No MORE TERRITORY.

What has been the controlling vice Of all
monarchies thar have ever existed, but The con.
quest Of territory and the Unsuitable thirst for
ruoml
History will demonstrate that there never was
monarchy founded bulby the arm of Conquest.
and there never was one that continued aud flour
ished but by lis chershiug hand. On the Other
side history will affirm that d republic which has
been destroyed will point TO the spirit Of Con.
quest among It's c.tzenS, as the first and hnal
cause.
Rome and Greece were founded BY peaceful
colonies, and both perished in the act ol terrific.
rial acquisition. The United States were found.
ed bv peaceful and virtuous colonies, who fought
only in seI-deicnce; and they will exist and
flourish so long. and only SO long as they preserve
the spirit of their founders. When they have
become possessed with the lust Of Kingdoms they
will rush ailcr them 10 conquest and destruction.
Opposition, therefore 10 aggrandizemcnl, IS so far
from being monarchica feature. that ii is the
vital element of u republic, without Which lis
'poIilical death is inevitable.
Ii is the friends Of republican institutions and
the principles of republicanisn in this land, who
resist war for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and coaqueS
Of Mexico.
1t is the enemies Of Kingly progress in the gov
ernment who oppose the nsoIenl strides OF the
executive over the constitution aud lis Iime-ha!
lowed spirit in the nation.
Tn, Experiment asserts that the policy o
Federalism was to prevent the increase OF 'ht
