These ire the words of the committee s bill?s
cession?ft mutus! cession of territory from etch
te the other, and in terms which imply title in
each The United Sutes cede to Texas all the
territory that lies south of the committee's line ;
Texas oedes to the United States all the territory
that lies north of it. It is the act of two owners
acting independently of each other, and making
an exchange of land, and in terms which imply an
equality of title iu the respective cessions Upon
the words of this clause, then, this transfer to
Texas is a cession from the United States, and
conveys to Texas the right, title, and claim, of the
United States to all the territory cede!. Another
part of the bill is equally explicit in treating this
transfer as a cession The sixth clause is in these
words:
" Sixth If ibr uiil >Wtcf I tii* klitil refuse or dec'mo
to acrede to tbe precejiug articles, the? shall become null
and void, and the United Stairs shall he remilleil duck to
all thslr territorial rifhtt, in tbe same state and condition
as If these articles of compact had ri'ver been tendered to
the acceptance of tbe State of Teas* "
This is confirmation, both of the cession and of
the title of the United States It makes a provision
for resuming the title of the United States
if the exchange is not agreed to by Texas. It
remits the title?sends it back?to the United
States if Texas does not accept! and, to give more
emphatic meaning to this remission, as a return
to its former owner, the expletive "back" is superadded?a
redundancy of phrase which could
only be justified by the extreme desire of saving
the title of the United States if the committee
cannot succeed in giving it away.
The report of the committee, in explanation
and support of their bill, fully accords with these
two clauses of the bill itself it treats the line
they propose as making a cession of United States
territory to Texas, and carefully reclaims the
title, if the cession is not accepted. Thus;
"If this boundary be mmented to by Texas, she will tie
quieted to that eatent In her title. And some may suppose
that, in consideration of this conces a ion by the United States,
she might, without any other equivalent, relinquish any
claim she has beyond tbe proposed boundary: that is, any
claim to any part of New Mexico Hut, under the influence
of a sentiment of justice and great liberality, the hill proposes
to Texas, f r her relinquishment of any such claim, a
large pecuniary equivalent."
And again:
" It cannot he anticipated that Texas will decline to accede
to these liberal propositions; but If she should, it is to
be distinctly understood that the title of the United States
to anv territory acquired from Mexico east of the Itio
Grande, will remain unimpaired, an I in the same condition
as if the proposals of adjustment now oflered bad never been
made."
Here are two distinct confirmations of the
meaning expressed in the committee's bill, and
shows that the import of the words employed by
them was duly and cautiously considered. " Concession"
is the term tbey apply to it, which is the
equivalent of oession, which is itself equivalent to
the word grant 41 Unimpaired" is to be the state
of the United States title, if the concession is not
accepted by Texas; and, as an acquisition from
Texas,ibe remaining part of New Mexico is proposed
to be held. The words all imply cession
and acquisition ; and in that, the bill and report
are right. It is a cession of seventy thousand
square miles of New Mexico to Texas for nothing!
with a proposal to purchase the remaining part of
New Mexico from her at u greater price! The
whole crowned by a bungling Ralvo to HIIVA Alir I
title " unimpaired,'' if TexaB cannot be induced
to accept these fine terms?terms which give her
both our land and our money. Thus, the report
accords with the bill, and sustains my proposition
1 now proceed to other evidence.
Here is a map! the title, contents, date, and
verification of which are vital to this inquiry. It
is entitled, A Map of the State of Texas, by
Cordova , and it declares itself to be compiled
from the records of the General Land Office of the
State, and is dated in the spring of 1849, and
professes to give every county, every town, land
district, river, and stream, in the State; and is
verified by the signatures of the Senators and
Representatives of the State in Congress, by the
Commissioner of the General Land Office, and the
attestation of the Governor, and of the Secretary
of State. It must be assumed to be an authentic
map of the State, such aa it was at the time of
Us compilation?spring of 1949?and will not be
questioned by Texas, and is the sole evidence for
which the United States will have occasion in
maintaining the possession of all .New Mexico
until the question of title shall be competently
disposed of It shows the possession of Tex ts as
it stood at the time that the United States acquired
New Mexico. It is the mop of possession?the
m*D of the State as Dossessed?nt that identical
moment, vital to this question; it extends from
the Sabine to 102? of west longitude. And here
is a reduced map in the corner of the large one,
embracing; the country from the Mississippi river
to the Pacific ocean, and showing the whole extent
of the claim of Texas I will explain the reduced
map first. Here it is, (holding it up) The
blue color represents the whole claim of Texas,
extending to the head of the Del Norte, and
thence to north latitude 12?, where it corners
with Oregon and California, having "Santa Fe
county" written upon it, near San Miguel?the
place where the Texan expedition was taken
prisoner in the year 1M1. The small red and
yellow squares in the eastern part of this little
map represent the counties, land districts, and
the colonial land grants in Texas, and they show
that the longitude of 102??the same which I propose
for the western limit of Texas?was the utmost
limit to which any land district or occupied
county then extended. Fannin land district extended
precisely to that longitude, and is bounded
by it. Bexar oounty extended in that direction,
but without a settler near lu This is what the
little map shows, the whole claim of Texas, covering
all New Mexico east of the Del Norte?and
her actual |?oeaeseion limited to the eastern side
of the longitude of 1026.
I now recur to the large map, entitled A Matt
of the State of Ttiat; and first read the certificates
of verification which I find on its fhce.
These are they:

This is the line which I propose, and opon the
adoption of which the sense of the Senate will
betaken It is entirely different from that of the
committee, and makes a difference of 70,000
square miles to the United States territory
in New Mexico, according to its adoption or rejection.
I have diligently studied the report of the committee
to find out the principle on which they
could take a line beginning above El Paso to divide
the territories of New Mexico and Texas?
a line which, conforming to neither claim, falsifies
both! and which, contradicting history, geography,
and law, invalidates itself! I have been
greatly at a loss to discover the principle on which
such an anomalous line could be based ; and suppose
I have found it, so far as it can be found, iu
the paragraph of the committee's report, which
1 will read. This is it.
" Tlie committee be* leave next to report on the subject
j of the northern and western boundary of Texss. On that
1 question a great direr ji/y of opinion has prevailed Aoeord|
ing to one rieie of it, 'he western limit of Texas was the
.Vuecc* , ao-cording to another, it extended to the fiio
: ttrande. and stretched from its inouth to its source. A ma\
joiih, of the committee, curing come to the conclusion of
1 recommending sn amy able ml jus merit of the boundary
with Texas abstain from erprestrrig ant/ opinion as to
the true and legitimate western and northern boundary of
that State. The terms proposed for such an adjustment
are contained in the hill herewith repor ed, and they ?re,
with inconsiderable variation, the same aa that reported by
the Committee on Territories.
" According to these terms, it is proposed to Texas that
her Iroundary he tecog'ist/l to the Fio Grande, and up that
river to the point commonly culled HI Paso, and running
thence up that river twenty miles, measured thereon by a
straight line, and ther.ce e-stwardly to a point where the
I hundredth degree of west longitude crosses Ked river ; being
| the southwee angle in the line designated l>e'ween the
United States and Mexico, and the same angle in the
line of the territory set nptrt for the Indians by the United
States "
This is it! hip! a pretty light it ih to guide the
Congress of (he United States?a great diversity
of opinion among the people, and no opinion at I
I all in the committee. Some think the .Nueces the I
1 true and legitimate western boundary something j
j it extends to the Rio Grande. The committee ;
think neither one nor the other, nor anything
else ; hut, having come to the conclusion to recommend
an amicable adjustment, they abstain from
expressing any opinion as to the true and legitimate
western boundary of Texas! and then,
w ithout any regard to what is either true or legit- j
imate, they cut New Mexico in two, and give '
half of her to Texas. If the committee had
studied the question of boundary, and expressed
an opinion, und then made their line conformable
to it, their recommendation might have been entitled
to great weight. Rut they do no such thing.
They do not study the question They expressly
abstain from it. They neither give an opinion
of their own nor adopt that of anybody else.
They neither take the Nueces, as they say some
believe, nor the Rio Grande, as they say others
believe ; nor name any line which they themselves
believe ; but, goiDg it blind?making a half and
half business of it?cutting instead of untying
the Gordian knot?they take a new course across
ths Puercos, beginning half way up the Pel
Norte, cut New Mexico in two just below the
hips, and give the lower half to Texas, leaving
New Mexico to stump it about us she can, without
feet or legs
This is called abstaining from expressing an
opinion ; but it is certainly acting an opinion,
and executing it also. They amputate New
Mexico?cut her in two just below the middle?
give half to Texas?and call that no opinion.
Sir, there was once a dispute before a wise mnn
with respect to the maternity of a child. Two different
women claimed to he its mother, and Solomon,
puxzled with their contradictory asseverations,
and not able to decide which was the true
and legitimate mother, Hnd abstaining from expressing
any opinion, orJered the child to he out
in two, and half of it to be given to each You
know how it ended. The true mother would not
have the child cut in two ! and the wise man knew
that 1 and his judgment was nothing but a device
to find out the truth by making nature speak. I
do not know whether our committee have acted on
the policy of Solomon?Solomons though they all
may be; nor, iu fact, upon what policy or principle
they acted. There is no point from the
head to the mouth of the river which may not be
taaen on tue Name prtuciplo Amicable adjustment
is tbe only rule they profess, and that seems
to be very amicable ; and, according to what they
propose, all their amicability runs in one chinnel,
and all their adjustment leans to one side. They
give seventy thousand square miles of New Mexico
to Texas, and offer her $10,000,000 to accept
it! This is amicable enough to Texas, and adjustment
enough to suit her 1 But how does it
suit the United States and New Mexico? Mow
does it suit truth and justice?that true and legitimate
line which the committee did not even pretend
to ascertain 1
The committee propose a consideration to be
paid by the United States to Texas?how much
they do not say in their bill or report, but rumor
talks of $10,000,000. This is what the report
says:
" A? aeonalderatlon for It, and eniiatderlug (hat a portion

Tbe consideration in not named; but some
thing* are named which may help to form a judgment
ait to what It ought to be. Let. us consider
them. In the first place, this is an affair of mutual
cession?sn exchange of land?so much on
one side, and so much on the other?and then
boot from the U nited Slates to Texss to the figure
of some millions. The first question is, how much
land does each glee? And the committee answers
for Texas, with great precision, a little Ices
than IU4 i?38 square miles, including that part of
New Mexico which lies east of the Rio Grande ,
and I answer for New Mexioo, 70,000 square
milee, including the El Paso and Puerco country
i 'pon the figures, Texas would seem to hare ceded
moat, and entitled to receive boot; but when it
comes to be considered that this cession from
Texas includes all New Mexico east of the Del
Norte, from twenty miles above El P.tso to the
head of the river?that it cedes five hundred miles
of what was New Mexioo for a hundred years be
'HE NATIONAL ERA
for* the name of Texas had been heard of? I
that it includes thirty towns and Tillages, and i
70,0<>0 New Mexican people who admit no allegiance
to Texas?then it becomes a question
whether this fire hundred miles of New Mexioo
should not be deducted from the committee's quantity
of 124,933 square miles I happen to be of
that opinion, and so would deduct about .'>0.000
square miles from the committee's count. That
would make the two cessions about equal in extent,
about equal in quantity. And now for quality
and ealue How would the two cessions stand
in that respect? Evidently the 70 000 square

the "3,000 ceded by Texas. It is in a better climate,
being all of it south of 34?, and part as far
south as -,'9^ ; while the Texan cession goes up
to 42, in the Rocky Mountains?within thirty
miles of the South Pass, and cornering on Oregou
and California. It is better land It hascivilixed
people upon it?four or fife thousand at San
Eleaxario, and two or three thousand at other
places It is unencumbered with resident Indians,
and will be ready for immediate sile and settlement.
and lies in the direct track from the lower
Mississippi to the northern parts of the Republic
of Mexico, and theGila route toCalifornia and the
Pacific ocean It is the most yaluable cession,
equal in extent, better in climate and quality, and
more desirable from position. And jet the committee
propose boot?good boot?some millions
That is not the rule in the horse swap It is not
the rule to gife the best horse, and then gire the

This is candid. Doubtless many will suppose,
as the committee think some will, that the I'nitid
States had gifen land enough without superaddI
ing money to it. They would thiuk so upon the
' yery reasonable principle, that when a man had
! given up half his land to quiet a claim to it, that
he should not pay mcney for the other half, especially
when he belieeed both halfes belonged
u;_'?lc ...I .. W?? Wo Wo.I r.ooaosoo.1 it all fao
two hundred and fifty years. It is eery rea|
sooable, in such a ose, that some would suppose
that he had done enough in giving up half. I,
myself, would certainly be one of that some.
But not so the committee. They have a new rule
to go by. unknown in trade or politics before.
They have recourse to sentiment! and, under its
influence, and from a feeling of great liberality,
mtU-make other eauiealent" tcTexjsfor
relinquishing her claim to tne rest or new memc#*
This is the way it stands in the committee's bill
and rej-ort . and 1 give what they say in their own
words, that tfcerk e.vj bw no mistake about it;
another equivalent is what they propose. One
might suppose that one evuiqaient was enough,
but they propose another, so that there shall be
both a moneyed and a landed equivalent to Texas
Now, 1 object to all this I object to accepting a
cession of New Mexico from Texas, first, because
the Uuited States has a claim to it herself, and
has the actual possession, w hich is a right to possession
until the claim is decided. Secondly, be- 1
cause the acceptance of such a cession would admit
the title of Texas to all New Mexico east
of the Rio Grande, and so raise questions to disturb
both New Mexico and* the United States.
Thirdly, because we give more valuable territory
than we receive, and then pay the value of what 1
we receive into the bargain, and which was our own
before.
Sir, this is strange work A committee undertaking
to guide, in a case where they admit
they have not looked for either truth or law?
prescribing ? line, which they admit to be neither
true nor legitimate?abstaining from expressing an
opinion, and yet enforcing an opinion?making a
sacrifice, and calling it a compromise?undertaking
to save New Mexico, and saving herby giving
awiy one half, und purchasing the other half
This is strange work, and new work, in the
American Senate but let us go on with it.

principle ? It is an exchange of territory?a mutual
cession?and Texas receives better than she
gives Is it for the remaining part of New Mexico
! If so, it is unjustifiable to purchase what
we already possess, and dangerous to iouse the
questions to which the admission of Texan title
to New Mexico would inevitably give rise. This
is too serious a question to be lightly evoked. If
the Stute of Texas now covers the Santa Ke
country, as the hill and report of the committee
admit, then the Constitution and laws of Texas
are in force there! and this is what the Senate
will say if it sanctiouH the committee's bill; and
what cannot be said without rousing great questions.
A moneyed consideration is to be paid to Texas
hut. how much is kept a profound secret, for the
profound reason of preventing jobbing in this
Texas stock. In the mean time it seems to he
known in the knowing circles, that ten millions
is the amount to be offered; and on that basis stock
jobbing is rife! nnd three hundred per centum
has already been the advance. The chauce of
PalifArnSa fnr mi mi uui An nml r% f t \\ a Iwa TnimifA
rit-8 for Governments, rises and fulls with this
rise and fall of Texas stock. They are all in
one cart together?California, Utah. New Mex- |
ico, Texas boundary, and Texas stock ; and uuist \
all go through or balk together , and all depends
upon the Texas stock.
Th.e committee say, in their report, it is not to
be anticipated that Texas will refuse to accede to
their liberal propositions. That, 1 presume, will
depend upon the amount ot money with which
that carefully-guarded blnnk is to be filled ; and
that is not to be tilled until the last moment?until
the bill is on its third reading. Then the fill- j
ing is to come; and upon the quantity of it, I presume,
the vote of the State of Texas is to depend?
both the State in its rejection, or acceptance of the
proposed terms, and her representatives here, in
voting for or against the bill which contains them.
I spoik of the State and of her representatives
here, as I would speak of my own State, and of myself,
under the like circumstances. Our first duty
is to our owl State; and under the sense of that
duty, the vote of the Texas Senators on this bill?
this omnibus bill, in which the admission of California
and Governments to the two Territories is
mixed up with money to Texas?their vote upon
the whole bill must depend. Money enough to
Texas, and they go it! and all the measures are
carried. Not money enough to Texas, and they
halt! and all the measures are lost. It is not only
an enormity in itself to make the passage of the
other great measures dependent, upon the amount
of money voted to Texas, hut it leads to a vicious
and ronderouahle mode of fixing that amount.
V* l.??: ? l... u : ..i. ?n
it irnua tu vu>iii^ ua* rtuiuuut, nnt w men i pjih T
ought to receive, but of what will pn>s the hill! j
Hii'i to the contrarj, what will defeat the bill. (
Thus, those intent upou the bill must vote a large t
sum to secure the Texas vote those opposed to it "
must, vote a small sum or nothing, in order to de- '
feat it. This is vicious voting, aud to be condemned
everywhere. A jury that should make
up a verdict in that way would have their verdict 1
set aside and themselves reprimanded What '
should be done to us and our verdict under the "
same circumstances ? For one, 1 confess the vice '
of my vote, and lay its blame on those who force "
me into the false position in which I am to vote 1
In a bill by herself, and for such a line as I pro- 1
pose, 1 would vote Texas a liberal sum in this '
connection and under these circumstances, not a 1
cent. 1
Mr. President, there is something overruling '
in the affairs of men, which, in the end, brings j "
out thiugs right, and establishes the dominion of i J
truth and justice , and never was this overruling 1
superintendence more visible than now. Here '
are measures of the most discordant kind clapped 1
together iu one bill, in violation of all parliament- j
ary law, and to the ruin of all fair legislation, 1
in order to force some measures to carry others 1
It is the most flogrant case of parliamentary iin- f
propriety which the history of our legislation has '
ever presented; and, to rebuke aud crush it, }
here is the highest proof ifs enormity which 1
the wisdom of man could have devised. Votes *
are nearly balanced on this floor, for or against '
this ^nglomerate bill. There are two Texas 1
votes ou this floor, ami they count four?two olf 1
and two on?and every one knows that these votes '
w ill decide the fate of the bill,and that they thera- 1
selves will be decided by the amount of money 1
to be voted to Texas. Sir, I touch a point which
is still ahead, and which I will not develop now. ! j
Wheu wo come to the tilling up of that mysteri- i
blank so carefully guarded, I may he able to dem- c
oust rate that the etfeot of this conglomeration of t
bills, and that reservation of a blank, to be filled at t
the last moment, is to open an auction upon the floor t
of the Senate, for the votes which are to carry , t
through the omnibus bill, with all its multifarious s
and heterogeneous contents. The tilling of the 1
blank may develop the foot, that the admission of s
California, and the establishment of (dovernnienta t
for two Territories,may depend upon the amount i
of money to be paid to Texas; and, if it does, it will j
present the highest evidence of the fl igrant enor- |
mity of tackiug incongruous bills together which \
the history of American or British legislation has
ever exhibited. The bill isotught JLigratUt dtluto?
taken in the fact?seised by the throat, and held

and held it up)?in the very act of perpetratiug

votes to paw itaelf I seise it in the act, and hold

to be reonrred to, and its fate to stand as a warning

do?vote for or against the bill, and all its
measures, according to the amount of money to
go into the blank?and with the same sentiment
of profound humiliation which they must
feel. And this shows the enormity of such unnatural
conjunctions of discordant measures. And
here 1 will use an argument but lately come to
hand, but which ought to hare its weight on this
occasion I allude to the new Constitution of Kentucky,
and its salutary provision against the ruinous
practice of " log-rolling." In section thirtyseven
of article two of that instrument, there is
this provision evert bill shall contain but one
st biect, and that shall he clearlv explained
in the title. This is the sentiment of Kentucky
on the fatal practice of tacking incongruous bills
together. She has pointed her constitutional cannon
against it. True, we are not bound by the provisions
of her constitution ; but we are bound to
respect the principle of morality in which it is
founded, and of course to condemn and repudiate
this omnibus bill, freighted with so many subjects,
and dependent for its passage on the amount of
money to be voted out of the public Treasury to
the State of Texas.
Sir, 1 have myself, in a bill now before the Sentlement
ot per western oounuary ; out \ pTupoweu
no mutual cessions?no exchange of territory?
no dismemberment of New Mexico?no purchase
of the Santa Fe country?no giving away our
own territory, and paying Texas to takei'. My
proposals steer clear of all that folly and blunder.
This is what I proposed :
" Art. 3. The State of Tan o?ile* to the United S'?te*
all her territory exterior to the limiU U> whioh the reduce*
heraelf by the ftn?t article of f hie eoin)>act.''
And the limits then proposed by me for her reduction
were the same as now proposed ?102? of
west longitude, and <4 of north latitude. This
is all the cession that my bill proposed?a cession
from Texas only?and not of all t/u territory, |
but of all Asr territory exterior to her reduced
limits. This avoided the consequences of a cession
from her of the whole oountry, including .New
Mexico as a part of Texas. It avoided the consequence
of holding the Santa Fe country as
a purchase from Texas. It avoided the consequence
of admitting all that country to have tern

serious and disturbing oonse.juences in which the
committee's bill would involve us. For such a
line as 1 proposed to Texas ceding no territory

to ancient title and present actu^nosre-*ion 1

The committee can iod no excuse in my offer
far theirs. And here 1 addrsss myself Bi nt especially
to that member of the committee vMr
Cooper, of Pennsylvania) who seems to have become
its organ at this point; and 1 say to him. and
through him to the committee, there is nothing in
the one to justify the other. The two offers are
as different as the two extracts from that sarsaparillaroot?"
Heaven wide apart, and infimtdy dissimilar,
and not alike in any trvoparticulars,and having
no two qualities tu commonOne begius twenty
miles in a straight line above El Paso?the
other three hundred miles in a straight line below
it. One is latitudinal?the other longitudinal.
One runs east?the other north. One cuts New
Mexico in two?the other goes round her. One
cedes seventy thousand square miles of New Mexro
to Texas?the other cedes nothing to her. One
accepts the remainder of New Mexico as a cession
from Texas?the other holds her as a cession from '
the Republic of Mexico. One conforms to the
ancient title, present possession, and geographical i
affinities?the other violates all these conditions! j
One raises the slave question, and in its double
aspect of actnal extension of slavery into one half i
of New Mexico, and its implied legal existence in 1
ihe other half?the other avoids both theseqme- ]
lions by leaving both New Mexico and TexasjiHt ,
is they are. One admits the Texan laws sad
Constitution to be in force in all New Meiico '
mat of the Rio Grande?the other asserts (he
Mexican law to be in force there. These are I
tome of the points of difference between my offer
tnd the committee's, and which 1 will thaot the ,
Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cooper) torecol- <
ect the next time he speaks on the subject, and 1
credit the differences on the right side of the
iccount. But there is another difference, and
if another kind, between the two offers, and
which may be fully developed when we conie
o the work of filling up that coy and senlitive
blank, upon which the committee are
<o dumb, and the knowing ones so knowing. My
iffer affects no other bill, or measure It is in a
iill by itself. It is a Texas bill, and confined
o Texas. The money it propones cirries no in- [
iuence, good or bad, to any other measure?has
10 effect on the life or death of California, or the
wo Territories. It carries no votes, for or against
hem?excites no stock jobbing interest, for or
igainst them. It is a parliamentary bill, confined
o its own subject, unmixed with any question,
ilaiming decision on its own merits alone, and
eaving all other bills to be decide 1. in like tnanler,
upon their own merits. Thij is a particular
lifFerence between the committee i bill and mine,
n addition to all the other differeucts bet wen them,
ind which, at the proper time, I stall more fully
levelop; and, in the mean time, mist remind the
iennator from Pennsylvania not to iverlook these
lifferencee when he comes again U fortify his inended
vote for sacrificing New Mfxico, by a refirence
to my bill for siviug her.
The committee, as a justification for cedinc the
>ne half of New Mexico to Texadand then purihaaing
the other half from her, ar#e that it is the *
>nly way to prevent Texas from shallowing her
ill up This was a great mistake in law, nnd a p
'urther mistake in fact, in supposing that the i
President?the then President, General Taylor?
would not do his duty. There weje three ways f
o save New Mexico without givinj up any part
>f her to Texas. First, for the United States to
iccupy her as she was on the day of her cession r
>y the Republic of Mexico , secondly, by a suit
n the Supreme Court; thirdly, by offering a fair
ompact, based upon the true boundary. By
uther of these three ways New Mlxico could be
laved ; and the late President, in a&essage before
lis death, let us know that he would do his duty,
ind maintain the possession until t^ie question of
itle should be decided by the competent author- f
ty. This is his message
" I have alrosdy. in a former message. reirred to the fact '
hat the Iwundary between Tana and Net Mexico is die '
nited. I have now to etate that informs'?n has been re- f
ently ret-eivid that oer tin Hubert S Ntghb re, styling
ilnieelf coiumh eioner of the State of Texi. ban proceeded
n Santa Fe with the view of organizing Jnuntiss in that
lietrict, nnder the authority of Texas. While I have no
>ower to decide the qnestiou of boundary, ind no desire to '
uterfere with it as a question of title, I haw to observe that a
he pus esslon of the territory into which it appears that
Ur Neighbors has thus gone, wae actually acquired by the c
'uited States from Mexico, and has aifce ieen held liy the (
Jul ted States and. in my opinion, ought so to remain until r
he question ot boundary shall hare dieen determined by
ome competent authority. Meanwhile, I think there is no
ear .11 for s-rlonsly appiehendlng thr ' Teaas will practi
ally interfere with the poseeesion of ilie United States "
This is the message of the Ute President, and 1
t is the law and the praphetd, brief and simple,
>ut true and wise, and putting to flight the main
irgument for the dismemberment of New Mexico,
le tells yon that hs will maintain the possession, ,

or us. We are la possession, and have only to
etain it These were the resolves of the late
resident, and tiers ie no dispute about thetn
ie spoke for himielf, and his words will stand, 1
i monument to his memory?a monument to his ,
udgment to see the right, and to his firmness in I
naintaining it. It was his last message, and the '
lymbol of his character?brief, plain, honest. 1
wise, firm, and to ths point. It was worthy to he
;he last message of Qeneral Taylor! and will go
nto the heads and hearts of the people, and will
-emain on ths meinary of his country longer than
[raven words oan rnnain upon stone or brass i
make no allusion t> the present President It
would be unparliamentary and indecorous to
lo so. He has se|t us no message Hut we
ire hound to believe that he will do his duty, as
>e understands it, slid at all eventa we hue no I
ight to act upon a Contrary supposition?to sup- '
lose that the Preaidlnt will not maintain the at- '
itude of his predebesaor, and thereby make it i
leceasary for Congress to do something in his I
ilaee.
Mr. Preeident, we are a government of divides! <

and interferences are the bane of all >

Hiso that he would not do his duty in maintainng
the possession of New Mexico?and make '
hat supposition our excuse for giving her sway,
t may be equnity mistaken to make the same supination
of his successor, but 1 will not suppose

The late President, in that same message in
formed Congress that he saw no reason to apprc
hend that Texas would practically interfere wltl
the possession of the United States. The ex
pression was honorable to him. It was as nmch a
to say that he did not believe that Texan wouli
commit a breach of law and order, and sft
ample of violence and bloodshed in ths nnssrtioi
of a contested claim. I do not know whether cir
oumstanees had occurred toinduoe him to qualify
that opinion, but I join him in it; and if. unfortu
nately, it should turn out to be a mistake >nd Texai
troops should be marched upon Nee Mexico,
have my future course to find in my conduct
and to do by the Texas authorities what I did bj
the Missouri authorities, in a similar case, a res
years ago. And here I touch a point which ]
hare never made public in relation to my owr
conduct, and that of my then colleagues. in th<
boundary dispute between the State of Missour
; and the Territory of Iowa. Everybody knows o
: the dispute, and how the two Governors levied
troops, marched battalions, and prepared to fighl
battles; but no one knows how these warliki
[ preparations were stopped. I ?ill tell you how ii
was done When the Miosouri delegation hert
heard that their Governor was marching troop*
I upon Iowa, they got together, consulted on the
I case, and addressed a private letter to the Governor
to let him know that ihey could not support
him in such a movement, and recommending
the cessation of military, snJ the commencement
of judicial proceedings. The advice, or somei
.?f . miliary operations stopped

and, satisfied with its effect, never told what we
had done; nor should I now tell it, except to give
the example of Missouri in a case similar to that
of Tuns, and to sLow in my past conduct what
may be my future conduct if troops are marched
upon New Mexico. The Senator front Iowa,
nephew of Dr. Linn, [Mr. Augustus Dodge.)
was then a Delegate from Iowa, and knew all
about our conduct, except the letter. I am for

THE RECORDS OF MEDICAL SCIENCE,
abounding as they do with ample testimonials to the va'ue
and efficacy of different medicinal agents scarcely furnish a
parallel with the results recorded from a multitude of living
witnesses to the great worth of BANDS' SARSAPARJLLA.
The remarkable cures of a groat variety of diseases,
effected by its timely administration, furnish conclusive evidence
of this fact, and the experience of fourteen years has
won for it a deserved popularity that no other preparation
ever attained. Its extensive use throughout the world,and
the numerous unsolicited testimonials received by the proprietors,
stand as beacons and landmarks to the suffering
and disease!, holding forth the inviting language of encour
ageinent?do not despair. Thousands and teus of thousands
who suffered without hope, groaning day aud night
under pain and anguish, beyond the power of language to
convey, have not only been relieved, but permanently cured
It has been approved by the medical fkculty, Introduced and
extensively used in hospitals, under the watchful eye of
physicians, with the happiest results. The preparation being
entirely vegetable,renders its administration safe to the
most enfeebled frame.
The following testimonials ars selected from among the
multitude of those we are daily receiving; and for further

GxttTtxwKW: Worth can bu? heWy eapreee w?y feetta*
In conveying the pleasing intelllgsnce that my wife is re
etored to perfect health by the use of your Invaluable Sar
saparllla She was afflicted with a severs cutaneous disease,
that covered the whole surface of the body, so that It would
have beeu impossible to touch any part mat was rree rrmu
the humor: the head, face, and hand*,werecovered with
scales like those of a fish; the hair fill oot in large quantities;
and wwikiu* caused the most excruciating agonies as
it affected the Joints mow than any other part. She suffered
also a long time flrum an affection of the llrer, connected
with general debility, and a prostration of the nervous system
f hysicians, both in Europe and America, had exhaust
ed the usual remedies, without effecting a cure, or scarcely
affording relief, and the best melical skill was unavailing,
until she happily used your Sarsaparilla. The disease was
pronounced salt rhtuui, but her whole system, internally
and extern illy, was altogether deranged; but so oomplete
has been the cure, after using the Sarsaparilla tor six
weeks, and taking iu all less than one doxen bottles, that she
now e?joys better health than for years previous to taking
the Sarsaparilla.
My object in making this communication is, that all who
have suffered as she has may know where and to whom to
apply for relief, (and that not in vain,) is a complete cure
will be the result.
My IHfe unites with me in heartfelt thanks; and believe

(rKNTi.KMKN : My wife suffered with a distress ind burning
iu her chest fur many years, and my daughter was afflicted
from her birth with a humor in her blood. We con
euuvii Tttiiuup puysicianc ami ineu numerous remedies
without much benefit, until we heard, through Rev. 1 b'mu
Darin, < f the great medicinal value of Sands' Sarsaparilla.
On hie recommendation, my wife and daughter decided on
trying it, and toon experienced permanent benefit. My
daughter'* akin assumed a new appearance entirely ; from
being rough, hard, and soaly, it became smooth and soft.
My wife'n suffering* are almost gone, and it* um a short

Obntlbmbn : It Is my duty to c jnjisunloate facte in relation
to the beneficial effects of your Sarsaparilla My wife
was afflicted with Inflammation and aoreness of the stomach
of the wo ret character; her limbs ant rhsst were much
swollen; the bad constant headache, and leet spring wss attacked
severely with inflammatory rheumatism. The belt
medical aid we could obtain afforded only momentary relief;
and while In this situation, sbe heard of the many remarkable
cures effected by the us-i of Sands' Sarsaparilla, and
commenced its use. whicb produced instant relief, ai d less
than six bo'tles entirely removed all the dropsical swelling
and other Inflammatory symptoms, restoring her to perfect
health.
I send this statement a' an act of justice, believing it to
be my dnty to encourage the suffering portion of the human
family to use Santa' Sarsaparilla, which I believe has no
parallel in the natalogna of medicine.
With feelings of lasting gratitude. I remain yoor friend,

in the lower part of my h.idy, extending down to my

or move myself I tried all the different medicines adver
ttsed fir this disease, among which wars several kinds ot
Sarsaparilla. but waste of them did me any good, and 1 save
up all hope of being cured, wl en a friend advised me to try
Sands' Sarsaparilla. i consented, not expecting It would
curs me; but a'ter using twelve hott'es I have the happiness
of stating to yon that the pain has left me. I ran waik
without any assistance, and I am gaining in strength every
day. which I bsvs no doubt Is owing sntirely to the use of
your sarvaparills- I scud you this voluntary certificate,

OLD DOCTOR JACOB TOWNS END,
THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF
TUH OKNTTitfB TOWNBDhlD SARBAPAHILLK
OLD Pr.Townsendls now about seventy years of agv.aiA
bu long b??n known as tbe Author and l)lseove*er of
the genuine original " Tomttend Suriapurilia " Being
poor, he *ai compelled to limit lta manufacture, by which
mean* It haa been kept out of market, and tbe sal i circumscribed
to tboee only who tad proved ite worth and lOTwu
ite value. It bad reached theeari of many, uevertbeleM,ae
tboee persons who had been healed of sore disea en, and
eared from death, proclaimed ite excellence and wonderful
healing power. Thie
Grand and Unequalled Preparation
is manufactured on the largeet ecale, and ia called for
throughout the length and bread h of the laad.
Unlike young S. P. Towneend'e, it improve! with a* e, and
never changes, but for tbe better; because it is prepared on
scientific principles, by a scientific man. Tbe highest knowledge
of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the Art,
have all been brought Into requisition In the manufacture or
the Old Doctor's 8arsuparilta. The Sarsapari'la ryot, it is
well known to medical uien, contains many medicinal properties,
and some properties wnieh are inert or useless; tnd
others, which, if retained in preparing it for use, product fermentation
and acid, which is injurious to the system. Some
of the properties of Ssrsaparilla ?re so volatile, that thty entirely
evaporate and are lost in the preparation, if they are
not preserved by a scientific process, known only to th?e
expe ieneed in its manufacture. Moreover, three volatile
principles, which fly off in vapor, or aa an exhalation unStr
heat, ar\ the very essential medtoal properties of the root,
which give to It all its value. Tbe
Genuine Old Dr. Jacob Townaend'a Ksraapartlla
is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the Sarsapa
rilla root are first removed, everything impable of beeoadng
acid or of fermentation Is extracted and rejected; then every
partlc'e of medical virtue is secured in a pure and concentrated
form, and thus it is rendered incspable of losing tny
of Its valnable and healing properties. Prepared In this
way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of Innumerable Diaraaes.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on sverjr
side, in its favor, by men, women, and children We find it
doing wonders in tbe eure of Consumpturi, Jh/tprptui and
Liter fompluint, and In Rheumatism, Sno/ola, mid I'Uri,
