solved " and inserting in lieu thereof matter to the
following effect:
s'That the civil and military Governor of the
territory be requested to require the projects OF the

the enforcement Of the above resolutions; and M
Alvarez, M. +, Tuley and W.. Angney were APP
pointed a committee to superintend the publica-

adjourned sine die
We observe, by another official publication in
the Republican, that Lieut.. Col. Beal, who in the
absence of Col. Washington, was then the military
commandment in New Mexico, approved the above
proceedings, and recommended the citizens to
carry into effect the measures therein suggested.
The following is copy of his proclamation or
ufcation to the inhabitants:
"The undersigned, commanding the troops in
Santa Re, the capital of New Mexico having been
requested (by resolution adopted in mass meet
ing OF the American citizens of Santa Fe held for
the purpose of considering the question Of the or
ganization OF proper territorial goyernment) to
employ his authority and influence, in the absence
OF any legal prescribed form, in aid Of the project,
and to hasten the obtention of permanent and
efficient civil organization; and being firmly per
suaded that the half military and halfcivil govern
ment now existing is insufficient to secure The due
and equal administration of justice, and that the
people have Alright to make proper representation
OF their grievances to the only authority able to
correct them, and in way the most effectual; that
they have just claim to the aid of any authority
OF tho United States to this representation
and to better their condition. that the Congress Of
the United States should be put in of the
bestinformaon, and in the most authoritative form
in regard TO this Territory and the request pro-
ceeds from highly respectable and intelligent citi
