Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Miguel A. Otero of New Mexico, on the Indian Depredations in the Territory of New Mexico: Delivered in the House of Representatives, Feb. 21, 1859
Mr. Chairman, if you desire proof of these facts, it can be furnished. I mention them here solely for the purpose of show ing you that the people of New Mexico complain that the pro tection that was promised has not been extended rtc them; and that having failed in that, they ask that something might be done to have their claims for Indian depredations examined; and if they come within the provisions of the treaty or the intercourse act, that they may be allowed; and if not, then they will be satisfied. I trust, therefore, that an opportunity may be offered them to test the right and justice of their claims. And I hope that the bill now under consideration may be passed It creates no new omoos, it requires no appropriation. It is a simple bill to give the citizens an opportunity to present their claims properly before the Government.
