In the early part of that war, both Califor- nia and New Mexico were conquered by the session of the United States at the date of the Treaty of Peace. By that treaty the title by conquest was confirmed, and these Territories, Provinces or Depuriments sepa- rated from Mexico forever, and the same ties were solemnly guaranteed to the inbabi- tants residing therein. - Tollowing the deepest channel,. where it has j more thun one,.to point.where it atrikes the southero bountary of New Mexico;, thence westward along the whole southern ; boundary of New Mexico, which runs north i of the town called Paso, to its western bu/unq dury termination; thence nortbward along i the western line of New- Mexico ontil it inter- sects the first branch of the river Gila or if it: theo to the point on the said line neurest to , such branch, and thence in a direct line to the same; thence down the middle of said | Ocesa. o The Vilith article of the Treaty is as. fol- lowe: \ Mexicans now established in 'terri- tories previously belonging to Mexico. and which remain for the future within the limite of' the United States ne defined by the pres- ent treaty, shall be free to continue where | they now reside, or to remove at any time to , the Mexican Republic, retaining the property which they possess in the eaid territory, or disposing thereof and removing the proceeds wherever they please, without their being subjected on this account to any contribution. prefer to remain in the said territories may either retain the title and right of Mexican citizens or acquire those of citizens of the United States. But they shall be under obligation to make their election within one year from the date of the exchange of ratifi- cations of this treaty ; and those who shall re- main in the said Aerritories after the expira- tion of that year without having declared their intention to retain the character of to become citizens of the United Bintes in the said territories. Property of every kind now belonging to Mexicans not established there shall be inviolably respecied.

The country will concur with him in the desirability ofa spes- {iy adjustment of that question; but wheth- er the exigency is one requiring {he pay- ment of indemnity, ls a question upon which ' different opinions prevail.

He manifes- ted a hostility to the late \omnibus\ bill, and has now taken a stand against the bill introduced by Mr. Pearce, for the adjustment of the Texas boundary. We have no where seen a clearer exposition of the objections to that measure, than that given in his late lo@ing is a brief abstract : Mr. Underwood addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill, He confessed himself in some mensure responsible for the defeat of the Omnibus bill, and took this opportunity to defive the ground which he occupied in his action upon that ineseure, stating his reason which would. govern his future coutse on the measures united in that bill. The agitation of the subject of Slavery ns a moral question would never be ended until the tongues af men wers silenced and their minds paralized. The bill then would not end that agitation. 'The proposition was to porchase territory of 'Texas; if ohe owned the territory in qaestion he did not want to boy it, he preferred that Texas should keep it ; on the other hand ifit did not betong to Texas, who had-no right to sell nor had - the U. §, the riglit tu buy.

The vote upon engrogpment of the bill was much gloser, 27 1024. - By its provistond; the United States are ta pay to thncrodilom of Texus $10,000,000 for the cession of her glaime to the New Mexican territory, East of the Rio Grande.
