The Secretary'suggests the expediency of
endeavoring to make som*arrangement with
the State of Texas, whereby a portion of her
vast unoccupied domain may be temporarily
allotted to the exclusive occupancy of the

however, it may deem proper to adopt in
reference to the Indian tribes in Texas, Cal

manity or cf temporary policy, as the peri

swept before the resistless tide of emigration
which continually flows towards these coun

The ease is different with regard to New
Mexico. That territory is so remote and in
accessible, and holds out such little induce

ability, to continue there long after it shall
have ceased in every other portion of the
