up his residence in Mexico and remained there till the
termination of the expedition under Colonel Doni phan
with whose command he returned. He had visited the
batte'fields where little armies had trumphed
seeming mpossibties 1t the duty of every lover of
his country perpetuate the memory their deeds
No language could give expression the oathng he felt
those wolves who had dshonorcd the grave and heaped
insults upon the eless remains of of Massachusetts,
before the flash OF whose living eye their souls
would quail. He had Witnessed much of the arocous
RACES upon American citizens and he soemnly be-
