III is Il remarkable circumstance that the notifications
OF tins renewal OF treaty of mtsthis solemn plelre

statement put forth might some degree produce il.
intended effect of misleading the suspicious or the gno
rant, II should receive its mered notice and conrdic.
ton So far from being tru' that officers of the Govern
ment are armng encouraging march into the
Mexican territory, they have been directed to employ
measures warranted and enioned by law such
schemes However individuals may compa those
they may deem oppressed in foreign countries what
ever indignation may be excited by the wreaking of
sangunary revenge at variance with the ackno wledget
laws o war, the plain duty Of this Government is moi
TO deviae from the settled policy of the nation by med
ding either coverly or openly with the domestic
rels OF our neighbors. That duty has been and will
continue to be, scrupulously performed and the result
will again prove that the President as slow in pyinn
last cause OF offence TO foreign power he has beef
hrn, Jealous and successful in maintaining the honor
OF the country and in asserting the rights Of injured
