A. II. SANDERS, EDIT OH AND PROPRIETOR. CITY Qr E7AIT3VILLE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AI CIST H. To tli oik c lor mins: Club. During the fpast week wc have seeral ti rices been called upon by persons forming Cluhs in the country for the Journal, to know whether Clubs of five or six could not obtain the paperat the rate of $1 50 per subscriber. We 6liouIJ like to accommodate our friends in the country, und take all pains to do fo, hut in this particular we cannot injustice to others or to our own interests. We take no Clubs of less than si.v subscribers, except at the single subscription" price. Clubs ofticclre cr more, ere furnished at the rate of $1 50 per subscriber. II we furnished Clubs of six at the EamepricenstIio.se of twelve, nil in ducemcnts would he lest for getting larger Clubs: and we actually cannot a fiord the Journal to Clubs of six for that price. Clubs of twelve cr more have hern formed to secure the Journal at SI GO per Fubseriber, nnd it. would be injustice to the friends who did this, toperrnit others r:ow cl smaller Clubs to cbtaiithe Journal at this price. , There is scarcely n, neigh borhooJ hut hv a little activity on the part oS some friend, could furnish the Journal with a Club. We are willing for two neighborhoods or Tost Offices to unite in making a Club of twelve, ns has been danc in several caces. if the names and money be brought in at the tame time. Tim, for example, n friend of the Journal in Cynthiana wished to make up a Club of sullicient size to pet the paper for SI 50 per subscriber. "Willi the li-st we had there already he could only "get a Club of six. lie then went to Owctistille, nnd got a Club of six. On bringing in the n.mp. lie explained the matter, and we put the names in our book? as a Club of twelve, he paying SI 50 each name, and we to direct the paper respectively to the two places. This plan will assist our friends considerably in their exertions. Again, we often have applications from . persons living in places where Clubs have been formed, who some time af:cr the fcrmMtion of these, wish to come in at Club subscriptfon price. By admitting them, we nnli confusiou on our books, nnd overcome the very object of forming Club?. After this, we. shall take no names at Club prices, utiles they come in with Clubs. Important from XVnsliIiiston. ItwiJIbescen from telegraph dispatches in another column, that Mr. l'oarce's bill on . the gcttletnent'of the Texas boundary ques- ; tion or the line, passed the Seriate on the Pth :iust, by a vote of 30 to 20, the two Texan Senators voting in the ntlirr.iatirc well as the friends of the compromise generally. The bill proposes a certain boundary Ii.:e between Texas and Iew Mexico, and the payment of , SlO.OGO.C'X) to Texas in consideration of her relinquishment of her claim to a portion of the territory which she has professed to consider as belonging ta her.

Plank lload. The following letters were tent us by Fullerton, to whom we return 'thanks, for thus affording us the means of informing our readers still further on the interesting subject of Plank Iloads: Owe.nsville, Aug. 12. 1S50. Mr. Saxdeks : It will be recollected that a few weeks nro, I cave a sketch of a kind

of road which I proposed, or a substitute for plank roads in 6uch location as plank roads arc not well suited for, on account of high water. The sketch ran thus : " The embankment is to be prepared, and the streamers laid as for plank road ; but the streamers must be six inches thick, and four teen inches broad, roust be firmly laid four and a haf feet apart, and the span between packed with either charcoal or gravel, tc. This plan being submitted to Mr. Owen, I received from him the enclosed letter ; and as anything from that gentleman on the subject of road, must be interesting. I of.vr it to you for publication presuming he will make no objections. Yours &c., CHARLES FULLEIITON. New Harmony, July 3, 1350. Dear Sir: Absence from home, on the canvass for delegate to the Convention, has prevented an earlier reply to your favor of the 17th ultimo. I think it likely, the road yot propose may answer a good purpose. What are called train roads have frequently been used in Enyhnd, and with success: and yours is. in effect, a train-road. Some train-roads have stone blocks for the wheels to run on ; and some only - wood, as you propose. In England they arc usually macadamized between the streamers. As to charcoal roads, they have been tried in several States; and, it is said, with success. One might suppose, that the coal dust would bean objection; but I have heard it taid by some who have traveled them, that they were not annoyed in that way. If you take hard wood for your ftrenmcrs, and lay them true and firmly, the power of draught on the road will be greater than on a plank road. .There is a train road leading out from the London docks, laid however, with granite, on which a single horse draws a wagon, which, when it reaches the pavement, requires .r horses to draw it. Where the streamers meet, there should be underlaid a piece ol plank to.bre.ik joint upon : lay each plank, two feet long. This will prevent sinking at the ioint. And of course the joint on one ide should be oppo" site the centre of a streamer on the other. I think the ground should bo thoroughly rolled before laving the streamers. We have - y a wooden roller weighing 21 tons, of burr oak, I feet in diameter and 8 feet long. - It strikes me. that if, without too much expense, you could get some good clean sand to cover thinly the charcoal, it might be advantage. I agree with you, that long heavy embankments, besides the first expense, are unsafe. We have Ik come so convinced of this here, that we had nt first thought ol making a submerged road over Fox Island, (the object being, to reach Graysville;) but finally, we have resolved to connect the Graysville and Mffunt Vernon mails, by a steam ferry packet, running two or three times a day between Harmony and (Jrnysville ; the distance about 13 miles; and the boat to run 12 miles an hour, ami carry ten teams. We have the money subscribed. I shall hope to hear from you the further result of your experiment; of which, ii the streamers be hut solidly and carefully laid, I argue favorably. I am, dear sir, Yours truly, ROBERT DAL OWEX. CtlAS. Fixlerton, M. D. P. S. You say that you 'spike strips of timber, 5 incites wi le, on the outer edge of the streamers. If I recollect aright, thi-j flange, (if I may so call it) is. on the English roads, placed on the in:ir.r edge; and 1 think this miht be preferable, unless. indeed, the ordinary buggy I rack is .too narrow to allow it. It seems to me that the dillieulfy of turning out would Almost necessitate a double track; but if that can be reached at SICCO to $1200 pcrmilc.it might, in many locations, bo preferable t )al'iaiik Road. The experiment at O.vensville, pro'ves the road will do well, but the streamers must firmly Im embedded or thcyvi!l get displaced. ! and lhathewn timbers are better than sawed as they are less likely to rpring out of place C.

Stute, on lite 'fpiim IlouUtlury To ihe Senate and House of Representatives: I herewith transmit to the two Houses of Congress, a lelter from his Excellency, the Governor of Texas, dated on the Mth day ol June last, addressed to the late President of the United States, which, not having been answered by him, came into my hands on his death; and I also transmit a copy of the answer which I have felt it my duty to cause to be mane to thnt communication. Congress will perceive that the Governor of Texas officially states that, by nuthority of the Legislature ot that State, he dispatched a special commissioner, with full power and instruction to extend the civil Jurisdiction of the State over the unorganized counties of El Paso, Worth, Presidio, and Santa Fe, situated on the northwestern limits. He proceeds to say that the commissioner had reported lohim in an official form, that the military officers employed in the service of the United States, stationed at Santa Fe interposed adversely, with the inhabitants, to the fulfilment of his object, in favor of the establishment of a separate State Govern ment, eat ol the Rio Grande, and within the rightful limits of the State of Texas. '1 hose four counties which - Texas proposes to establish and organize, as being within her own jurisdiction, extend over the whole of the territory east of the Rio Grande, which has, heretofore, beerT regarded rs an cFsenti nnd integral part ol'the'Departinem of New Mexico, and actmlly governed und possessed by her people, until conquered and severed frbm the republic cf Iew Mexico by the American arms. The Legislature of Texas has been called together by the Governor, for the purpose, sis is understood, of maintaining her claim to the territory east of the llio Grand;, and 61 establishing over it her own jurisdiction and iicr own laws, by force. These proceedings of Texas may well arrest the attention of nil branches of the Government of ihe United States, and 1 rejoice that I .icy occur while our Congress is jet in session. It is, I fear, far from heir.g improbable that, in consequence of these proceedings of Texas, a crisis may be brought on which shall summon the two heines of Congress and still mere mphaticaily the Exective Government to an immediate readiness for Ihe pei fjrmance of their respective duties. IJy the Constitution of the United States, the President is constituted commander iuehief of the army nnd navy, and of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual service ol the U. Slates. The Constitution declares, also, that he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and that he shall, from time to time, give to the Congress information of the state of the Union. Congress has power, by the Constitution, to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union; and suitable and appropriate acts of Congress have been passed, ns well for providing for calling forth the mihtia as for placing other suit alio and tfficent means in the hands ol the Presi lent to enable him to discharge the constitutional functions of his ollice. The second section of the net of the twenty-t'h-rhth of February, seventeen hundred and ninety-five, declares, that, whenever the laws ol the United States shall be opposed, or their execution obstructed, in any Slate, by combinations too powerful! to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or the power vested in the marshals, tin President may call tbrih the militia, so far as may be necessary, to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. Ily the act of March 3. !SG7, it is provided that in all cases of obstruction to the laws, oi'hcr of the United States or nnv individual State or Territory, where it is lawful lor the President to call forth the militia for the purpose of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall he lawful for them to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United Stales as shall be judged necessary. These several enactments are now in full force; so that if the laws of the United States are opposed or obstructed, in any State or Territory, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the judicial or civil authorities, it becomes a case in whieh it is the duty of the President, either to call out the mihtia or to employ the military and naval foice of the United States, or to do both, if in his judgeni'-nt the cxegeney of the occasion shall so require, lor the purpose of suppressing such combination. The constitutional duty of the President is plain und peremptory; and the authority vested in him by law, for its performance, clear and ample. Texas is a State authorised to maintain vher own laws, so fir as tin ,are not repug nant to the Constitution, laws, and treaties ul the United States; to suppress insurrections against her authority; und to puni-di those who may commit treason against the State?, according to the farms provided by her own constitution nnd her own laws. Rut all this power is local, and confined entirely within the limits of Texas herself. She c ;n possibly conler no nuthority whi-h can be lawfully exercised beyond her ov. u boundaries. All this is plain, and hardly needs argument or elucidation. If Texan nnlilia. therefore, march into any one of the oilier States. or into any territory ol the United States, there t) execute or enforce any law of Texas,

they become ct that moment trespassers ;' fire the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo nor they arc no longer under the protection cl j has it any such power how, since the quesuny lawful authority, and arc to be regarded ? t im has become u question Svtween the merely ns intruders ; and if within such S:ate Smte of Texas and the? United States. So or territory theyobstructany law of the United far ns this bouidnry is doubtful, that doubt Stales, e ither by tower of arms or ni'"'re now-1 can onlv be removed by some tut of-Con-

er of numbers, constitu!i::g such u combina tion ns is too powerful to Ua suppressed by the civil authority, the President of tie1 United States has no optioa left to him, but is bound to obey the solemn injunction ol the Constitution, mil exercise the high powers vested in him by that instrument and by the I acts of'Congn ss. Or, if any civil poe, nrmed or unarmed, enter into any territory ol the United Statt', under the protection of the laws the reof, with intent to seize individals to be carried else where for trial for alleged ollences, and tin posse be too powerful to be resisted by the local and civil authorities, such seizure or at - tempt to seize is to be prevented or resisted ! by Jhe authority of the United States The grave and important question now ? 1 - a t -i 1 . . f' arises, whether there be in the territory of Icw lexico any existing law ol the: United States, opposition to which, or the obstruction of which, would coastitute a Ca- calling for the interposition of the authority vested in the President. The Constitution cf the United States declares that "'this Constitution, and the laws

of the United States, which shall be made in

pursuance thereof, and all the treaties made, or which shall he made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land' If, therefore, New Mexico be a territory of the United States, and if any treaty stipulation be in force therein, seich treaty stipulation is the supreme law of tue land, and is to be maintained and upheld accordingly. , : -In the letter to the Governor of Texas, my reasons are given for believing that New Mexico is now a Territory of the United Slates, with the same extent nnd the same boundaries whieh belonged to it while in the actual possession of the repubhc of Mexico, and before the late war. In the early part of that war, both California and New Mexico were conquered by the armscl the United States, and were in the military possession of the United blaies at the date of the treaty of peace. IJy that treaty, the title by conquest was confirmed, and these territories, provinces, or department!!, separated from Mexico forever, and by the same treaty, certain important rights and securities were solemnly guarantied to the inhabitants residing therein. Ry the fifth article of the treaty it is declar ed that " The boundary line between the two republics shall commence in the Gulf of Mexico, three, leagues from land, opposite the mouth of the II io Grand?, otherwise called the Kio Rravo del Norte, or opposite the month of its deepest branch, if it should have more than one branch emptying directly into the sea; from thence up the middle ot that river, fidlowing the deepest channel where it ha3 more than one,to the point where itstnkes the southern boundary of New Mexico (which runs north of the town called Paso) toils western termin tti'Mi ; thence northward along the western hue of New Mexico until it intersects the first branch of the river Gi!a(or if it should not intersect any brunch of that river, then to the point ( ii the said hue nearest to such branch, and thence in a direct line, to the same); lher.ee down the middle of the said brunch und of t lie said river until it empties into the Rio Colorado; thence across the Rto Colorado, following up the division line be tween upper nnd Loner Cuhlorma to the Pacific ocean. " The eighth article of the treaty is in the foiliwing terms: '"Mexicans now established in Territories previously belonging to Mexico, and which remain for f he future within the limits of the United States, us defined by the pretent treaty, shall be free to continue where tfry now reside, cr to move at any time to the Mexican republic, retaining he property which they possess in the said T rritories, or disposing thereof and removing the proceeds wherever they please, without their being subjected, on this account;to any contribution, tax, or charge whatever. . 'Tho.-e who shall prefer to remain in the said Territories may either retain the t. tie and rights of Mexican citizens or acquire those of citizens of the United States. But they shall be under the obligation to make their e lection wit h?none year from the date of the exchange of ratifications ol mis treaty: nni those who shall remain in the said Territories after the expiration of that year, without having declared their intention lo retain the character of Mexicans, shall he considered to have elected to become citizens of the United Slates. Inthesnid Territories property of every kind, new belonging to Mexicans not established there, shall lie inviolably respected. The present owners, the heirs of these, and all Mexicans who ma) hereafter acquire said property by contract, hall enjoy, with respect to it. rriViritntecs coually umi.Ie us if the same beLngcd to citizens of the United Ütatcs." . The ninth article of the treaty i3 in these words : - ;i The Mexicans who, in the territories aforesaid shall not preserve ihe character of citizens of the Mexican republic, conformably with what is stipulated in the preceding article, shall be incorporated into the Unioi. of the United States, nnd be admitted at the proper time (io be judged of by the Congress of the United States), to the enjoyment ofnll the rights of citizen of the United Stales, .according to the principles of the Constitution, and in the meantime shall bo maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty and property, aad cc cured in ihe free exereiac of their religion without restriction. " It is plain, therefore, on the lace of thee treaty stipulations, that all Mexicans established in Teriitorios north or east of the line of demarkation already memioncd come within the protection of the ninth article; and that the treaty, being a part of the supreme law ol the land, docs extend overall such Mexicans, and assures to them perfect security in the tree enjoyment t their hoerly nnd prop ertv. as well as t?i the free exercise of their religion; and this supreme law of the land, being thus in actual force over ibis territory, is tobe maintained until it shall be displaced erstipcrevded by other legaL provision?; ami if it f c obstructed or resisted by combinations to j powerful lobe suppressed by the civil au'hority, the case is one whieh comes within the provisions of the law, and which obliges the President to enforce these provisions. Neither the Constitution. t:or the laws, nor iny oath of uTice, leaves me any alternative, or any choice in my mode of action. The Executive Government of ho United States has no power cr authority to determine what was the true line of boundary between Mexico and the United Slates bejrress. to which the assent ol Ihe ötute ot Texas may be necessary, or by some appropi rite mode of legal adjudication; out lathe ! mean time if disturbances or collisions arise or should be threatene'tl, it is absolutely in ! rumbent on the Executive Govertaiient,liow ever painful the duty, to take care that ihe laws be faithfully maintained; and lie can regard only the actual state of things us it exited at the date of the treaty, and is bound to protect nil inhabitants who were then estabücdicd nnd who now remain north and east cf the line of demarcation, in the full ! enjoyment of their liberty and prope j cording to fhe provisions of the Ö;!i ai perty ac.lrtieae ol the treaty; in other wcid. ull must be 1.0 w regarded as .New .Mexico which was possessed and occupied ns New Mexico by citizen? . . t 1 1 . . 1 1 t of Mexico at the date of the treaty, and a del' inite line of boundary shall be established by competent nuthority. This assertion ot duty to protect the people of New Mexico from threatened violence, or from seizure to be carried into Texas for trial foralledged otl'cnces against Texan laws, does not at nil include any claim rd power on the part ef the

Executive to estublish any civil or military I .

government within that territory. That poxc er belongs exclusively to thef legislative de partment, and. C-ongre?a is the sole judge ol the time and manner of creating or authorizing any such government. The duty of the Executive extends only to the execution of laws and the maintenance of treaties actually in force, and the protection of all the people of the United States in the enjoyment of the rights' which those treaties and laws guarantee. It is exceeding desirable that no occasion should nrise for the exercise of the powers thus vested in the President by 4 he Cuiiiiiut ion and the laws. With whatever mildres those powers might be executed, or however clear the case ol necessity, yet consequences might nevertheless follow, cl which i.o hu man sagacity can foresee cither the evils' or the end. ! Having thus hud before Congress the com munication of his Excellencv'. the Governor of Texas, and the answer thereto.and having made stich observations as 1 have thought the occasion called for respecting constitu tional obligations which may arise in the further progress of thinjrs, and may devolve on me to be performed. I hope I shall not be regarded as s teppingntide from the line of my duty, notwithstanding that 1 am aware that the subject is now before both Ilou.-es. if I expressed my deep and earnest conviction of the importance of an immediate decifion, or arrangement, or settlement of the question of boundary between Texas and the territory of New Mexico. Alt considerations of justice, general expediency, and eiomebtie tranquillity cull for this. It seems to be, in its character and by position, the first, or one of l lie firt-t. of the questions growing out ol 'the acquisition of California and New Mexico, and now requiring decUion. No government can be established for NewMexico, cither State or Territory, until it shall he firat ascertained what New Mexico is, aril what are her limits and butmdiiiies. Tfie-se cannot be fixed or known, ti'l the line of division between her and Tjcas si a'.l be ascertained and tr-tab'ished and muncrou and weighty reasons conspire, in my judgment, to how tfiat this divisional line eJiouhl te established by Congress, with the assent of the goveniui' iit of Texas. In the first place, this seems bv far the most prompt moda of proceeding, by which the end can te accomplished. - If judicial proceedings were resortidlsli ucli pioceaUmgs woula uecessan csorti,aii3jf i y be sfofc, an ' ut: years would pass by, in all probabiliiYf' before theVontioversy could be cnueu. uy) fjr in ueiay, in mis cum, is io be avoided it possM.lr,. touch delay would be every way 'inconvenient;' and nullit ba the occasion of dielurb.tnVtfsMnd collisions. For the same rev.soik I would, lf the utmost deference to thevisdwm of Congress, exprt "ss a doubl of tnc" expediency vfthe appointment of commissionero-friiid ol iyi examination, estimate, knd an atardof indemnity to be .made by thenrr '-Tiiis would he but a species of arbitration, which might last as long us a suit at law. . ; So far as I am able to comprehend the case, the gene ral futs ire now nil known, und Congress is fc3 capable of deciding', on it. : i ' . i . i ..t.i ' l jusuy auu properly iiuw.uk ii jjruuaui huuiu be ulier the report of the CommisHouers. ll the claim of title on the part' of Texas appears to Conyt ess to he well f ounded, in whole or hi part, it s in the competency of Congress toofler her an indemnity fur the surn ndet: of that claim. -In a case like this, surrounded as it is. b many coircnt considerations, i l! calling loc'aniicahle adjustment and hnrnedi ate settlement, the Government of the United States would be justified, in my '.opinion, hi allowing an indemnity tc Texas, not uureasonahe aul ex-ravHgaut, but fair, liberal, and awarded hi a just spirit of accommodation. 1 think no event would be hailed with more gratification by the people of the' United Stales, than the amicable adjustment of questions of dillicniiy, which have now lorn bug time," ngituted Hie country, and occupied, to the exclusion of other Subjects, the lime and attention of Congress. Having thus freely communicated the results of'my own re flection, on the most advisable mode of adjusting ihe boundary question, 1 shall, nevertheless cheerfully acquu see in anyother mode which the wisdom of Congress may devise, 1 And, in conclusion, 1 repeat my conviction, that every co isi lerut.ou of ihe public interest manifets the necessity of a provision by Congress for the settlement of this boundary question, before the present session ' be brought to a t lose. The st tth nient ol "other questions, c.oiriccted with the kmiiiu subjt ctj within Ihe same period is greaily to be desired ; but the adjustment of this, appears to me to be in th$ highest degree imjiortant.' in ,e tram oi sucn an mem, m,y well hope tnat mere win louow a reium oi h truiouv and good will, an increased attachint: ?nt to I he Union, and the gener.d satis! ac-j tion of the country.
