geons-nnd last, though not. least, the.
march of the Mexican army across the Rio
Grande, left this Government no alternative
but that of war, or dishonor. And that

his own Government, when'at war with a
power-denouncing Ter. as a usur-
per and plunderer, commiserating the
enemy, appIauding their conduct and stig-
matizing his own country, however, many

the other. Against il, and against every
measure, aimed at the eristence of
our sacred, our blessed UNION, zee Swear
IN eternal hostility.
