MEXICAN CLAIMS FOR INDEMNITY 1t is cred
IDLY stated that the Mexican government will
shortly prefer demand upon the United States
for over SslG,00O.000, for the non. fufment of
the treaty Of San Luis Potosi, which has result
ed in extensive Indian depredations on the from.
tiers.
We did not specially promise TO compensate
Mexico or her citizens for damages done by ma
rauding Indians; but we did promise 10 restrain
and punish the incursons OF the savages. As we
have done. neither the one thing nor the other, we
are probably honorably bound 10 pay such an
amount as may cover the actual damages DONE
Says the article in the treaty Of Guadalupe Hdal-
CO. under which these claims are to be brought
forward
at is soemny agreed that all such ncursions shall
be foTcby restrained by the Government of the United
Staes whenever this may be necessary and that when
ever that cannot be prevented they shall be punished by
the said Government and satisfaction for the same shall
be exaced; all in the way and with equal diligence
or committed within its own territory, against its own
citizens"
The Mexican minister has already notified our
Government it is said, that under this article
| claims will be preferred.
So much for the factious refusal of Locoloco
Congress to give the Administration the means to
comply with our treaty obligations Sixteen nil
lion dollars is a nice little sum to pay for dis.
credtable manifestation of partisan feeling, and a
desire to hambug the people with all idea of re.
