The Rubcon is passed The deed is done. We
are now at war with Mexico, under all the forms
of the constitution. The President by pro-
clamation, and both Houses of Congress
have, by an overwhelming majorty-oniy
sirteen rotes IN the negative, aud these all mig
gerssm-declared in favor Of recognising
war against Mexico; and in providing means
for its energetic prosecution. These means are
ample. BY the laws already passed, the regular
army is increased TO about fifteen thousand men,
aud Tie special war bill authorises an additional
nifty thousand men, 10 be placed at the disposal of
the President. Ten millions of dollars, as the first
'nsialmcnf, are appropriated by law to the pay
meat of Inc troops. But this is merely the begin
nng OF the disbursements The naval force is in
creased IN an equal ratio. The President is au-
thoIized to complete all the public vessels now
legaiized by law, and also to purchase and char
ter an additional number of merchant vessels, all
(which will, probably, increase the navy, in
men alone, from eight thousand-its present num-
ber-to about ttcenfy thousand. We will then have
land force of sirfy,fue thousand men in the field,
and naval force of fpenty thousand /; all of which
are called into action by the American govern
ment to carry on successfully, cncrgeticaly, and
promptly, the against the military usurpers
ofbeautiful, glorious Mexico.
Whatever errors may have been committed by
the Executive, in the preliminary steps, we trust
and hope they will be forgotten. Let us have pa
hence. fthe President and his Cabinet have the
talent and energy necessary for their present posi-
non, they have now the power, by prosecuting
this war successfully to an honorable and speedy
termination, to entitle themselves to the gratitude
OF the republic. Let us give them every chance
to retrieve their characters Let us sink all cues
tons OF division, throughout the extent of this vast
republic, in the prosecution of this war. There
some symptoms of opposition, even in Wash
ington, among the wings, and also among the abo
litionists. The united voice of the American peo-
pile ought to rise up in indignation at the slightest
symptom Of opposition to the prompt carrying on
and termination OF this WARRIOR the obtaining Of
our Just rghts-our just satisfaction, from the mill
tary yrants of Mexico. Towards the Mexican
people as republicans, as Christians the people OF
the United States can entertain nothing but the
most iraternal feelings of consanguinity, and the
common purposes Of a common destiny. We SYM
pathlzed with their first efforts for Independence
we recognized their existence az republic-we
have treated them with forbearance and we look
upon them as brothers still; but towards their mi
lltary dictators, influenced by European intrigue,
and animated by foreign subsidies. we uust

almost impossible to do with any prospect Of success
The bears have everything in their favor the very doubt

not be construed otherwise than favorable. Had an

movements of the two armies the frontier In the
event of engagement this side of the Rio Grande
