SPEECH OF THE
HON. TRUMAN SMITH, OF CON

HON. TRUMAN SMITH, OF CONN.
After referring to what had been said in
the House, by his Wing friends, Mr.. Smith
thus proceeded:
am sanguine in the belief that, if our
army had remained on this side of the Rio
Grande, there would have been only nom.
inal war with Mexico. But this policy did
not suit the purpose of the Executive. 1t
was too quiet, too transformations. Why,
then, was this war, which was originally de.
fensive, (ifthe President was right in claim.
ing to the Rio Grande,) converted into an
aggressive war? Why has he raised armies,
which in the aggregate must amount to at
least 100 900 men, and poured them into all
parts of Mexico! Why has he bombarded
her cities, assaulted her fortresses, trampIed
down her armies, and chased her Govern
ment from the metropolis of the Republic !
Why has he squandered over one hundred
millions of the public treasure, and consign-
ed many thousands of our citizens to a pre-
mature grave! This brings us back to the
subject suggested at the outset of my re-
marks-the objects ofthe war, and particu-
larly those which the Executive has been
trying to effect by giving it an aggressive
character.
And here, Mr.. Chairman, | would OBJ
serve, that there is an important distinction
between the personal and party motives of
the war and its avowed objects. The latter
Will be the principle subject of discussion.
But deem tproper to observe, that nothing
is more common than that the private mo-
tiVes IN adopting measures contrary to the
public welfare should be one thing while the
protested object is something totally differ
ent. TO get clue to the former in the
present instance, it is necessary to refer
to the Oregon question, and to the dis
position which the Administration Ultimate
ly made OF it. No doubt the President felt
himself greatly embarrassed by the finale of
that affair. He had committed himself, by
all the forms Of expression which the Eng
llsh language could supply, positively to the
assertion OF our title to the territory up to
"a degrees 40 minutes but not having
nerve enough to take a war with Great Brit
ain, he found it expedient to come down
right suddenly from that parallel to 40 de-
grees. He seems to have retreated with
the speed of the lightning telegraph He
even surrendered by giving up the whole of
Vancouyer's Island, some territory below
40 dogs. and conceded, also, the nayiga-
ton of the Columbia river, which he had

THE WHEEL OF LIFE,

IL w vi
~ sat beside cottage hearth,
A wheel was standing near,
A little infant whirled 1t round,
Then started back with fear.
Methought the magic Wheel Of LIE
Was whirled by that fair child,
And fast the oven heightened cord
Was on the spindle piled.
Time, standing near with clicking reel
Was counting of the chain;
And every month he tied knot,
And every year skcin.
AT first the thread was smooth AID white,
No spot or wrinkle thore,
For Innocence the wheel did turn
For Lye's immortal heir.
"Soon coarser grew the rol ing thread,
Uneven grow the skcin;
And Passion, with its crimson dye,
Began 10 leave its stain.
=" And lDuler yet the spindle whirred,
And quick the wheel dew round;
And fast upon tho spool of Lite,
Her thrcad tho spinner wound,
"She sung a fairy-echo song,
That maidons love to sing;
As turned the wheel, she little dreamed
What magic it would bring.
"The even sunny tinge Of Louc,
Entwined is golden hue,
And sweoter then the maiden sung,
And soft the spindle flew.
" Lo. ruby, emerald, purple tints
Twas Hope prepared the dye,
Aad Fancy drew the picture near,
On which the colors lie.
" little spuce Of Iris dye
Then dark the colors grew,
The spinner works with restless hand
And tears :he skein bedew.
The flaws grew thicker ind the rolls
Are broken here and there;
The thread has lost its even gloss,
Beneath The touch of care.
" The murring knot of Self is seen,
Aud Doubt its mildew leaves;
So oft .46lictioa stains the th'eud,
The weary spinner grieyes.
Z" But 10 the rolls are almost spun,
And Death, he brings the knife,
And cuts the band which binds the wheel;
Thus ends the thread of Life.
"These skeins oh, may their every thread
A cleansing undergo,
And whitcned by the blood of Christ
