The long anticipated results Of the annexation of Texas
are beginning to be realized The peace of the world
has broken The United States by the action of the
President, plunged into the end and conse
qucnces OF which However willing we may
be stand by country when danger from any cause, or
however provoked assa it, cannot shut eyes
consciences to the fact that this war; part is of
gross aggression and brought by the Administrations not

restraints Of constitutional provisions and lternaona law

crisis; they will brush away all doubts and casuy the
origin and nature Of the and offer themselves unhestat

prompt and resoute onset with due force will at once bring
permanent peace fair and just terms This want and
