bile the news from New Mexico
of a proclamation by Col. Munroc

CO, to The inhabitants of that terfho'

it adds:
These orders to Col. Munroe musr
have been sent soon after Mr. Clays
resolutions were offered. and when
therefore Congress was IN session aud
in actual delIberation on the subject.
IL is one of the most fragrant cases of
Executive interposition to control or
thwart the will of Congress that has
ever occurred, because it changes the
aspect of the whole question before
that body, aud that too according to
the new theory Of territorial rights, in
the most material and vital manner.
According to this theory, the people Of
territory are under some control of
Congress before they form "A constitu.

to do that they are sovereign.
