TbAs Senate md House IF Representatives.:
herewith transmit 10 The two houses OF
Congress, a letter from his EycellencY the
Governor of Texas, dated on the l4lh OF
June last, addressed 10 the late president
of the United States, which, not having
been answered BY him came into my hands
on bis death and also transmit a copy
Of the answer which have felt il to be my

Congress will perceive that the Govern
or Of Texas officially states, that by autho-
rity Of the legislature Of that State, he de-
spatched a special commissioner, with full
Foww and instructions to extend the civil
jurisdiction Of that State ever the unor-
ganized counties of Ell Paso, Worth, Pre-
sidio and Santa Fe, situated on It's north
western limits,
lie proceeds to say, that the commits
sioner had reported 10 him, in,an official
form, that the military officers employedin
the service Of the United States, stationed
at Santa Re, interposed adversely, with
the inhabitants, 10 the iul6lment Of his OBJ.
ject, in favor Of the establishment Of a
separate State government, east OF The
Rio Grande, and within the rightlul limits
Of the State Of Texas. These four coun-
ties which Texas proposes to establish and
organise, as being within her own juris,
diclion, extend over the whole OF the ter
ritory east Of the Rio Grande, which has,
heretofore, been regarded as an essential
and integral part Of The department Of
New Mexico, and actually governed and
possessed BY her people, until conquered
and severed from the Republic Of Mexico
by American arms, t aF55sf
The Legislature Of Texas has been called
together BY the Governor, for the purpose,
as is understood, Of maintaining her claim
TO the territory eastof the Rio Grande, and
Of establishing over it her own jurisdiction
and her own laws, by force. @
These proceedings Or Texas may well
arrest the attention OF all branches ofstbe
government of the United States, and /
rejoice That they occur while the Congress
is yet in session. Its, ! fear, far from be-
ing improbable that, in consequence Of
these proceedings Of Texas, a crisis may
be brought on which shall summon the two
houses of Congress, and still more en-
phatically the general government--to an
immediate readiness for the performance
of their respective duties.
BY the constitutional the United States,
the president is constituted commandments
chief Of The army and navy and Of the
militia Of the several States, when called
intothe actual service Of the United States.
