MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.

The following Message, yesterday communi-
Gated to the House of Representatives, was
with the accompanying papers, referred to the
Committee of Ways and Mean:
WASHINGTON, JV&E 90, 1854.
To the House Of Representatives
have received information Chat the Gov.
eminent of Mexico has agreed to the several
amendments proposed by the Senate to TIE
treaty between the United STATES and the Re.
public of Mexico, signed on The 30th Of De-
cember last, and has authorized its Envoy
Extraordinary to this Government to exchange
the ratifcations thereof. The time within
which the ratifcations can be exchanged will
expire on the 3Oth instant.
There is a provision in the treaty for the pay
ment by the United States to Mexico of the
sum of seven millions of dollars on the exchange
of notifications and the further sum Of three
million dollars when the boundaries Of the
ceded territory shall be settled.
To be enabled to comply With the stipulation
according to the terms Of the treaty, relative
to the payment therein mentioned it will be
necessary that Congress should make an APP
preparation of seven millions Of dollars for that
purpose before the 30th instant, and also the
further sum of three million dollars, to be paid
when the boundaries shall be established.
| therefore respectfully request that these
sums may be placed at the Disposal Of the Ex-
ecutive.
herewith transmit to the House of Repre-
sentatives copy Of the said tfsaty.

He alluded to the fact that the Boundary
Commission of Mr. Bartlett had suffered de-
lay Of eight months, 10 order that o route
through this region might be established, and
the lots along It's course sold advsntageously in
New York and London
10 relation to the | tn article of the Treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo Mr.. Benton said we
were under no obligation to compensate for
any depredations. We were only required to
protect the Mexican territory as we have pro-
tected our own; and that at least, we have
done. A
At the expiration of Mr.. Benton's hour, MIR.
Bayly obtained the floor.
Mr.. Benton made motion to increase the
appropriation, that he might continue his re-
marks.
MIR. Jones said his motion to strike out the
enacting clause pvecluded such motion.
The Chair had not understood MIR. Jones'e
motion but now learned from the Clerk that
it had been entered.
Mr.. Campbell arose to a question Of order
He regarded the motion out of order as it con-
fiicted with Rule 127, which declares that every
bill considered in Committee shall be considered
by clauses.
He asked if permission to strike out the en-
acting clause was not in conflict with this?
Mr.. Millson thought there should be a rule
to prevent striking out the enacting clause
He thought, however, with Mr.. Campbell, that
the rule objected to- was designed for the
House, and not for the Committee of the
Whole
Mr.. Washburnc, Of Maine, Mr. Stephens
OF Georgia, Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, and other
gentlemen, continued the debate.

We should like to know how, under such

scarcely any emigration from France, in which

is now removed from the halls Of Congress to
the Territories; and already has the struggle
commenced. The enemies of human freedom
are making threats of what they will do in the
contest and this contest cannot be regarded
with indifference by any true friend OF human

tried friends of freedom here, who will stand
up to the contest to the last.

greatly do we desire to repose under the shad-
ow of the tree of liberty, rather than the
bIghting curse of Slavery. We desire to main

duty of every man to earn his living by the
labor of his own hands, and by the sweat oil
