penetrate into the interior before we can
reach the offenders, and this can only be
done by passing through the territory in iha
occupation of the constitutional government
The Eost acceptable and least difficult mode
to accomplish the object will be 10 act in
concert with that government. Their con-
sent and their aid might, l believe, be OBJ
tanned; but if not, our obligation 10 protec.
our own citizens in their just rights, seeur-
ed by treaty, would not be the less impera-
tive. For these reasons / recommend &c
Congress to pass law authorizing The
President, under such conditions as they
may deem expedieni, TO employ sufficient
military force to enter Mexico, for the pur-
pose Of obtaining indemnity fo- the past and
security for the future. ! purposely re-
frain from any suggestion as 10 whether
tets force shall consist of regular troops or
volunteers, or both. This question may
be most appropriately left to the decision Of
Congress. would merely observe that,
should volunteers be selected, such force
could be easily raised in this country, among
those who sympathize with the suferlnss Of
our unfortunate fellow citizens in hIexico,
and with the unhappy condition of the re-
public. Such an accession TO the forces Of
the constitutional governmen. would enable
it soon &c reach the city of Mexico and ex-
tend its power over the whole republic
In that event there is no reason TO doubs
that the Just claims of our citizens would
be satisfied and adequate redress obtained
for the injuries inflicted upon them, This
constitutional government have ever evin-,
ced strong desire TO do Us justice, and
this might be secured in advance by pre-
liminary treaty.
II may be said that these measures will.
at leastindirectly,. be inconsistent with our
wise and settled policy not ts interfe1e 1t
the domestic concerns Of foreign nations
But does not the present case fairly consti-
tute an exception? An adjoining re-
public is in state of anarchy and confusion.

| repeat the Recommendation contained
IN my last annual message that authority
nay be given TO the President 10 establish
one or more temporary military posts a.
cross the Mexican line in Sonora an CHA
hushua, where these may be necessary to
protect the lives AMI property of American
and Mexican citizens against the incursions
and depredations of the Indians, as well aa
of law!ess royers Of that remote region
The establishment Of ono such post at c
point called Arispe. in Senara, in coun-
Try now almost depopulaied by the hostile
inroads Of the Indians from our side Of the
line, would, il is believed, have prey en:ed
much injury and many scruelsies during The
pt st season. a state of lawlessness and
violence prevails on that distant frouiier-

numbering more than ten thousand ouIs

sgain call the attention OF Congress TO the
necessity for establishing territarial gov
