsurrections against her authority, and to punish those who may commtit treason against the State, - according to the forms provided by her own constitut ion and her own laws. - But all this power is local and confmned en tirely within the limnits of'Texas haerself. She can possibly confer no atuthority which catn be lawfully exercised beyond hert own boun daciries. All this is platin, and hardly needs argument or elucidation. If Texan militia, therefore, march into any onie of the other States, or into any territory of the United States, there to execute or enforce any law of Texats, they become at that tmoment trespasse'rs; they are no longer under the protcction of atny lawful authority, and are to be regarded merely as intruders; and if within snch Stale or Terri tory they obstruet any latw of the United, either by power of arms or mere power of numbers, constituting such a combination as is too powerful to be suppressed by the eivil authority, the P'resident of the United States has no optioni left to him, but, is bound to - obey the solemn injunction of the Constitui tutio, and, exerie the high unwaer vestd in him by that instrument and by the Aets of Congress. Or, if any civil posse, armed or unarmed, enter into any Territory of the United St-ates, under the-protection of the laws thereof, with intent to seize individuals to be carried else where for trial for alleged offiences, and this posse be too powerful to be resisted by the local and civil autlorities, suich siztire or attempt to seize is to be prevemed or resisted by the authority of the United State. The grave nd important question now arises, whether there be in the Terriory of New Mexico any existing law of the United States, opposition to which, or tie obstruc tion of which, would constitute a case calling for the interposition of the authority vested in the President. The Constitution of the United States declares that '. this Constitution and the laws of the United State. which shall be made in pursuance ti idf ,an ill he fe ftiein mijide, or which sh be inde under theiashority of ,the United tes, shallbe'the- supreme law of the land."-If; thefiNew $exico be Tj1erritory of the Uit&if Stafeiiindif any trat ipltionbeii ffer c threiirl such treaty stipulation the supreme -law of the lan i.nd is tobe m.dntained and upheld ac cordiugly.-. . In the letter to the Governor of Texas,.my reasons are given for - believing that New Mexico is noiv a Teritory of th6 United States, with the same extent and the same boundaries which-belongedlto it, while in the actual possession of the Republic of Mexico, and before the-late war. In the early part of that w th CaliforniaL and New Mexico were. red by the arms .of the United .Stt ere i-the nilitary possession of the& it-thdate of the treaty of , e 'b 1 conquest was inigs rqvinces. or tre6 t%.n Mexico forever! cerain imporfant 'TI.-.solemnly guarmn ing there ,. uu- etreaty. it is de AW aY V:., wen tlie, 10 16 hall II.sf h- the Gulf of -Mexi :1-e i,.:i". land opposite the outh of the Rio Grande, otherwise called Rio Bravo Del Norte, -or opposite the th of its deepest branch if it should hav.e altothan one branch, emptying directly into .tl'eea; from'thence up'the 'middle of that . rirfollo*ing tlie deepest chsnnel where it a moto than one,7 to -the point where it es the Squthern boundary of New Mexi Ao; t l-e weT -11 -along the whole south era iidary o lexico, (which runs iorh of the town e Paso,) to itewestern trnination; thene orthward alqng the west ern, lin 'of'N6 MLxico, iintil it iitersects the first braneh of the river Gila, (or if it- h'uld not intersect any branch of t river, then to.the point on the-said linoe to such branch, and thence in a 'ne to tj same;) thence down the middle of the said - . . - - ' n2til iten jties wherever they preaste, witottes m afiiejtedon tis acce<dt,.to any contr b tion, ta-;or- ch-irgihatev er. -"'rThose whio sb:dl prefer to rea. said Territories ndyS cit . .. t te -i and rights o --' eltIzenst. or -neqre rt~-- hens of the United States.

In the sadd Territories, property of every kind, ntow belonging to Mexicans not estab lished there, s'wall be inviolably respected. The present owners, the hters of these, and all Mexicans wvho may 'hereafter acquire teiid property by contract, shall enjoy, with respect t o it, guairanties.equnally ample as -if the-same belonged to citizens of the United States." The ninth article of the treaty is in these words: " The 3fe-deaims who. in the tereo' aforesaid, sha~ll not preserve the character (i itizens of the Mexican Republie, conforma bly with what is. stipulated ini the preceding article, be incorporated into the Union of the United States, and be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of by the Congres~s of the' United .States,) to the~ enjoyment of all the rights of~ citizens of the United States, ac cording to the principles of the Conistitunion; and in the meantime shaill be maintained and protceted in the free enjoymnt or their lib erty and property, and secured in the free exercise of their religion, without restriction." It is plain, therefore, on the face of these treaty stipulations, that all Mexicnns estab lishe'd in territories north or east of the line of demarkation already mentioned, come with in the protection of the ninth article, anud that the treaty, being a part of the supreme laws of the fand, does extend over all such Mexicans, and assures to themn perfect cecuri t y in the 1 njoyment of their liberty and pro perty, vell' as int te free exercise of their religion ; and this. supreme law of the land being thus in actual force over this ter ritory, is to be masintained unitil it shall be di-.pl ced or superseded by other legal pro viions; and if it is obstructed or resisted by combinations too powverful to be sumppressed by the civil authority, the case is one which eirmes within the provisions, of1 the law, and which oibliges thme P'ro.ident to enforce these proisions. Neithter the constitution, nor the lasmr myv duty, nor my oath of office, leave ni mv alternative, or any choice in my mode of a:ction. Thme Executive Government of' the United States has no power or authorli y to deter m i'hat was thme true hine of boundary be tween Mexico and thme United States before the treaty of Guadalupe Ilidalgo, ncar has it :ny such power no0w, since time questioni ha~s become a question between the State of Tex as and thme United States. So fatr as this boundary is donbtful, that doubt can only be removed by some act of Congress, to which the assent o f the W5 of TIexas may be necssary, orby some approIlriate mode of legal adjudication ; butt inm the meantime if dis turbancs or collisions arise or should be theatened, it is absolu:ely ir.ceumbent on the Execuive Government. iowwver painful the datvy, to take care that the laws be faithfully maintined; and lhe can regard only the actu nl state of things as it existed at the date of' the treaty, and is boutnd to pbroteCt all inhabmi tants \vvho wem then established, and wvho now renmai north anid east of the line of de .mart..io, in the full eniuvnit of their lih. erty and property accord ing proviios of the 6th article of the tre Aher werds, all must be now rigadd i e Mexico which was possessediand nieupied as New Mexico by citizeniof ' ioat the date of the treaty, until ad6filtut me of boundary shall be established by competent authority. This assertion of duty lo protbotAthipeople of New Mexico from threatened viqlenee or from seizure, to be earred intofexsio trial for alleged offences aga-inst Texan la's, does not at all include any clain of power on the part of the Executive to establih any civil or military government within that ter ritory. That potrer belongs exclusively t the leoislative department, and Congress the- sle judgetof-the time and manner o creating or authorizing any such governments. The duty of the Executive extends only to the execution of laws and the maintenance of treaties actually in force, and protection of all the pe6jple of the Uriit'd States in the enjoyment of the-rights whiclr those tren' and laws guararitee.

If, therefore, the conquest of Mexico, and theTreaty of Gauda 1upe Ifidalgo, established her right to the coun try between the Nucces hnd. the Rio Granle, it established it likewyise to the counties in question. The ttle of Texas to both, rests upon the same foundation.

Mn. EDITOR:-I hope that..you will agin indulge me, whilst I attempt to address, through the medium of your paper, my friends in "Old Edgefield," upon the subject before partially noticed. It cannot -be but interest ing to persons who wish to emigrate to :a stratnge place, to learn something about the society, productions, the trades, &c., also, the advantages and disadvantges with which they would have to contend. First, I will. notice the Farme they are the great propelling power, whi - s -for ward every.o.ther trade an 411 mutually-dependant upon mer coming to this country ney enonh to buy land which this kind of land can be bon and $7, per acre.

Unless he be thus fitted out, he can not be independent, nor work to advantage. Horses from the Eastern States, and even those from Tennessee and Kentcky, are very liable to diseases here, especially larg-e, or fine blooded stock-hundre'ds~ie from blind staggers." 1*i rou'ht outtwo one Northern and two Western horses; bh o1f o the Western horses died, but the ]oney is y alive, and was as " slick as a mole," when I saw her L She used to belong to Dr. H1. B--,al.we e:dled her the "Doodle,": you know. We are near 50 miles from Market, (Montgomery.) - We have to travel over, or rather under the worst' roads in the United. Statbs. The " Devil's Race Paths," in Eage field, issa perfect turnpike, compared to our fry is more or less su'bjedt fo disaisr andfi many pl.:ces it has ieeh srlotsly .j ire -cz vr since I came out.

Corn and Oats grow finely y Wheat 'li:Esn)1 tially f.:iled for the last few years, oWing to the late frosts and runt.- I am certainr:tpatj wheat will never be :mecessfully r-aised ia inm section of Alab una. If the soilia adapted$'its growth, w~e have no flib mills nearer than 30 or 40 miles which will make a good article. Our soil will not pro duce vegetables like the soil in Catrolina; we cannot ratise Cabbage like you can-,-we plant Coleworts better known - by~ the name of "Kollards.." There are, however, so'me culi nry vegzetables wvheh-grow 9ery well here, suhas PotatoeA, Turnips, Beans, &c. We Irve no range for cattle, nor da our farmers c lover nor grass of any kind, for pas ~s. I think many kindah of grass would do well ia this counmtry. They will soon, compelled to adopt this method in ord s;.pport their stock. Hoga woul do hecre if the farmer wvoulhl raise grain and h pastures for them. Cotton is the great staple of thia country. People neglect everything else for it ; they mke Cotton to buy negroes, mules, hogs, four, sugar, molaisses, tob::cco, all of which can be successfully raised i'n this State, if the people would be independanut, and prepare to do so. I do believe if Cotton only brought 5 cents per pound, for five years sucecessively, that the farmers in this country would live more independantly, comfortably and con tentedly. When Coatton bears a lowv price, farmers turn their attention to stock and grain raiing, which is the life, and should be the delight of every people ;-they'sooni fjdthat they cran raise many things which they'.before' had to buy at a high price. Where can we find a family sc contented and happy at that of the farmer; who makes~ almost everything Ghimjh you sec'about him,-such a man. will never be a skeptie, nor his family immoral ior irreligious, for all see God's blessings Ishoered dire~tiy upon them,-and learn from childhood to reverence mid adore. that iing, who is able to caiuse thein own domain, to teerh with everything calculated-to satisfy their wants and make them hanpy" In conclusion I. will aavi e agi who mny liedi posed to look ou~u yao~s, to reime:nber Iibi well they r situ-a the mny advantalis mid' comforts With wfnich they are gurrounded, and thiin count tipost of goinigto a strange place. -I hope that all the g'ood peoplc of Edgeficld, S.
