she should have, il belongs 10 this government
IN render, not only by virtue Of our neighboT-
hood 10 Mexico, along whose territory we have
continuous frontier Of nearly a thousand
miles, but by virtue, also, OF oar established
policy. which is inconsistent with the inter
vention ofany European power in the domes-
iir concerns Of that Republic.
The wrongs which we have suffered from
Mexico are before the world, and must deeply
Impress every American citizen. A govsrn.
ment which is either unable or unwilling 10
redress such wrongs is dereIict 10 its highest
duties. The difficulty consists in selecting
& enforcing the remedy. We may in vain apply
'ntle constitutional government at Vera Cruz,
although it is well disposed 10 do us justice,
for adequate redress. Whilst its authority is
acknowledged in all the important ports aud
throughout the sea coasts OF the republic, its
power does not extend 10 the city o. Mexico
and the States in its vicinity, where nearly all
the recent outrSges have been committed on
American citizens. We must penetrate into
The interior before we can reach the offenders,
aud this can only be done by passing through
The territory in the occupation OF the consti-
iutional government. The most acceptable
and least tii%cult mode Of accomplishing
the object viii be to act in concert with
that government. Their consent and their cid
might, ! believe, be obtained; but, il not, our
obligation to protect our own citizens in their
just rights, secured by treaty, woule not be
the less imperative. For these reasons, re-
commend TO Congress 10 pass law authoriZ
ing the President under such conditions MS
they may deem expedlent to employ a sufi.
