Unquestionable truth! a laming ideas! which ought to effect the rulers of na tions, and in all the military enterprises inspire them witi a degree of circumspection proportionate to the importance of the subject.” Littering as Mr. J. did into Congress at this advan ces stage ot the war, it would naturally and reasonably fa l rxpected he would direct his attention to the future rather than the past. In order, however, to be correct 1 in their deductions, it was necessary to be correct in their premises. They must. W atch the wheels of Nature s mazy plau, And learn the future by the past of man, An ancient ami eruuaic Latin author (Virgil) has said, \ “Happy is he who traces effects up to their causes.” His I views c*i the origin of this war might be told m a tew words. It was the bitter fruits of trie joint operation of the presumption nnd folly of Mexico, and the blunders ‘ : Migration of the affairs of* this govern ment Both Governments had in all probability depar ted from the line of national rectitude, and may have J acted alternately and reciprocally aggressive. Ami yet ! j!® l .Gen. I oylors army not been ordered from Corpus < hrtsti, on the Rio Neuces, to the eastern hank of the Rio (I ramie, there had l>een no war That the citizens of ol .Mexico did commit, anterior to the war, numerous outrages upon our citizens and spoliations upon their proj>erty, was not denied ; and thatshe also hud neglec ted an equivalent indemnity was as frankly admitted It was true thatshe liauidated the claims of our citizens to the extent of $2/)30,139 68, part of which boa been paid. [Mr. J. here read an extmetfrom a report made by the Hon. John Forsyth, in 1837,and made some allu sions to the opinion of Presidents Jackson and Van Buren. He then continued:] That the annexation of Texas to the United States produced deep and lasting lienrtburnings in the bosoms of Mexicans, was a fact well known m both countries. The Mexican minister then resident in Washington en tered his solemn protest against thnt transaction, and looked to it as a casus belli, demanded fits passports and returned to Mexico. [Here Mr. J quoted the Presi.font’s message of 1845 and also a letter from Mr. Slidell, dated Mexico, Dec., 24, 1845,and then said :] That while we believe that annexation was justifia ble under the then existing state of things, we could not but apprehend that transaction tendea to sever the affections ot Mexico from her alma mater ; nnd he could only hope that the fruits of that transaction might ! not prove as did— Os that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our wo, With loss of Eden.” And he ardently desired that it might not prove an Aehan in the conip of a Jonah on hoard our ship of state. It had been alleged that the rejection of the Hon. John Slidell as minister plenipotentiary at the Court of Mexico completed the catalogue of aggres sions thnt justified the Government of the United States in waging war Such, however, wns not his opinion, after full investigationof the diplomatic correspondence on the subject. Mexico would have been willing, she proposed r.*jeatedly to receive him in the capacity of a commissioner to negotiate a liounnnry between the two ; Republics, but the Administration persisted iu demand ing t!i it be should be received with plenary powers.— And this Las been used as a flimsy pretext so- prosecut ing n war, which has cost om country thousands upon thousand* of valuable lives and millions upon millions of dollars ; and. to complete the budget of blunders,and to render more palpable his consistency, he has since dispatched a commisswner in tlu* person of Mr. Trial. That the removal of General Taylor and his forces from Corpua Chriati on the Nueces to the I)el North, thereby traversing the modern Mesopotamia; was the prime ami proximate cause of hostilities, is now the set tled opinion of the people, and has born liberally endor sed by the leading friend* as well a* the opponents of the Administration. If was then that we croased the ! Rubicon I waa tin n the die was cast; and tin- flan- ; gumary calamities of Pandora’* box were then spread ! out on faith nations. That was the crowning act of Executive folly To prove that the desert country between the Nue ces nnd the Rio Grande waa disputed territory, Mi J. referred to a great variety of documentary testimony He quoted from a S|*-eeh delivered by Mr. Senator A slil v on the annexation resolutions, a- follows: j “ The third (of hi* own resolution*’ speaks for itself, ; and ttlibls* the United States u>settle tne boundary be- I tween Mexico slid the United States properly And I will here add that the i-r. went boundttrics ol Texas,us I I learned from Judge Kills, the President of the Con- I vention that formed the constitution of Texas, mi l al so a member of the first Legislature under that const!- j tut ion, were fixed ns they are now, f that is, extending to the Rio (irnnde,) solely and prof v**d!y i nth a ririr of havinu a large murgin in the negotiation with Mexi co. and not with the expectation of retaining them as they now exist m their statute hook ” Ag'iin Mr Donclsoti, our Charge to Texas, or the | agent sent on to r fleet annexation, in a communication 1 on the d3d of June, 1843. to Mr. Ihieliannn. upon the i same Hubert, sprnking of the country lietween the Nue ces and tne Kio fJrsde, says M That eonntry, you are aware, has !**en in lh aoc j ses ion of both parties Texn- has field in jieare Cor- I pu* (hristi, Mexico has held Santiugo, [near Point Isa ls* I , t th par ties, have liad aees-i wal \ <wm?ian on of i Lot • ■do niii! other places higher up ” Again in a subsequent letter, dated July 11, 18l!>, Mr I> nelson says to Mr. Buchanan I “ Sir ou will have olwrved that in mv eorrespon (fen. with tins fiovrrnment and Texas, there lias ! iwen m* discussion of the question of limit* between Mexico and Texas.

While peace is cher ished, tlint boundary will be sacred. Not till conquest rages will the people on the either side molest or mix with each other: and, whenever they do, one or iheother race must be conquered it not extinguished.” Mr J. Imre read largely from speeches delivered by the Hon. T. H. Benton, the distinguished Senator from Missouri, whost’ testimony he thought would he con vincing m the Court of Democracy, to prove that the stupendous desert ” formed no part or tne old Spanish I exas. Amongst other things Mr. J. read the follow ing : ’* With respect to Texas, her destiny is fixed. Os course I, who consider what 1 urn about, always speak of I exas as constituted at the time of the treaty of iBl9, andnot us constituted by the Republic of Texas, compre hending the capital and forty town* and villages of New Mexico, now and always as tully under the domin ion of the Republic of Mexico as Quebec, and all other towns and villages ofCanada are under the dominion of Great Britian. It is of this Texas—the old Spanish lexas—of which 1 always speak ; and of her I say, her destiny is fixed. Whatever may he the fate of the present movement, her destination is to return to her national position—tliatof a part of the American Union. ‘‘l a (here to this discrimination between the two T exases, and now propose to see which of the two we are asked by the President ot the United States lo incorpo rate mto the American Union.” Mr. Benton then went on to show what provinces this line includes, their population, their towns, their cities, &.c. “ These,” he says,” in addition to old Texas ; these partsof four States; these towns and villages; these people and territory : these flocks and herds ; this slice of the Republic of Mexico, two thousand miles long and some hundreds broad —all this our President ban cut on fr.nt its mother empire, and presents to us and declares it is ours till the Senate rejects it. He calls it lexas! and the cutting off he calls re-annexation ! Humboldt calls it New Mexico, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo Santander, (now Tainaulipas,) and the civilized world may qualify this re-annexation by the ap plication of some odious and terrible cpi tael.” Mr J also read the following resolution, offered by Mr. Benton when the Tyler treaty wus before the Sen ate : u Resolved, That the incorporation of the left hank !,’ ‘ K ’ K. 4. -i receive*, and for sale low, by w S F.

Mr. J. would alt-tain from any other quotations ex cept to state that Mr. Calhoun, a t the period lie fore re ferred to,attempted to repel charges brought against his treaty, and sought to show that we never meant to claim the territory embraced in the act of the Congress of Texas ; but that on the contrary, we were very desi rous to open a friendly negotiation with Mexico far the purchase ot such a boundary as would be the most con venient. To express this purpose to the Mexican Gov ernment, Mr. Calhoun wrote to Mr. Green on the 19th of April, 1844. “ You are enjoined by the President to assure the Mexican Government that it is fus desire to settle all questions between the two countries which may grow oni of this treaty, or any other cause, on the most lib eral and satisfactory terms, including that of bounda ry” Such testimony from such sources (continued Mr .J .) •couid not fail to prove that the course of the President was diametrical to the views ofthe most distinguished statesmen of hi* own party. Thus out ol their own mouths were they condemned. Mr.J. then proceeded to show that the march of Gen. Taylor's army through the desert was in obedience to 1 the orders of the President, bv readings communica tion bom Mi. Mu icy, Si-ci etaiy oi War, to iirtg. Gen. Taylor, ol the date of 13ih of January, 1846, thus; ’* Sir : lam directed by the President to instruct you to advance and occupy, with the troops under your com mand, positions on or near die east bank ofthe Rio del Norte, as soon as it can be conveniently don** with ref i erence to the season nnd the routes hy which your movem *nts must be made.” Mr. J. then proceeded, and said, in order to make manifest the political fidelity and integrity ofthe Presi dent, it was only necessary to call the attention ofthe committee to the following facts : (fa the 15th of June 1845, we find that Mr Bancroft, then ot the War De partment, informed Gen. Taylor that the point ol his ul timate destination was the Rio Grande del Norie ; thus moving upon the disputed territory, which Mr J. re garded as forbidden ground, as the action of Congress nad indicated a willingness to treat for the settlement of that boundary. It hud been left open to future ne gotiation In the November following Mr. Slidell was dispatch ed to Mexico m the capacitv of a Minister Plenipoten tiary, to conclude a settlement of bounartet of tne ter ritory into which Gen. Taylor, a few months thereafter was ordered to inarch ams to possess with an armed force ; and even so late March 12lh, 1846, Mr Buch anan, by offieml communication; urged Mr. Slidell not to leave Mexico, knowing at the same time that Gen. Taylor was advancing with his army to the Rio del Norte. Thus we|>erceivethe obvious union ot the hands ot Esau and the voice of Jacob. Far fa* it from Mr. J. unjustly to impugn the motives of the President, or any ofthe nigh functionaries ofthe Government. It was no pleasure to him, nor was it his custom, to indulge in acrimonious animadversion towards any individual, either in high or low station j and while he should express himself unreservedly of of their acts, he desired to judge charitably of their mo tives. That which had hnppened was irrevocable. Let us guard well the future. Mr. J. then alluded to the action of the House a saw days since, in the adoption of the amendment ofthe gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr Ashtnun,) declar tlint this war “ was unnecessarily and unconstitution ally begun by the President ofthe United Sta*es,” and not having an opportunity to record his vote upon the subject, he would embrace this opportunity to define his |KJsmon on that point. He laid it down an a propo sition that was susceptible of proof, that, notwithstand ing tne offences of Mexico were such as might nave jus tified,in tlie opanon of many, preparation for wraron the nart of the United States, the Cbiet Magistrate of th,s union was not authonzed msidously to adopt such a course as would inevituby result in hostilities ures ertive ofthe voice of Congo** then iu session .and more especially as the war-making power, was by the fra m.ra ofthe Constitution, wisely aud cautiously withe Id ; from the Executive Department. Nor was it confided to the Judiciary Department. In Congress, and Con j grea* only, was this power vested. To prove which Mr. i J. first read Story on the Constitution (Vol. 3, p. 59, ch, 21) on the power to declare war and make captures, as’ I follows : “4 1163 The next power of Congress is to declare ’ war, gran’letters of marque and reprisals and moke rules concerning captures on land and water.”—[See the lltli clause,Bth section, Ist article of the Constitu tion of the United State*. ] A iso, section 1165 ofthe same chapter, thus “ The only practical question upon this subject would seem to lie to what department oi the National Govern ment it would fa* most wise and *le to confide this high ; prerogative, emphatically called the last resort of Sov ereigns. ultimo ratio reyem. In Great Br.tain it is the i exclusive prerogative oi the Crown, and in other cotin- I tries it irtijsuully, it not universally, confided to the Ex i ecntive department. It might by the constitution have fa*en confided to the Executive, or to the Seuatc, or to both conjointly. ” He ul*o read the following from the some authority: j “ The representative* ofthe people are to levy taxes to support a wnr, and therefore have a right lobe con sulted as to it* propriety and necessity. ‘ldle Executive is to carry it on, and therefore should be consulted as to }t* time and the ways and meansof making it effective, j The Cos opt ration of nil the branches of the legislative | nower oughi, upon principle, to be required in thi* the nigh si net of legislation, an it ia 111 all others. Indeed, i there might be a propriety even ill enforcing atill great er restrictions, a* by requiring a concurrence ot two thirds of faith Houses.” Again, p. 64 : “ $1172. The power to declare war is exclusive in Congress. ” From chap. 37, see. 1486, p. 3M lie read tlie follow mg: ‘ ’Hie power of the President, too, might well he deemed safe, tine • he could not of hnnsrll declare war, raise armies, or call forth the militia, or appropriate money for thr* purpose for tin or powers uil belong to Congress In Great Britain the King is not only com mainler-iu-clii sos the army nnd navy and inihtta, but he can declare war ; and in turn* of war can raise ar mies uud navies uiul call forth the iinlma of his own inerc will.” Mr J. thanked God thnt the righ’s and privileges of th” \ i ricsn peoptf were not yet übjeot loth* pfrfqg* alive of a ot owned head He thru read at length from the Lett rt of” Helvidiot” (alias president Madison) on the proclamation ot neu tral ty of 1793. a* follows : ” Evsry just view that can he token of this subject admonishes the public of the necessity of a rigid adher ent e to tlie simple, the received, and the fundamental doctrine of the constitution, that the power to declare war, me n ling the pow r ot judging of the causes of war, IS fully Slid exclusive iff vested in the legislature ; that the Executive has no right, in any cast*, to decide the qn stioti whether there is or is not cause tor deeiin VOL.

That President that aa aumes the authority to exercise the war making power perse, snatches away the columns that support therem pie ol liberty, strikes a direct blow at the foundation of out republican institutions, and constitutes himself the master and not the servant of the people Such a course would he to demolish the fundamental principles of Iree government, and establish a monarchy upon its rums. And such a course would be the triumph of the one-man power over the sovereignty of the people ; and such is the tendency, but he forbore to say such was the design nl the present Adm mstration Bathe woa'd say that the course punned by the President was an as sumption olaumority unknown in the administration ot ms predecessors. When the limits between the Itoundanesof Spam and the United Slates were un*.-.

But, as early as 1835, we find her relapsing into consolidation and centralism In 1818 we find her realizing the horrors of anarchv What was right in regard to the things of yesterday may be wrong when applied to those of to-day. Our present relations to Mexico are not what they were in the inctpiency of this unhappy conflict. A few years ngo, and she was not without hope. She had thecour | age and the energy to gain her independence, but hi. k jeu the virtue and intelligence to maintain it. Here | wan a delusive dream, and widely different has hern the i reality And the history of her btief career strikingly exemplifies that scriptural admonition, “ L-thm t ■ think th Ivsta iJeth lake he i left he tall. ” For n.w, ! in her public and private rein lions, an well as in her civil ! and military affairs,she bleei at every pore. Iturbuie and Hidalgo, Allende and Morelos, Bustaniente and Santa Anna, have each in their turn risen and reigned and fallen, and Mexico is independent Mexico no more.
