give the editor OF the American. a more
effective pill 10 swallow than Ciay's own
language uttered at B"ston IN September

1--WE trample upon The mos, solemn ,rea
ty between Mexico and the United States.
and rush over the Constitution, To WAR IN
THIS FiENDisH PRoPAGANDIsM; and IN such
war, according to the laws Of nations. it
IS not only The right, but the bounden duty
OF all chIls,eEdom to come into the help OF
