the country, is this that the Del Norte is net The
boundary Of the Stale of Texas and thai the

has time and again a6rnicd and she sill ailirms,
The cIuet contrau She maintains that the land
on the East bank of The Del Norle is Texas, and
that il is aot Mexico any more than all Texas is
Mexico. This we will now prove, documents in
hand. II we prove il, there is an end 10 The
whole charge against the President Of violating
the Constitution, by sending General Taylor TO
the Del Nore, under orders 10 prevent and repe
invasion on this side Of that river.
On The 10Th June, 1914, General VOL, then
