I transmit, for the consideration of the Senate with a view to ratification, a convention for the adjustment of claims of citizens of the United States against the Government of the Republic of Costa Rica, signed by the plenipotentiaries of the contracting parties at San Jose on the 2d day of July last.
In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence?
I therefore appeal through you to the people of the country to declare in their might that the Union must and shall be preserved by all constitutional means.
