States of the Union, and which, for the same
reason, cannot he restored? In our case il
merely establishes boundary which before
was indefinite. This could only be done by
treaty,and no State Government could make
such treaty; and therefore, it follows, too
clearly to be argued, that it was one of those
international affairs which devolved eXclu-

case of Mexico the line of boundary MS TO

Government to violate this guaranty, and sell
