4. To dictate a special organic law that shall provide for a
system for the administration and settlement of the frontier terri-
tories in conformity with the needs o their colonization, security
and growth, seeking after and admitting all families of foreign
countries and especially attracting Mexican families with material
inducements for the purpose of forming a mixed population ca-
pable of neutralizing the preponderance and influence of the Anglo.-
American colonists.
5. To establish a chain of colonies or military settlements of
selected companies of cavalry and infantry of the regular army
and the active militia of the frontier states in definite, advantage-
ous positions, for the security and defense of the colonists against
foreign aggression and the incursions of barbarous tribes.
6. To form a definite plan for a campaign and at the same
time to formally wage war from the vicinity of Coahuila, Chi-
huahua, New Mexico, and Texas on the savage hordes that infest
the northern frontier and murder its inhabitants continuing the
war until they are driven out of the territory of the Republic or
exterminated.
7. To invite the cooperation in this campaign of the most civil-
ized and warlike tribes of the Cherokees and the Choctaws, enemies
of the Comanches. The first named tribes have been from the
United States and, by arrangement of their government, are living
on our frontiers in great numbers. They should be offered a part

to the nation, so that they may inhabit it as subjects of the Re-
public under a public agreement and conditions advantageous to
the integrity of its territory and commerce.

tributions for ten years, by opening their ports for at least seven
years to trade free from all general customs duties in order to stim-
ulate population, maritime activity, and the development of the
coast region.
9. To tolerate in the new frontier territories religious freedom
and the introduction of individuals from all oppressed nations,
seeing to it that certain Mexicans who, because of their incorri-
gibility and vagrant tendencies, do not have a means of livelihood
