BALTIMORE, Tuesday, Aug. 6.-rhe
President, to-day, sent in a message to Con-
gress urging the settlement of the Texan
boundary question. He says that the por-
ton of the disputed territory lying east of
the Rio Granle, has always been considered
as belonging to New Mexico. He thinks
the exigency may require an extra session
of Congress; alludes to the duties imposed
on him by the laws; says he will perform
those duties and sustain the laws.
He thinks this a case in which he is au.
thorized to call out volunteers, and that it
would be his duty to call for them, and also
to employ the army and navy. Texas may
have the power to suppress any insurrection
arising within her own, borders, but that
does not give.her the right to set at naught
the laws of the United States
In such a case, Texas wonld be an
intruder, and wonld be treated AS such.
He believes the treaty with Mexico
extends The laws of the United States
over the territory. lying east of the Rio
Grande.
He does not assume TO decid ewhat
is the boundary of Texas, but wishes
to stand by the treaty.
He will continue to regard the ter
ritory as New Mexico until Congress
settles the question.

the evening of the 5th, and as usual,
