BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.


Whereas the Congress of the United States, by
virtue of the constitutional authority vested in them,
have declared by their act bearing date this day,
that by the act Of the Republic of Mexico, state
of war exists between that Government and the
United States"
Now, therefore, /, JAMES X. Polk, President
of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim
the same to all whom it may concern and do
specially enjoin on all persons holding offices, civil
or military under the authority Of the United Staes
that they be vgilan and Jealous in discharging the
duties respectively incident thereto; and do more
over exhort all the good people Of the United Staes
they love their country, they feel the wrongs
which have forced on them the last resort of injur
ed nations, and as they consult the best MEANS
der the blessing Of Divine Providence, of abridging
its calamities, that they exert themselves in pre-
serving ORDER in promoting concord, in maintaining
the authority and the efficacy of the laws, and in
supporting and invgorating all the measures which
may be adopted by the constituted authorities for
obtaining speedy, just, and an honorable peace.
In testimony Whereof have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the seal Of the United States be affixed these pre-
scns Done at the city of Washington, the thirteenth
day Of May, thousand eight hundred and
and Of the independence Of the United States the
venieth. E JAMES *. POLK.
BY the President:
JAMES BUcHANAS,
Secretary Of State.
Weekly national intelligencer., 1846-05-16

In the course Of long TRADE, in the Executive
organ of yesterday, directed substantially against
every thing like freedom Of either speech or the
press, the National Intelligencer is charged with
prgudgment of the course Of the Administration
in making war upon Mexico, on the following
grounds:
Z" First, that we are, by the unanimous affirma-
ton of all the departments of our Government,
at war with Mexico and, secondly that the Off
cial documentary statement Of the facts which
have led to the war, and compelled it, and justif-
ed it on our part-the case, that is, of our Go
vernment-has not yet, for want of time alone,
been made fully known TO the country"
Upon which grounds, we remark, that the
" first" of them is directly in the teeth of notor-
Gus facts; and that the second is direct admis-
sion OF more than we have ever charged against
this Mexican war-that the PRESIDENT has recon-
mended it, and CONGRESS has adopted it, without
information being spread before the latter by the
former to show what !" led to the war, and compel
led it, and justified 1t on our part
Congress has, then, been driven into the War
upon information confessed to have been deficient
to have fallen short of justification of it. Who
knows, but upon such information as the Executive
has not given to Congress or the People, even ace
might have been convinced that sometng more than
the bunders and mismanagement of the Admins
tration had made the War inevitable on our part 4?
The government scribe who thus springs trap
upon HIMSELF pretends to understand US, in the in
vitaon to all good men to unite their counsels
to repair and mitigate the evils before us by every
means in their power,'' as appealing to party men
and party means to relieve and save the country
from the consequences of Executive mismanage-
ment. We should have supposed that no man with
a thimblefu of brains, or particle of generosity
in his composition, could have understood us as ap-
Pealng to the good men of one party more than
another, or as proposing any thing which could
embarrass the Government in the most vigorous
defence Of the country, or the most formidable pro-
secution of the war, should that become necessary
The PRESIDENT himself having proposed negotia-
tion when Mexico shall be willing either to offer or
receive propositions for peace we could not suppose
that the most bloodthirsty member of the Admins
tration would take offence at suggestion that all
good men ought to unite by such and other civilized
means, to mitigate the horrors Of war, and termi-
nate it altogether honorably and as speedily as
possible.

he has already done--but, still more, IL he force
1t to retire from its present position however short
a distance-by the eclat which such an exploit
will give him, and his popularity with the army,
march to Mexico, drive out the President of the
day, and seat himself in his stead After merely
stating this problem for the readers consideration,
we will add, in seriousness, that we really have
some doubt whether the crossing Of the Rio Grande
by the Mexican forces has been authorized at all
by the Government of Mexico, and whether it will
not be promptly rebuked and disayowed by il. In
this hypothesis, what would become of the solemn
assertion by law, that "by the act Of the Republic
Of Merico a state of war exists between that Co..
crnnlent and the United States 20
Weekly national intelligencer., 1846-05-16

Sooner, but not more certainly, than we had an
tcipated, bad tidings have reached us from our gal
liant little army upon the Mexican frontier--sent
there, as It seems TO us, in spirit Of bravado,
and at the imminent hazard of being cut off by the
superior force which it ought to have been obvious
the Mexicans might at any moment concentrate
upon that point. This is among the first fruits of
anncxation--a war to defend frontier which we
were assured was itself to be an impregnable wall
of defence. Richmond Hhig.
