;. nifty, where nearly all the outrages have
OecA committed on American citizens. We
10 tlSt penetrate into the interior before we
IAN reach the offenders, and this can only he
done by passing through the territory in the
occupation Of the constitutional government.
The most acceptable and least difficult mode
Of accomplishing the object will be to act in
concert with that government Their con-
sent and their aid might T. believe; besob.
tanned !; but If not, our obligations t. protect
our own citizens in their just rights, secured
bv treaty, would not be the less imperative
For these reasons, recommend to Congress
to pass law authorizing the President, un-
der such conditions IS they may deem ex-
pcdient. to employ sufficient military force
to enter Mexico for the purpose Of obtaining
indemnity for the past and security for the
future. -''': 100 - i',''.' .''.:i'5S2 q

to whether this force shall consist Of regular
troops Or volunteers, or both. This. question

that. should volunteers DO selected. such 81
force could easily be raised in this country
among those who symPathize with the suf-
terings Of our unfortunate fellow citizens in
Mexico, and with the unhappy conditions of
that republic. In that event there is no rea-
son to DOUBT that the just CLAIMS Of our citi-

this might be secured in advance BY = pre-

1t may be said that these measures will,
at least indirectly. be inconsistent with our
wise and settled policy not to interfere in
the domestic concerns Of foreign nations
But does not the present case fairly consti-
tute an exception ? An adjoining republic
