iinanci,s,"are aU highly important to the country and cre-
ditable to its legislature. Had thi members of congress
confined their labois to these measures only, they might
have retired to their homes with the consciousness
that- thrir time had been well expended. But in addi-
tion to these, among many-measures of minor impor-
tance, sanctioned by justice and expediency, which have
betn adopted, tltere have also beeil several unwise aud
very impolitic measures carried out. Our limits will not
permit us to designate them at present: but at a conveni
ent season, we shall examine them in detail, and so far as
possible provide against their injurious tendency.
Those win have dotibted the stability of our govern
ment, and have denied that our legijlators were either
distinguished by talent or morality, must necessarily -admit
thaFthe late congress furnished but few evidences in
favor of their doctrines. The harmony that has constant-
ly prevailed between the two houses and.the several de
partments of government the candor and courtesy dis-
played'by the members in their intercourse with each
other, and the elevated stand which has generally been
taken by them, relative to morality and religion, would
do credit to any enlightened legislature. That high
order of talent and learning .that characterizes many
of the first statesmen of America, has indeed never been
exhibited m our" legislative halls, but a sufficient degreeof
ability, intelligence and practical knowledge has been
displayed to satisfy, even the most sceptical, that the peo-
ple of Texas are as capable of sustaining their infant in-
stitutions, as are ther people of-the older states of the
American Union.
H. O. Watts has been appointed Collector for the dis-
trict of La'Bacca.
The difficulties in Eastern Texas appear to be entii ely
settled. The -hostile Indians have dispersed, and it is
belieyed the main body have re'tired westward towards
the Toweash and 'Keachie villages. The forces under
General Ruslcpenetrated the Indian country to the Cross
I Timbers, but met with no enemy. They 'destroyed sev
eral Indian villages, which they found entirely deserted.
"NearAe Three Forks of the Trinity they met with a few
Pawnees or Caddoes, who informed them that the Mex-
icans and Indians had concentrated their forces near the
Cross Timbers, about a hundred-miles above. On their
arrival liowevcr, at ihe point designated, they discovend
no traces of the enemy. They found the prairies burned
in every direction, and the whole country presented a
general scene of desolation.
We have learned with pleasure that three of the indi.
viduata who were supposed to be killed in the late skirm-
ish near the Falls of the Brazos, have since arrived in
safety at the house of Mr. Marlin, and the two who were
considered to be mortally wounded, are convalescent
Only ten citiztns therefore have fallen victims in thaj
disastcrous expedition. The Milam Guards are now sta-
tioned in that secticn, and will remain as a frontier guard
until the forces from Washington and the adjoining coun.
tics shall concentrate, when it is expected an expedition
will be made into the Indian country.

To HIS KXCELLENCY, THE PREflDEN'K
Sir I am vTell aware that it is unsafe, and may ap
pear to many an impolitic, nay, a foolish lasliness to at-
tempt to m.ike my nay against the strong tide of popular
opinion, as clearly maiiikstcd as it was, when a nation,
with one accord, elected you its legitimate head. Yet as
I claim nothing, ask nothing, expect nothing, and feel
myself actuated by a sacred motive, I feel perfectly at
ease in expressing my opinion in regard to the acts and
doings of the new administration thiis far. And here
let me premise, that I am "toto ealo," an anti-adminis-tiation
man, in order jhat your excellency may not be
deceived. I say I am, 1 was not,, sir. I credited the
assertions, and leant a willing and tiusting'ear to the
promises and declared intentions of vour excellencv T
hailed your elevation to the chief magistracy of this na
tion, wan us muen juy anu wiin us oi ignt ana caer an-
ticipations as any, even the most sanguine. I did not in-
deed expect you to achieve impossibilities, and while my
hopes were high, 1 viewed things dispassionately an'd
reasonably- What man, under existing ciicumstances,
could do, I hoped woull bo done. I regret that I have
been deceived, j. ou came into oihce amid the united
acclamations of on anious and partial people. The
dawn of your day was bright, glorious and promised a
lasting- and reviving sunshine. Alls' Alrcadv has a
-cloud risen in the horizon, and as it ascends, slowly, but
stcaJly, methmks I see it gathering in blackness, and I
seem to hear the low thunders of the mmteriiig curse of
a disappointed nation; and it does not require a prophet's
ken to foretcl that it may soon, shall I say fj tally, burst?
That I may not bo charged with dreaming merely, and
with an inability to sustain the opinions which I advance,
let me refer to your adherence to that odious and injuri-
ous system, generally termed that oi "rotation in ojicc."
I would ask your excellency, why so many, who have
dis-harged their duty with so much precision, and with
such universal and complete satisfaction those whose
arms have been nerved, whose bosoms have been bared,
and whose voices have been raised in the attainment and
support of the privileges we now enjoy, uhy I ask, have
these been removed, and others, who have jtist stepped in,
in time to reap the fruits of their toils, been mad&the re-
cipients of executive bounty? Did your excellency ima-
gine, that when they who overlooked yo-ir own merits,
in these respects, in their blind partiality, would always
sleep, and did you dare to presume upon the unan-
imity of the vote which you received, to spurn thr
people, who have mad; you great? But 1 err.
humbly ask your excellency's forgiveness you were

Far be it from me, to disparage those who have bjen yout
excellency's choice. So far as my acquaintance extends,
they arc men who, elsewhere, are men of tried integrity,
of crreat merit and acknowledged worth. Yet are they
not most, ifnotallof them, rather the warm friends ofTho,
executive, than of our' country? How much has privatii
feeling and patriotism1 been exercised to the-exclusion ol
the people's approbation, and aonsideration of the actual
merit of the individual selected. I speak nol unadvisedly,
although fcebhf, when the importance of the subject is con

titles. Be thisTvh may, it is certain thaHhese persons

lands so obtaitit.ili.and-scnriciciTt. to notorious and so
liiiqrrcsnoned have betn their possessory tights, that they
have"come down as hereditary property, from the fathu
to thesoiiSj and to the grand children of the original hold-
ers. The mast part, Sir, of the individuals mentioned in
the bill, possess clainu of Ibis character.
Tvo difficulties now present themselves. Those whir
once had written titles have lost them or, rather, those
lilies UUVU Uis.iupt.licuiiuiiiiiir Ult.til IWU1 JJI .Ull, UIU.U
the troubhs which have afthcted that ill fated setllemenl
for a long serits of years, whin the public-records were
eposod in a thousand ways to loss and destruction..
Those, on ihe"" other hand, who had no titles, and who
oufflit to have taken means to procure them, may have.
been prev: uted from doiug so, by the difficulties which.
sprung up between 1 exas and Alexico, or wnat is more
likely, being, as they are, poor, ignorant people, destitute
of all ideas ol legal forms, they may have thought, and
doubtless did think, that the long and undisputed posses
sion of the lands by their ancestors -and themselves, gave
them that right, which is known to lawyeis as the right
of prescription, and which is, in fact, confirmed by tiiP
laws of the "Partidas'' familiar, no doubt, to the legal
gentlemen who are members of this house.
These laws, as well as those of the "Repopilacion de
las Indias," and also the substquent laws adopted by
Mexico, and still subsisting in full force and vigor in that
republic, provided, that the individual who shall be in
peaceable possession for the term often years, of any por-
tion of public land, not appropriated to municipal or.na-
tional purposes, acquires thereby, a right, called in Span-
ish Bucnafc good faith which enables him to demand
anil receive a title to such land, upon paying the fees sub-
sequently established by article 47, of the colonization
law of 1825.
Suppose now, Sir, that these land titles were stolen, or
carried off by the enemy, or by interested persons, to the
other side of the Rio Grande, or that these documents
have remained incomplete in the archives ofMonclova,
the claimants, how ever, still continuing to live on thu
land, in full possession of the same, but without any writ
ten evidence of title. In such a case, I ask, Sir, will this
govei nment be so rigorous will our laws be so unjusl
as to depriv e such persons of their property, because;
tnrougti untoreseen ana unavoidable accidents, they are
unprovided with documentary proof of title'to (heir lands?
No rfii law and equity-have every where provided
icraedy for such accidents; and the bill sent by the senate
appears to me of this chaiactcr. The individuals named
in that bill, possess their lands by lone prescription,.and
the provision to issue to them titles to their land, would
seem to me us just, as their rights to such title is indispih
table. . " . .' "4.
What is then the motive of presenting-this bill? ItJs
because the unfortunate people alluded "to, cannot.comn
fonvaid with their titlts. They know nothing of the
foims necessary to their defence; noreven anything ol
the very l.inguagein which they are called on -to defend
themselves. Eucouratred by such circumstances, there
are not wanting men, who hungry for land, ancLcalcula-;
ting on then skill in the.chicanry ot the existing iaws,oa&
well" as on the helpless ignorance of the innocent settlers,
have surveyed the property of these simple people; an I
in some instances, have even effected a forcible intrusion
upon the disputed land.
To whom then, are the sufferers to have recourse? Tn
the tribunals ! But, Sir, they are wholly ignorant of the
nature of our courts; and even, as already said, of their
very language. Suppose, however, they engage in a lair
suit. Thertsult would certainly be, a conformation ul
their claims. Yes, Sir, but not until they had burdened-
themselvps with expenses tar beyond their humble means I
Net until they had hazarded their rights by exposing thetn
to the rapt-ous quibbles of dishonest opponents, whu
would resort to every means of ten lfying tnem into an
abandonment of their suit, by threatning to involve them
in a labyrinth of judicial forms, to them utterly incom-
prehensible. After this explanation, Sir, I wouid ask, what part (il
our cont,t!ti'tion what law of our renublic. would be in-
f fringed on, or affected, should congress think proper to do.
clare by law, that the individuals m question, should have
their titles ratified an I confirmed? I would entreat my
honorable colleague, Mr. Van Ness, to aid me, in hm
char and coiuise manner, in unfolding those arguments,
I am so anxious, but unable to enforce.
Mr Speaker, the truth must be spoken. In the county
of Bexar, the liappy hour has yet to come, which shall es-
tablish the supremacy of the laws I I have now in my
possession, a letter which states that, in defiance of a vv ril
of injunction, granted by the district court, anindividu.il
of the name of Nell, rttains possession of land, which be-
longs to others, and the hapless owntrs, will be driven lit
the sad alternative, either of abandoning their ancient and
juit lights, or of being involved in lawsuits, which must
complete the ruin of that unfortunate class of our frontier
settlers.
Such, Sir, is a plain'statement of facts, from which maj'
be iufered that the bill bpfore the house, is just and necessa-
ry, and in no wise militates with any organic or particular
law. I should apologize to the house for detaining thtin
with observations, made in a language foreign to most of
its members; and I ''sope, in the name of justice and heaven,
that this bill may mnrt the sanction of this honorable body
