it had assumed position amonl the inde-
pendent powers of the earth, possessions
were made to Mexico for cession of it
to the u. States. Mexico saw in these
proceedings at the time, no cause Of COM
plant. She is now. when simply re-
minded of them awakened 10 the knowl-
edge of the fact, which she. through her
Secretary Of State, promulgaes TO the
whole world as true. that those negola-
tons were founded in deception and false
hood, and superinduced by unjust and in
iquitous motives.
While Texas was dependency Of
Mexico. and HE United States opened ne
solations with the latter power for the
ceSsion Of her then acknowledged terrific
~ and now that Texas is independent
of Mexico. and has maintained separate
existence for nine ycars-lurng which
time she has been received into the fami-
ly Of nations, and is represented by ac-
credited ambassadors Il, many of the prin-
cIpl courts of Europe-and when it has
become obvious 10 the whole world that
she is forever lost 10 Mexico, the United
States is charged with deception and
iaIsehood in all relating to the past & con-
demnatory accusations are made against
States which have had no special agency
in the matter, because the Executive Of
the whole Union has negotiated with free
and independent Texas upon matter vi
tally important to the interests of both
countries.
And after nine years Of unavailing war,
Mexico now announces her intention,
through her secretary of foreign affairs
never to consent To the independence of
Texas, or to abandon the effort to recon-
quer that republic. She thus announces
a perpetual claim, which, at the end of
century will furnish her as plausible
ground Tor discomfort against any nation,
which at the end of that time may enter
into treaty with Texas, as she possess
es at this moment against the u. S. The
lapse of Time can add nothing to her title
to independence.
A course Of conduct such as has been
described, on the part of Mexico, in vio-
lation Of all friendly feeling, and of the
courtesy which should characterize the
intercourse between the nations Of the
earth. might well Justify the U. S. in re-
sort to any measure TO vindicate their ma
llonal honor bu. actua'ed by sincere
desire TO preserve the general peace, and
in view of the present condition of Mex
leo, the executive resting upon its inte-
gritty, and not fearing bu, that the judg-
menl Of the world will duly appreciate its
motives, abstans from recommending to
congress measures of redress, and con-
tents itself with re-urging upon that body
prompt and immediate action on the SUBJ
jec, Of annexation. BY adopting that
measure, the U. States will be in the ex-
ercise Of an undoubted right; and if Mex
leo, not regarding that forbearance, shall
aggravate the injustice Of her conduct by
declaration Of war against them, upon
her head will rest all the responsibility.

ARE the cheapest and mostapproved FAM
" Medicine ever offered TO the public
They are extremely mild in their opera
lion, neither causing sickness of the sto-
mach, nor any unpleasant sensation in the
system, as is too frequently the case with
medicines given 10 act upon the bowels;
hence muiitudes, who have been unable
to take other pills or preparations OF me-
dicine, on account Of their nauseailng Ell
fects, use these pills without the slightest
disagreeable feelings.
By their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
of health or disease, they may justly be
considered a Universal Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which they are so
particularly designed, are as follows;--
bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
sia, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, En-
Iargement Of the Spleen, Jaundice, Asth.
ma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Piles, Cholic,
Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
Distractions, Heartburn, Nausea, Furred
Tongue, Dislension of the Stomach and
Bowels, Incipient DiarrhGa, Flatulence,
8abtual Cos,iveness, Loss of Appetite,
Botched or Sallow Complexion, and in all
cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a
cathartic or aperient medicine is needed :.
AS many of The above enumerated dis
eases come on imperceptbly, and become
far advanced in their progress before it
is suspected that they exist in the system,
no one should expect, in such cases, to be
at once relieved entirely, but should CONT
nue. the use of the pills for considerable
length of time. Full directions accom-
pany each box, for the use Of the pills,
in all these complaints for which they are
recommended.

the safe, certain and efiectual cure OF the
Agne and Fever, or Chils and Fever,
none have more merited and received me

box of these pills are generally sufficient
IN cure two common cases OF Chllls and
Fever. ~
II is not in the cure of Ague and Fe-
YER, or Chills and Fever alone that these
Pills have acquired the immense popularl-
", but it is also from their intrinsic merits
ia the cure of Fevers of every description
Yellow fever, bilious, scarlet, typhus, ner-
yous, and congestlve Fevers, all yield to
the powerful virtues Of this medicine
The accompanying directions will explain
the mode Of treating the various kinds OF
I
teyers, and when this medicine IS used IN
breaking a fever, the system is not lett
in such debilitated state as to require
two, three, or four weeks time before y
will be able TO gain strength enough Tor
the patient to attend to his business, as is
usually The case, by pursuing the common
purrative and deplelive course; but, on
the contrary, their efficacy is such as to
correct the stomach and liver, without pro.
ducing any sensible effect upon the sys-
tenn so that very soon after the fever
breaks, the patient is able to attend to his
business.
