this boundary the must then continue until either
Mexico or the United States shall yield As to the Uni

stubborn folly OF Mexico should resolve the question at

we hope the United States will meet the issue should

ton. The line 10 Saullo controls the north. The peo-
pie OF that quarter quiet and happy under the existing
pursuing their various occupations without moesta
ton, and reang the advantages OF segovernment to
degree unknown TO them before. These people already
feel the great benefits of rule, in security to person
and property, and in exemption from all national de-
mands for either men money. All that will be neces-
places already conquered, by adequate number of
disciplined troops, who will preserve order and quiet,
who vii protect the commercial intercourse already es,
tablished, and who, being content with their pay will
abstain from all irregular marauding.
The line from Vera Cruz to Mexico must exercise a
powerful control over all South Mexico This line,
properly maintained by intermediate posts and patrols,
with an advanced post the Orzaba and Cordova road,
must electuay control all South Mexico In addition to
iectve movable force of about 1000 would proba-
bly, be required And, addition TO the post and patrol
troops, and the line from Vera Cruz Mexico movable
force of about 10000 would probably be wanted
These movable bodies would be ready to succOr any
threatened point TO oppose any approaching force, to
move upon any hostile district town, put down any
resistance, and place either under contribution These
lines we already have, and in addition hold every
seaport of notorety the Gulf and the Pacific There
fore, as we have previously said Mexico is at this time
almost conquered nation
With these advantages them we should dictate terms
of peace, and not yield single inch of ground until
those terms be complied with the meantime requiring
the people OF Mexico by every exacon sequesration
OF which the laws of nations and the usages of
war will justify to meet our expenses OF the war.
But suppose ii shall now be said that Mexico will yet
hold outthat she will to terms of peace, but
say that must fulfil our destines. If nothing short
OF reducing the whole of that country to province of
the United States will satisfy that infatuated people,
they will have to be satisfied. We must extend
quests it be for other purpose than to obtain
satisfactory boundary and a satisfactory peace.
Be that as il may it must be admitted by all rejecting
minds, that the have indicated better adapt
ed than any Withdrawing to boundary, to coerce a
peace and an epabe boundary and that it is also
the which places the most advantageous at
titude, should the war be continued
We now hold the keys of Mexico Every door OF
entrance to her territory is in our keeping Let us be-
of surenderng these while the lasts, lest the
hostility OF that nation should induce her to
give them up foreign hands-noimprob event, under
such circumstances We then would realize the folly of
Withdrawing to given boundary and will have yielded
by weakness, all the fruits of this war, which
has already cost much blood and much treasure
