The Rev. MIR Brownson, one of the ablest

cal condition of our army of occupation, he
should have demanded of Congress the rein
forcements and supplies necessary to relieve
it and secure the purpose for which 1t was a
yowedlv sent to the Rio Grande; and, If he
believed it proper or necessary; TO have IN
addition laid before Congress full and truth
