Correspondence Of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, June 29,h. 1876.
The Tribune Of Saturday notices the romnr
"ihat Mr.. McDutfie is about TO propose a
measure to terminate The disgrsceful war with
Mexico" |, will. therefore, in all likelihood.
be opporlune 10 suggest. for the guidance OF
OF that gentleman. the whole Of Congress. and
the Government. the terms npon which Mexico
will be disposed TO settle the question Of ma.
tional difference.
A very general impression is abroad through.
out the Union, that Mexico declared he War;
this is untrue in every particular.
The United States declared the War BY the
&C, Of Annex alton, perfected in defiance Of the
declaration Of Mexico that said act of Annex.
alton would be deemed by her eqnisalen, IN a
declaration Of Par on The part Of the Unifea
States. The advance of the United States
troops to the Rio del Norie was an act of ag-
erosion during the passive action Of Mex.
leo In other words, i. was the SECOND over
ac, Of War.
The act Of Annexation was itself War
Whyi Because it was leaping the Sabine
boundary. established by Treaty, pitiout The
consent Of MerieO. and taking ground for the
establishment, of another boundary in her des-
pits.
The &C, OF Annexation was. then. an &C,
which neuuaiiEed The guaranty Of a Treaty lit
was an act which nullI6ed its obligatory duties
and overthrow the security upon which Mexr.
co reposed. for the ?ermansnce Of the peace
confessedly established By the Treaty of Amiiy
Of the United States and cilizens thereof.
Il was the ;ncipient step to suhjagate the
nationality Of Mexico by direct ulesns. after
the use Of means Of an indirec, nature. III
is so viewed by the Presidsn, and citizens Of
Mexico. IL was. in fact, War. Mexico op-
poses the aggression 10 defence Of her nation.
atty. She Is right--snd cannot recede.
II must. therefore. be assumed thar the cisi-
zsns Of Mexico are determined to uphold their
Government in their patriotic effort to repel an
enemy DESTROYS 20 sobiugsie their nationality
and The rulers OF Mexico are determined. with
he aid of the citizens. 10 resis, any proposed
adjustment iha, shall not afford positive assor-
anee tha, No bauRdayy question shall rise up in
tue tu'utes hou2n pf"cccuthgs etuii'h 70 muse
carried on in Texss; the boundary TO be esiab-
lished must, then. be certain one--s hoanda-
~ that shalt no, be subject 10 be changed ex-
cepi with The consent Of majority Of ell the
Mexican States in Congress assembled.
A boundary Of this stability ESQ necessary
to the tranquility Of toe two Republiesl can. in
the opinion Of the government Of the Republic
Of Mexico. be based alone on the guaranty Of
a foreign power or powers.
Mexico desires peace. When she sssented
TO the United States treaty Of snIi,y il was
thought evidence Of her desire Of pescs was
eiven-,he government Of Mexico thought al
so. st the time il was entered into, thai the
treaty 10 question was evidence. also. Of The
desire Of peace on the par, Of The United States.
