Since your last session the President of
the Mexican Republic, distinguished by
his high character and by his services to
his country, has died. His temporary
successor has now been elected with great
unanimity by the peoples proof of con-
fdence on their part in his patriotism and
wisdom which it is believed will be CON
frmed by the results of his administration.
1t is particularly desirable that nothing
should be left undone by the government
of either Republic to strengthen their re-
lations as neighbors and friends. 1t is
much to be regretted that many lawless
acts continue to distract the quiet of the
settlements on the border between our land
and that of Mexico and that complaints
OF wrong to American citizens IN various
parts OF the country are made. The rev.
olutlonary condition 10 which the neigh
bering Republic has so long been involved
has In some degree contribted to this dis
turbance.. II is to be hoped that with
more settled rule of order through the
| Republic which may be expected from the
present government the acts of which
just complaint is made will cease. The
proceedings of the commission under the
convention with Mexico of the 4th of Ju-
| ly 1858 on the subject of claims have un-
fortunately been checked by an
obstacle for the removal cJ
which measures have been taken
by the two governments, which it is be-
Iieved will prove successful. The COM

Congress from the beginning of the
