with sayrng. that, 'ron. the SP,ut ami dec son,
mantle ted by ali Nyxctos. YOU should banl,h
all idea of peace, while sioglo North Amer'-
eau in arms trends upon the territory of THIS
Republic, and there remains IN front ot lis ports
the squadrous whch make war upon thcm."-
So then, we must Withdraw or troops FROM the
Mexican territory, and order our vessels OF war
to leave the Gulf, before overtures for peace
can entertained. Ii these are to be the only
conditions upon which peace can he obtained,
the war is likely to be of long co"''n. '"c Tor
He are certain our government viii never ad'Pt
measures so humllating, however sohc'tous II
may be to have peace res ored, If such be the
real sentiments OF Santa Anna and tue Mex
government, we must prepare to make stu
more decisive demonstration against that C0un-
try. Mexico is not exactly IN that position
which will authorize her to dictate TO US tho
course we must pursue, and, II there be hear
ty and united support OF all measures necessary
to Il vigorous prosecution of the war, we can
20 humble Mexican pIde before the expiration
Of Blk months, as to compel Santa Anna to
lower ms insolcnt tone. Bat, If by our language
or actions Uo give Couutenance to the idea,
that there is a Mexican party within Ourselves
the enemy may be strengthened in his deter
mnation not to treat of peace until our armies
and navy are Withdrawn from the Mexican ter
ritory and coast. Wratcvcr, then, may te in
diviGual opinion, as to the proproy of certain
measures of qovernmcnt, which are asserted to
have produced the war, the fact that we are
engaged IN hosuluirs with foreign power
should cali into action all our patfiolic feelings,
and orr Utmost oycrt,ons to bring out country
ren,lablv lbrouph the contest. There are few
men vino do not believe that Mexico had oiven
us inst cause or war and II il worse than Idle. 10
sssoIit hairs, about the mode of its comEence-
me6t Whether the President should have re-
taned the armv on the borders Of the Nueces,
or have sen, it, as he did to the Rio Grande,
is not a question which demands immediate in
vestigation 1t will bear postponomcnt with
out injury to the commonwealth and therefore,
all the passionate and fiery discussions in the
house of representatives, upon that point, are
somewhat worse than idle. They not only
have no tendency to bring The war to an oarly
and ali honorable close, but they may prolong
it, by falsely inducing the enemy to believe
that the sympathIcs Of some Of our people are in
his favor.
