In the treaty concluded at the city
of Mexico on the 5ih of April. 1S31
provision was made in the X'XIIId
Article that annoyances and .nirus-
ionsof all kinds by the Indians within
the two republics should reciprocally
be prevented. By reference to the
treaty and ailicle cited you will per-
ceive that "both n.irties bind thorn-
selves expressly to restrain by force all
Hostilities and incursions on the part ol
tho Indian Nations living within their
respective boundaries" &c. It can-
not be doubted but the object oftlie ar-
ticle vva3 to prevent not only the eviis
which might result to the inhabitants of
the tuo countries but also to prevent
the incursions or location of any of trie
tribes or nations residing within the
bounds of one oftho contracting parts

Incursions must necessarily prci "de

were complied with and preserved
from infraction the grounds of thi.-
communicalioa would be obviated.
