faith both by Texas and New Mexico, or rather
by the United States. Whatever might be his
Judgment IN regard - their respective rights, he
has no power to decide upon them, or even to ne
gotats in regard TO them and therefore II would
be improper for him to express any opinion. The
subject matter Of dispute Is between the United
States and Texas, and not between the inhabit-
ants of New Mexico and Texas. II those
people should Voluntarily consent to come I'M
der the Jurisdiction of Texas, such consent
would not bind the United States TO take away
their title to the territory. So, on the other hand
if they should Voluntarily claim the title for the
United States II would not deprive Texas Of her
rights. Whatever those rights may be, they can
only be affected by her own acts or a judicial de-
cision The State Constitution formed by New
Mexico can have no legal validity until 1t is rec
ognised and adopted by the law-making power of
the United States Until that is done, 1t has no
sanction, and can have no effect upon the rights
of Texas or Of the United States to the territory
in disputc. And II 10 not to be presumed that
Congress will ever give its sanction TO that Con-
stitution without first providing for the settle
ment Of this boundary Indeed, no Government,
either Territorial or State can be formed for New
Mexico without providing for settling this bound
AIRY. Hence he regards the formation Of this State
Constitution as mare nullity. II may be regard
ed, indeed as a petition to Congress TO be admit
ted as State, bat until Congress shall grant the
prayer Of such petition, by legal enaotments, 1t
affects the rights Of neither party. But as it is
the right of all TO petition Congress for any law
which 1t may oonstitutionally pass, this people
were in the exercise Of . common right, when
they formed their Constitution with view Of APP
plying to Congress for admission as State, and
as he thinks the act can prejudice no one, he feels
bound to approve Of the conduct Of Col. Munroe,
in issuing bis proclamation. ~
