And YOU by light of taper,
Sit closely by the evening fire;
Enjoying the last paper

And put this query TO yonrself-

From east and wcst-from north and south,
From lands beyond the water,

From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth tolls more than he,
Through summers heat and winter;
How can you for moment, then,
Neglect 10 pay the Printer?
Your other bills You promptly pay,
Wherever you do 90, sir

For "sundries" is the grocer;

THE ORIGIN OF THE MEXICAN WAR
THE PRErENSlONS OF MEXICO.

Some people, who may be as honest us they are
ignorant, really believe that President Polk de.
clared war against Mexico, be cause Mr. Webster
has said so. Others, less ignorant but not much
better informed, auclualIy believe that the war
was begun with Mexico when she was as quiet as
lamb, poor thing, and never thought Of rouch>
ing u.s. Another sect, more intelligent but less
honest, 20 for the fixed fact in their party chronolo.
gy that the President made the war by sedng the
troops from Corpus Christi TO the Rio Grande.
All these classes of counlry-haters agree that,
after the admission of Texas, the U. States bound.
airy went to the river Nueces but that il was dis
pued tclritor" between that and the Rio Grande
and invading the latter, as they call protecting
out own soil, they hold to be the sole of The
Mexican war. Now if they will give US the post
ion that we have a right up to the Nueces, we
will show then how they stand upon their other
grounds ofoppositon,
Facts answer all the objections of these Amer.
CO. Mexican patriots, who always prefer any
body's country TO their own.
The first Is put down by the law If congress Of
May ID, 1916, declaring the existence of war by
the act of Mexico. for which every senator and
representative but sirieen voted.
The second Is reluted by the fact that the su.
preme government Of Mexico declared war aga
INST The u. States, by the proclamation OF the
dictator Paredes, on the 10Th Of April, and in
structed General AISta TO invade our territory,
and begin the war TO reconquer the whole of
Texas, which he did by the series of attacks that
resulted in the battles Of the Sth and 9th Of May,
and stopped his career. flour troops had re-
NAMED at The Nueces, he would have met them
there under his Instructions
The third is'equally unlounded, and more impu-
dent than all the rest, because those who give it
most currency know that the boundary fixed by
Texas in her constitution and assen,cd TO by
Santa Anna after the battle Of San Jacinto, was
the Rio Grandc. They know that 1eSa, main
tanned her Independence up 10 that line as firmly
as in any other portion of her territory They |
know that when the law passed congress. organic
ing The state of Texas that portion of territory be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande was es
tabshed as part of collection district aud of
a district for the election Of member OF congress,
and is now, , under that organic law, represented
in congress None Of these after thought scruples
about disputed territory were then entertained by
The wings in congress, who voted for these very
avs.
But more conclusive than ALL the apology the
American moral allies ofihe enemy make for the
,Iexicans is spurned by them. they stand on
10 such ground as debatabe territory between the
40 rivers, but they 60 for lie whole of Texas,
