lion with the writer hereof remarked
in reply TO u question, that he was
somewhat amused lately at Che news
paper statements at what ne would do
IN relation TO the recent uutragg8 by
armed bundsof MeNicaus invading the
Texas frontier Such statements were
mere inventions, as he had not, since
these events, expressed his views 10
any person, not even 60 the secretary
of state, who, like himself, bad been
absent from the city. 1t was already
known 10 the public that orders had
been issued 10 Che military for the pro-
lection of our citizens on the frontier,
but IN addition to this nothing had
been done. The government was not
yet fully advised Of the outrages, al
though It had been informed officially
of the arrest Of mail carrier and
the burning Of post oHice by the inya-
ders. The Mexican COVE nmcEt had
been repeatedly reminded Of the out
RACES heretofore committed by Next
cans upon citizensof the United States
both in Mexico and on United States
soil, and would hear from this govern
ment in q short time concerning these
more recently committed. The de-
partment of state then would be in
consultation with the secretary of war
on this subject, aud probably it would
be brought TO the attention of the cabi-
net, but meantime all newspaper state
ments as TO the action of the govern
ment would be mere speculation. We
must, he remarked, determine after
that what is proper to be done in the
premises. He could see no reason for
apprehension of war between the two
countries, hut Of course no one could
tell what might take place in the flu
ture. Nothing however would be done
by this government to provoke such n
result,
The president, on being asked wheth-
er there was any truth in the rumor
about the r signation or removal of
commissioner Douglas, said he had no
such knowledge and therefore the ru-
NOR was untrue.

wrote the following in his "De}ence Of The
People Of EngIand":
"Non rex nos sed nos regem crcavimus.
Pa,rcm natura dedit populo, resem ipse
populus dedlt sibi; non ergo propter reegem
populuS, sed propter populum, rex est"
Which may be translated literally:
"Not The Federal Government the States,
but the States the Federal Government, Gre
ated. States exist by the will of the people,
whilst the Federal Government exists ny the
will of the States. 1t is not. therefore, owing
to the Federal Government that the States
exist, but owing to the States that the Fede-
rul Government exists
