Profoundest respect for the laws and constitution, he
proceeds to lay before Congress an account of the
situation of the republic and to state the
which ne intends to pursue.
He confesses that the republic recognized by the
laws of 1886 has met with serious difficulties and as
scrbes the defect in the movements of the govern
ment to causes arising from the uneasy working of
the new machine of State. The councils of the de-
partmeAts only partially filled. Great embarrass
ments were encountered in the administration of JUS
ce in consequence of the defects in the laws regula
ing this branch. Much difficulty has been expert
enced in the want of organization among the fnan-
cial tribunals. The General proses away about the
liberty Of the press and advises that it ought to be
secured by preventing from relapsing into licenti
BUSINESS.
He regrets that the departments of Texas, Calfor-
mia and part of San Louis are not in tranquil cond
ton. The government is increasingly employed to
give success to its arms, and reduce the remotest
part Of Texas He hopes order has been restored in
San Louis. He thinks that California will soon re-
turn to her first love- while the Indians are TO be pro-
vided against. Complaint is made of the neglected
state of the police throughout the republic The at
tention of Congress is called to this subject.
Schools to be established and every care taken
to further public instruction. Congress invited
establish system. He speaks of the establishment
of the maritime and internal custom houses and the
regulation of the finances according to law with some
satisfaction and assumes high degree of credit
to himself for extricatng the republic from its
former depressed condition. The army next passes
under review 1t is hoped that its condition will i'm
prove He recommends thorough reorganization in
the navy.
The foreign relations are spoken of with pleasure
and due praise is given to Spain for her course in ac-
knowlcdging the independence of Mexico. The Pope
has also followed suite in the acknowledgment
Speaking of this country, Busamente says
In the fatterng perspective which have traced
OF foreign relations, have the modification to except
the conduct held by the government of the United
States. Nevertheless the law which authorizes the
Mexican government to act on the claims of that cabi
net and 10 take the proper measures for the safety of
the natlon in case II should not candescend to grant
the satisfaction to which we have right on our own
part induces me TO hope not without good grounds
that relations with the neghbsring republic will
be rctored.
This determination the part of the Mexican
government, shows that it expects some difficulty
with this nation. We have endeavored to show in
another article that Mr. Van Buren, has strsng in
ducements overstep the bounds of justice and pick
a quarrel with Bustamente. That he will do so, and
plunge us into war with him, every appearance in
dcaes. Our only safety is in congress. Justice we
ask from the Mexicans, and justice we aoiU hare
But while we ask reparaton for wrongs dsne, we
should be ready to accede 10 just demands against
ourselves
The president concludes by an appeal to divine
providence for the public safety. Frem the tenor of
his message we hold that he is resolved pursue an
upright course giving justice where il is due and with
intent TO do no wrong nor suffer it to be done TO
him.
