tie without making any distinctiov between them.
The time had arrived In my oy,inion. when this
Government was bouhd 70 exert its power to
avenge and redress the wr nos of our citizens and
to afford them protectiea in Mexico. The inter
posing obstacle was that the country under the
sway Of Miramon, could not be reached without
passing over territory under the Jurisdiction OF
the Constitutional Government Under these cir
cumstances, deemed it my duty to recommend
to Congress In my last annual message, the en-
ployment Of Il sufficient military force 10 pens-
trate into the interior where the Government Of
Mlramon waste be found, with, or if need be,
without the consent Of the Juarez government,
though it was not doubted his consent could be
obtained. Never have had clearer conviction
on any subject than have OF the justice as well
sa wisdom, in such policy. No other alterna-
tive was left, except the entire abandonment Of
our citizens who had gone to Mexico under the
faith of treaties, TO the Systematic injustice cru
city and oppression Of Mramon's Government.
Besides, it certain thata simple authority to
mploy this force would OfitselfhaYe accomplish
all our objects without striking a single blow.
Tho Constitutional Government would then
9 been established at the city Of Mexico, and
lhave been ready and willing, 10 the extent
ability, TO do us justice. In addition, and
athis amost important consideration, other
,vernments would thus have been deprived OF
all pretext to interfere in the territorial and dom
este concerns Of Mexico. We should thus have
been relieved from the obligation Of resisting CIV.
on by force, SHOULD this become necessary, any
attempt by these Governments to deprive our
neighbOrlng Republic OF portions OF her ter ltOry
u dutv from which we should not shrink withou,
abandoning the traditional and established pol
icy OF the American people.
/ am happy to observe that firmly, relying up.
on the Justice and good faith Of these governments
there is no present danger that such contingency
viii happen. Having discovered that my recon-
nendatiOns would not be sustained by Congress,
the next alternative was to accomplish in some
degree, if possible, the san objects, by treaty
stipUlatiuns with the constitutional government.
SucH treaties were accordingly concluded by our
late able and excellent Minister 10 Mexico, ana
on the fourth Of January last were submitted 10
