NO MORE TERRITORY-CAUSES AND
ENDS OF THE WAR.

The origin of the War, it has before beet
shown, was the annexation of Texas-an act de
signed by John Tyler, and consummued by jus
X. Polk. Co.laborers with MIR. Tyler were
his friends in the Cabinet, Messrs. Upshur anC
Gilmer, both from Virginia, the one serving a.
Secretary Of State, and the other Secretary of the
Navy. They were the grand trio in The grea
work of intrigue, secret correspondence, urgen
appeal to Congress, and received powerful nit
from the present Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
Walker. 1t was made palpabe as the sunlight
then, that this scheme had its origin with these
men and their coadlutors, first, perhaps, in de.
sire TO promote their own interest, but mainly
in desire to strengthen the Slave power of the
country. 1t was, however, Mr.. Polk who con-
summated the annexation Of Texas, and who
brought on the war. Even the act of Congress
admitted Of a division of the new territory with
the power of converting it into free and slave
States, one Of each-the President suffered our
Minister TO Texas-himSef from the South also
Ito negotiate in such way that Texas not only
decided that the whole territory should embrace
the institution of slavery, but the Constitution Of
Texas forbids the practical abolition of the evil.
Congress admitted the State upon the terms, and
the anomal y was seen Of foreign territory merg.
ing herself into the American Union. The Con.
sttution declared that Senators and Representa-
tives should. for term Of years, be citizens Of
the United States, but no more heed was paid 10
this provision, than if there had been no Consli-
tuition. The whole Executive and Legislative
action was monstrous perverson and violation
of the Constitution, and, as in all Governments,
bad precedenlS are made the excuse for bad &C.
tions-so here we have an example which must
in future time tell for evil.
What is Texas to uS-or Mexico, should it be
ours from the Sabine or Rio Grande, 10 the
shores OF The Pachc-ours with its mines of gold
and silver, It's palaces and its temples its harbors
and rivers. It's capes aud mountains, its fertile
plains and lis boundloss resources of wealth.
what is all this, compared with unity, integrity
and honorl A united and happy people, com.
pact and convenient Government, homogeneous
institutions, and, as lar as may be, men who moi
only arc, but feel they are of"One Country. One
Constitution, and One D1sliny," are worth all the
territory stretching from The Nueces to the Wes.
tern ocean. Expansion is hazardous, whether it
bo trade or territories. Itmay please the eyes of
men, bcwlder their imaginations, and take cop.
live their judgments, but, like the Glory painted
by the poet OF Nature, it is as
"a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to en- large itself,
Till by broad spreading. it disperse to nought."
We know how little in accordance all this is with
the radically progressive spirit Of the times, bu,
il is ruth impressed upon us BY common sense,
BY history, and BY she natural order Of things.

the clergy become thst few of them had placed
themselves at the head Of Guerilla parties raised In the
vicinity of Mexico.
Mr.. Gentry confirms the accounts heretofore received

exists among them 1t Is desire for tho presence Of the
American army.
and the officers both civil and military 1t was at one
time expected that Gen. Taylor would march upon

The people looked for his arrival with anxiety, and
the day before Mr. Gentry left there prominent Next

General Taylor and the American army, which was
drunk by the whole company with applause There is,
therefore, but little prospect of the enemy receiving
aid from this quarter Of Mexico either in money
Gen. Taylor in a conversation with Mr. Gentry told
him that If he reinforced he expected TO be- he
