ALBERT GALLATIN ON THE WAR.

ALBERT GALLATlN ON THE WAR.
The venerable Albert Gallaiin, THOMAS
JEvrEnsoN's Secretary, has published a
pamphlet on the subject Of the war. He
advances the same propositions maintained
by Mr.. Clay. The following, we learn
from tho Chicago Journal, ore his conclu
sions:-
That the annexation Of Texas was an
offensive and unjust act 10 Mexico.
That the Government Of the United
States grossly erred in sending minister
to Mexico instead Of commissioner.
That Texas never had any valid claim
70 tho Rio del Norte as its boundary.
That the United States ought not 10
make conquest Of Mexico; or insist upon
receiving any other indemnifica,ion than
,hut due TO American citizens, BY Mexico,
before the war begun.
That, as a preliminary 10 peace, VIC
ought to cvacuatc the Mexican territory
now in our possession.
