WI. ,n initial point on the Rio Grande has been

Nations acting under the Treaty OF Peace anu Ce'oh
and lin. rim thence due West as the treaty requires
We believe this point to be the tree ohe and certainly
there can be 10 doubt that, Prna aes, the prooaoy
on that noint is immensely strong. We believe too,
,h,h;s nont has been defntyey established and rati-
fed nv the signature of the u Surveyor attached to
The Bouudary Commission, acting under the express
directions of TIE Cabinet at Washington though The
U,,on undertakes deny it in the following gingcrly
manner:
"The official report of Major Emory on this very point

.s,f,irg Mr. Baritts line IN the manner required by
the tresiy in order to give that line validity MAJOR EN-

a. orrion in case of any difference between them, and
,brob he as officer, regarded that instruction as
final and intended to deprive hun OF any RESPONSE
, or secretion ID the matter-did yet wholly refuse to
cer-fy The accuracy Of Mr. Bartts line or to sign any
standardization the line described by the treaty.

On his own judgment bUt on the orders Of his superors
at Washington-how would that affect the question
6ettreen our Government and that of Herieol What
proper force have these cayls Of The Unios implying
not that ,he Boundary settlement has not been signed
by our Surveyor but that it has not been signed is
"he manner required by shat Treaty, which requires

Validity
But concede away seven eighths Of our ground-ad-
NIT that the initial point agreed upon by the two Com
mssiOners is wrong--that the signature of Maj Emory
ia DO sQnaure-that No line has been run, no bonn
dairy established in accordance with she requirements
of the Treaty-and still il is undeniable thar some sort

the true line can be established If each Nation is 70

there is DO escape from War. Obviously there must
be forbeArance or we are precpitated into hOsttes
Some line must be respected until the line shall have
been traced Now there exists but line that has
ever been run by accredited agents OF the two Coun

Now be IL understood that the difficulty which has
recently sprung up lie entirely ct our own creation.
There was no trouble the Meslla Valley. troops
there until our Governor Lane of New Mexico issued
Proclamation lay ing claim to that Valley overrung
tbe action of the Commissioners, aud falsely assuming
that had been repudiaed by Cabinet which GER
tsiny was not then true, whatever may have trans
pred since III ordering Col Sumner to advance with
bis troops and take possession Of this Valley, Gov
Lane clearly admitted that it not then in our pos
session rad been abandoned by troops after the
Peace Nth Mexico not belonging tous Commissioner
Bartlett says has recently been settled by emigranss
from New-MexcO dissatisfied with rule there aud
seeking refuge thererom in what they supposed TO be
Mexican territory. Do We really wish TO subjugate
these people again 10 our sway
The Union has never yet disayowed ts recent Ed
oral euloeium Russia and abored attempt to show
that the policy of the Autocra is accOrdans with our
own though scapegOa for that Oifense against every
American instinct has been driven into the wilderness
We have trusted however, that nothing more Of the
sort would be found in the columns of the Court organ
But if The Onion were directly subsidized by the Auto
cra il could not directly subserye his ends than IL
is now doing by It's on this miserable Meslla
question To the fortunate issue of the great drama
now commencing in Europe, tearfuly momentOus ia
its character il is essential that this Republic should
keep herself uniettered by petty ENVIRONMENTS with
her neiglbors and ready throw her whole moral
and if need be- her ply weight into the scale of Re-
1ubcan Progress against that of universal AutOcracy
and Cossack barbarism. The fame kindling the
Danube and the Bosphorus is morally certain 70 over
spread the world The magnitude OF the interests im
ediney involved shrnks to ins gnifcance in view OF
the great principles which il destined to des
perate AID bloody collision. Whether own country
SIAN be- actually involved in this struggle not it is es
setia that she maintain position of ability engage in
il az a moments warning should its progress threaten
her vital inteTests-o engage in 1t not merely with

We protest sgainst any demonstration from Capital
melting OF rendering possible war on Mexico at this
crisis as a suicidal treason to Liberty and Sirocco to
