SIdcl Norii Congress have declared a war
/ upon any such pretcnccs ! Never. 1t did grow
out Of annexation and as YOU see was not an
unnatural consequence: do not say ncces-
stry consequence. but what Is remarkable,
SIR Is That the grievance is ON the part of Mex
ico ava we maze the war. She has the proml-
heht compliant ana we strike the first blow.
SIR, nohrg the istory o. pers IN. no more
important than am. can be of any great conse-
qUeuce to Til. great people. But it is of some
consequence to myself and it is among nv con-
solutions, that from the very first in,imation Of
any design or desire to annex Texas 70 this
country. have opposed it with all nv ahility
III all places, and at all times. It is nov ten
years sir. since at Il meeting of our political
friends in New York, where that question was
one upon which the opinions of those friends
were good deal divided, in which received
many admouions not to commit n1v.elf | did
commit myself; and there it stands, and am
thankful for it. was then. and have been Mt
all times since, down to the period when the bill
Had ITS lGst reading and my vote was against it,
thorou-"'E' ont ana out. under all circnm-
stances, a9anst It, And my opposition was
i"ui"'el upon t"c ground That never would
ana never should, and say now never viii
ana never shaiI, vote tor any further annexation

we hear great deal, nowadays, about
new panacea, called the Wilmot Proviso a
very lnst sentiment. but not a sentiment certain
