he will enforce these laws and thinks this IN

Texas a State, can employ military force 70 sup

with the desire of New Mexico.
Col. Monroe acted in his civil capacity, ordered
above, md issued proclamation. The Executive ap
proved it. Ii provides nothing hut what the Coustitu
ton and laws OF the United States authorize.
The President approves the OF President Poll
and Gen. Kearney. He thinks the treaty bore them
