BiRD.ACCES.

A public dinner was given on Thursday last, a:
OuTzs spring, a! the foot Of the Mountain III this
District 1t was attended by eight hundred or
thousand pcr:ons Of boil sexes. The Dinner
was most abundant and served ZIP in the best
STYLE. A most maga11licicn: SrRlSG OF excellent
water runs out from tln Mountain, clear, pure,
and plentiful, and furnished tie a:sC;!blaSe with
the best Summer beverage
At the request OF the President oi the day,
the candidates for the Legislature gave their
views on the BANK OF TIE Gr.Ts OF Sorrr
CAROLINA.
On Friday, a handsome BAErAcrE WIS given
in the ''Old Fort" at Cambridge by citizens of
Edgcfeld and Abbcvlc, 10 which the candidates
from botn Districts were invited. Several polIti-
cal speeches were dsliccrcd showing the critical
state of our Federal S.ia.i;as 10 the inpor-
tancc of the great questions before the country.
the assembled Audience seemed fully awake, and
will be fully united whenever the time for action
comes.
A large E!.nsAcrE was, also. given on SaIur-
day at CNATrERFlELD in the upper part OF this
District, at which the candidates for tho Lr@isA-
turc gave their views on the political topics Of

crty and property according to the provisions
of the 9th article ofthe treaty. in other words,
all must be now regarded as New Mexico
which was possessed and occupied as New
Mexico by citizens of Mexico at the date OF
the treaty, until definite line of boundary
shall be established by competent authority.
This assertion of duty TO protect the people
of New Mexico from threatened violence or
from seizure, to be carried into Texas for
trial for alleged offences against Texan laws,
does not at all include any claim of power on
the part of the Executive to establish any
civil or military government wi;lin that ter
r.ory That rowcr belongs exclusively to
the legislative department, and Congress is.
the sole Judge of the time and manner Of
creating or authorizing any such governments.
The duty of the Executive extends only
TO the execution of laws and the maintenance
of treaties actually in force, and protection
of al the people Of the United States in the
enjoyment of the rights which those treaties
and laws guarantee.
1t is exceedingly desirable that no occasion
should arise for the exercise of the powers
thus vested in the President by the Consttu-
ton and the Jaws With whatever mildne5s
those powers might be executed, or however
clear the case ofinecessity, yet consequences
might nevertheless follow, Of which 10 hui
man sagacity can fo:esee either the evils or
the end.
Having thus laid before Congress the COM
munication of His Excellency the Governor
of Texas, and the answer thereto, and hav-
inc made such observations as ave thought
tic occasion called for respecting consttu-
lional obligations which may arise in tie
farther progress of things, and may deyolvc
on me to be performed, hope | shall not be
regarded as stepping aside from the iinc of
my duty, Notwithstanding that am aware
that the subject is now before both Houses,
if express my deep and earnest conviction
! of the importance of an immediate decision
or arrangement, or settlement of the ques-
ticn of boundary between Texas and the ter
ritory Of New Mexico All considerations
of justice, general eSpediency, and domestic
tranquility call for this. 1t seems TO be, in
lis character and by position, the first or one
OF tie first, of the questions growing out OF
the acquisition of California and New Mexico,
and now requiring decision.
No government can be established for New
Mexico, either State or Territory, unil it
shall be first ascertained what New Mexico
is, and what are her limits and boundaries.
These cannot be fixed or known, till the line
of division between her and Texas shall be
ascertaincd and establislcd-and numerous
and wcighty reasons conspire. III my judge
ment, 10 show that this divisional line should
be established by Congress, with the assent
of the government Of Texas. In the first
place. this seems by far the most prompt node
of proceeding, by which the cud can he &C.
complished. If judicial proceedings were
rcsorted to- such proceedings would neccs-
sarily be slow, and years would pass by, il
Ill probability, before the controversy could
