.'linyoke The prompt action Of Congress TO
recognise The existence Of the war, and 10
place az The disposition OF The Executive the
means OF prosecuting the war with yigor, and

This end / recommend that authority should be
given 10 call into the public service large
body OF volunteers 10 serve Tor not less man
six or twelve mouths unless sooner discharged.
A volunteer force is, beyond question, more
efficient than any other description OF citizen
soldiers; and il is not 10 be doubted that a
number far beyond that rcqulied would readl-
ly rush 10 the field upon the call of their coun-
try. further recommend that liberal pro
vision be made for sustaining our entire mill
tary force, and furnishing II with supplies and
munitions of war.
"Them energetic and prompt measures,
and the immediate appearance IN arms oil a
large and overpowerng force, are recon
mended TO Congress as the most certain and
efficient means OF bringing the existing col
llsion with Mexico 10 speedy and success
tul termination.
Sin making these recommendations, deem
il proper to declare that il is my anxious de
sire not only to terminate hostilllies speedily

government and Mexico 10 an early and ann
cable adjustment; and, III this view, ! shall be
prepared 10 renew negotiations, whenever
