ed TO Santa Fe, with view of organizing coun-
lies in that district under the authority OF Texas.
While have no power 10 eclde the question of
boundary. and no desire to interfere with it as
question OF title. have to observe. that the p0s1
sessiun of the territory into which Y appears that
Mr. NeighbOrs has thus gone was actually acquirs
ed by the United States from Mexico, and has
since been held by the United States. aud in my.
lOpniOn ought SO remain until the question OF
boundary shall have been determined by some
competent authority. Me nwhile think there
e, e.. hand Tint
as will practically interfere with the possession OF
the United States"
There is no ambiguity there. His
views are clearly expressed, and his opih-
ion of the pretensions of Texas to terri
tory over which she can have no rightful
claim cannot now be doubted. We hope
our heighbor Of the True Democrat up
III Cleveland will now be satisfied. If
he had delayed his column and half ar

saved the Necessity OF writing it. He

The President is clearly Of the opin!
I ion "lhat certain Robert s. Neighbors:

: had gone into and attempted to organ

: The last sentence is significant. Down

, well known and Presideht Taylor is most
s likely appreciated. The Texans will

This certain Robert S. Neighbors has
is come back to Texas and reports that he
70 was unable to organize the counties in

,, it is likely that New Mexico will follow
