Breckenridge, of Pittsburgh (wel known in the lite
nature Of the United States,) is a wing. He was
opposed (says the Weschester Republican, the an
nexation of Texas, because he believed il would lead
to war; but Texas being annexed, he is not one of
those who disposed utterly disregard the rights
of their own coufitfy, as involved in the now
waging." The following is an extract from letter
he has addressed 10 the public under his name
'' feel for the honor of my country and hope for
the success OF her arms As respects Mexico, con-
slider our course just; Texas had right to annex
herself. Mexico has insolenty refused overtures of
peace. Having go, into difficulty, in consequence Of
annexation, do not see how q tO be avoided
by the administration, without surrender of certain
points which it could not surrender. II bound to
claim the Rio Grande the line; and being at war,
the amount due for spoliations by Mexico must be
secured by seduesratiOn Of California or other terri
tory. and indemnity must be obtained for the expenses
Of war"
Judge Breckenridge may be wing, bat he does not
belong to the Mexican party"
