MAS he agge-sis'r m hs war To .lnthl-, ihe exc cniive demonstrates heSpnd question ttai e legIl- male western ,nndary of ftxas WAS the east bank 0i the Rio Gfande tie shows:
 First, That the Unlted States diIUa ys. and unHer every adninisifnlion. claimed the Rto Grande s,s our western boundary up To the perod of eeling to Spain nl of the Sabiae in Isig and thl ln the month oi June, iSiS President M ,nt0= .eni n spe ,a messenger to GaiDsStot 10 wara of certain i.r esh ad'eniners about to settle ll lhe ,iciaIty'' al any other place north of the Rio Grand-'
 Second, That in lhe Treaty made between Teras and Sana Anna in lS3i, Ttras expressly canned the RIo 0rande for her wesleln boundary, and h4 (>an- ta Anna) recognised II as such,
 Third, that by an act ol he Congress of Tex as passed on the l9h Decembrr 1886, aiier the re- c0gpllon ut her independence Inv Santa A ma, and which entitled '' an aci to define lhe boundaries of the Republic of Texas," she expressly declared that the Rio Gfanda from ifs mouth 10 its sunrce, was is western boundary; and by the same aet ex. tended " herciyiI and political jurisdciion' over the country up to that boundary.
 Fourth, that during the period of more than nine yeara uhIch elapsed between the establishment of her independence and her nnegalion to our Uaol, Texas exercised acts of sovereignty and iurs diclion over the territory ling between the Nueces and the Rio tirande.
 She organized and defined the limits of cOun, es extending to the Rio Gxande.
 She estab lished Courts of justice and extended her iujic al system over lhe territory.
 She established cus,um.hnuSe, and collected du- ties, and also post offices and post roads in II.
 Senator and a Representative residing in II were both elected 10 iIe Congress of the republic, and served as such before Ie of annexation took place

 Fith, that the Congress of the United States for mally accepted and recognised ihe Rio Grande, and not the Nueces, the western boundary of Texas by passing law inmedaIel, alter the admission of Texas into the Union, establishing cnslom house al Corpus Christi, west of lhe Nueces, where Texas herself had maintained one. Under this acl, the President appointed, and the Senate formally con frmed, Survey or for that Collection nstrict Con gress also passed sStahl shing Post and Post offices west Ol the Eueces.
 StEIh, that the country west of the Nueces, and bet tuA thnt ri and .hp F n (Hranda Ii tues part oC a congressional district, and is at this time represented in tie Cungressoi ile United ales
 These facts, and what Is more, these acts of the Congress of the Unied Stales the President very justly argues left him option but to consider the country he'ween ihe Nueces and he Rio Grande as much part of the Stue of Texas. and as much en titled to defence from orelgn aggression, any oh part of that Staie
 The idea that the Uaited States invited nr provok- ed war with Mexico by occupying lhe country west o the Nueces, is therefore, repudiatsd ny the Exec uiye; and he proceeds 10 show by the orders Of Pa redes, that was lhe nention of Mexico 10 make war upon the United States if Ter troops found any where south of the Sabine.
 All this is admirably put forth in the message and very ably reviewed; and it cannot fail 10 proIuco saIuta,y effect upon the public mind, both al h10e a' d abroad.
 The reasons for permitting Santa Anna 10 return 10 Mexico, are also sitlsficiorii, expained; snd it is admitted cover, that if il had been desirable to prevent h's return, il was not possible to do SD.
 The amy. the navy, and the volunteers, are all commeIded, as they iichly merit for their Rallan ry in covering they have arus w!h glory.- We do not agree win hm however, in the apIhi'n expressed, that volun ger force will be found the cheapest mode ol carry ing war, al ihe same time that il is abandanIly efficient. All experience proves in opinion directly the reverse of this extraordinary declarai ion.
