II is very that many injurious and unfounded
statements crowded inte small space is
pied by the above parag aphs The writer OF this reply
happens to know something about New Mexico. and for
the very good that he has passed many years of
his life in that Territory.
He undertakes to say that the statements which have
been published Of losses of horses mules, and sheep.
&c., not call FALSE" charged, and that there is
.'deeplad scheme for pundering the treasury" al
legged by this distinguished American"
Such negotiations alluded 10 have not trans
pired in New Mexico.
Ii is not known that there is solitary claim Of New
Mexcans in Washington city certainly there none.
if Major Weighman, who occupies the seat OF "del-
egate of New Mexico" does possess them and is
equally certain that only such claims well estab
shed according law will be recognised by the United
| States
II there should be ga cloud of Claims" let this dis
tnguished American" who has made "tour in the
Great West" be consoled those who have audit them
will probably attend faithfully the interests Of the gov
eminent in this essential particular. But there have been
misrepresentation and frauds practsed" with the view
of securing more troops in New Mexico. By whom
Where Who has made these statements in Washing
ton for this corrupt purpose We that nothing Of
the kind has been done.
There never has been one-ifih of the line of the
army in New Mexico: some 1,700, or more, in that
worthless and useless tract !" This is all false Not
only has there not been 100 troops in New Mexico, but
there nothing like it. There never have been 100
troops that Territory, while the territory OF Texas has
had than double the number. And this, in view of
the fact that New Mexico is surrounded by three times

II is just as important TO protect border the
Other and even more Treaty stpulatons--the ma

Mexico
Let justice be done to all parties II is wrong-t is go
far gratutous-that New Mexico should be calumnated
for wrongs which she has committed If claims
do come from there, If will be time enough to adudge
them when they arrive There are honest, legitimate
claims. which will be brought from that Territory but
not enough TO bankrupt the nation" nor yet enough to
justify the sneers of men who know nothing about that
Territory.
The writer of the above paragraph asks if troops are
wanted in New Mexico, and then answers that he
thinks not. For the information OF the public ON this
subject submit the following extract of letter pub
shed in the Missouri Republican. This letter s written
from Santa Fe, under date Of January 81, by an Amer
can gentleman a resident of New Mexico, and who
is quite as distinguished" the writer of the letter
referred to above, and has the advantage doubtless Of
being man of veracity:
81 should in this connexion give you history OF the
state of things below. addition the list sent by last
half miles OF Fort Conrad about the first OF last month

We think il must be admitted that more troops should
be sent to New Mexico-at least one new regiment of
mounted men, dragons rfemen-not for the corrupt
purpose alluded 10 by this distinguished American but
for the protection OF the lives and property OF ciu
zens II is TO be regretted that much false informs
on with regard to Territory should find its way into
the departments at Washington city through these anony

spent few weeks Santa Fe and then returned again 10
