mauds against hcr, would have TO remedy either
against Mexico or their own government Our
duly to these ciIizcns must forever prevent such
Il peace, and no treaty which does not provide
ample means OF djschargiug those demands can
receive my sanction.
A treaty Of peace should setllc all existing dif
icrenccs between the two countries. II AN ada-
quale ccssion of territory should be made By such
II treaty, the Uutcd States should release Mexico
from all her liabilities, aud assume their payment
to our own crlzens. If instead Of this the I nj
ted States were to consent to u treaty by which
Mexico should again engage to pay the heavy
amount OF Indebtedness, which a Just indemnify
To our government aud our cluzcUs would I'M
pose on her, is il not notorious thai she does not
possess the means 10 meet such an undertaking!
From such treaty, no result could be anricipa-
ted, but the same irrilaling dsappolutncuts which
have heretofore attended the violations Of simlI-
ar treaty stpulations on the part Of Mexico
Such treaty would be but temporary cessu-
lion of hostitles, without the restoration Of the
friendship aud good understanding which should
characterize the future intercourse between the
Two countries.
That Congress contemplated the acquisition OF
Ur1Iorlal indemnity when that body nude pro.
vision for the prosecution Of the war, is obvious.
Congress could not have meant. whcn in Nav
1876, they appropriated $IO.U0O.0O0, and au.
thorzed the President 10 employ the militia and
naval and military forces OF the United States.
and 10 accept the services of $4,000 volunteers
to enable hm to prosecute The war, aud when at
their last session, and after our army had iuya.
dcd Mexico, they made additional appropriations
and authorized the raising of additional troops
Tor the same purpose, that no indemnify was to
be obtained from Mexico, al the conclusion Of
The war; and YET il was certain that if no MeXi-
can territory was acquired no indemnity would
be Obtained.
Its further manifest that Congress contcmpla.
ted territorial indemnify, from the fact that at
their last session au act was passed, upon the
Executive recommendation, appropratng S3,-
100000 with that express object. This apprO-
ptlaIlon was made 10 enable the President to
conclude treaty Of peace. mils aud boundaries,
with the Republic of Mexico, to be used by HIM
IN the event that said treaty when signed by the
authorized agents Of the Two governments and
duty ratified by Mexico. shall call for the cXpen-
dlIure OF the same, or amy part thereof. The
object OF asking this appropriation was distinctly
stated III the general messages on the subject
which communicated to Congress. Similar ap-
preparations, made in 1903 and 1906, which We're
referred TO, were intended To be applied in part
