the fact that he had the most votes, and that
those who stole the Mormon poll-boOk to de-
feat him had themselves committed the ire
gularities by which they now seek to inval-

Ney-uexico-Her Danger and Her ReIi-
aBce.
The present attitude of New-Mexico and
the peril that threatens her very existence,
in view of the necessary relations OF this
question to that of the Extension Of Slavery,
seem to us to furnish by far the most excl
ting and momentous topic of the day, and
we therefore gladly avail ourselves ofall the
light which may be shed upon it by others.
Of course we incur the hazard Of publishing
much that is of doubtful or partial anthem

own judgment in giving credence to the
following reports. The Commercials cor

he should disappoint and displease many whom he

In no longer doubtful that the President is deter

necessary, resist by force any armed attempt OF
the State Of Texas to seize upon that Province

The Ew. Posts correspondent Of the
same date, writes;
This il a period Of plots and alarms A few
months ago, Foote got up very promising pro-
grsmme of general massacre ia Congress, which,
unfortunately for his character as vaticinator, did
not take place. To-day ne has given forth another
proclamation Of war and approaching battle In
New-Mexico. The campaign, to be commonwealth
Texas is to open in July. The particular authority
for this important declaration is letter received
in Washington from certain Major Calhoun, an
agent of the Government for the management Of
the Indians.
Hefsays, it appears that unless something be
done promptly by the Government to quiet Texas,
che will proceed to take bodily possession Of the
Territory II that is the case, it is evidently too
late already to do any thing in the premises. The
rangers are even now on their way to Santa Fe.

Mr.. E. Brooks Of The Express, telegraphs
to his paper as follows:
WASHINGTON, June 2s-Noon.
The President will answer Mr.. Foote's Resolu-
ton by declaring that he has given no orders in re-
gard TO Texas and New M sxico than those already
submtted TO the Senate. This Is in conformity
with what wrote you on Wednesday. The mill.
tary order remains t statu quo, and 1t Is stated
that bloodshed is inevitable between the two peo-
GEOGRAPHICALLY if New.Mexico should have de-
fined her boundaries.
liz certain that the President did not give the
specisl order to the Civil and Military Governor Of
New Mexico, now quoted as authority for the new
State Government
Texas will extend her authority over the dis
puted territory, and at If need be, Gen. Hous
ton will leave his place in the Senate, and command
the troops Of bis State In the encounter!
II does seem to us the plainest and most
urgent dictate of official duty and public tran
GUILTY. that the President should send to
Congress quite different Message from this
that he should apprise Congress and the
Country not only of what he has not done,
but of what be HiH do, especially in case OF
