SECTION OF OPERATIONS

OARCO Lar Iue united states nave conSum-
mated the perhdy against Mexico, by sanctioning
the decree which declares the annexation of the
department of Texas to that Republic.
The injustice of that usurpation is apparent
and Mexico cannot tolerate such a grave injury
without making an effort to prove to the United
States the possibility of her ability to cause her
rights to be respected
With this object the Supreme Government has
resolved upon declaration of war against that
power, seeing that our forbearance instead of be-
ing received as proof of our friendly disposition
has beenlnterpretedint into an acknowledged impos-
sblllty ON our part to carry successful war
such an error on the part OF the United States
will be advantageous to Mexico, because, sud
denly abandoning Its pacific attitude it will to-
morrow communicate to Congress the declaration
of war, and excite the patriotism of its citizens to
sustain the dignity Of the nation and the integrity
OF It's territory, now treacherously attacked. in
utter disregard of all guarantees recognized in this
enlightened age.
You will readily appreciate the inheritance of
this subject, and the necessity OF preparing the
troops under your command to march towards any
point which may require protection against these
most unjust aggressions.

Thus we are 10 be involved in foreign war To Ia
subjected TO all the evils which necessarily follow in its
ran-IaXaIlon, the Pund'r Of property at sea the
arrangement OF business the sacrifice Of life and extern
sive public demorazaion,-an all for what Ave
Tor What Would that this question could be answered
without exposing the shame and dishonor of our country
Shame SO de p, and dshonor damnng that they can
not be washed away. They are for what They are
to sustain and carry out of the grosses and most
hagouS acts of National robbery and n,nda, ,b, ,to

institution OF human slaveryfor binding more smelly

and remorseess system of tyranny injustice and inbu
manly, that the light of heaven ever shone upon. All
this IS done, too by arrogang 10 themselves tbe
names of republicans and democrats of men who prae
about the equal and naenable rights of all men, of men
who fire cannon ring BELLS and make long and 6ppant
ora'Ions, IN honor of Liberty. Out upon such wreches
The earth is dishonored by the tread of lis dust beneath
their feet.
There are those, who seem to chucke at the idea Of
war with Mexico, and think all very WE'LL because
Mexico IS comparave, weak and we can easily ,ehjn
her INTO submission Is this the honor the Justice the
morality of a Christian nation Did these men ever
when school boys, know an unprncipled schoomate
despoil younger and weaker boy Of his dinner his
iruIt, or his pIayhings, and then fog him because he
resisted the aggression? And did NOT their blood boi,
IN their veins with indignation the injustice, cruelty
and meanness Of the scoundrel? And what better are
we, in this case, than he
we are asonlshed at the seeming apathy with which
the people have looked and suffered this nouiy to be
pepetfated in their name VIII they still suffer to 90
