New Mexico.

New MexicOs
The New Mexican difficulties have reached
a point at which no congressional contrvance
for delay, or political necessity for non action
can any longer succeed in staving off decis-
ion on the boundary question. The report OF
the Texas commissioner to Gov. Bell, publish
ed on our outside page, detailing the result Of
his recent attempts to organize the State IurisS
diclion in the Santa Fe frontrier, is an inter
esting document. Il exhibits the Texas view
Of their rights in this country; and we have
no doubt that the people Of Texas will sustain
their Executive 10 the attempt to establish the
State jurisdiction by force Of arms, and TO re-
sst the interference even of the United States
with the paramount authority Of Texas. The
return OF Major Neighbors with this account
Of his mission had already created great feel
ing, and the calls upon the Governor TO TAX
instant measures to enforce the State claims are
loud and uIgsnt. No Information has reache
US Of what Gov Boil may have decided to do
on the state Of facts as thus presented TO him,
but we cannot doubt that there will be uni
veTsal excitement, and some very decided
measures taken on the receipt Of this news
which we have 6tG ST. Louis from Santa Fe,
that the inhabitants OF that part of Texas
have held their convention, in association with
the New Mexicans beyond the Rio Grande,
formed State constitution, and forwarded it
tOr the acceptance Of Congress, with the de-
mand for the admission Of New Mexico as a
State into the Union.
This constitution is, by this time, in Wash
ton City, as the bearer passed through ST. Lou
is from Santa Fe week ago. as we find it sta
ted in the papers Of that city. There is not
shadow OF doubt that Texas will resist, to
the last extremity, the dismemberment which
the reorganization Of this new State would ef~
feet. There is scarcely doubt that she will
consider the holding Of the convention, in de-
fiance of her laws and in contempt oi heI
claims, as making an immediate necessity ior
preparing to defend herself against encIoach-
ment, and assert her full title. We expect
to hear Of the Ievylng Of troops in Texas to
march for the scene Of contention, and take
and Keep possession against all comers. This
we feel warranted in saying, is the predOmi
nont feeling Of the people and Government o
: Texas.
The admission of New Mexico, under thos,
: circumstances, as a State, whoud niallibl.
bring on this collision, and the public opinion
Of One.half at leastaOf the States Of Union
: would be that the original right is with Texas
| The attempt to admit her will force upon
, Congress the necessity Of closing up that con
! troversy at once, in some satisfactory manner
i and without delay. Non-acliOn isimpossible
}. and any action whatever, meets, at the fr'
}, step, as an impossible barrier to any progress
forward in the the work Of setting the territori
1 al or the slavery questions, this question 0
i the Texas claim to the Rio Grande.
1t would be waste time to speculate upo
: the result Of using iorce to compel Texas
surrender her claims and yield up this territory
o Such an assumption would make cOmmotiO
g in this country such as has not yet bee
y known, even in the most exciting times Of pal
j. or impending conflicts. No such resort wi
l. be hazzarded by any party. There is no othe
?, possible rode of settlement than by compro
d mise, and none offers any prospect oi succe
c. but that which is before Congress now in tn
81 Senate bills of adjustment. The emergenC
N precipitated by the action of the inhabitan
+ Of New Mexico makes new and still mo
IN irresistible argument for the passage OF the'
10 bills. Without them, we have not only Il
7" slavery questions for the general distract;o
u Of the Country, but probable civil war b
le tween the United States and Texas.
- The facliOnists who are worrying COngre
and tbe people out Of all paIience-tamPerlT
~ with these questions for personal OF party pre-
~ :, twill, we hope, be startled by these inc
- dents into consciousness Of the reality OF
impending danger to which they have CIV
d. little heed, and will address themselves at on
in as statesmen and patriots to the PertOrman
r. Of their duty.
That duty isto put an end to these distra
tions at once, by the adoption OF the measuT
now before them, which have been so hrOug
ly sifted and discussed that nothing Iemai
at to be said which can enlightcn or change opi
h ions, and with which the rational mind OF
patriotic masses all over the country is Fea
O,' 10 be satisfied. The cackling Of geese on
ce saved the Roman CapiIOl-Ours will be in du
he ger till the cackling is over, and the men at
capital address themselves to action.
