Thstit was to Be made war Of conquest,
the whole country believed; the extent Of
the contemplated acquisition Of Mexican
territory is now made known By Mr.. Sewer.
biE. Sewer, 10 the course Of his speech,
makes other important disclosures. The
manner in which Mr. Polk was 10 use the
money which be asked congIess 10 place Il
bis disPOsal-t,OO millions last session, nov
ttree nilIions-has long been . matter Of
doubt, bnt NJ. Sewer dispels all doubt upon
The subject. Il appears that certain dOcu.
meats, comprising an official correspondence
relative 70 the affairs Of Mexico, have been
laid before the Committee Of Foreign Re.
lalions, BY the President. Ne. Sewer said:
i ''lt would not be expected, however that
the President, OF any body else, would be
\ required 10 give the names Of those who I'm.
parted this information; for il would Be 4
4 breach Of confidence to do 60. The inlel-
ligence possessed BY the President, gave
them reason 10 believe that, upon certain
Advance to be made 10 them (the Mexicansl

erPenses, they would belwilling 70 cede that
portion Of their county which be had nam
ed"
Upon this basis the appropriation issoli-
cited. Here the whole matter il made
knOtDn, and the great solicilude Of Blr. Polk
to have the appropriation made Is laid open
10 the gaze Of the world. 1t isto "pay the
erPenses Of the Merican Gray." This IS
cenainly magnanimcus on the part Of Mr..
Polk! Ask the American Congress 70 sp.
PrOpriate money 10 pay the expense the Mex,
lean Government has been pOtiO to kill OUl
sOIdiersl II is now placed beyond doubt.
we think, that the assurances 70 which Nj.
Sewer slludes, came from Santa AUna.
How will the official organ reconcile these
disclOsuresi The significant passage il
Mr.. Folks message, when speaking Of San
ia Anna, is now explained. Mr.. Polk said:
alt remains to be seen, whether his TSan.
IA Annals return may not yet prove 10 be
favorable 10 pacific adjustment Of the ex.

Mr.. Polk must certainly have great faith
in Santa Anna, but Why should be mott His
confidence led him 10 furnish the Mexicsns
with General to lead their armies against
our troops, and he wishes now TO supply that
government with money TO pay its sOldiersl
Isit not q disgrace that the people Of the
