RETROsPECTIvE--No. 2.
From tho Vermont Patriot of Dee. 81, 1886.
TWO IMPORTANT FACTS.
FACT THE FInsT.


The FedcraiSts have declared that President
Polk made the Mexican war. An act was pas
sed by Congress on the 18th of May, 1916, de-
clnring the existence Of war; by The acts Of Mer-
leo. This net was carried by sweeping RAZOR
ity, viz: in the House, l73 yeas, 10 Ia nays; in
the Senate, 40 yeas to 2 nays. Was it, then, the
President or Congress who adopted the war?
Fact THE SECOND.
Mexico, by Proclamation signed by her Die
lator Parades, DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNI
TED STATES, OIL the 18Th Of .1priI 1916, nearly
month before Congress or the President ac-
knowedged its existence. At the same time
Gen. Arista, commanding the Mexican army " of
the North" was directed TO inuade our territory,
ana he proceeded TO execute his orders, in doing
which he caused the battles of the 9th and 9th
of May, opposite Matamoras. lie crossed the
Rio Grande 10 subdue the State of Texas.
The day, on which the Patriot says that our
Congress recognized the war with Mexico, is May
10, ls46; aud the day on which it says that Par
edcs declared war, is April 49, 1916. Now we
wish TO add "two important facts" from the Off
cial documents.
Fact THE FIRST.
On the 2lst of May, 1915, JAMES X Polk, by
his Secretary, ordered Gen. Taylor 10 hold him
self in readiness to march into Texas with u. S.
troops the moment annexation should be consum-
mated-though warned by Mexico that This teouid
be considered an dct Of ,oar on our part. 1t will
be seen that this was one year lacking eight
days,) before Congress recognized the war, and
eleven months within two days. before the dec
laration of Paroles.
Fact THE SECOND.
On the 18th of june 1915, JAMES X. FOLK,
by his Secretary, repeated this order 10 Gen. Tay-
lor, expressly declaring that "Ms point of his
ultimate destination irdS The Wesiern frontier OF
IeruS, iphcre he ,couid select and occupy on OR
NEAR THE RIO GRANDE DEL NoRTE," &c. Here
we have the decision, by JAMES X. Polk, and
nobody else, Of the question of boundary-tho
decision that the Rio Grandc region (which Mr.
Benton says belonged to Mexico) is ours and his
order TO Gen. Taylor to occupy it. Now, from
annexation remotely, and from this order more
directly, Sprdng the War. Gen. Taylor obeyed
Polk, and in so doing met the Mexican forces on
the Sth and 9th of May. Compare the dates now
and VIC shall find that Folks order Folks opening
of The ,cdr, was made eleven months (within two
days. before the action Of our Congress, and ten
months and four days before the declaration of
Paroles We thus see that this is emphatcally
an Erecutive ,car, springing from orders which
were concealed from Congress for nearly year
and in fact never fully developed until the wal
had actually been begun, and it had become alb
soutely necessary for Congress to vote men ant
money to rescue Gen. Taylor and his army from
destruction.
