The History of the world provst that there have been, nnd we are not without proof that 'here are war« waxed on pretext, that is, on pretaneee where the^iuse as- . ei|oa.1 is nut tlio true eeuse. That, I believe ■prin my ouitsoience, is the true charscror of the war now waged against Mexico. I believe it to be a war afurxtexi; a war in which the true mo tive is not •liitinetly avowed but in which pra- . t-oe««. a r rarthuugni-, evasions, and other moth. o N are employed to put t case before die ••«»- tnuniry wliieb iu juot the true c.isa. 1 think,ai(. there ara three pretests, all un- fonndad. upon which this war has been justified, W varinu* mbdea nnd on various occasion*. Thu President of lb* United Htmo* in hi- war measnge ol May. lS4'i p»«* the war upon ihelUct Hut the Mexiein 5 *v irmnent have invade I the territory not tbe case. Tlta resident > , had ordered the army of the Unitydl States as early leJemtary. 1840, lo move beyond wliat Mvxloo acknowledged to be the-buuudary ofTexeeend pliCe itself upon th* Rio Grand*. Arrived mere, blood wae shad uputi the left b*nk of tha Rio Grande. Was that American toil I That wae ■oil claimed by the Untied State*, but wli:oh Con* grew had never recognised. It wae territory claimed by Mexico as firmly ae“th* city of Mexico Usetf.and wet, at the tium, in the actual poesea* shu» of Mexico. The must favorable ‘pnrtsiit. merit, th«r*fore,ia tin*: that we, having a claim to territory of which the other party wae in poaeew- •ion. tn irehed an army into it to take possession- I- iioi ih-t war upou our aide 1 l am of opin ion tlirrefure, that th* declaration in tti*rae«*iga' of the I ]tli of M*y. I840. upon wlnfh theect of Cou-r* s of tliv 13 h, wns based, the declaration that war exiated •' by ilia act of Mexico,''•oaniml ba mid* out correctly by^eny evidence iu point of fact If «o it wee e pretext Then again, althoqgh this was the main point upon which th* recognition of war w is placed by Ihe President, no aoouar was tlje war declared, th in oilier cases were resorted to. One was the refusal of the Mexican governtncnClo receive our minister, but where was that ever nude a cause of war, end tspeci<try of Executive war! Ii** cause the government chooses not to have War* course with us, is it for the President tq lay that that i* n just cause of war! It is nq jUsl cause of war; and eveu ware it just and proper, it is no sudden emergency uuttiori*ij,g the Executive to plunge the government i^ (0 a war, and o-pocially when Cougrma is iu *ss*ion, ready, and at aoy moment, to receive ndvices and to act upon them. I look upou it, taareforv, that thiagrouud is a pre text. WeU, then comes another. Mexico, it is arid, hail declined In pay the debts, due In U. S. citt- Xdua from their citizens. 1 believe that is true, but that was not put furili ns the causa of War iu the metnage of the President «u the llih.of May, 1446; it is mu in Hie act of Congress of iho 13th of May. It is not. therefore, the enure put upou record for the act of tho government. It is •in afterthought. And here, again, ihia matter of debt* and clnnim of citizens of the United Stales upon Mexico is a matter of long standing. The condition of Mexico wre ns reprehensible six months before, as it was on that day; luit lliore was manifested no di«posiuon to aiako it a cause of war. To pay, therefore, that this war was bunded upou Iho refusal of Mexico tu pay her debts, ia d pret-xl, and nothing hut a pretext. Well then, sir. what was the object of this vail So far ns we can no scrutinize the motive* .if men. so far as we can look into the objrctsand design* of our rulers, what wa* tho motive, tho purposo, the impiiUeoftho heart, wh.ch tod to the <nea.4iirea that brought on tliid war! Why, eir. 1 have a very poor opinion of my own nng»< ity, 1 do not pretend to seo so far into such matlors a* mher men. but to men is as plain naa turnpike, a* visible a* the sun that now slnnus upon us. Sir.mi eminent person belonging to the party in administration, timid eminent cotlniuly ol'all th t do belong to it, so eminent Hint it strikes one rather oddly that tho administration should uotbn- long lo him. raihbr than lie lo it- I mean Mr. Calhoun, oneof the most practical politicians and debater* in this country—a genilemau thdlis not tpt to concede away hi* case, declared, in the last scs»ion of CoiigreM that if tlinre hnd* been no iiiiivxalion of Texas, iliere would have been no war, and he went further and said that the uume» •lime cause of war was iho order for the march of >»ur officers from Corjdts Clutstt lo tha Rio Grands. I u how did ihe war grow out of annex itionl Thi* ia a tare in which we must adopt proper dis- uiictioiia slid follow the light of ascertained facts, tfr. P. I am not now, nor at antr time, an apolu- 41-1 for Mexico. 1 have a very poor opinion of hei government in all its states, and nt all times. I pity tho people of Mexico from my heart, and I should pity them more if thoy appeared to me lo liaVe sen»o enough to undereuud the mi*- ry ol their owu uositioii. I behove it to be the v*«y worst government in the wurld pretending 10 regard the lights of tho poople. This repub lic, which, by the way, i* no republic at all, but a military aiimchy, lisa been, I am aorry to say, for years and year* the prey uf every muer&hte mill- ary up«lart that could find money enough to sus tain a miserable army. I have no sympathy, there* •ore, with any form ofgnvernmani, or any of the men connected with the government of Mexico, or the last twenty years. And I go further j I 4ayili*t in my judgment, that a ter the events of 1636, and Ihe battle or Sail Jacinto, Mexico had no rcavouto regard Texas as one of he r provin ces. She had no power in Texas, but it was en tirely at me disposition of those who lived in it They made a government for themsalve*. This country acknowledged tint Government; foreign Stales acknowledged that Government; and J think, in fairness and honesty, we must admit that iu 1840, '41, '42, and *43. 1 r-xa* was au inde pendent State of tho Union- I Ho notadmit, there- fora, that it was any just ground of complaint on th* part of Mexico, that the U. States annexed Texas to themrelves. B«it than, air, the fact wa-, that Mexico did ukeofleuceal tho annexation of Texas. Long as Texas had been independent, notorious as wm ihe fact that the government* of Europe, n* «bo as our own. had admitted tho nationality of Tex as, Mexico persisted in saying th it it wa* her provmce, and -he would not live on terms of am ity with tha United Status, although she did not go to war. Her minuter, Almoin*, went home; -tie would not receive our Miiiiwinr; she remain ed gloomy and discontenicd ; and that wns Hie cnnditmu of things immndialely after Ihe annex ation of Texas, and at the coiuuidncemeiii ol Mr. i'olk's administration I think that the object of this war was -imply tt'ia. Mr. Polk beenmo President of tho United States in March, 1845. In June, 1813, Simla An na was banished from Mexico to Cuba, on what i* called half pay. II* auum* to have been dis contented with hi* situation at Cuba, and 1 am strongly NiNpiciou* that hi- “half pay" w«a never pnid Throueh 1843, Hie condition of ihitiga bo iwKcn us and Mexico wa* thus angry and uuretis- fitcloiy. Nut 10 trouble you, «ir* with many dates, at- low me to approach a period of some intercut. It wuh in’'January, IblO, that tho army of the United States, which 111 the summer preceding, tud been ordered to take its position at Corpus Chrisii, wa* now ordered 10 advance lo the Rio Grande- The reason given by Air. Buchanan, among other thing*, was, that it might be at hand, in case Mr. Slidell was rejueicd by AIuxico, to act ns Cougrare should authorize. Now, there had lieen an opinion I b*lwve very far buck, from Hie time of Santa Anna's release from tmptuou- tnsnt, that ho was* rather more favorable to tbe acknowledgment of Texan Independence than other AIinis;ersin Alexico. At nny rate, after his banishment by Paredes, there came a sentiment, that ho was mo;ur favorable to pence with the United State* HiJii the government then cx tiling. Tha Presii war'ittftM] 1846, pU&i fact th ‘ "■ died tl hajla Criiz should head that Mr. Santa Anna wn- likely In come that warf At about Hie enme time, iTI remember right. Mr Alexander Slidell, tho brother of our Minister te Mexico, wot despatched to Cuba. It appears from the correspondence that the United diates had an agent in Cuba, It ia notorious (bat it was a matter of public con- varsation in Cuba, that Gen. Sauta Anna was to return to Alexico upon the invitation of the Pre sident of tha United Stales. Alark the coincidence of time and purpose. The President a nd in his communication at the oneninf of tha session of the last Congress, that he did not aeo any prospect of pulling an and to onr difficulties while Paredes in power. What were nnr difficulties! Our chief difficulty was that Alexico would uot assent to tho annexation of Tex ts. Now, si£ I draw the attention of this mooting lo a matter well enough known, but which.it *oems 10 mu. has not received Ihe weight, tho scrutiny, whieff it deserves. 1 again rspent that the war message of the I lift of AUy, placed the war upon tha ground of sound invasion by Mexican tronpe end th* murder of American citizona upon Ameri can ground. Before the 1st of June a proclama- tionwas drawn up. Which, on the Qth or June wns despatched to Gen Taylor, to be by him distribu ted through all Alexioo.and that purported to set forth to the people of Moxico the cauioe of Hie war. I Hay* it, end I hone tho gentlcmon of Hie press will publish it. VYhat did that duolaraiian •ay to them! Any 4biog about inva*ion 0 r A- msrioan territory and murder or American troop*! Not a word like it—not one word. That procla mation goea upon the old matter ortho riel,tv,n rid nputi the refusal to receive Air. Slidell at ,» rtr minuter, and upon 0 supposed declaration by u tho United Siatos, sunt his ■ngrriis on the It Hi day of May, existence of tho war upon the fad invaded onr territory and Jour people.

I apprehend that in a Republican government you must have a great similarity of character. It may not be so with dn*ni)tic governments. The Emperor of Russia may gqveru his E«ro- pean dominion* by ono code nf lows.nnd his Asi- alio dominions,by another code* They have no common acquaintance, no common bond ofa*- •oeiation Bui in a Republic, where the laws must nil bo similar, this cannot he.

The par ty which rails itself the Northern Democrary. (and I may use the the form a» they luve adopted it tnemselves,) adopted the policy to admit terri tory, to maintain the war for territory, to acquire all wo could and then let it in, relying upon ihe principles of th£ Wilmot proviso to keep out sla very.

If we depart Irani that if we snv th#t nii lire propriety of a war, or on tho necessity of a war, begun or to be begun,Congress has no voice, no constitutional power, we obliterate (lie Con stitution. Whut wns dona ii tho administration of Mr Aladison just before Hro oloso of the Inst war with England I ’He placed hi* term* for ponce Unfore Cpngres-; I will not Advert 10 them, but they were such ns worn strongly calculated to cren:c this disposition ill Congrss; that, upon Huron terms, now offered, if Great Britain dors not make ponce, we will not 1 vote to roftno supplies, but wa will prnsncule the war to tho end. It ao hap pened thnt Great Brjtnin did in tkn peace, and wo were not called upoir for further supplies. Cer tainly it is essential to the liberty of a . representa tive Government that lire representative bodies which have tha ptfwer and the only power to nnke war, should hold a coguiz men over the pb* jnrts for which war is prosecuted, and if they think Hint the war nriginf?ed in Hie muchierioiis pur pose which I have been dirrussing, it »» their tiiMiurss, their solemn duly to piitauenJloii ~ That is my judgment.
