MR. STEPHENS MEXICAN WAR SPEECH.
Jn a previous cormnunicaiion, was
points d out and illustrated the glaring in
consistency of tliis gentleman, in his con
duct and views as to Annexation and its
consequences, and were also unmasked
the motives which actuated him in his im
generous and untimely attack upon the
President of the United States. It remains
now to review the arguments and expose
the fallacy by which lie seeks to sustain {
that attack.
Mr. Stephens says, the war—“the pre- 1
sent unlocked for state of affairs, is pro
perly chargeable to the Administration; 7 ’
that “theadvance movement ofour troops,
or army of occupation," as it is called,
from Corpus Chrisli, on the Neuces, to
Matamoros on the Rio Grande * * *
was the immediate occasion of hostilities.
Toestahlish these propositions, is the bur
den of his speech. The course of argu
ment adopted by the gentleman is scarce,
ly plausible; it is certainly disingenuous,
lie relies entirely upon quotations from
the series of communications of General
Taylor, to the War Department, written
at different dates between the loth of Au
gust 1815 and the loth of April 1846.
It is true, that, that .portion of Gen. Tay
lor’s correspondence, which was written
at Corpus Chrisli, represents the Mexi
cans, so far as lliat officer was informed,
to he in a pacific attitude,' up to the 7th of
January lasi. But this is only negative
testimony at best. Gen. Taylor was near
ly one hundred and fifty miles from the
proper eastern boundary of Mexico, and
was unadvised of the warlike prepara
tions of the enemy. Thus situated, how
could ho report otherwise, than that he
knew of no intention cm the part of Mexi
co, to invade our territory? It is al-o
true that that portion of his correspon
dence which was written en route to, and
at Matamoros, uniformly speaks of the
“Mexican preparations to resist our ad
vance, if not, indeed, to attempt an inva
sion of Texas.” And what is the purport
and effect of this evidence? It only proves
that when Gen. Taylor left Corpus Chris
li, where he was cut off from communi
cation with the enemy, and began to ad
vance towards their borders, he then be
gan, not to excite or provoke hostilities,
but to receive intelligence of hostilities
already existing. Now does thisevidence,
all taken together and construed most
strongly for the benefit of Mr. Stephen's
position, sustain his assertion that the war
“is properly chargeable to the adminis
tration?” Look at the logic. In a series
of communications written by Gen. Tay
lor at Corpus Christi, be says that he
sees no evidence ot an intention on the
part of Mexico to invade Texas. But upon
the advance movement ofour forces to
the Rio Grande, he writes that he does
hearofsnch intention, and on his arrival
at Matamoros war actually ensues, ergo,
“it is propcr/i/ chargeable to the Adminis
tration.” Does Mr. Stephens so far pre
sume upon the ignorance of the people of
the 7ih Congressional District, as to sup
pose that they can be “gailed” by sojihis
t ry ?
It may be tine that theadvance ofour
army to the Rio Giandc, hastened the
“out break between our people and the
Mexicans upon the frontier.” And that
is all that can be inferred from the cor
respondence on which Mr. Stephens re
lies. But to assert that it was the cause
ot that “out-break,” is to do violence to all
the facts connected with our pending dif
ficulties with Mexico. In order to have
done himself, bis constituents and the
President justice, he ought to have looked
to these facts and permitted them to ex
ert their proper influence in arriving at
an honest conclusion, upon this important
subject. As be has not thought proper to
do so, they will now bo glanced at, to
show bow utterly unsusfained are his
charges against the administration.
Let it be remembered then, that long
prior to the annexation of Texas, Mexico
bad solemnly protested against that
measure, and “declared that she mould
look upon such an act as a. casus belli, ”
that in pursuance of this avowal, the
Mexican minister to our government, de
manded his passport immediately after
the passage of the joint resolutions for
Annexation—that all diplomatic relations
between the two governments, ceased
from that time to the present; that, after
a lapse of months, during which she had
time to profit by the “sober second
thought,” and in accordance with her con
sent first obtained, the United Stales sent
Mr. Slidell to .Mexico,'with full power to
settle nil matters of difference between
the two governments, hut she insultingly '
rejected the “olive branch of peace;” and :
that Mr. Castillo, the Mexican Secretary ;
of foreign affairs in his final communica
tion of the 12th of March last, asserted
“that this incorporation of a territory
which had constituted an integral part of
that of Mexico during the long period of
the Spanish dominion, and after her eman
cipation for so long a term, without any in
terruption whatever, and which moreover ,
had been recognised and sanctioned by the
treaty of limits between the Mexican repub- j
lie and the Z niled S'ates of America —
THIS ANNEXATION WAS EFFECTED BY THR
REPROBATED MEANS OF VIOLENCE AND
fraud;” negotiation was at an
end, and wMfr as the only recourse of
the MexicaTOovernmknt.” Such was
the attitude assumed by Mexico towards
the United States on the Annexation of
Texas, and which she has obstinately
maintained down to the present time.
And yet Mr. Stephens asserts that the ex
isting war, is an “unlocked for state of
things“that even up to the l'2th of March
last it teas not the intention or wish of
Mexico” (although on that very day she
announced “that war was the only recourse
wlp j in ,i.i ■ ,ifiii i .. rm i i ... : -z
of the Mexican Government ) “to make
war against us and that in the actual state
of things then , to say that Mexico main
tained” “a position of quasi hostility
with respect to the United States
was “to add a new offence to her pre
vious injuries,” and that ail our difficul
ties are to be ascribed to the “blunders ’
of the Administration. The sophistry of
' the gentleman is equalled only by the un
blushing impudence—the hardness ot
brazen front, with which, he seeks to blind
the people, and shake their confidence in
our pure and patriotic Executive.
Now the remark of the gentleman, that,
“to say that Mexico maintained a position
of quasi hostility, with respect to the Uni
ted States, is to add a new offence to her
previous injuries ,” evidently conveys the
idea, that previous to the 12th of March
last, she had sustained a series of in
juries at the hands of our government.
It is asked again, to what injuries
does he allude? Does he allude to
injuries (lowing from annexation? Does
he intend to insinuate that any of the
rights of Mexico were violated by that
measure, and thereby to justify her sus
pending diplomatic relations? However
covertly, the gentleman may have given
countenance, by his language, to such
insinuations against his own government,
for party purposes, his annexation vote
stares him in the face, and stamps them
with unequivocal falsehood, oven in bis
own estimation. How could he vote for
annexation, if he believed it violated any
of the rights of Mexico, or would he to
her the source ot grevious in juries, which
would justify her assuming an attitude of
i hostility to the United States? And yet,
j he does not repudiate the idea, that the
United Slates had injured Mexico.
But to appreciate fully the utter falla
cy of the gentleman’s assertion, that it
was the advance movement of our army
¥ of occupation, which was the cause of the
! pending war, it is highly important, to
bear in mind the relative position of Mexi
co and Ihe United States at the particu
lar dales which chronicle the progress of
events. Gen. Taylor decamped from
i Corpus Christi on the Blh. and reached
Matamoros on the 28th of March, 1846.
Now, Mr. Stephens does not pretend, that
while Gen. 'Taylor remained on the bank
of the Neuces, Mexico had any cause of
complaint against the U. Siates; but he
assigns “the present unlooked for state of
things ” as he is pleased to slv le it, to the
order of the President tor ourarniv to oc
cupy the right bank of the Rio Grande—
that in obeying that order they wrongfully
passed through disputed tei ritory and ini
tated Mexico, by pointing their batteries
towaids Matamoros. But the burden of
the whole correspondence between Mr.
Slidell and Mes-rs. Pena y Pen i and
I Cost! do, the two Mexican Secretaries of
foreign affairs, shows conclusively that
Mexico, long prior ’o that time, consi
dered that the United States had commit
ted an act of war by annexing Texas.—
As far back as the 20th December, 1845,
Mr. Pena y Pena, addressed this language
to Mr. Slidell: “The proposition in ques-
I tion (i. e. to negotiate) emanated sponta
neously from the government of the Uni
ted States, and lire Mexican government
accepted it, in order to give a new proof,
that in the midst of its grievances, and its
firm decision to exact adequate reparation
it did not repel or contemn the measure
of reason and peace to which it was invi.
I ted.” To what “ grievances ” does the
Mexican Secretary allude? Certainly
not to Ihe advance movement of our
“army of occupation” to the Rio Grande;
fur that did not lake place until nearly
three months after this complaint of grie
vances. And what does Mr. Pena y
Pena mean when he announces Mexico's
“firm decision to exact adequate repara
tion / ’ He surely does not means “to
exact” it by negotiation, for that is the
very thing which he was then rejecting.
So far then from the advance of Gen. Tav
tonolhe Rio Grande, being tfio source
i of these grievances, annexation was the
ground of complaint with Mexico, and it
was for that, that she was firmly deter
mined do exact adequate reparation,' —not
such reparation as might be obtained by
negotiation, but such as could be enforced
bythesword. And this view is amply sus
tained by the subsequent portion of the
correspondence. On the 12th of March,
1846, Mr. Gostillo says to Mr. Slidell.—
“The Supreme Government (Mexico)
had beforehand declared that il would
look upon such an act (i. e. Annexation)
as a casus belli, and. as a consequence of
this declaration, negotiation was by its
very nature at an end, and war was the
only recourse of the Mexican Government
i This language was used sixteen days
; before Gen. Taylor reached the Rio
i Grande; and indeed from the absence of
any allusion to the fact, it is evident that
the Mexican Secretaiy did not know of
theadvance ofour army to that point.
The truth is, Mexico had chosen her al
ternative, long before Gen. Taylor was
ordered to leave Corpus Chrisli. She
considered, or pretended to consider, that
she was, to use her own 'language, des
poiled of a portion of her territory" by an
| nexation, “effected by (he reprobated means
of violence and fraud. 1 ’ And rejecting
negotiation, she was “firmly decided to
exact adequate reparation by the only
1 other mode of redress— the sword. In
view of these facts disingeniousness is too
mild a term to characterise the effort of
Mr. Stephens to urge upon an honest and
confiding people, that our war with .Mexi
co, “is properly chargeable to the admin
istration. ’ Is it not a “ masked design '
to ritislead and deceive them?

1 do hereby certify, that my daughter. Atm Eliza,
was attacked about three years ago, with Palsy
and disease of the Spine, by which she was en
tirely disabled, and lost the use of llie lower ex
tremities. She was immediately put under the
care of Dr. Findel, who attended her for some lime,
but without benefit. We then applied to Dr.
Parker, a Root Doctor, who, after he had treated
her case some time, concluded that lie could do
iioiiiiug for her. We then applied to Dr. 'Thomas,
ofCuloitenville, who attended on her eight months,
without the least benefit; for she was fell in a
most deplorable condition—perfectly helpless—
wherever she was laid, there she remained w ith
out tiie power of motion, by the greatest effort of
the will. She was so much reduced, that she
looked as if there were not five pounds of flesh on
her whole body—so that she cuu.d ne compared to
nothing but a living skeleton, if such could lie im
a iued. V\ Idle in lids state, I was induced to ap
ply to Dr. M. 8. Thomson", of Macon, who, 1 am

constipation, sea-sick ness, nausea, proceeding from (
wbntevercau.se. In cases of general debility, it j
I has proved one of the best remedies, and is there

j gentlemen,students,aiul others of sedentary habits,

they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and ;
i likewise been administered wiili the happiest effect ;
( in cholera infantum. 1
In all tlie foregoing complaints, these Bitters w ill
be found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
; And although it lias been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other
than those above enumerated, is the proprietor vvili
i ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Billers have been eight years be- ‘
fore the public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie
: tor has entered largely into the business—bottles
! are procured having “‘Colleton Billers” moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed with an appropriate motto. Price 8 1 per bottle.

Os the Colleton Bitters— "(purely a Vegetable
Compound" and which, from the confidence I have
j in ibe character and integrity of the maker and pro
prietor thereof, 1 verily lielteve to be true,) 1 en
tertain the most favoratde opinion. Several of my
personal friends and acquaintances, long afflicted
1 with Dyspepsia, have assured me that they have
found these Bitters belter than any other medicine
; they ever tried, for that distressing disease. And 1
I take the ph as tire further to stale that I have wit
nessed the excellency of these Billers, in natisia,
sick-beadacbe, and bowel complaint ; in this last
■ particular, 1 have seen the Colleton repeatedly and
successfully tested among llie children of my own
house-hold. No family ought to be vv about litis in
valuable medicine.

cough, and there were frequently weeks together that I
could not speak above a w hisper: and besides, the iutla- '

hearing was very much impaired. After'taking liiessarsa

Messrs. Sands —l deem it an act of justice to myself
and the community at large, torelate the following facts
| which occurred in our neighborhood in the latter partof
July last. JtoieO , ayouug girl aged fourteen years,
j wasafliicted w ith tin immense sore on the middle of her
, back, which defied all the treatmentofmedical skill. As
' she was a friend ofourfamily,! employed all the means in
mv power in endeavoring to relieve her, but in vain. At
] lastsome person mentioned to me your Sarsaparilla, and
I immediately procured two bottles of Messrs. Moscly A,
: Tucker, your Agents in this city, which 1 gaveto her. I
: called to see her the next day and she told me she hadta
! ken two doses and fell very much relieved. I laughed im
| moderately at this, but she said it was really so, and, geu
; tlcmeu.iii a word, in two weeks from the time she. com
menced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
of where thesore had been. Yours,respectfully,
