FROM THE CLEVELAND DEMOCRAT.
Among all the Inconsistencies which have appeared on the
part Of the Administration in regard the boundary Of
Texas and the war; gsng than its course re-
specng Santa Fe II will be remembered by all that the
President claimed the RoGande from mouth to its sourcet
as the western boundary Of Teras He never claimed that
the United States entitled any territory except such
as was embraced in Texas II will be remembered further
that prior TO the of the Texas had form
ed State Constitution, and been admitted State into
the Union.
Bot Notwithstanding all this the President after conquer
ing Santa F has up cpa there 80 that if
be that the Rio Grande the true boundary Of Texas
then Sl.d Fe is ia Tsras and there tU0 civil govern
here-one the government Of the State Of Texas the
other the civil government set up by the President.
Now, if any portion Of the people within State rebel
against the Government is the duty Of the President Of the
United States acting under the Constitution to put down
that rebellion And, in order preserve peace he may if
necessary proclaim martial law bat he has no right to set
up cirl government Whin State Government It would
be pspable usurpation of power No would owe any
obligations to it. And yet this is the very thing the Pres-

Receipt for dressing Salad
Two large potatoes passed through kitchen sieve,
Smoothness and soiness o the salad give
OF mordant mustard add single spoon,
Distrus the condment that bites too soon;
But deem IL not, thou o herbs fault,
To add a double quantity Of salt;
Four times tho spoon with oil of Lucca crown,
And twice with vinegar procured from town;
True flavor needs i, and your poet begs,
The pounded yellow Of two well-boil,d eggs;
Let onions atoms Turk within the bowl,
And scarce suspected animate the whole.
And, lastly, in the favored compound toss
magic spoonful Of Anchoyy sauce.
oh, great and glorious oh, herbaceous treat
'Twould tempt dying anchore TO eat
Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul,
And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl
