II the territory which is mean; is the republic of Texas
the case IS not IN point Texas had separated from Mex
cc, and declared and maintained her independence for
years before annexsson and Mexico had ceased to
upon its citizens The Texans had possession, and night
fully and by their assent the United States included them
in their Union There was therefore no violence com
miiied blood shed by the President securing Tex
as The same facts apply to all Of Texas, extending 10
the Rio GrandeT Isras cas IN possession up 70 thai

Neither did the President show coretous desire ac
qure any portion OF Mexico, did be commit violence
TO secure IT, Had he initiated Ahab, he would have
dered Gen. Taylor TO march has army across the Ro
Grande and occupy such part of the Mexican territory as
he wanted The therefore, is not IN point In fact
il is reversed Ii Mexico represents Naboth and The
President Ahab then il is Naboth who began the ARRAY
and made violent attack on has powerful neighbo and
consequence, has received severe drubbing The
ntegencer does not read The Bible carefully applies
il badly.
But we recommend to the yous editors of that patriotic
journal, since they have taken 10 reading the Bible 1--WE
hope they viii improve by the pracce0 that they read
and inwardly digest the 9Th chapter OF the Book Of
letter Of Col Wynkoop Of the Pennsy wanna volunteers
which charges the Inegencer and Its associates with
giving aid and comfort the enemy, and which appears

part of the song OF Deborah the prophecies in honor
of great victory obtained by the Hebrews their

That there is any material difference between the to-
res of the revolution, the bueligh ederalsts of the
of 1912, and the aders and abetters OF Mexico OF
this war; very doubtful and II there is any difference,
favor OF the old tories who had been born in al
leglance 10 the British and brought up in admlra-
ton and affection for it But those who join with
Mexico against their country even more mex
cusable than those ancient Jews, upon whose guilty
heads the prophecies invoked the bitter OF Heaven
7hey merely held back from the coneshe@ active
against their country. Whilst they denouncng the
of country wicked and outrageous HedUen
is smiling upon and browning il with glory almost
equal to that which lighted up the banners OF the He
brews when Barak thousand destroyed the heather

Whether the favorable evidence derived from that APP
probation will be sufficient TO soohe the consciences OF
those who stand by their country its present struggle
against Mexico and her allies in this country is easily
