IL. Then wAy not SAT- so, and spare '.'
probable eifusion Of human blood ~ !"
now time to make good the averment' OF 90
mapy eulogists of the President tha' the
United States is in fact, as unquestionaoly
of right, the antagonist of Texas in her
claim to absorb New-Mexico. Especially il
las one Of our correspondents telegraphs) a
reinforcement of six hundred regulars has
lust been ordered to New-Mexico, there can
be no reasonable doubt that they are sent
there to protect the People Of that young
State against her aggressive neighbor. Now
is the time to paralyze the arm Of Rapacity
by declaration that the Federal Govern
ment will preserve internal peace throughout
the country at all hazards. We do trust
that the Presidents next message on this
subject will be of different tenor from The
EXPRESSES foreshadowings.
BY the way: it may be as well to put
the following on record, as a part OF the
history Of the times, and to show that the
call of State Convention by Col. MunrOe
was actually and urgently demanded BY
the New.Mexicans
On the Goth Of April, at public meeting OF the
people Of New-Mexico, held at Santa Fe, the to!-
lowing Preamble and Resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
