THE GOVERNMENT BENT ON WAR!
 The Union of Saturday night has leader on the butndaries and extent of Texas, concluding as fol- lows:
 l" Let there be no mistake about this natter The Rio del Norte $ our boundary line. The Rio del Norte sUiH continue to be our boundary; and neither the arms of the MexIcans, nor the tongues of her diplomatist, nor the puny pens of the Ma tional Inteligencer,' will be sufficient to remove dary is planted, and the bullets of the Mexicans, the paper shot of their friends in this country will be able to shake the determination of our Ex- ecutive upon this question:"
 Now as 1t is notorious that the Rio del Norte sseuer the boundary of the Providence of Texas but rather the centre of the provinces of Coahula and Santa Fe, and as our insisting on this boundary must compel Mexico to surrender to us several un- questiontbly Mexican cities, with valuable mines for centuries in her undisputed possession, and ma ny thousands of her people or fight to maintain them, it is certain that our Administration has re- solved to push feeble neighbor to the wall, and either crush her or get fight out of her. We sec not how war is to be avoided. 1Si6ume

Many years l toiled a. lone God has raised up those who will fill my place shall not cease to pray for the spread of truth.'
