troops be withdrawn Immediately, and let peace be
made. But the President informs the nation, that the
war will be pressed until Mexcos shall yield to de-
mands. Mr.. Burke in answer to similar remark re-
spectng the war against us in l776, in the House Of
Commons said:
You simply tell the coonists to lay down their arms
and then you will do lust as you please. Could the
most cruel conqueror say less? Had you conquered
the devil himself in hell, could you be less lbera?-
No."
