WAsuINGToN, May II, 1916
TO The SeHaic and House Of Representatives,
The existing state OF the relations between
the United States and Mexico renders il pro-
per that should bring the subject 10 the con
sderation oil Congress. In my message OF The
commencement OF your present session the state
Of these relations the causes which led 10 the
suspension Of diplomatic intercourse between
the two countries in March, ls45, and the long
continued and unrcdresscd injuries committed
by the Mexican government on citizens Of the
United States in their persons and property,
were briefly sci forth.
AS the facts and opinions which were then
laid before you, we're carefully considered,
cannot better express my present convictions OF
the condition OF affairs up TO that time, than by
referring you to that communication.
The strong desire TO establish peace with
Mexico on liberal and honorable terms, and the
readiness Of this Government to regulate and
adius, our boundary and other causes Of differ
ence with that Power on such fair and equita.
bic principles as would lead TO permanent rela-
tons Of the most friendly nature, induced me,
in September last, TO seek the re-opening Of d.
pIomatic relations between the two countries
Every measure adopted on our par had Tor its
object the furhepnce Of these desired results
In communicating TO Congress succinci state
mout Of the injuries which we had suffered
from Mexico, and which have been accumulat-
ing during period Of more than twenty years
every expression that could tend to infiame the
people Of Mexico, or defeat or delay pacific
Tesuh, was carefully avoided. An Envoy Of
the United States repaired TO Mexico, with foil
powers 10 adjust every existing difference But
though present. on ibe Mexican soil BY agree
ment between the Governments, invested with
full powers and bearing evidence Of the most
friendly dispositions, his mission has been una
vailing The Mexican government not only
refused 10 receive him or listen 10 his PROPOSE
tons, but, after a long continued series Of men
secs. have at last invaded our territory, and
shed the blood Of our fellow citizens on our
own soil
Il becomes nv duty 10 safe more IN detail

volunteers, not from Texas only, but from
the States of Louisiana. Alabama, Missis-
sippl, Tennessee and Kentucky; and
corresponding letters were addressed to
the respective governments of those States.
Fhese instructions were repeated, and in
January last, soon after the Incorporation
of"TexaS into the Union of States, Gen.
! Taylor was further "authorized by tine
President to make requlsition upon the
Executive of that State for such of its
militia forces as may be needed to repel
invasion or to secure the country against
apprehended INVASION" On the I'd day of
March, he was again reminded, Gin the
event of the approach of any considerable
force, promptly and efficiently to use the
authority with which he was clothed to
call to him such auxiliary forces as he
might need" War actually existing. and
our territory having been Invaded Gen.
Taylor, pursuant to authority vested in
him by my directions, has called oA the
Governor of Texas for four regiments of
State, troops, two to be mounted and two
to serve on foot, and on the Governor of
Louisiana for four regiments of infantry to
be sent to him as soon as practicable.
In further v:ndication ofou rights and
defences of our territory, I invoke the
prompt action ofCongresS to recognize the
existence of war, and to place OF the dispo-
Sition ofthe Executive the means of prose.
cutldg the war with vigor, and thus hasten
ing the restoration of peace. TO this end
l recommend that authority should be
given to call into the public service large
body of volunteers, to serve for not less
than six or twelve months, unless sooner
discharged. A volunteer force is, beyond
question more eminent than any ether
description of citizen soldiers, and it not
to be doubted that number far beyond that
required would readily rush to the field
upon the call of their country. further
recommend that liberal provision be made
for sustaining our military forces, and
furnishing it with supplies and munitions
of war.
The most energetic and prompt mea-
sureS, and the immediate appearance in
arms of a large and overpowerng force, are
recommended TO Congress as the most
certain an efficient means of bringing the
existing collision with Mexico to a speedy
and successful termination.
In making these recommendation, l deem
it proper to declare that it is my anxious
desire not only to terminate hostiliteS
speedily, but to bring all matters in dispute
between this Government and Mexico to
an early and amcabIe adjustment; and in
this view, shall be prepared to renew ne
gotiatons whenever Mexico shall be ready
to receive propositions, or to make PROPOSE
tons of her own.
l transmit herewith a copy ofthe cores
pondence our Envoy to Mexico and the
Mexican Ministers for Foreign Affairs, and
so much of the correspondence between
that Envoy and the Secretary of State, and
between the Secretary of War aud the
General in command on the Del Norte is

subject. JAMES X. POLK.
